Council backtracks after
cat owners pounce

HAPPY HOMECOMING
Air National Guard Lt. Col. Fred Foote gets an enthusiastic embrace from his daughter Riley, 4, when
he returned to Moffett Federal Airfield after a four-month deployment. Families and friends of the
129th Rescue Guard gathered to welcome home their heroes on Monday, June 10. Almost 150 men
and women from the unit were scheduled to arrive throughout the week, returning from missions in
Afghanistan and Cape Horn in Africa. Besides its wartime role of combat search-and-rescue missions,
the 129th works closely with the U.S. Coast Guard and others to rescue civilians.
Google denies giving NSA
‘direct access’ to user data
By Daniel DeBolt
N
ational Security Agency
documents leaked to
the press say Mountain
View’s Google has been cooperating with the United States
government to spy on citizens on
an unprecedented scale, allowing
direct access to the company’s
servers. Google executives deny
that to be the case.
According to bombshell reports
in the Guardian and Washington Post newspapers, an NSA
program called PRISM allows
the U.S. government to collect
data directly from the servers
of Google and others, including
Facebook, Apple and Microsoft.
The revelation that the NSA
apparently has such unchecked
INSIDE
ability to spy on the American
public’s internet activities came
from a slide show presentation
about PRISM, leaked by whistleblower and former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. He has fled
to Hong Kong, leaving behind a
$200,000-a-year job and a home
in Hawaii with his girlfriend.
“I’m willing to sacrifice all of
that because I can’t in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties
for people around the world
with this massive surveillance
machine they’re secretly building,” Snowden said in a video
interview.
A slide in the leaked NSA presentation about data gathering
described PRISM as “Collection
directly from the servers of these
US service providers: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook,
PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube,
Apple.”
The report was met with
strongly worded denial from
Google executives in a June 7
blog post titled “What the...?” by
CEO Larry Page and chief legal
officer David Drummond.
“The U.S. government does
not have direct access or a “back
door” to the information stored
in our data centers,” the executives write. “We had not heard
of a program called PRISM until
yesterday.”
The Google executives say they
do provide the U.S. government
with specific Google user data,
but only when required by law,
known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

fter public outcry, on Tuesday City Council members
were persuaded to scratch
new regulations for pet owners in
Mountain View, including controversial licensing and rabies shot
requirements for cats.
The regulations, which the
council voted in favor of last
week, are going back to the drawing board.
The new animal control ordinance, based on a model proposed by the city’s new animal
services provider, Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority, required a second vote of
approval on June 11 before it
could go into effect. It includes
a cat license requirement, with
a $10 annual fee ($50 if your cat
isn’t neutered or spayed) and
mandated rabies shots.
News of the ordinance’s
approval last week drew an angry
response online from cat owners
who complained that they had
not known about it.
Dozens of cat owners spoke
against the new ordinance Tuesday, and not one person spoke in
support.
“This is why I voted the way I
did last week,” said Mayor John
Inks, who was last week’s lone
vote of opposition.
Council member Mike Kasperzak conceded, “You were right.”
This time, council members voted 5-1, with Inks again
opposed, to keep the city’s existing ordinance, and add in the
legalization of beehives. Member
Jac Siegel was absent.
Several residents said the ordinance would require they go
against the advice of veterinarians that indoor cats not be vaccinated for rabies.
“Two of my cats have had
breast cancer, probably because
of the rabies shots they had when
they were little,” said Alison
Stern. “Making all of us put our
cats at risk is not OK,” she said in
tears.
Resident Todd Nagengast said
he chooses not to vaccinate his
indoor cats and is “concerned
that new ordinance would basically make me a law-breaker,
make me guilty of a misdemeanor, I’d like to not go to jail
for that.”

Council hesitant to boost
library funding
By Daniel DeBolt
I
n city budget discussions on
Tuesday, the City Council
supported adding $50,000 to
next year’s library budget for new
books, CDs, and DVDs and other
materials. Even with the boost,
the city’s spending on such items
will still be lower than in comparable cities’ libraries.
Library board trustee Randall
Stock told the council on Tuesday
that the city has been spending
less on materials than five other
“benchmark” libraries and recommended an increase in funds.
“Mountain View has a very
good library with similar costs”
in most areas, he said. “The
red flag is the city’s investment
in materials, books, and CDs.
Mountain View spends 17 percent less per capita” than comSee BUDGET, page 11

Police arrested a San Jose man for allegedly stealing a bicycle
at the Mountain View Caltrain station after a witness alerted
police.
The witness told officers of hearing a lock being cut and seeing a
man hiding a pair of bolt cutters under his shirt at about 5:15 p.m.
on June 11, according to Shino Tanaka of the Mountain View
Police Department. Based on the witness’ description, officers
found the suspect heading southbound on Stevens Creek trail,
riding a stolen white bicycle. The suspect refused to stop, leading
to a brief chase, Tanaka said.
Officers arrested Alden Garcia, Sr., a parolee out of San Jose.
He was booked for resisting arrest, possession of stolen property
and petty theft with priors, and on charges of being under the
influence of a controlled substance. Garcia was transported to
county jail.

KMVT ELECTS SIX NEW BOARD MEMBERS
Kenzo Kamei
August 1918-June 1, 2013
Kenzo Kamei, resident of Mountain
View, California, passed away June 1,
2013 at the age of 94. Kenzo was born in
Vacaville, California in August 1918 to
farm workers Suteatsu Kamei and Yei
Yoshikawa.
As a young child, Kenzo went to live
in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan with his
uncle, Tamejiro Nishihara. In Japan, he
attended elementary and secondary school. After completing secondary school in April
1936, he returned to the Vacaville area, where he worked
with his mother and father
harvesting crops and working
on farms. He continued his
education by attending evening classes to learn English.
Shortly before World War II,
Kenzo was working in Sunnyvale, California at a flower
nursery. At the flower nursery, he met
Ruth Kisa "Kisako” Nishimoto and fell in
love. He and Ruth married shortly before
they were interned at Heart Mountain,
Wyoming. During the war, Kenzo had
daily work release passes that allowed him
to work outside of the camp. He worked
on the railroad as a spike hitter and Ruth
worked in the internment camp cafeteria.
He returned to the Sunnyvale area after
the war and worked as a warehouseman
and a gardener. He was able to earn enough
money to purchase land to establish Kamei
Nursery, Inc. in Mountain View with Ruth.
The nursery specialized in growing cut
flowers, for which he won numerous
awards. He loved the nursery business
and at one time had nurseries in Mountain View and Morgan Hill. He retired in
2001. Thereafter, he spent several years caring for his long
beloved Ruth, the love of his
life. They were married for 70
years. Ruth lived 91 years and
passed away on June 8, 2012.
Kenzo is survived by his
son, Kenneth; daughters, Eileen (Robert) Eng, and Judy
(Steve) Inamori; grandchildren Ami, Ellen and Jonathan Kamei, Emily Eng Holbrook, Laura Eng Derdenger
and Julia Eng, Bradley, Gregory and
Kathryn Inamori; great grandchild
Davis Patrick Derdenger, and numerous
nieces and nephews. Kenzo was preceded
years earlier by his brothers Tokunosuke
and Kameji, and his sister Shizuze.
A memorial service will be held Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at the
Mountain View Buddhist Temple 575 N.

The day the video

MOUNTAIN VIEW SAYS GOODBYE TO VIDEOSCOPE,
CITY’S LAST VIDEO RENTAL SHOP

N
ostalgia lines the shelves
in Videoscope, Mountain View’s last video
rental store. The sentiment
overwhelms upon entering the
storeroom, where navigating the
clutter of racks and boxes that
swell with films of every era and
genre seems impossible without
a map — or your neighborhood
video clerk.
Going to the video store is,
after all, a hands-on experience. For those whose memories
extend back before the era of
Netflix, the sheer kinesthetic
involvement of renting a movie
requires a certain level of commitment. Not just to movies,
or even to the customer-service
interaction, but to a dying
medium.
Videoscope, located at 2290
W. El Camino Real, is the latest
victim, following in the footsteps of video rental franchises
Blockbuster and Hollywood

competitors, years of steadily
decreasing revenues followed by
a proposed rent increase have

unger isn’t just a problem
in the developing world.
Even in the ostensibly
well-to-do communities of Silicon Valley, one out of every three
children rely on free or reducedprice meals provided to them by
their local schools.
But what happens when school
isn’t in session?
The Mountain View Whisman
School District and a local food
bank have answers to that question.
Kathy Jackson, CEO of the Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa
Clara and San Mateo counties,
wants struggling local families
to know they don’t need to worry
about how they will feed their
children over the summer.
The food bank’s “Stop Childhood Hunger” campaign aims to
help kids have a carefree summer.
According to a Second Harvest
press release, the organization
plans serve about 100,000 children each month this summer.
Parents of children at Crittenden, Castro, Theuerkauf and
Monta Loma schools may have
seen a Second Harvest flier
promoting the campaign. The
organization distributed infor-

to close later this month.
mational material at those campuses, as they each serve a large
percentage of socioeconomically
disadvantaged children.
“Making sure kids get enough
to eat is one way to help end the
cycle of poverty,” Jackson said in
a statement. “Education is the
key to earning a decent living,
but hunger can deprive children
of the opportunity to get a good
education. When kids have the
nutritious food they need to
thrive, they are better prepared
to learn. They have the energy to
pursue their dreams.”
Information on Second Harvest programs can be found at
the organization’s website, shfb.
org, or by calling their multilingual hotline at 800-984-3663.
The local elementary and middle school district also has a program for feeding children over
the summer. Craig Goldman,
superintendent of the Mountain
View Whisman School District,
said the Seamless Summer program is open to all children
under the age of 18.
There is no registration necessary. Anyone under 18 can
simply show up at Monta Loma
school, prove their age and eat
breakfast and lunch for free,
Goldman said. The program is
scheduled to run from June 17
through July 26, with breakfast
served from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.
and lunch from 11:30 a.m. to
12:30 p.m. Monta Loma school
is located at 460 Thompson Ave.
in Mountain View.
“It may appear that these are
economic boom times for the
local community, but we still
have many families that are
struggling to get by.” Goldman said. “So these additional
resources are very helpful for
families to feed their children
and not have to make impossible
choices to make ends meet.”
Like Jackson, Goldman said it
is crucial that children not have
to worry about where their next
meal is going to come from.
“We want students to be able
to focus on having a happy and
healthy childhood and not worry
about whether they’re going to
have an adequate amount of food
to get through the day.”
Google security guards
protest working conditions
By Daniel DeBolt

MICHELLE LE
SEIU members and supporters protest over working conditions for
guards employed by Google’s security contractor on June 6.
or some, a job at Google is
the stuff dreams are made
of, but for security guard
Manny Cardenas, it’s been more
of a nightmare.
While working as security
guard at Google’s Mountain
View headquarters, 24-year-old
Cardenas said he had to move
back in with his mother and
enroll his daughter in MediCal
because his pay amounted to
$1,000 a month at most, and he
received no health benefits.
He says Google’s security guard
contractor, Security Industry
Specialists, doesn’t provide a set
number of work hours every week
to its security guards at Google,
which meant he’s worked as little
as one day a week some weeks.
Even though he’s paid $16 an
hour, his monthly pay at its peak
was less than what a full time job
at minimum wage provides.
Not all of Google’s security
guards are treated this way, but
according to Service Employees
International Union, a survey
found that 80 percent of the contract security guards were only
offered part time work, and similar problems have been found
for security guards employed by
Apple. Just a few years ago, under
a different contractor, this wasn’t
the case for Google’s security
guards, the union says.
At a rally at Google headquarters Thursday, June 6, union
members called on Google to

a Mountain View resident reported a suspicious person with a
crowbar. This call resulted in the arrest of a burglary suspect.
We continue to urge the Mountain View community to always
‘See Something, Say Something.’”
BREAK-IN, INTERRUPTED
A man and his daughter discovered an intruder climbing into
their home through a bathroom window on June 6, police said.
After hearing a strange sound outside, the daughter saw a man
leaning into the bathroom window and screamed to warn her
father, according to the police report.
The intruder, described as a Hispanic man appearing to be 25
years old, about 5 feet tall and weighing 190 pounds, fled, jumping over fences. The victims gave chase, but lost track of him, they
told police.

A
lmost a quarter of Santa
Clara County’s property
owners are set for a jump
in their property tax bills, thanks
to this year’s boost in the residential real estate market.
During the real estate market
collapse, 136,000 property owners’ residences assessed below
their purchase prices, according
to the Santa Clara County Assessor’s office
The market value of 47,000
of those properties have completely erased that lost value and
now exceed their original price.
Another 81,000 properties will
regain part of their lost value,
officials said.
With the increase in market
value, assessed values increase as
well, leading to a bump in property taxes.
Mountain View Whisman
and Los Altos both will see an
8 percent increase in property
tax revenues in their elementary
school districts.
“The market solely determines
whether the assessed value of a
property is reduced or restored.”
said Santa Clara Assessor Larry
Stone.
California has two propositions
used to calculate property taxes.
Proposition 13 prohibits property
taxes from increasing by no more
than 2 percent a year measured
from the base year value. However, Prop 13 no longer applies if
the assessed value of a property is
lower than current market value,
which is where Proposition 8
comes in. Homeowners who have
property that is lower than the
purchase price have their property tax reassessed at the current,
lower market value.
Stone said that the tax hikes
aren’t necessarily a bad thing.
“The increases in assessed value are clear evidence that Silicon
Valley is roaring out of the economic abyss created by the recession,” he said. “Unemployment
has dropped to 7 percent, faster
than the nation or the state. The
NASDAQ is soaring. Apartment
rents have reached record levels
with single-family homes close
behind. It was inevitable that
property taxes would follow.”
“While increases in property
taxes are never welcome, this is
actually very good news for our
local economy, especially for
homeowners. It means the value
of most families’ single most
valuable asset, their homes, is
once again regaining solid equity

County sees wide disparities in health, life spans
By Samson So
S
anta Clara County residents
are about to be much more
informed about their health
and living standards.
The County of Santa Clara
released the Community Health
Existing Conditions Report June
6, initiating the first step in creating the new Health Element of the
Santa Clara County General Plan.
The report examines the health
conditions and risk factors.
The report provides many
key findings on the physical
well-being of Santa Clara county’s residents. According to the
GOOGLE PROTEST
take some responsibility for the
situation, recalling that in 2004
and 2008 Google had responded
to similar pressure to fairly compensate its janitors, who are now
unionized.
“In the past they did what’s
right, I’m confident they’ll do
what’s right again,” San Jose
City Council member Ash Kalra
told the crowd.
VIDEOSCOPE
Odon Sy to shut down operations at the end of this month.
The closing is tentatively set for
June 22.
This news came as a huge
blow to the store’s fiercely loyal
customer base. “Technology has
killed another time-honored
institution,” says longtime customer Kathy Graham.
Graham first visited the store
in 1982, the year of Videoscope’s
inception, at its original Palo
Alto location. Nona Sy was a
Filipino emigre with a collection of 50 horror films on VHS,
report, county residents are very
healthy compared to the rest of
California and the country.
Residents of Santa Clara tend
to live longer than others in the
state and country. At the same
time, disparities exist. Citizens
of Los Altos, Mountain View
and Palo Alto have an average life
expectancy of 86.7 years, while
midtown San Jose has an average
life expectancy of 79.5 years.
In Santa Clara County, cancer
and heart disease remain the
leading causes of death, attributed to 50 percent of all deaths.
The number of overweight and
obese county residents is on the
rise, with 55 percent of adults
and 25 percent of middle school
students considered overweight
or obese. Southern parts of the
county, like midtown San Jose,
Gilroy and Morgan Hill, have the
highest rates of heart disease and
diabetes, the report said.
The report also shows the
discrepancies of health based on
social status, race and ethnicity,
income and education. Obesity
remains a significant problem for
lower-income families. Economically disadvantaged students
are 62 percent more likely to be
overweight or obese, compared
to non-disadvantaged students.
Hispanic/Latino students are
also 55 percent more likely to be
overweight or obese than white
students.
The report also examined the
rates of health insurance in Santa
Clara County. The percentage
of uninsured adults (age 18-64)
more than doubled from 8 percent in 2000 to 18 percent in
2009. Also, 35 percent of Santa
Clara County adults under 35
years of age lack health insurance, according to the report.
Santa Clara’s Health Element
is a new update to the county’s
general plan, which outlines how
a community’s physical, social
and economic resources can and
should be used.
“The purpose of this planning
process is to identify existing
health conditions in the county,
and to take steps now to anticipate and prevent injuries and
diseases before they occur.” said
Ken Yeager, president of Santa
Clara County Board of Supervisors, and chair of its Health and
Hospital Committee.
The Health Element is the first
of its kind and will be used as a
model for other counties, states
and the entire country, he said.

sccplanning.org.
Representatives at SIS and
Google were not available for
comment about the protest.
“What’s this about? Workers’
rights!” shouted a crowd of several dozen who marched around
Google’s campus Thursday afternoon. Signs said: “Security officers deserve secure jobs” and
“Google: is it evil to turn a blind
on SIS’s bad behavior?”
Members of a delegation of
400 Belgian business leaders who
were visiting Google seemed to
be bit surprised by the action.
“We are accustomed to strikes
in Belgium, it’s a democratic
right,” said Gael Lambinon, a
member of the Belgian business
group. “It’s nice to see that people
are free to claim their rights, even
at Google in Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley is not paradise — that
is what we tend to imagine.”
A young Googler approached
the Voice to ask what the protest
was about. Upon hearing a brief
explanation, he said, “Whatever,
I don’t give a (expletive).”
Mountain View resident Elena
Pacheco said the situation was
illustrative of there being “two
Silicon Valleys” where “the rich
are getting more rich and the
poor are getting worse.”
A letter to Google from labor
leaders and three San Jose City
Council members claims that
SIS posted anti-union content
on its company website and “has
gone so far as to break the law
by infiltrating worker meetings
— a charge which the federal
government investigated — and
substantiated.”
The SIS website does have a
page with information countering the SEIUs efforts, including a link to a ruling from the
National Labor Relations board
which says that the charge about
SIS sending spies to union meetings “may have merit” but was
dropped because it appeared to
be an “isolated” incident and
no other such charges have been
made against SIS.
The SEIU reports that 40,000
security guards nationwide have
joined the union.
years before cassettes had fully
reached American homes.
“I told my husband, ‘Why
don’t we open a store and make
them available to all people?’”
Sy said. “We bought everything
over the years. We own every
one of these tapes.”
The store moved to Los Altos
in 1996 and to Mountain View
in 2002. As the collection of
titles expanded to the thousands,
operations within the store grew
to include Sy’s husband, Odon,
who had been let go from his job
as an engineer. For the next three
decades, the couple set about
spreading the joy of cinema in
the form of VHS, LaserDisc, and
DVD rentals.
“Those were very good years,”
Odon says. “Fantastic years.”
It was not built to last, according to Odon. Although the business achieved local notoriety
for its extensive LaserDisc collection, the large, record-shape
disc never really replaced the
success of the VHS. When the
smaller, higher-resolution DVD
was introduced, Odon says,
“The studios loved it.”
Immediately, the LaserDisc was
killed, a decision that had two consequences. First, it set a precedent
by which a cinematic medium can
be swiftly eliminated. Second, the
DVD was digital, meaning it can
be copied illegally.
“Everything is copied, upload-
ed, downloaded,” Odon says.
“Studios are financially strapped
right now; budgets are getting
smaller and smaller, and it’s hitting everybody.”
Streaming video offered a
financial solution for the industry.
Hollywood effectively eliminates
the middleman while regaining
control over how, and to whom,
movies are distributed.
“Many of our customers want
us to try our best to continue, to
keep on going,” Odon says. “We
are closing because we cannot
fight it.”
Now, the family is selling off
its personal collection of films,
which has since grown to 20,000
VHS, 20,000 DVDs, and 10,000
LaserDiscs. Customers new and
old have been trickling in, either
to explore it for the first time, or
to have last conversations with
their friends behind the counter.
“There’s nothing left like this,”
a customer says, walking out of
the store. “Now, it’s just houses.”
“We just feel like we are lucky,”
Nona says. “We were there when
it was a novelty, and we lasted
this long. It’s sad, but it’s time to
say goodbye.”
“I cannot retire,” Odon says.
“I’ll be looking for things. I still
don’t know what’s out there.”

NCOUNCILBRIEFS
COUNCIL OKS 21 HOMES
A largely vacant 1.4-acre lot at 137 Easy St. may soon be home
to a development of row houses after the council unanimously
approved the project on Tuesday, June 11.
Robeson Homes plans to build 21 detached row homes, each
three-stories tall, with an estimated average price of $850,000
each. Sizes range from 2,000 to 2,900 square feet.
Neighbors complained about traffic and the location of the
driveway entrance for the project, with one neighbor saying,
“Our community is too small to handle this much traffic.” The
portion of Easy Street in front of the project, just north of Central
Expressway, is used by those entering Highway 85.
Council member John McAlister said he was happy to see “ownership” housing being built in the city. It was noted that the project
scored a relatively high 125 points for environmental friendliness
with the GreenPoint rating system. A total of 16 trees will be
removed, while 65 will be planted, according to the plans.

GOOGLE NSA
and every request, and frequently
pushes back when requests are
overly broad or don’t follow the
correct process,” the executives
write. “Press reports that suggest
that Google is providing openended access to our users’ data
are false, period. Until this week’s
reports, we had never heard
of the broad type of order that
Verizon received — an order that
appears to have required them to
hand over millions of users’ call
records. We were very surprised
to learn that such broad orders
exist. Any suggestion that Google
is disclosing information about
our users’ Internet activity on
such a scale is completely false.”
Google’s executives note that
they have worked hard to be
“transparent” about the data
requests received, being the first
internet company to publish a
“Transparency Report” about
CAT LICENSE
“Just the fact there’s a possibility somebody could be arrested
for a misdemeanor for having a
cat just scares the bejeesus out
of me,” said council member
John McAlister, who made a
motion to remove the cat license
requirement from the ordinance.
He later withdrew it so the entire
ordinance could be reviewed.
Residents and council members said the new animal control
ordinance was too long, detailed
and affected too many people
to be approved without more
scrutiny. A review will soon be
underway with efforts to get
public input, city manager Dan
Rich said.
The cat license controversy
drew the the public’s attention to
the ordinance’s other problems,
which also were not discussed by
council members last week, such
as rules forbidding dogs on city
property.
“The reason we don’t have a
room full of dog lovers is because
they haven’t read the part of the
ordinance that says you shan’t
have a dog on city property,” said
council member Ronit Bryant.
Council member Margaret
Abe-Koga noted that a former
council member who had often
brought her dog to City Hall
would be in violation of the ordinance.
“A lot of business let their
employees bring their pets,” she
said. “Should we be more pet
friendly, too?
Cat owners protest
Carol Hyde, director of the
government requests for data.
The reports show a steadily
increasing number of requests for
user data, from 12,539 requests
in last half of 2009 to 21,389 in
the last half of 2012. Between
66 percent and 76 percent of the
‘We didn’t fight the
Cold War just so we
could rebuild the
Stasi ourselves.’
YONATAN ZUNGER OF GOOGLE
requests led Google to turn over
some data, starting in 2011.
The executives also appear
to oppose the laws that compel
them to hand over user data, laws
which apparently require a “level
of secrecy” about the requests.
“We understand that the U.S.
and other governments need to
Palo Alto Human Society, was
one of the dozens who spoke
Tuesday against the cat licensing
requirement. “It is essentially
unenforceable. Cats live in loose
association with people, often
showing up just for food. It can
lead to abandonment of cats,” she
said. Because enforcement would
likely have to be “complaintdriven” it would be “unfairly
enforced.”
Christina Peck of Fat Cat
Rescue and the Stanford Cat
Network said the two cat rescue
groups also oppose mandatory
rabies shots and licenses, noting
that the groups operate without
any contact with SVACA.
Police Capt. Max Bosel, who
called cat licensing and rabies
vaccinations a “common and
best practice,” had noted that the
ASPCA endorses rabies vaccinations and cat licensing requirements, and most cities in the
county require both.
Summarizing the “general
belief” by most groups that
oppose cat licensing, Bosel said
“they theorize that licensing
will lead to additional stray cat
populations and additional cats
in shelters, which will kill cats at
a greater number” but that is not
the experience of the city’s animal control provider. Bosel said
fewer than 700 cats are licensed
in the city of Santa Clara, where
SVACA is based, while over
3,500 dogs are licensed.
It was noted that 84 percent of
cats are saved from euthanasia
at the SVACA shelter at 3370
Thomas Road in Santa Clara,
which also serves Campbell
and Monte Sereno. The other
SVACA cities have all adopted a
similar ordinance, which Abe-
take action to protect their citizens’ safety — including sometimes by using surveillance,” the
executives write. “But the level
of secrecy around the current
legal procedures undermines the
freedoms we all cherish.”
Google’s chief architect Yonatan
Zunger wrote his own response.
“Owing to the nature of my work
at Google over the past decade, it
would have been challenging —
not impossible, but definitely a
major surprise — if something
like this could have been done
without my ever hearing of it.”
He added his own concerns
about the U.S. government’s
growing surveillance apparatus.
“I, personally, am by now disgusted with their conduct: the
national security apparatus has
convinced itself and the rest of
the government that the only way
it can do its job is to know everything about everyone. That’s not
how you protect a country. We
didn’t fight the Cold War just so we
could rebuild the Stasi ourselves.”
Koga said should be a concern
for SVACA’s board.
The week prior, SVACA director Dan Soszynski said the
license requirement aimed to
increase the rate at which lost
cats are returned to owners in a
96-hour holding period, now at
only 10 percent. Fifty percent of
dogs are returned, though some
say the comparison isn’t fair.
He said that SVACA recommends cats wear collars with
registration tags. Several cat
owners had issues with this saying that inserting chips in cats
was enough to identify them at
shelters. Others said that collars
come off or are a danger to cats
if they get caught on a fence,
though “break-away” collars are
available.
“If I tried as hard as I could to
abide by your ordinance — my
cat loses his collar on a regular
basis — it just won’t work,” said
resident Carter Coleman. “To
pass a law you know residents
cannot abide by doesn’t make
any sense.”

Stone said his office is in the
process of sending out annual notification letters that will
inform homeowners of the current assessed values. That will help
identify the geographic areas that
can be expected to received the
largest increases in property taxes.
“Santa Clara County is one of
only 10 counties in California
to provide this early notice,”
said Stone.
Stone said he encourages homeowners to use the on-line tool
at www.sccassessor.org to help
them to understand which comparable sales were used to determine the assessment of homes.
Property owners will also be
allowed an informal review of
their assessed value after they’ve
received their notice.

parable libraries in the area.
Stock said the library board
voted unanimously to recommend restoring a $50,000 cut
made to the library’s annual
materials budget during the
recession in 2009, even though
the city “will still be spending
7 percent less than the average
of the other libraries” with the
funding restored.
Council members were hesitant to restore the $50,000 for
more than a one-time basis, voting 6-0 to approve the funding
for next year only.
“Our library is one of our
jewels, I would very much like to
restore the funding,” said council
member Ronit Bryant. “But we
have received budget designed to
be balanced.”
“As a city manager, I always
have concerns about ongoing
expenses,” said Dan Rich, adding
that spending less than $50,000
on an ongoing basis would be
more “palatable.”
Rich’s proposed 2013-14 general fund budget, which also funds
the library, totals $97.5 million
this year, with $1.9 million left
over, based on revenue projections. Last year’s adopted general
fund budget was $95.5 million.

Don’t move social services

t’s not always obvious when we as individuals arrive at a
crossroad. Decisions that seem inconsequential at the time
can lead to events and situations that can be life-changing.
Some crossroads, however, are quite predictable and it is useful
to consider the options when we’re in one. Personal character
could be at stake.
Take this question: Should a high school graduate go directly
to college right after high school, or should she get away for a
year or two to accumulate experiences and perspectives from the
wider world? Whether to take a gap year is a compelling question for an 18 year old, not to mention for her parents. Is it also a
momentous question? Perhaps. Parents may exhibit high anxiety
if the subject even comes up. Are there advantages in this competitive global economy in having to make it on your own for a
while, in going places and doing things that may have little to do
with advancing your career?
Summer is the season that brings such adventures to mind.
The future is out there and some adventures are best experienced
when you’re young and healthy. Having the money to explore in
comfort is great, but so is not having that kind of money — to
a point. In taking a meaningful break, you want to have a good
plan. One place to start is a web search for “gap year,” which
turns up five or six outfits offering a range of possibilities.
A few ideas: interning with a lawyer in China, assisting a veterinarian in Romania, interning as a reporter in South Africa. A
few more: rehabbing buildings in Thailand, assisting in the classroom in Ghana, working as a ranch hand in Australia.
Is there a higher priority than becoming an educated person?
Maybe not, but what is education, and to whom should we be
putting that question? “Education,” said William Butler Yeats, “is
not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” Is there that fire
inside you? How brightly is it burning?
All this is not to deny the reality that conventional wisdom
describes: Job hunting these days is brutal. No college degree
means few prospects for a conventionally comfortable life unless
you’re a born entrepreneur. Good schools very often lead to
good connections and a resume that survives the winnowing.
Life-enriching experiences can be had after college, after all the
hard work and the long hours, after winning the security of that
degree — right?
The jury is out. Massive student debt now forces grads to
choose jobs that may pay well but aren’t fulfilling. Is there a college course in how to live fully? In figuring out what’s important
and what is not? How about a class in discovering what you really
want to do, and, crucially, what you really do not want to do?
There are valuable courses and important experiences to be had
in college, but a great deal depends on what a student brings to it.
The institution is not called the ivory tower for nothing.
“The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the
individual the burden of pursuing his own education,” renowned
educator, thinker and Stanford scholar John W. Gardner once
said. “This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over
our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school
buildings and nowhere else.”
By Joe Simitian
F
or Mountain View, it really
is a case of déjà vu all over
again.
In the late 1990s, Santa Clara
County officials planned to
shutter the County’s Mountain
View social services/welfare
office and relocate to a more
southerly location. This is the
office that provides essential
services to people of modest
means, including health care,
welfare and help in moving
from welfare to work.
The notion at the time was that
a location closer to the County’s
center would be more convenient
to more people; and besides, the
argument went, “the need isn’t
there in your part of the County.”
Wrong. When we actually looked
to see where the clients were from
who showed up at the Moffett
Boulevard office in Mountain
View, lo and behold, the Mountain View site was actually more
convenient than the proposed site.
Armed with that data, the office —
and services — stayed local.
Now, more than a dozen years
later, we face the same debate
again.
But this time the challenge is
even greater. It’s not a matter of
choice. The Moffett Boulevard
office will close toward the end of
August because the lease is up and
the owner has sold the property.
So all these years later, we’re
again faced with proposals to
relocate these services to “central
Santa Clara County,” which is far
from “central” for residents of the
North County area I represent,
and for Mountain View residents
in particular. The challenge is even
more acute for the large number of
low-income residents who rely on
public transportation.
While the area I represent (District Five) is undeniably more
prosperous than other parts of the
County, it is in many respects an
even tougher place to make it for a
person of modest means.
Too often people of limited
resources become “invisible”
because of their limited numbers
and the relative prosperity of the
larger community. But as too
many Mountain View residents
have reason to know, our region’s
prosperity is neither universal nor
uniform.
That invisibility, and the relatively smaller number of lower
income folks, means the tendency
is, understandably, to provide
essential services, like our social
services office, in areas where the
population using County services
is both larger and more visible.
And, of course, the high cost of
living in our end of the County,
particularly skyrocketing rents,
makes day-to-day survival an
even greater challenge.
Ironically, one of the reasons
the County has been considering
sites closer to the County’s center
is the high cost of commercial
rents in Mountain View, which
just makes the point about how
tough it can be to hang on in our
part of the County.
Simply put, invisibility, fewer
services and the high cost of living combine to make it especially
tough for low-income residents of
Mountain View and surrounding
North County communities.
The good news is that County officials have redoubled their
efforts to find an appropriate and
affordable location in Mountain
View — an effort I’m pushing.
And I’m hopeful that my colleagues on the Board of Supervisors will support my efforts to keep
these services in Mountain View.
For a great many folks, making
it in Mountain View is a daily
struggle. But with help that’s real
and local and accessible, they can
not only survive, but thrive.

the Santa Clara County Board
of Supervisors. He represents
District Five, which includes

VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY
DUBIOUS ABOUT
LICENSING CATS
I am writing in response to
your article “You got a license
for that cat, Mister?” (June 7,
2013) about a new bill requiring Mountain View citizens to
have licenses for cats. It does not
seem enforceable and I doubt it
would be cost-effective. For one
thing, unlike dogs, stray cats are
incredibly difficult to round up.
It’s pretty hard to pick up your
own cat, let alone try to catch a
wary stray. They don’t react particularly well to collars either. It
is the basic nature of a cat to go
where it pleases and do what it
pleases.
My family has a cat, but we
do not”own” this cat. It started
hanging around our house looking hungry one day so we fed it.
We have now been feeding it and
taking care of it for a year or so.
We would take it to the vet if it
was sick or injured, and we give
it flea medicine, but he could
have a second family for all we
know. Would this cat also be
covered under this law?
The reason cats have a lower
return rate than dogs is that cats
don’t really have any one home.
“Home” to a cat is its marked
territory. It may disappear on
occasion for several days before
returning.
Furthermore, cats are natural
pest hunters. They are unobtrusive and keep mostly to
themselves. They don’t leave
droppings on the street like
strays do. They are not typically
carriers for disease, and there
has not been an outbreak of a
cat-specific disease (rabies etc.)
that I am aware of. One reason
argued is that it will help return
cats to their rightful owners,
but most of the cats that are
picked up would probably come
home if you left them alone long
enough.
If this is to control the cat
population, licensing will not
solve this problem either. This
bill does not seem like a financial gain as the fee is only $10 per
year, and the cost of enforcing
this would probably offset that
tiny payout. So is this law made
simply because it could be done,
or is there a larger issue I don’t
know about?
Personally I find the notion of
requiring licenses to keep cats to
be fairly dubious.

IMPEACH OBAMA
Just because the government
“isn’t reading our e-mail,” no
one should be resting easy these
days. The sort of meta-data
being collected by the NSA (and
who knows what other secret
Federal Agencies), is the same
kind use to formulate “signature
strikes,” based not on actual
guilt, but on “patterns of behavior.”
It’s a sad commentary that
we’ve been through one impeachment based on lies about an
affair, yet we see Republicans
and Tea Partiers sit idly by while
the president spies on us, and
draws up “hit lists.” Never mind
the Democrats, who also swore
an oath to protect the Constitution.
This is exactly the sort of executive over-reach that impeachment was designed to remedy.

STEINS OFFERS BROAD ARTISAN SELECTION,
EXCELLENT EATS TO BOOT

ever ask Ted Kim a simple question about beer.
If you do, you’re in for a
discourse on the qualities of craft
beer, its history and nuances, the
growth of the industry, and the
subtle differences between an
IPA and a Belgian dubbel. The
man is encyclopedic and passionate about beer.
Kim opened Steins Beer Garden in downtown Mountain
View in March in the space last
occupied by Villa 8 Buffet. It has
a mammoth, 8.000-square-foot
interior with an additional 4,000
square feet outdoors, seating
about 300 in all. Steins is reminiscent of beer halls in Europe
with its vaulted ceiling, festive
atmosphere and first-class eats.
Inside, it’s noisy with long
tables suited for groups, but there
are smaller tables and booths as
well. Conversation is possible at
smaller tables even when the place
is busy. Adding to the din, large
flat-screen TVs abound — showing sports, of course. The decor
has a contemporary feel, polished woods with pale walls that
reflect light as well as sound. An
L-shaped bar anchors the room.
Kim defines Steins as “a modern American beer garden.”
With 30 beers on tap, the choices
are not quite overwhelming.
Some beer halls have more than
100 beers on tap. Unless one
is an aficionado, the tendency
would be to simply order something familiar. Kim has authored
a thoughtfully composed beer
menu that describes, in detail,
Continued on next page

Continued from previous page
each of the beers offered.
A Sunnyvale native, Kim
became interested in beer while
working in Disney’s international
labor division. “I lived in Pasadena and frequented a local beer bar
that had 120 beers on tap. I went
through them all several times
and became extremely interested
in crafted beers.” Lured back
to northern California, he was
in charge of launching Paris
Baguette in Palo Alto and Santa
Clara before getting the bug to do
his own thing.
Steins isn’t just about libations; the food is noteworthy,
too. Executive Chef Colby Reade
turns out quantities of good
food, quickly. Reade worked at
two benchmark San Francisco
restaurants, Hawthorne Lane
and Joyce Goldstein’s Square
One, both sadly gone and sorely
missed. Reade knows what he’s
doing in the kitchen.
Steins original plan was for
continuous kitchen and bar
service from late morning until
closing. “We were slammed from
the beginning. So much so that
we had to define lunch and dinner hours so the kitchen could
recover,” Kim said. To bridge
the gap between lunch and dinner, the bar remains open with a
happy-hour menu.
The cinnamon donuts come with hot chocolate and creme anglaise.
For appetizers, the three mini
corn dogs ($8) with slaw, and
pickled mustard-seed vinaigrette
had been reshaped as orbs, two
bites each of breaded, deep-fried
happiness — perfect with beer.
The summer squash salad
($12) of mixed greens, roasted
corn, cracked wheat berries,
herb pesto and lemon vinaigrette
didn’t have much oomph. What
flavor there was came from the
roasted corn kernels. A livelier
vinaigrette would have helped.
Two of the Steins sandwiches
are worth a special trip. The fried
chicken sandwich ($12) was layered with green apple slaw, spiced
honey, pickled red onion and aioli, on house-made ciabatta. The
sandwich was mouth-watering,
the french fries absolutely addictive. By the way, Steins makes its
own breads and buns.
Steins burger ($11) competes
with local top-end burgers. The
meat was a house-ground blend
of dry aged short rib, brisket and
sirloin. It gave the burger texture and personality. Choosing a
house-made brioche bun, I happily paid an extra dollar each for
grilled onions and Vermont cheddar cheese. Fabulous hamburger
with the same addictive fries.
Of the entrees, “breakfast for
dinner” ($15), was fork-tender
smoked pork belly, topped with

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, with eye-for-an-eye
fervor, The East commits acts of ecoterrorism 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 and
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,
some disturbing images, sexual content
and partial nudity. One hour, 56 minutes. — P.C.
THE INTERNSHIP --
Google goes Hollywood in “The Internship,” an intermittently amusing but
mostly strained feature-length commercial for the technology giant that
reteams “Wedding Crashers” stars
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. They
play laid-off watch salesmen who shoot
the moon by applying for an internship
at Google, despite their lack of knowledge about technology. Naturally,
Google accepts the pair, charitably
overlooking that these fools qualify as
college students only by a hasty enrollment in the online University of Phoenix. Although 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 study 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 mostly shot on replica sets
at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
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 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.
