In an email, El Camino spokeswoman Chris Ernst wrote that the hospital received a decertification petition on Oct. 7, with "signatures of more than 30 percent of SEIU-represented employees, indicating that the union has lost the support of the employees and they no longer desire to be represented by SEIU." Ernst said that the signatures on the petition have been independently verified by an outside party. The petition has been a long time coming according to two of the men who signed the document. "What am I getting for my money?" asked Robert De Salvo. "I'm getting absolutely zero." De Salvo said he has been with the hospital for 25 years -- long before the union "forced" its way in about 10 years ago. Not much See UNION, page 13 s Google gobbles up the city's commercial real estate, dozens of Mountain View businesses and nonprofits are finding that Google is their new landlord. Even Mountain View's cable access television station has not escaped Google's grasp. In its biggest property-buying spree in recent memory, Google has spent over $225 million on 15 properties this year, including 11 properties in the North Bayshore area near its headquarters. Google's acquisition of KMVT Community Television's building at 1400 Terra Bella Avenue was among three properties Google purchased this year on the lightly trafficked commercial street just south of Highway 101, a quick jaunt down Shoreline Boulevard from Google headquarters. Fortunately for KMVT, it appears the station can stay, for now. Google has "assured us that our lease will continue to move forward," said Shelley Wolfe, executive director of KMVT, which is located at the corner of Terra Bella and Middlefield Road. "We're looking forward to seeing how Google will work with us to ensure the security of the local community access station for the public. We are a highly utilized resource for the community." While Google has acquired properties this year to accommodate its growth in the city, a spokesperson said Google had no changes to announce for the KMVT building, or the other Terra Bella Avenue properties the company purchased this year -- 1255 and 1330 Terra Bella Avenue -- which are occupied mostly by A small tech companies. Google has been known to purchase properties and sit on them for years, including the 2008 purchase of the building that houses the Pear Avenue Theater, a small theater company near Google headquarters which has so far not been forced to leave. V Google pays $100 million for offices By Daniel DeBolt f Google is aiming to use every property in North Bayshore it added a huge piece to the puzzle last week, paying $100 million to buy a campus across the street from its main headquarters. With the purchase of the 240,000-square-foot so-called "Landmark at Shoreline" campus, Google's footprint in North Bayshore is even more staggering. Google has quietly purchased 15 properties in Mountain View this year, mostly around its headquarters, and appears to be buying almost every piece of property in the area that comes up for sale. Google now appears to own or lease more than three quarters of North Bayshore and all of the area's larger and more modern office complexes except for that of Microsoft, which has recently decided to expand into Sunnyvale.

In early October, the Mountain View Market at 340 Castro Street was purchased by Sunnyvale residents Juan and Ann Origel, who want to transform the struggling Asian market into a popular neighborhood grocery store. While working in beverage sales over the years, Juan noticed in his calls to the market that, while once one of the busiest on the Peninsula, it was struggling to compete with the new Ranch 99 on Grant Road. The owners were motivated to sell, and the Origels, who have worked in food retail most of their adult lives, mortgaged their house to buy it. It seemed like a fitting move for the couple, who met while working at Mountain View's Lucky's and were engaged at downtown's Eagle Park. "It's really kind of providential and very much a win-win situation," said downtown resident Max Hauser, who wrote an article about the new owners for the Old Mountain View neighborhood Association. OMVNA members have been actively seeking a "neighborhood serving" grocery store downtown for years. After talking to them, "I think the Origels have exactly the right idea," Hauser said. The Origels say they aim to keep existing customers with an Asian food section, but most of the market will receive a remodel more in line with a neighborhood grocer, perhaps a Whole Foods or Trader Joes meets JJ&F or Zanottos. They say they definitely want a deli to bring in lunchtime customers, and tables and chairs by the front window where people can eat. The Origels say they want suggestions for the store, which can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. MICHELLE LE Juan Origel, left, the new owner of Mountain View Market, works with employee Cheun Friday, Oct. 21. "Something really striking about the Origels is they say `We have some general ideas but we want to know what the neighborhood wants,'" Hauser said. "With this kind of openness, in this kind of community, it seems to me that Old Mountain View could See NEW GROCER, page 14 Hubbub over fate of Bubb's Elementary's `peace tree' By Nick Veronin MV Reads Together goes green By Daniel DeBolt group of students at Bubb Elementary are gathering signatures from their classmates, parents and teachers in order to petition the administration not to remove a piece of school history. In order to make way for a new shade structure in the school's outdoor lunch area, the school may need to remove the "peace tree." The tree, which was plant- A ed by students in 1994, is the only reminder of a larger greenthumbed project, the "peace garden," according to Mary Dietrich, principal of Bubb. The tree may need to be removed in order to make way for a canopy, which parents have asked the school to build to provide shade for the children while they eat lunch at the outdoor tables. "It gets hot at the tables," Dietrich said, explaining that parents became concerned about sun safety. The canopy will also work to shield the children from bird droppings. David Franklin, a teacher at Bubb, addressed the Mountain View Whisman School District's board of trustees at their public meeting earlier this month, requesting that the board do something to ensure the tree is not removed. The district's superintendent, See PEACE TREE, page 9 MV Whisman debates roll-out of `transitional kindergarten' By Nick Veronin ducation officials with the Mountain View Whisman School District are debating how to best introduce a "transitional kindergarten" program beginning next year. State law requires all California public elementary schools to install a program for children who are too young to enroll in regular kindergarten. While the superintendent of the district is recommending the program be unrolled gradually E -- slowly opening it to a broader age range over the course of three years -- at least one district parent said she and her husband would like to see transitional kindergarten introduced all at once. "I would certainly like to see it started for the upcoming school year," said Sarah Donohue, whose son, Robert, will turn 5 on Oct. 26 next year. If the school district were to introduce the whole program at once in the 2011-12 year, Robert will be eligible for the new program. If, however, the board of trustees takes the superintendent's recommendation, Donohue will not be able to register her son for transitional kindergarten, as his birthday will fall one week before the Nov. 2 cutoff date. Transitional kindergarten is described by the California Department of Education as "the first year of a two-year kindergarten program that uses a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate." See KINDERGARTEN, page 9 ountain View Reads Together is going all out this year. Not only are participants asked to read Bill McKibben's book, "Earth," but to also attend numerous November events, including a tour of Google's greenness, an event about urbanites raising bees and chickens, and a talk by a Buddhist nun about the spirituality of being green. Former Environmental Sustainability Task Force Chair Bruce Karney is helping to organize 11 free events throughout November, with a discussion of McKibben's book set for Nov. 21. "We may have a few more events this year than previously, but the environment is such a broad topic that it lends itself to more activities," said Karney, who is organizing the events with Sharlene Gee, Andrea Gorman, Jamil Shaikh and librarian Candace Powers. Some of the more notable events include a yet-to-be-scheduled "behind the scenes" look at Google's efforts to have the smallest impact on the environment possible, both in Mountain View and around the world. There will also be a Nov. 13 visit to a M downtown home where chickens are being raised, a Nov. 10 talk by local chefs Laura Stec and Dr. Eugene Cordero about their book "Cool Cuisine: Taking The Bite Out Of Global Warming" and a Nov. 12 gathering of local electric vehicle owners who will speak about their experiences and show off their rides. On Nov. 19 there will be a live presentation of "An Inconvenient Truth" by someone trained by Al Gore, with information on global warming updated since Gore's movie version was made. There will also be a showing of "No Impact Man: the Movie," which is about a family that tries to live for a year without impacting the environment, on Nov. 17. Wrapping up the series of events is a talk by Sister Santussika, "a former software designer and engineer who is now a 10-precept Theravadan Buddhist nun" who is slated to talk about the spirituality and morality behind environmentalism. On Nov. 3 there will be a tour of the SMaRT station in Sunnyvale, where Mountain View's trash is recycled, and on Nov. 19 a discussion at the library about alternatives to water-thirsty lawns.

The 18-acre campus on Landings Drive is occupied by several companies, including a portion of Toyota North America and is across Charleston Road from Google's main buildings at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway. It could hold 960 workers. A Google spokesperson could not say when Google would make use of the buildings. "As we continue to hire it's important to find space for our new employees," said David Radcliffe, vice president of real estate and workplace services for Google in a statement. "The Landmark is strategically situated adjacent to our offices and we look forward to incorporating it into our campus."

The program supports first-generation college-bound students. Ivan worked hard to be a strong candidate for top colleges, taking four advanced placement classes, earning a 3.4 grade point average and serving as treasurer and then vice president of the Latino Movement Club. He also volunteered at his church. Ivan secured an acceptance letter from St. Mary's, his first choice college. There was just one problem -- the financial aid package the school offered required a larger family contribution than his family could afford, even after taking into account private scholarships he had already won. Ivan didn't want to give up on his dream of attending a four-year college, so he took a risk, enrolled at St. Mary's, and kept looking for more funding. He secured several private scholarships but still started the school year facing a monthly payment plan that would be a real stretch for his family. That's when Ivan learned about iPivoted. org, which just went live in August. (Full disclosure: I am the executive director of the Burwen Education Foundation, which has granted a scholarship to Ivan.) iPivoted allows college students affiliated with various mentoring organizations to post profiles online to seek additional financing for their education from individual donors. Students can ask for whatever amount they need, but with a catch -- current iPivoted policy only allows students to receive funding once donors have contributed 100 percent of their fund- raising target. When the goal is reached, a check is sent directly to the student's school. If the goal is not reached by the time the student's profile expires (either six months after it is posted or on a date of the student's choice), any money that has been pledged reverts to the donors. "This policy is designed to encourage students to really consider their budgets and only ask for the amount of money that is truly essential," iPivoted founder Ben Steinberg explains. The first student to achieve full funding had a very modest goal of $205, while other students are asking for $5,000 or more. Steinberg says iPivoted aims to address the fact that even with unemployment at 9 percent, there are two million vacant high-skill jobs in the United States because there aren't two million people with the degrees and skills needed to fill those jobs. While iPivoted presently focuses on helping students bridge their financial aid gaps, "the real mission of iPivoted is to allow each individual person to realize his or her full potential," Steinberg says. Eventually, iPivoted hopes to link the students profiled on its site to job opportunities and other resources. In the first week that Ivan's profile has been on the website, it has not attracted any donors, but Ivan remains optimistic. "I love it here at St. Mary's, and I am confident that I will find a way to keep funding my education, no matter what it takes," he says. To view Ivan's profile, go to ipivoted.org and search the student list for Ivan R., "future forensic scientist."

PEACE TREE Continued from page 5 Craig Goldman, said it was up to the school to decide what it would do with the tree. According to Dietrich, even while she is set on installing the shade structure, the tree may end up staying. The school is looking at all its options and has even enlisted some of the students in the process -- asking them to help come up with solutions that would allow the tree to remain, while at the same time accommodating the shade structure. "I think the best thing about this whole issue is that the kids are getting involved and figuring out how to solve a problem," she said. "It's just a great lesson for them." V According to Mary Lairon, assistant superintendent of Mountain View Whisman, transitional kindergarten is aimed at better serving children born later in the year. Because of their early birthdays, under the current system these children begin kindergarten at a very young age. Many of these children -- especially boys -- lack the social skills needed to fully participate in a standard kindergarten classroom curriculum, she said. "I think it has incredible benefits," Lairon said of transitional kindergarten. Children who enter kindergarten before they are ready may have trouble adjusting and risk falling behind. Transitional kindergarten programs allow for a smoother transition from preschool or home into the elementary school setting. Last year, in an effort to address the issue of children entering kindergarten too early, California passed Senate Bill 1381, also known as the Kindergarten Readiness Act. The act will eventually move the kindergarten enrollment cut off date up from Dec. 2 to Sept. 1, and require all elementary schools in the state to make transitional kindergarten available to all students born between Sept. 2 and Dec. 2. Next school year, the cutoff date will move up to Nov. 1. The following year, the cutoff date will move up once more -- to Oct. 1. And finally, in the 2014-15 school year, the cutoff date will move up one last time to Sept. 1, where it will remain indefinitely. Each year the cutoff date moves forward, the eligible age for transitional kindergarten enrollment widens. Despite her support for the concept of transitional kindergarten, Lairon recommended that the district ease into the program, noting that the state has given schools flexibility for a reason and that Mountain View Whisman should take advantage of that flexibility. "Whenever you do something for the first time, it is easier to do it with a smaller group," Lairon said. "It gives us a chance to iron out the kinks."

"That's why so many people come from everywhere to check it out." The display draws such a crowd that the city has to grant Ross a permit so the street in front of his house can be closed for the event. This year Ross decided not to have a walk-though portion, as the line was getting too long. But he's added a new prop, a coffin that opens with a skeleton rigged to jump out. Relentless improvement and attention to detail is why Ross won the 2007 Fearnet.com's competition for best "home haunt," and a $50,000 check presented to him on NBC's Today Show. Uniquely, the DC Cemetery uses "MIDI" technology that's commonly used in music recording to run the various characters. "We can actually play each character like they were an instrument," said Frerichs, an engineer and an executive in the music industry. Every year, the show is created by someone playing a keyboard to ensure that every movement is "organic," Frerichs said. Last year Ross took a break to spend some time with his wife and their newborn daughter. He's starting to feel the financial pinch of the whole thing, which costs as much as $10,000 a year to put on, including $5,000 just Below: Brent Ross and his father Mike work on the DC Cemetery haunted house on Oct. 21.

A lifetime resident of Mountain View and Los Altos, Navarro graduated from Mountain View High School in 1965. He gave his first haircuts in the garage of his parents' house, then worked at the Palm Plaza barber shop. He put his career on hold when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. After serving in the First Cavalry Division in Vietnam, he returned home and resumed work as a barber, moving to Modern Barber Shop, where he eventually became the owner. His family remembers him as true people person with an infectious laugh, and he earned the nickname "the mayor of Mountain View" among Castro Street regulars. When clients needing haircuts were sick or in the hospital, Navarro made house calls, his family said. Navarro's community involvement included the Art & Wine Festival, the Eagles Golf Tournament and the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce. He sponsored Little League and Babe Ruth baseball teams, became involved in coaching and served on the Babe Ruth League's board. He loved sports, and participated in multiple fantasy leagues, always under the team name "Geniuses." He is survived by his wife, Mac; son Shaun; brothers Michael and Tym and sisters Vickie Navarro and Sybil Duby. Services were held at Cusimano Family Colonial Mortuary in Mountain View, with interment at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Los Altos. 12 MOUNTAIN VIEW VOICE OCTOBER 28, 2011 Continued from page 1 UNION has changed since then, he said, adding that, as far as he can tell, the only thing the union is interested in is collecting dues. According to decertification supporter and eight-year El Camino veteran Paul Williams, now that the petition has demonstrated substantial employee discontent with the union, a vote will be taken in the coming weeks to determine whether the SEIU will stay or go -- that is, if the SEIU doesn't succeed in blocking the action. The legitimacy of the move has been challenged by SEIU officials and members. Lilly Vallee, a director with the hospital division of the SEIU, said El Camino Hospital has yet to provide sufficient documentation proving that a third party verified the signatures. SEIU lawyer Bruce A. Harland is taking issue with the language of the petition -- claiming in a request for injunctive relief with the Public Employment Relations Board of California that the language of the petition was vague and that hospital managers instructed subordinates to sign the petition. "Once all legal objections, which we believe are significant, are resolved, and once a third party has verified the threshold has been met, we have no problem with a democratic election," Vallee said. "In this case we do not believe the rules have been followed." One member of the SEIU, Kary Lynch, hinted at suspicions that the hospital may secretly be backing the petition. It was "too much of a coincidence" that the petition would come so soon after the hospital and the SEIU reached an impasse in contract negotiations, Lynch said at a recent El Camino board meeting. The hospital made its "last, best and final offer" to the union just one day before announcing its receipt of the petition. A poster emblazoned with Lynch's face and the headline "Something stinks at El Camino Hospital" has been posted on bulletin boards around the hospital. Below the headline, a chronology of the hospital's final offer and announcement of the petition are given before "Just a coincidence? Not likely." The poster includes an excerpt of the speech he delivered at the October board meeting. "Management will do just about anything to get rid of our union, because they know it's the only thing that stands between them and the cuts they want to make to our benefits and wages," June 28 when the SEIU narrowly voted to become a "closed shop" -- meaning that anyone hired at the hospital that is not a doctor, a nurse or an administrator must join the union and pay dues. About 600 members voted; the measure passed by fewer than 20 votes. "The middle of the summer is the slowest time for the hospital," Williams said, adding that it is his belief the union intentionally picked a day it knew few people, other than the hardcore union supporters, were likely to show up. Lynch, a union steward who has worked at the hospital for 30 years, `I just feel people should have a choice, that's all.' EL CAMINO EMPLOYEE PAUL WILLIAMS Lynch said. Ernst has denied that any administrators pushed the petition in any way. The poster with Lynch's face reminds Williams of all the reasons he signed the decertification petition in the first place. "Very classy," he sarcastically wrote in the email containing an image of the flyer. "This is what we are used to here." Williams said that the SEIU has created a "divisive" atmosphere at the hospital -- seeking to inspire an "us versus them" attitude at every turn. The union aims to keep its members fearful of the hospital administration, so they will remain loyal and pay their dues on time. By way of example, he pointed to an SEIU-UHW poster, which reads, "Voting `No Union' means: ... Management can fire or lay us off at any time for any reason." Such statements irk Williams. "Obviously that's not true," he said, incredulously. "You can't be laid off for any old reason." While all of these things have bothered Williams for some time, he said the final straw came on said that before the union was at El Camino it was possible that some might be fired based upon unsubstantiated claims. As a steward, Lynch said he has personally seen managers bring charges against an employee that were unfounded and has defended the employee. "Because that process exists, that person still has a job," he said. It is because of services such as these that Lynch believes the union is important. "We don't view ourselves as a dues-collection agency," he said. "We represent the employees of the hospital." Lynch stands by the statement he made at the hospital's board meeting and remains convinced that the petition for decertification is part of a concerted effort by hospital administration to thwart the union. Both Williams and De Salvo, however, insist that the hospital administration had nothing to do with the petition, which Williams said was started by hospital employee Ted Prario and signed by more than 500 people (an exact number could not be confirmed before press time). Like Lynch -- who is currently advocating an initiative that would place a legislative cap on managerial salaries at the hospital -- Williams and De Salvo are upset by what they feel are exorbitant salaries paid to El Camino administrators. Yet when De Salvo hears the union talking about how much the hospital's CEO makes and comparing it to his salary, he feels the same way Williams does when he looks at the "Something stinks" poster. "What they're trying to do is drive a wedge between `us and them,'" De Salvo said. "Look what these guys are getting, and look what you're getting. This is good PR. That's all it is." Vallee said that she has heard complaints such as those voiced by Williams and De Salvo before. However, she maintains that her union does provide a valuable service to its members. She acknowledged that vote for the closed shop -- or, as she calls it "agency shop" -- was close. "Fundamentally, union members at El Camino Hospital want to continue to have a voice in their working conditions and have a competitive standard of living," she said. Without SEIU representation, she said, the hospital would work to strip workers of their voice, pay them less and systematically reduce their benefits. Neither Williams nor De Salvo think of themselves as "union members." They are simply El Camino employees, they said. If they had their druthers they wouldn't be in a union at all, and certainly not one like the SEIU, which is governed by a national organization, they said. Both men said that if there were to be a union at El Camino it should be one that was formed and controlled by the employees of the hospital, and, above all, that the employees should have a say as to whether they are involved or not. "I just feel people should have a choice, that's all," Williams said. "People should have free will, but we don't have that right now." V COMMUNITY BRIEFS BENEFIT DINNER FOR ROTACARE CLINIC Local Rotary Clubs are hosting a fundraising dinner and auction to benefit the RotaCare Free Clinic from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 2, at the historic Del Monte Building, 100 S. Murphy Ave. in Sunnyvale. The RotaCare Clinics provide medical care for needy, uninsured residents at 11 free health clinics in the Bay Area. Last year, 26,000 people received services at RotaCare. Medical professionals, many of whom are Rotarians, volunteer their services at the RotaCare Clinic. The clinic focuses on serving children who would not otherwise have medical care. Since 2004, five Rotary Clubs have joined forces to organize the Asante fundraiser for RotaCare. Last year, the Rotary Clubs raised $25,000 for the Mountain View RotaCare Clinic based in the Camino Medical Group clinic in the El Camino YMCA on Grant Road. Charlie Wesser, one of the Rotarian organizers, says Rotary Club members are working hard to surpass last year's figure. All proceeds go toward providing health care to local working poor at the Mountain View clinic. Members from the Rotary Clubs of Sunnyvale, Los Altos, Mountain View, Cupertino, Sunnyvale and Palo Alto University will be attending the event. The fundraiser includes a raffle, silent auction and live auction for tickets to concerts, sporting events, and vacationhome getaways. Tickets for the evening, which includes dinner and wine, cost $50. To purchase, contact Charlie Wasser at email@example.com or 408-366-2420 or Tracie Murray at firstname.lastname@example.com or 408621-0609. --Anna Li Follow us on Twitter twitter.com/mvvoice OCTOBER 28, 2011 MOUNTAIN VIEW VOICE 13 NEW GROCER Continued from page 5 get an even better match than if a major supermarket had decided to open up in the Bryant garage." Residents of downtown, also known as the Old Mountain View Neighborhood, made it evident how serious they were about a new grocery store downtown in 2005. They staged a candlelight vigil when the City Council chose Longs Drugs over a grocery store proposal from Zanottos as the tenant of the new garage at California and Bryant. The San Jose-based grocer would have required a subsidy from the city. Many of the downtown's environmentally minded residents see a new downtown grocery store as a necessity to reduce car trips out of the city's center. Julie Lovins, a downtown resident who has spearheaded the hunt for a new grocery store, told the City Council in 2010, "We cannot afford not to have a reasonably full-service grocery store downtown." `Won't happen overnight' With the market losing money since the day they bought it, the Origels are working as fast as they can to turn it around. Some visible changes are that the Origels have begun selling pumpkins and have put in a new selection of wine and beer, while combing through the existing inventory to remove items that haven't been selling. "We're going to be having a fire sale here soon," Juan said. They are going to be replacing the open refrigeration in the store soon, which will hopefully warm up the store's chilly temperature. They are also hoping to receive some money from the city's program to improve building facades downtown. But the Origels hope the neighborhood will be patient as the process "won't happen overnight," Ann said. "The place seems to be a little different each time I visit," Hauser said. "Rome wasn't built in a day." Change in plans for city? Bringing a grocery store downtown has long been a goal for the City Council, which requested proposals from developers in 2009 for a new grocery store on a city-owned parking lot across from the garage at Bryant and California streets. The council rejected two proposals in January of 2010, again saying the proposals required too much of a subsidy. Economic development man- MICHELLE LE Juan and Ann Origel, the new owners of Mountain View Market. ager Ellis Berns said the new store is potentially viable according to a downtown grocery store feasibility study that will be presented on Nov. 8 to the City Council. The study of the Bryant Street property "came to the conclusion that it is a very difficult site to have a full service grocery store," Berns said. "It could probably support more of a 3,000- to 10,000-squarefoot market that has a very strong deli-carryout" operation. The Mountain View market, which is right around 10,000 square feet, could potentially be successful depending on what the owners decide to do with it, Berns said. "If the new owners are able to fulfill the needs of the community and the neighborhood that's great," said council member Margaret Abe-Koga, who lives near the market. "We still have that property on Bryant though. We have to bring that back (onto the council agenda) to decide what we want to do with that." The new store may be most likely have the support of the two libertarians on the council, Tom Means and John Inks. "This is great," said Means in an email. "I like how people are solving this problem and not special interest groups." The downtown neighborhood has not been shy about making suggestions on the OMVNA email list, from wanting to keep the Asian mangoes to a desire for "fresh loaf of crusty bread." Abe-Koga said the former market has some good products too. It could be "the best of the old and the new." She added that "prepackaged meals" and salad and soup bar would be great idea. The Origels say the community has "set the bar pretty high" for the store, but Hauser reminded its potential customers that they have a role to play too. "If the neighborhood wants a good grocery store they have to put their money where their mouth is," Hauser said. "If they want a certain kind of grocery store the most concrete way they can support it is to go and shop there."

MAIL to: Editor Mountain View Voice, P.O. Box 405 Mountain View, CA 94042-0405 CALL the Viewpoint desk at 964-6300 16 irst, we want to congratulate Human Relations Commissioner Ken Rosenberg for organizing the first of several "civility roundtable" discussions at the Senior Center. The first one last week focused on corporate responsibility and included John Igoe, Google's director of real estate. The advertised goal of the meeting was to show "that we can disagree but we don't have to be disagreeable." Other participants included elementary school board member Steve Olsen, public affairs manager for Sutter Health Cynthia Greaves, Meyer Appliance owner Rick Meyer and local businessman Jack Perkins and an audience of about 50. Chris Block, CEO of the American Leadership Forum-Silicon Valley, moderated the roundtable. Google's agreement to participate in the event was no small feat, given that the company rarely takes part in such open and public discussions. Although Igoe was very forthcoming in his belief that Google is more than willing to do its share, there was no agreement on any concrete objectives for the company to offer more of its financial and other resources to the community. The company already provides free Wi-Fi service in the downtown area, donated $1 million to the city's schools and provided a high-tech bookmobile for the library. And there have been other, more modest offers of assistance from Google over the roughly 10 years the company has made its headquarters in Mountain View. Google's current employee count is not made available to the public, but the company probably occupies more than half of all the office space in the Bayshore area, and just last week firmed up a deal to pay $100 million to buy a campus that could hold 960 workers across the street from its main headquarters. This purchase of the 240,000-square-foot "Landmark at Shoreline" campus makes Google's footprint in North Bayshore even more imposing. The company appears to own or lease well over half of the city's large office buildings north of Highway 101, and all but a few of the large office buildings between Shoreline Boulevard and Garcia Avenue. And through its leases of city-owned Bayshore property, Google provides several million dollars a year to the city, and pays a hefty amount of property tax on many other properties. And the company's corporate jet fleet is housed at Moffett Field, for which Google pays more than $1 million a year. Also, the company is planning to build 1.2 million square feet of new office space at Moffett, which will complement NASA's effort to develop a high-tech center on the property. Certainly, when a company as large and as profitable as Google has such an overwhelming presence in a community this size, some residents would like to see more initiatives coming from company headquarters. There is much that could be done, including more involvement with local nonprofit groups who are dealing with the less fortunate residents of Mountain View. The good news for local leaders was Igoe's declaration that the corporation "can be a citizen," and that "more and more (its leaders) realize that they have a responsibility to the community." Google appears firmly committed to making its permanent home in Mountain View and during its current growth spurt has virtually locked up nearly every available square foot of office space throughout the city. But given its size and resources, it is time for Google to step up its involvement in the local community. Participation would not necessarily have to involve money. Its employees could be dispatched to help with public service projects, either with hands-on labor or technical support. Google has thousands of talented workers who could make significant contributions to local institutions. At this point, the city may be too shy to suggest what is needed, but there is certainly no harm in trying. A few weeks ago the students and families of Bayer Ballet Academy welcomed Gennadi Nedvigin, principal dancer of the San Francisco Ballet since 2000, to its studios in Mountain View. The occasion was a part of the school's "Meet the Stars" series. Previous stars featured include Prima Ballerina Maria Kochetkova. Gennadi began his introduction with select excerpts from his dance career that included rare footage from his childhood. He shared his memories of growing up in Russia, his training at the Bolshoi Ballet School in Moscow, horizon-expanding touring trips outside of Russia and professional company experiences in Moscow and Paris, all of which helped pave the way for his joining and succeeding at the SFB. The highlight of the fireside chat-style event was the Q & A session. Here are excerpts from the discussion: Q. What was the extent of your family influence in shaping your career in ballet? A. I've always had a very close relationship with my older brother who started ballet training at a young age. I basically followed his footsteps. Like many Russian mothers, our mother always dreamed of becoming a ballerina and encouraged us to pursue ballet. We took gymnastics and then gravitated more and more toward ballet. Q. What was it like to begin training at the Bolshoi when you were only 10? A. I missed home. A lot. But then I got used to it. All the students did. The teachers and other students all formed a community. The teachers were super strict. We worked very hard. In addition to technique classes, we were required to take classes in areas that complemented classical ballet such as music appreciation. We also had to take academic classes. I really treasure my years of training at the Bolshoi. The rigorous training equipped me with the skills to adapt to the different ballet styles of worldrenowned choreographers at different companies later on.

Ann Schneider Lemon Tree Court MOUNTAIN VIEW VOICE OCTOBER 28, 2011 VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY OP-ED PINEWOOD Open House November 5, 2011 10am �12pm Lower Campus � Lower cancer risk, even with dense breasts By Dr. Jessie Jacob Upper Campus & SCHOOL Experience the Difference Founded in 1959, Pinewood is an independent, Lower Campus outine mammography has played a major role during a 20-year period of declining deaths from breast cancer. Nevertheless, 40,000 women will die from breast cancer this year -- a disproportionate number of them women with dense breast tissue. In some cases, more information might have saved their lives. Dense breasts are composed of less fat and more glandular tissue, which appears white on a mammogram. Unfortunately, so does cancer, so tumors can often be hidden behind the dense tissue on Dr. Jessie Jacob an ordinary mammogram. Although ordinary mammograms pick up 98 percent of tumors in women with fatty breast tissue, they identify only 48 percent of tumors in women with extremely dense breasts. Additionally, studies have found that having dense tissue itself poses a higher risk -- nearly four times that of less dense tissue. Given such a significant additional risk, women need to be told whether they have dense breasts, in order to make more informed decisions. But in many cases, they don't receive this important information. Knowledge provides women with more options such as additional screening. Digital mammography is more accurate than film mammography in dense breasts and mammography and ultrasound used together bring detection up to 97 percent. Breast MRI (best for high-risk women) approaches 100 percent. Women who know they are at greater risk also may opt for lifestyle changes to help lower their breast cancer risk. Studies suggest that exercise, maintaining a healthy body weight, lowering alcohol intake and a diet low in fats and high in fiber all may reduce risk. R Notifying women wouldn't require extraordinary effort, either. Physicians already have the information in their files along with patients' mammogram results. Since we tell women when their family history implies greater risk, or when they have a genetic susceptibility or high-risk lesion that could increase their risk, doesn't it make sense to inform them of this additional risk factor? Without a doubt, giving women this information would result in more tests; 93 percent of women in an August 2011 survey of 1,000 women age 40 to 64 said they would elect to EL CAMINO HOSPITAL have an additional screening test -- even if it resulted in a false positive that required a biopsy to rule out cancer. But if mammography often misses finding cancers in dense breasts and you're more likely to have cancer because of dense breasts, choosing additional screening appears to be a rational choice. Whether insurance covers the cost or not, physicians should allow women the right to make their own choices. Some states already have passed laws requiring physicians to inform their patients, but a recent bill passed in the California state Assembly was vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown. Let's not let that stand in the way of empowering women with the information they need. It's our job as physicians to educate our patients, and to support their right to get the information they need to make informed decisions about their health. It is not our job to make those choices for them by denying them access to important information about their risks. Dr. Jessie Jacob, director of breast imaging and intervention at El Camino Hospital, is a fellowship-trained, board-certified radiologist.

Q. When you were a young dancer in training, who inspired you the most? A. Baryshnikov was my idol for a long time. As I gained more experience, my appreciation for Nureyev grew. Q. What do you see yourself doing after you retire from performing? A. I think I would enjoy teaching very much. One of the things I really enjoy is helping the younger SFB dancers whenever I can. I don't like for all the attention to be on the principals and soloists -- the corps de ballet makes us look good in any ballet performance. It's a whole package. We must strive to enable everyone in the company to excel and shine. Only then do we all shine, even brighter, on stage. Q. What words of wisdom would you like to impart to the young students here tonight? A. Pay attention to your teachers. But don't be shackled by all the strict rules. Listen to your own heart. If you dance with your heart, you will enjoy it. If you enjoy it, everything will be great. After Gennadi's talk, eager stu- dents surrounded him to ask more questions. Among these was Jordan Lian, whom Inna Bayer (founder and artistic director of the BBA) introduced as an outstanding student who, after attending the Bolshoi Ballet School's 2011 summer program in New York City, accepted the school's invitation to study year-round in Moscow beginning this fall. "We are so proud of Jordan and her accomplishments. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with such a talented, focused, and motivated student. We are gratified to see her rigorous training bear fruit," Bayer said. Oriana Li Halevy's daughter is a student at the academy.

Sturges and Stanford classmate Jennifer Lopez turned a graduate thesis project into a business with A a social mission: connecting lowerincome immigrant women who are skilled in cooking authentic, ethnic cuisines with food lovers who want to learn the culinary arts. Their fledgling business, Culture Kitchen, was part of angel investor Dave McClure's 500 Startups Accelerator program in Mountain View this summer. Culture Kitchen serves up cooking classes with a side order of cultural exchange. Women who have a passion for food, its history and culture teach their family recipes and traditions at Deborah's Palm and Lucie Stern Community Center in Palo Alto, at Whole Foods Market in Los Altos and in San Francisco.

OCTOBER 28, 2011 MOUNTAIN VIEW VOICE 19 Continued from previous page 60s, but all bring generations of cooking experience, Sturges said. Linh, a Vietnamese immigrant, grew up "with an army of aunts" who instilled in her traditional Vietnamese cooking skills, Sturges said. And Letty, an immigrant from Colombia, learned to cook and love vegetables as a child from a cookbook written by her mother, "Chupa los dedos comiendo verduras (Lick your fingertips eating vegetables)." Some of the women, such as India-born Aradhita, formerly catered for friends, but they aren't professional chefs, Sturges said. "We look for women who are really passionate about their cooking and the history behind it. The women wanted people to learn about their culture. Most people don't really have an opportunity to learn that." Sturges also thinks the Culture Kitchen fills a craving for her American students. "You're learning to cook from the grandmas you've always wished you had," she said. The idea for Culture Kitchen came during a spring-break din- ner Sturges and Lopez shared. The women were back from an overseas program on "entrepreneurial design for extreme affordability," she said. Sturges worked on a sanitation project in Kenya; Lopez was in Myanmar developing a marketing project for treadle pumps -- an inexpensive device for pumping water. Although continents apart, they discovered a common experience: "The most interesting part of the trip was when we went into the homes of people in their villages. We were able to bond with people of very different cultures over food," said Sturges, who graduated this summer with a master's degree of fine arts in design. Back in the United States, Sturges and Lopez interviewed immigrant women about the role food played in their lives. "I want people to know that Muslims are good," Sturges recalled that an Iraqi woman said when asked why she wanted to teach a cooking class. Lihn's parents come from the north and south of Vietnam, which have very different culinary traditions. In the north they use utensils, but in the south they eat with their hands, Sturges said. When the family gathers, there are cooks from the north, south and central part of the country, all with their own distinct ways of doing things. "My mom would marvel at how my dad would add boiled green onions instead of fresh bean sprouts and basil to his pho, and my dad would be almost offended at my mom's use of sugar in her stews," Lihn wrote on Culture Kitchen's website blog. "Whenever Auntie No. 5 from Hue (southerners and centralers don't use names, just their rank) would walk by a dipping sauce or a pot, she would surely add a couple more spoonfuls of chili paste or one or two extra peppers." But despite the culinary differences, everyone had a great time and got along, she added. It's stories such as these that enrich the Culture Kitchen experience, Sturges said. "People are able to relate to the stories these women share. It's a much more personal way to learn about those Above: Culture Kitchen students watch as Baraka Abealhadi demonstrates how to cook Iraqi food on Oct. 15 in Los Altos.

Culture Kitchen also empowers the chefs by providing income, opportunities to share their cultures and to connect to their adopted country through a shared love of food, she said. Afterwards chef and students share a meal. During a recent class on Indian cooking, the students, all of whom had traveled to India, shared their experiences, Sturges said. Aradhita will teach a class on a special-occasion Indian feast at Deborah's Palm, 555 Lytton Ave., Palo Alto, at 6:15 p.m. on Nov. 2. and Yulie will teach Taiwanese cooking at Whole Foods Market at 4800 El Camino Real in Los Altos at 6:15 p.m. on Nov. 9. Sturges said she takes one trip each year to another country and bases it around food. But she didn't have to go far to find a meaningful connection.

Like his creator, 27-year-old character Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) discovers he's developed a spinal cancer. He begins as an overly cautious individual, but as his illusions of order crumble, he allows himself to indulge his emotions and cross behavioral boundaries. Gordon-Levitt excels, partly as an amusingly deadpan straight man to Seth Rogen (playing a version of himself as Adam's best bud) and Anjelica Huston (lovable as Adam's demonstrative mother), but more importantly as an Everyman navigating his mortality. "50/50" proves winningly humane as a carpe diem comedy designed to remind us, gently, that what matters most is being true to one another and ourselves.

Seems fight-hungry citizens have tired of watching people beat each other up (weak humans) and prefer to see sophisticated and expensive robots pound each other into scrap metal. One of the most notable robot-boxing trainers (i.e., the guy who works the remote control) is washed-up fighter Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman). Charlie is down on his luck when he gets word that the mother of his estranged young son (Dakota Goyo) has died, leaving Max without a guardian. Max's aunt Debra (Hope Davis) and her hubby Marvin (James Redhorn) are eager for custody, but the unscrupulous Charlie sees an opportunity to make a quick buck. Charlie enlists the help of his longtime friend and former lover Bailey (Evangeline Lilly) and plans to hit the robot-boxing circuit with Max in tow.
