Foothill College will offer an advanced math class that parents and students have been fighting for at the Palo Alto Unified School District, Principal Brent Kline announced yesterday. Multivariable Calculus will be offered on Palo Alto High School’s campus during the regular school day starting in the fall, Kline said.
“We recognize this is an exciting opportunity for our students to accelerate their math learning,” Kline said in an update to students yesterday.
Kline asked students to fill out a form if they’re interested in Multivariable Calculus and said seniors will get priority if the class fills up.
Gunn High School Principal Wen-
dy Stratton confirmed yesterday her school will have the same offering.
The debate over Multivariable Calculus has been long and contentious, pitting advanced math advocates against those who are worried about adding pressure on students.
It’s an issue in the upcoming school board race. Candidates Avery Wang
and John Craig have pushed for the course while Linda Henigin has said general education classrooms should be the “default placement” for all students.
The controversy goes back to March 2023 when former Superintendent Don Austin said a teacher credentialing issue forced the district to stop offering Multivariable Calculus on campus

Parents upset by the Sequoia Union High School board’s vote to close the small magnet school TIDE Academy in Menlo Park say they plan to try to recall three board members.
The parents, who are part of a group called TIDE Rising, plan to serve recall petitions during tonight’s board meeting to trustees Rich Ginn, Mary Beth Thompson and Maria Cruz, according to parent Jason Primuth. Ginn, Thompson and Cruz’s terms end in 2028, which is why they’re being targeted for recall, according to Primuth.
Board members Sathvik Nori and Amy Koo also voted to close the school at 150 Jefferson Drive, but their terms end this year. Primuth said the sitting

President Trump’s nominee to chair the Federal Reserve said yesterday that he never promised the White House that he would cut interest rates, even as the president renewed his calls for the central bank to do so.
“The president never once asked me to commit to any particular interest rate
decision, period,” Kevin Warsh, a former top Fed official, said under questioning by the Senate Banking Committee. “Nor would I ever agree to do so if he had. ... I will be an independent actor if confirmed as chair of the Federal Reserve.”
Warsh’s comments came just hours
after Trump, in an interview on CNBC, was asked if he would be disappointed if Warsh didn’t immediately cut rates and responded, “I would.”
The comments underscore the challenge faced by Warsh, 56, of Stanford, a financier and former member of the

Palo Alto City Council has ordered the owner of the old Stanford Terrace Inn to demolish her buildings on El Camino Real because they’re a fire risk.
Fire Marshal Tamara Jasso said the block-long buildings at 531 Stanford Ave. would burn hot and fast, threatening nearby homes.
“We would not want to send firefighters into the building in the event of a fire,” Jasso told council on Monday.
The buildings were boarded two years ago when the city learned owner Sophia Huang was renting the rooms out to Stanford graduate students.
Emergency exits were blocked, ceilings were lined with plastic film, electrical wiring was corroded and a balcony was at risk of collapse, Jasso said.
Owner disputes details
In response, Huang’s attorney Brian O’Neill said the city has exaggerated violations, and many issues have been fixed or can be fixed.
Huang wants to demolish the buildings but not until she has a permit to develop new housing, O’Neill said.
Next-door neighbor Rosita Wong said she’s scared someone will ignite the buildings with a cigarette.
“Any delay to demolition is gambling with human lives,” Wong told council.

Jasso referenced a fire at the old Compadres Mexican Bar and Grill at 3877 El Camino Real, where a squatter was arrested for arson in November 2018.
Jasso said the city discovered bedding and feces in boxes at the Stanford Terrace Inn three times, indicating someone has been living there.
O’Neill said Huang added fences to prevent more trespassers. He accused the city of slow-walking 10 separate applications to build housing, but Planning Director Jonathan Lait pushed back.
“We haven’t seen a solid, serious application come in yet,” Lait said.
The city started looking into the Stanford Terrace Inn in September 2023 after firefighters responded to a medical call and saw corroded sprinklers and broken alarms.
The city made all of the tenants move out, and Huang had to pay relocation assistance equaling two months of rent.
Chief Building Official George Hoyt issued a demolition order on Oct. 17.
“Demolition is not only warranted but required by law,” Hoyt said in a statement.
Huang appealed to council. With Monday’s unanimous vote, she will have until Oct. 20 to raze the buildings.

Palo Alto’s top arborist says four redwoods should be cut down because they’re growing three feet away from a downtown church, even though 163 neighbors have signed a petition to save the trees.
“Given the mature size and growth potential of this species, this proximity represents an inherent and ongoing conflict between the trees and the structure … Removal is justified,” Urban Forester Peter Gollinger said in a report for a hearing tomorrow.
St. Thomas Aquinas Church member Helen Baumann said the church received complaints about tripping hazards on its driveway, and further investigation showed cracks in the foundation at 751 Waverley St.
“If we cut the roots in order to level the driveway or protect the foundation from further damage, we will destabilize the trees,” Baumann said in an email to Gollinger on Friday.
Neighbors want the trees
Neighbor Hannah Ennerfelt filed an appeal of the removal permit that Pub-
lic Works Director Brad Eggleston will consider tomorrow afternoon.
Ennerfelt said the trees are habitat for squirrels, insects and nesting birds.
Neighbor Thomas Seay collected signatures on a petition that calls for a root investigation and management, such as pruning or root barriers.
Neighbor Sooyeon Kim said she looks at the trees every morning while she eats breakfast, and their presence is “deeply meaningful.”
“In a world of constant digital distraction, these trees help me stay grounded and stay off my phone, providing a
much-needed sense of peace and connection to nature,” Kim said in an email to Palo Alto City Council.
But Golinger said coast redwoods are too big to grow next to building foundations, and root pruning would be dangerous.
He said he saw a six-inch surface root growing directly against a crack in the foundation.
“The current conditions reflect a longterm incompatibility between the trees and the built environment and do not conform to right tree in the right place principles,” he said.

Always one to go the distance, Jerome (Jerry) Carter Lewis’s passing at age 90 in his home in Mountain View, California brings to close another remarkable run in a life defined by endurance, purpose and devotion.
Jerry was born in San Francisco. He spent most of his life in Santa Clara County, growing up in Los Altos and graduating from Mountain View High School. His leadership skills became evident at age 14 when he became an Eagle Scout. In high school, he lettered in football and track – the latter launching his lifelong passion as an elite runner. He ran a 4:19 mile in college and a 2:44 marathon while in his 40s. He was also featured on the cover of Runner’s World magazine in August 1977.
¢
After a year at Santa Clara University, he earned a congressional appointment to the U.S. Military Academy West Point. There he competed in cross-country and track, serving as captain of the cross-country team in 1957. On graduation day in 1958, he married Barbara Anne Harvey, whom he met at a summer dance in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Their union was celebrated with a traditional West Point ceremony beneath the Arch of Sabers. As newlyweds, Jerry and Barbara embarked on a military career taking them across the U.S. and Europe. They lived in Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, and spent three years in Germany at the foot of the Alps. He was a Ranger in the 82nd Airborne Division Artillery and completed 39 parachute jumps. In Europe, he served as a Battery Commander and worked on the 7th Army NCO Academy and coached the U.S. Military Pentathlon team. In 1965, after seven years in the Army, where he rose to the rank of Captain, Jerry and Barbara returned to Santa Clara County for civilian life.
Jerry was among the pioneers of a burgeoning Silicon Valley. He was a Systems Analyst at United Airlines for four years before joining Lockheed Martin where he spent 32 years. He retired in 2001 as a Test Engineer in Space Systems. He loved being part of the Valley’s dynamic growth.
Above all, Jerry was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather – a true family man. He cherished time with his loved ones and instilled in them a deep appreciation for the outdoors. Camping, skiing, cycling and hiking were central to his life. He was also a steadfast caregiver to his wife Barbara throughout her years of declining health. His commitment extended to his faith and community – for decades, he served as an usher at St. William Catholic Church, organized high school reunions, and acted as a vital point of connection for his West Point class of 1958.
This past year, Jerry resided at BridgePoint Senior Living in Los Altos where he formed new friendships, enjoyed activities like yoga and outings, and was affectionately known as “Captain”. It is there that he met his close companion, Martha Brouwer.
Jerry lived a life grounded in faith, honor and love. Humble, kind, and selfless, he consistently placed others before himself. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his four children and their spouses: Dennis (Cathleen), Jayne (Dennis); Charlie (Carrie); and Jacqueline (Peter). He is also remembered and adored by his six grandchildren Laura, Patrick, Kienna, Bryce, Chas, and Aidan; and four great-grandchildren Alma, Filippa, Winter and Mateo. He is preceded in death by his wife Barbara and his brothers Pete and Leandro.
Funeral services will be held at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Los Altos on Saturday, April 25 th at 11am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB) https://cmmb.org/

Nonprofits want to open a preschool, a senior center and a makerspace at Palo Alto’s rebuilt Cubberley Community Center.
The city is now in talks with five nonprofits that are looking to raise money and get space at the old high school, which would be renovated if voters approve a sales tax in November.
The city has already announced partnerships with a group raising money for a gym and TheatreWorks, which wants to build a new performing arts center on the 35acre property.
The latest nonprofits to jump in are Avenidas Senior Center, Palo Alto Community Childcare and Maker Nexus, Councilwoman Julie Lythcott-Haims said at a meeting on Monday night.
New senior center
Avenidas is interested in opening a second senior center at Cubberley, in addition its downtown headquarters at 450 Bryant St.
Residents are aging, and the demand for services in south Palo Alto is high, CEO Kristina Lugo said in an interview yesterday.
“It’s an opportunity to think about how our older adults have access to a more modern, accessible and safe building,” Lugo said.
Avenidas currently rents three classrooms at Cubberley for a Chinese Community Center. A roughly 6,000-square foot space and a
few smaller rooms would allow Avenidas to offer more classes, clubs, fitness programs and larger group celebrations, Lugo said.
“A smaller version of 450 Bryant but similar,” Lugo said.
Preschool classrooms
Palo Alto Community Child Care CEO Lee Pfab said she would add two or three classrooms for infants and toddlers and two or three classrooms for a preschool, along with outdoor space.
The nonprofit of 50 years is anticipating more families because of the city’s plan to allow apartments along San Antonio Road, Pfab said in an interview yesterday.
The nonprofit is already putting low-income families on a waitlist at its 18 facilities, which include public schools, libraries, churches and community centers throughout Palo Alto. Pfab said she wants to get state funding to fund the new preschool.
A preschool would go well alongside Cubberley’s existing classes like karate and music, board member Georgiana Kuhlmann added.
Maker Nexus is a nonprofit with a 28,000-square foot facility north of Highway 237 in Sunnyvale.
The makerspace has wood, metal and textile shops, a computer and electronics lab and tools like laser cutters and 3-D printers.
“Basically anything you need
to make something,” Executive Director Regina Sakols said in an interview.
The property owner is planning to redevelop the facility, so Sakols is interested in having the same square footage at Cubberley. Maker Nexus has 650 members and runs a summer camp with 80 kids a week, she said.
“You can envision a suite of public-private partnerships, each of which bring some amount of money to the table that ends up filling up one of the baskets we need in order to pay for this thing,” Lythcott-Haims told the Parks and Recreation Commission on March 24.
The city owns eight acres of the 35-acre property at 4000 Middlefield Road. The school district owns the remaining 27 acres and has leased most of the space to the city since 1989.
Council and the school board reached a long-awaited land deal in October 2024. The city agreed to buy seven acres from the district for $65.5 million, as long as voters fund the purchase in November.
A poll in January found neither a sales tax nor a parcel tax has enough support from voters, but a sales tax is more likely to pass.
A poll in March asked potential voters whether partnering with nonprofits would increase voter support. Council will discuss the results on May 18.
Trade Wars and Currency Wars are accelerating worldwide.
The old monetar y system is failing. Indebted national currencies are depreciating in a see-saw race to the bottom. So much worldwide debt is in default or is being masked with more debt. Politicians posture at each other, but they all created the situation by buying power and favors while mor tgaging your children’s future.
Stocks and bond markets, long suppor ted by Central Banks, may be challenged going for ward as governments have exhausted their debt expansion tools. Recent new highs in equities, due to some promising companies, may be more post-election hope than substance.
Cr yptocurrencies had their run, but the hope for a sounder and more private fiat system remains challenged while a past price bubble for the majority has been costly. Bitcoin is an example of those still per forming among the thousands of currencies & tokens in this young experiment.
Wise and calm obser vers know that longterm, gold is money, not debt, not paper promises. For thousands of years it has protected families from currency depreciation, paper defaults, and cer tain political abuses.
If you have been waiting to buy gold, or buy it “cheaper,” reconsider. Gold bottomed near $1040 at the end of 2015. We are in a new multi-year uptrend reconfirmed by the current strength just below all time highs. Monetar y scientists understand that the repricing of gold is just getting star ted. Each crisis seems to become more pronounced as the debt monetar y system disintegrates towards failure. Gold is best accumulated, not speculated. Star t saving in gold, and make it a habit.

Palo Alto City Council is grappling with the transitions between taller downtown buildings and neighborhoods with single-family homes.
Developer Prabhas Kejriwal on Monday presented plans for a seven-story building reaching 92 feet in height at 910 Webster Street, between the 10-story Channing House and one-story homes.
Unhappy neighbors
Neighbors including former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer have pushed Kejriwal to shrink the building.
“The proposed density is simply too much for this location. The proposed structure is too tall and would loom over nearby single-family homes,” said Mayer, who lives around the corner on Addison Avenue.
Neighbor Deborah Dooley said she would lose sunlight from 4 to 8 p.m.
“A project of this scale will fundamentally alter the character of this neighborhood,” neighbor Catherine Cohen said.
The 70-unit building would replace a two-story apartment complex that has 24 units.
Councilman George Lu and Councilwoman Julie Lyth-
cott-Haims supported the project on Monday.
“I’m pleased to see something this beautiful as downtown in-fill,” Lythcott-Haims said.
‘Just a wall’ Councilmen Keith Reckdahl, Ed Lauing, Pat Burt and Mayor Vicki Veenker said the location is good for housing, but they want to see the neighbors get more sunlight.
“This is not a transition. This is just a wall,” Reckdahl said.
“Be polite to your neighbors,” Lauing said.
“I like the direction, I just don’t think we’re quite there on the form,” Veenker said.

The Trump administration will require all 50 states to explain their plans to revalidate some of their Medicaid providers in a national escalation of anti-fraud efforts that have so far largely focused on specific states, Dr. Mehmet Oz said yesterday.
the audits that we’re doing to the different states more aggressively,” he said, without elaborating.
Anti-fraud effort
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Administrator said during a Politico health care summit that his agency plans to ask states to “own” the problem of health care fraud this week with requests for states to share their strategies within 30 days.
“It’s an example of what we’d like them to do to prove that they’re serious about this,” Oz said onstage yesterday. “And if you don’t take it seriously, it indicates to us that we might have to take
Yesterday’s announcement is part of a federal campaign to tackle waste, fraud and abuse in federal Medicaid and Medicare programs that so far has mostly targeted Democratic states — and at least once has erred in its accusations.
Last month, Trump signed an executive order to create an anti-fraud task force across federal benefit programs led by Vice President JD Vance. It’s unclear whether yesterday’s move is part of that effort, though Oz has been working closely with Vance.
San Mateo County yesterday banned kratom, a substance that state health officials say has been found to cause harm and addiction, after a now shuttered West Menlo Park smoke shop was found to be selling the substance.
The ban applies to unincorporated areas of the county, including West Menlo Park, North Fair Oaks and Emerald Hills.
What is kratom?
Kratom is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia that acts on opioid receptors and can produce stimulant and sedative effects, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
aware of local sales of kratom when he saw a banner outside of the Blazin Gifts smoke shop at 3536 Alameda de las Pulgas advertising the substance. Mueller said he tried to get state authorities to step in, but months of delays to coordinate enforcement became a challenge.
“We had to wait,” Mueller said. “During that entire time, frankly, I was incredibly frustrated knowing that kids could walk into that shop and purchase it.”
Kratom contains the alkaloid 7-hydroxymitragynine, or 7-OH, which can be extracted from the leaves and synthesized into highly concentrated products such as liquid extract shots, gummies, drink mixes, and tablets. It is sold at retailers like smoke shops and gas stations.
Supervisor Ray Mueller, who introduced the ban, said he first became
Supervisor Jackie Speier agreed that taking local action is needed to allow the county to circumvent possible enforcement delays from the state, as there is no comprehensive statewide law banning kratom.
Overdose potential
While often marketed as an herbal supplement, kratom products can lead to addiction and potential overdose, according to the California Department of Public Health. From 2020 to 2022, 27 people died in California due to kratom.
Times shown are when a report was made to police. Information is from police logs. All of the people named here are innocent until proven guilty in court.

during the school day. Parents and students accused Austin of punishing high-achieving students and have been trying to get the course back ever since.
Paly teacher Daniel Nguyen received a master’s degree in math so he could teach Multivariable Calculus, and then he wrote a proposal to follow AP Calculus in the course catalog, starting in the fall.
Course opposed
But the course was opposed by councils of assistant principals, instructional leads and teachers that set the priorities at each high school.
“It risks amplifying the already significant pressures on students to do more, faster, at the expense of balance and wellness,” the Paly Education Council wrote in an Oct. 3 letter to the school board.
The board voted unanimously on Dec. 16 to approve Nguyen’s course, but the councils had the final say.
Nguyen was skeptical that Foothill College would have an instructor to teach Multivariable Calculus during the high school bell schedule. But he was positive about yesterday’s announcement.
“Nothing’s official yet, but I’m heartened by the prospect that our students will finally be able to take these classes during the school day,” Nguyen said in a text message.
Night classes still available
De Anza College will continue offering the course in evenings on Zoom and at Palo Alto High School, Kline said. Board members Rowena Chiu and Alison Kamhi wanted to direct the school to offer the course at a meeting on March 17.
“I firmly believe that students who wish to accelerate should be given the opportunity without constraint,” Chiu said.
Board members Shounak Dharap, Shana Segal and Josh Salcman were worried that overruling educators would set a bad precedent and go against a policy that allows the councils to decide whether to offer a course.
board, which voted unanimously on Feb. 4 to close the school with less than 200 students due to financial constraints, are not the best people to serve the district.
Recalls aren’t the only tool parents are using to fight the closure of TIDE, which is set to close at the end of this school year and send the remaining students to Woodside High School. TIDE Rising has filed two lawsuits, one of which was dismissed by a judge on Monday.
Lawsuit tossed
U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson on Monday found the parent group did not show how students with disabilities wouldn’t be able to get the same education at a larger school, leading her to the decision to close the case.
“We respect the passion that TIDE parents have for their school, and we understand this has been a difficult process for all involved,” Superintendent Crystal Leach said in a statement. “The district, however, has a legal and governance responsibility to act in the best interest of all its students, which includes sound financial stewardship. We are gratified that the court recognized the legal soundness of the board’s decision.”
Primuth said he was surprised Thompson made the ruling before the parents and the district entered mediation to discuss the vote to close the STEM-focused magnet school.
Parents filed the lawsuit against the district on Jan. 30, arguing the plan to close the school discriminates against children with disabilities by closing TIDE.
“We don’t consider this the end of the road,” Primuth said. Parents filed a second lawsuit on March 23 against the district, alleging the board violated the state’s open meeting laws by possibly discussing the school’s closure in private text messages. Leach di-
rected the five elected board members to call or text her about the closure, according to documents that parents received in response to a California Public Records Act request.
This direction to discuss TIDE via text or phone call is evidence that trustees deliberated without the public knowing, violating the Brown Act, according to the complaint, filed in San Mateo County Superior Court by attorney Jay Jambeck.
Fed’s board of governors whom Trump named in January to replace the current Fed chair, Jerome Powell. Democrats on the committee accused Warsh of flip-flopping on interest rates over the years, supporting higher interest rates under Democratic presidents and advocating rate cuts during Trump’s time in office. Investors are watching the hearing closely to see how Warsh balances Trump’s demands with worsening inflation, as the war in Iran pushes up the price of gasoline.
Higher inflation typically leads the Fed to raise rates, or at least keep them unchanged, rather than cut them. When the Fed changes its key rate, it can affect mortgages, auto loans, and business borrowing.
Yet Warsh’s account was challenged by Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., who said Wall Street Journal reporting last year found that Trump had urged Warsh to reduce borrowing costs.
“Who's lying here? Is it you or the president?” Gallego asked.
“I think those reporters need better sources,” Warsh said.
For all the back and forth, the hearing didn’t appear to advance Warsh’s nomination, which has been delayed by a Justice Department investigation into the Fed and Powell, over brief testimony Powell gave last June before the same panel about a building renovation.
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., reiterated yesterday he wouldn’t vote for Warsh until the investigation is dropped. With all Democrats opposed to his nomination, Tillis’ opposition is enough to hold it up in committee.

An East Palo Alto man hopped on a flight to Mexico the day after he allegedly fatally shot two other young adults at a party in 2018, a prosecutor said yesterday.
Julian Santana Rico, 25, appeared in court yesterday after fleeing to Mexico and teaching English for seven years, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Santana Rico was arrested on Friday by the Mexican authorities with help from the U.S. Marshals for allegedly shooting Eduardo “Lalo” Sandoval, 22, of
Stockton, and Mario Vidales Mendez, 23, of Redwood City, the DA said.
Santana Rico, Sandoval and Mendez attended a party on Oct. 14, 2018, in a parking lot at A1 Auto Service and Towing in East Palo Alto. A fight broke out between a group of three to four attendees, including Santana Rico and Sandoval, Wagstaffe said.
As the fight ended, Santana Rico pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and fired nine shots, hitting Sandoval, Mendez and two other party attendees before leaving the party, according to Wagstaffe. One of the victims needed 15 surgeries, Wagstaffe said.
Santana Rico is in jail without bail and will be in court on April 28.

A painter has pulled a woman out of her burning house in Midtown Palo Alto.
Salvador Bolanos, of San Jose, said he was painting inside the garage at 3137 David Court around 12:30 p.m. on Monday when he heard a woman screaming.
Bolanos said he went inside and found the woman trying to put out a fire in the bedroom that was burning the mattress. He grabbed a bucket and
dumped water on the flames, but they kept growing.
“I told the lady, ‘Let’s go, let’s go out,’” Bolanos said in an interview. “She was freaked out. She could not even move, so I had to pull her out to the back of the house.”
Eight fire engines and at least seven police officers responded. Firefighters attacked the fire with hoses and tools from the side yard and roof. Another man evacuated on his own and left in an ambulance. The operation started winding down around 1:30 p.m.
Terun and Italico received the Outstanding Business award from the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce this year. The Campilongo brothers, Maico and Franco, opened Terun in 2013 and iTalico in 2016.
