Q —Sue Dremann For a holiday gift, Carla Teacher pleads not guilty to sexual misconduct Palo Alto High School science teacher Ronnie Farrell pleaded not is surprising Avery guilty on Wednesday to charges that he touched a 15-year-old student inappropriately, a Santa Clara County prosecutor said. Farrell, 46, is charged with six counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a day on the slopes. on a minor and three counts of sexual battery for two incidents in early June on school grounds, prosecutor Steven Dal Porto said. Farrell was arrested by Palo Alto police on June 15. The student regularly helped teachers in the classroom with chores. She met with Farrell on June 7 after he allegedly asked her to meet him at the school, according to the DA’s office. Farrell led her to a classroom, where he allegedly touched her chest and took her hand to touch his groin. The girl told her parents about the incident and they called police. Farrell continued corresponding with the girl via social media and arranged to meet her at the school on June 15. When he arrived, police arrested him. In a separate incident on June 3, Farrell also allegedly had inap- propriate physical contact with the girl, Dal Port said. Farrell is out on $250,000 bail. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Santa Clara County Superior Court in Palo Alto on Jan. 20. Q —Sue Dremann Council taps the brakes on higher speed limits Higher speed limits may boost Palo Alto’s ability to enforce traffic, but city officials indicated on Monday that they are in no rush to pursue this solution without the community’s buy-in. The idea of raising the speed limit came out of a recent traffic survey and study, which evaluated speeds at 70 roadways throughout the city and identified 14 where cars go significantly faster than the posted speed limit. But if the city wants to enable radar enforcement on these segments, it would have to establish a speed limit that is within 5 mph of pace at which most drivers are traveling, according to state law. In discussing the survey results, members of the City Council acknowledged the importance of enforcing the speed limit. At the same time, few had an appetite for making the change. Chief transportation official Joshua Mello said that staff is not recommending the changes but merely pointing out that, based on the study, the threshold would need to be raised on the 14 segments %TGCVGOGOQTKGU if the city wanted to pursue radar enforcement. Some council members were enthusiastic about the prospect of PQVYCUVG lowering speed limits near school zones, as allowed by state law. Under the proposal speed limits would drop from 25 mph to 20 or 15 mph within 500 feet of schools. Former Mayor Yoriko Kishimoto urged the council not to move ahead with raising speed limits but to instead pursue a long-term reduction in citywide traffic. Several council members spoke about the importance of enforcing the For more waste-free gift ideas, visit speed limit, a topic that loomed large during the Planning and Transpor- www.cityofpaloalto.org/zwholiday tation Commission’s review of the survey earlier this month.
