Peninsula Bridge, which for 22 years has conducted summer enrichment pro-

grams for motivated kids from under-resourced communities, is expanding its operations on the Peninsula. The program, which holds five-week summer sessions at local private schools, aims to prepare fifth- through eighth-grade students so they are on the college track when they get to high school. The sessions include a mix of academic and enrichment classes, plus recre-ational activities. The program has grown quite a bit since it started in 1990 with 26 kids. This summer it has 400 students, a third more than in 2010. Now the goal is to reach 600 students by 2015. With growing enrollment has come new school sites. This year, two more schools — Pinewood in Los Altos and Saint Francis in Palo Alto — host Peninsula Bridge summer ses-sions, bringing the number of participating campuses to nine, including two at Sacred Heart Schools in Atherton. Menlo School in Atherton and Woodside Priory in Portola Val-ley are also in the program. Deirdre Marlowe, executive director of Peninsula Bridge, said she’d like to find a way to offer services to the students during the school year, possible

by forming a closer relation-ship with local public schools. Though private schools pro-vide the campuses and a large amount of backing for Pen-insula Bridge, most students come from public institutions, and the more than 15 public schools in the area also support the program, said Sherri Shaner, Peninsula Bridge’s development director. Academically, Peninsula Bridge students focus on Eng-lish and mathematics, reviewing what they studied at school over the past year and preparing for the next. The average student-teacher ratio is 4 to 1, giving the kids extensive “individual atten-tion,” said Ms. Shaner. Weekly field trips and daily classes on such topics as nutri-tion and art provide valu-able extracurricular experience “often lost in middle school” but important to develop student confidence in the classroom, she said. Students attend a different campus each year so they can experience new environments and use what each school has to offer, explained Ms. Shaner. The fifth-graders attend single-sex campuses, but after the first year the campuses are co-ed. At Castilleja School in Palo Alto, fifth-grade girls use the dance studio to practice dance, something “many have never experienced before,” said one of

the teacher assistants. An important aspect of the Bridge program is the leadership role of teacher assistants, who are high school and college-age volunteers. Many of the assistants have participated in Bridge programs as students, and want to give back, said Mary Hulburt, site director at Castilleja. “I’ve never had to recruit TAs,” she said. Because the assistants come from similar circumstances, the students relate to them and look

up to them, said Ms. Shaner — a sentiment seconded by the Cas-tilleja school director and the students themselves. The assistants grow into lead-ership roles by teaching classes, creating their own curriculum, and providing role models for the Bridge participants, said a descriptive flier. This year an Olympics theme permeates many activities, such as a “walk to London” challenge, where students strap on pedom-eters and, working in teams,

try to walk the total number of miles between here and London. The goal is to remind students of the hard work needed to achieve success. At Castilleja, some of the girls are “getting very into it,” Ms. Shaner said with a laugh. The girls run up the stairs and jump in line to fit in as many steps as possible into their day.

Peninsula Bridge now reaches 400 students

SRI International in Menlo Park recently received two feder-al grants, one to develop technol-ogy to use natural gas in vehicles, and the other to develop an oral therapy for multiple sclerosis. The U.S. Department of Ener-gy awarded $875,000 to SRI to develop low-pressure natural gas storage tanks for light-duty vehicles. SRI’s approach “using porous carbon materials will provide structural strength and high surface area for gas adsorp-tion that will entirely eliminate the need for a costly external tank,” the department said in its July 12 announcement. SRI is one of 13 companies nationwide that will receive a total of $30 million in federal

funds to develop technologies to reduce the inefficiencies associ-ated with using natural gas as a vehicle fuel, the department said.

This initiative attempts to move beyond the high pressure, large size and high cost of traditional natural gas fuel systems. “The projects will also focus on developing natural gas compressors that make it easier

for consumers to re-fuel at home,” the department said. Go to tinyurl.com/Grant234 to download a PDF document describing the other projects.

Multiple sclerosis drug

The Department of Defense medical research programs have awarded a one-year $131,000 grant to SRI to develop an oral therapy for multiple sclerosis. The new medication would be designed to be more convenient for patients than the current intravenous infusions or injec-tions that sometimes require hospital visits. It also could help patients who are not respond-ing to current methods.

SRI wins grants to develop technologies Twenty-eight local students were recently awarded college scholarships ranging from $500 to $5,000 each under a program called Pursuit of Excellence, started by Jerry and Dick Small-wood of Palo Alto. The scholarships are seen as a “tipping point” for these stu-dents in terms of helping them go to college. Since 1985, about 330 students have received grants totaling more than $2 million. The program includes a mentoring program to help with future economic needs. Recipients are recommended by school coun-selors and teachers. Below are recipients from high schools in the Almanac’s area, with

the college they plan to attend. ■ Menlo-Atherton High School: Jessamine Zamora, UC Santa Cruz; Shanissa Armand, Holy Names University, Oak-land; Daniel Estrella, California State University, East Bay; and Victor Alvarez Chavez, San Francisco State. ■ Woodside High School: Christian Cuevas, UC Santa Barbara; Marlene Rosales, Can-ada College; Karina Zapata, UC Santa Cruz; Martin Esquivias, UC Santa Cruz; and Pierre Abdel-Malek, Cal Poly. ■ Summit Prep: Janice Bonel-lo, California State, Monterey.

Jack Randall and Christian Freeman, two Menlo Park residents who graduate from

Sacred Heart Prep this year, have started a local car-washing busi-ness called Park, where the wash-ers go to clients’ homes. “We realized that local car-washing companies were either too expensive, untrustworthy, and that their lines were too long,” said Mr. Randall said in an email. With Park, “literally all you have to do is park your car. We take care of the rest and bring the car wash to your driveway,”

he said. The name Park resulted from this business model, as well as the fact that it started in the city of Menlo Park. The pair began the business about two weeks ago, and this is their first attempt at starting a business. They say they are get-ting about seven to 10 requests per week, and hope that will con-tinue to rise as word gets out. They currently serve Menlo Park and Atherton, and hope to expand. In the fall Mr. Randall will attend Santa Clara University and Mr. Freeman, University of Southern California. They hope to recruit high school and

Stanford students to keep Park operating. The business offers both inte-rior and exterior cleaning, and charges $18 for an exterior wash on smaller cars and $24 for larger cars. Interior cleaning costs $8. Visit parkinmenlo.webs.com for more information. A

Portola Valley resident Wyatt Giampa, 16, is one of 136 high school stu-

dents selected to attend Grammy Camp, a 10-day summer music program. A budding electronic music producer, Wyatt will attend the camp’s Los Angeles location at the University of Southern Cali-fornia Thorton School of Music in July. He will participate in the camp’s Electronic Music Production career track.

Wyatt trac-es his interest in the music industry back to middle school. “At middle school dances, I would go up to the DJs and ask them about a bunch of stuff. I kind of created a little business out of it, I got all the equipment,” he said. “I started fooling around with it and then it became the main interest of

everything.” Also known as DJ G. WAWA, Wyatt has DJ’d at Castilleja High School, Corte Madera Middle School, and various private parties in the area. His company is called G WAWA Productions. Wyatt attended Saint Francis High School for two years and is headed to Woodside High School for the second half of his high school career. He said he plans to take advantage of Woodside’s Audio Production Lab. A

Former Caltrain staffer Janet McGovern will talk about her new book on the history of the rail line during a program at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 21, at the San Mateo County History Museum. The book, entitled “Caltrain and the Peninsula Commute Service,” deals with how the rail line was started in 1864 to link San Francisco and San Jose. Operated by the Southern Pacific for most of its history, this commuter line is the oldest continuously operating passen-ger railroad in the West.

Ms. McGovern covered South-ern Pacific as a reporter for the Redwood City Tribune and joined the Caltrain public infor-mation staff in 1992, retiring in 2011. Her husband Reg, a vet-eran newspaper photographer, has many of his pictures in the book. The talk will be held in Court-room A at the museum, located at 2200 Broadway St. in Red-wood City. Admission to this event is free with admission to the museum: $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and students.

Wallace-Evans Rebecca Wallace and Ronald Evans were married March 25 at the San Jose Woman’s Club. A swing-dancing reception fol-lowed in the club’s ballroom, with the band Steve Lucky & the Rhumba Bums. The bride is the daughter of Donald and Ellen Wallace of Menlo Park. She is a graduate of Menlo-Atherton High School and the University of California at Davis, and was a reporter at the Almanac for several years. She now works as the arts editor of the Palo Alto Weekly. The groom is the son of Ronald Evans Sr. of Tennessee and Mary Arnold of Monterey County. A graduate of Colum-bia College in Chicago, he is founder and principal at Group Of Minds arts marketing and technology consulting. Both singers and actors, the bride and groom met while in a production of Stephen Sond-heim’s “Merrily We Roll Along.” The bride walked down the aisle to a ballad that the groom sang

in that musical. Douglas DeVore was man of honor. The bridesmaids were Linda Pomeranz, Amy Milbert and Denise Segal. Brian Haigh was best man, and the grooms-men were Skeeter Murphy and Michael Turner. The couple honeymooned at the Grand Canyon and are plan-ning a trip to Scotland this fall.

Five or six workers mowing tall weeds at 265 Mountain Wood Lane in Woodside may have start-ed a grass fire but also brought it under control with their own hoses shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday, July 10, Fire Chief Dan Ghiorso of the Woodside Fire Protection District told the Almanac. A mower blade may have hit a rock and caused a spark, Chief Ghiorso said. “We don’t like them doing that at this time of day,” he said, adding that the fire marshal is investigating the scene. The fire was first reported as a column of smoke near Wood-

side and Bear Gulch roads by firefighters returning to the main fire station on Woodside Road. A subsequent call by a resident reported a structure fire nearby on Mountain Wood Lane, which elicited a “full response” of vehicles and per-sonnel appropriate to such a fire, the chief said. At one point, five or six fire-fighting vehicles, an ambulance and three battalion chiefs were assigned, but after a few minutes two of the vehicles were enough to “mop this up,” according to an audio report from the website FireDispatch.com.

USGS talk on wind power and wildlife U.S. Geological Survey research statistician Manuela Huso will give a talk in Menlo Park on Thursday, July 26, about wildlife fatalities from wind power farms, and what is being done about it. The talk starts at 7 p.m. in confer-ence room A, Building 3, on the U.S. Geological Survey campus at 345 Middlefield Road in Menlo Park. As wind energy development rolls forward, the environmental destruction from the turbines, including significant numbers of dead birds and other animals, has caused concern. Ms. Huso will talk about new tools scien-tists are developing to monitor and reduce wildlife fatalities.

In the company of local and state officials, San Mateo County Sheriff Greg Munks took shovel in hand and broke ground on July 10 for the new jail at Maple and Blomquist streets in Redwood City, about a half mile north of the Woodside Road interchange on the eastern side of U.S. 101. When finished in 2015, the $160 million, 260,000-square-foot facility will house 640 inmates, replace the women’s

jail and relieve overcrowding at the current downtown jail, officials said. The new jail will be “a place of hope ... a state of the art cor-rectional facility designed not to just house inmates, but to also prepare them for re-entry into society once they have complet-ed their sentences,” the sheriff said in the statement. Plans include facilities for inmates to learn useful skills, including cooking and dog

training, and facilities to allow their minor children to bond with them while they’re in jail. “Statistics indicate children of inmates are five times more likely than children of non-of-fenders to become incarcerated themselves,” Mr. Munks said. “I am committed to breaking the cycle of generational offenders. One way to do that is to provide robust visiting opportunities to the children of both male and female inmates.”

“If I want a Best Seller, I advertise in the Almanac and the Weekly.” – Lyn Jason Cobb

As a Realtor serving Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Atherton, Portola Valley and Woodside, I do my utmost to provide extraordinary service to my clients. The Almanac and the Palo Alto Weekly is always where I advertise fi rst because I like the home delivery, editorial focus, and it is a great value. I have always had great results promoting open homes in the Palo Alto Weekly and The Almanac, and I also run in special publications like Spring and Fall Real Estate, Neighborhoods and Info Menlo because of the great coverage and online presence. I am also a big believer in the Palo Alto Weekly’s Open Home Guide, which is by far the most accurate and comprehensive. I’ve had many buyers bring in the guide to my ‘Open Homes’ to see what I have listed.”

We will work to help your business grow! For Advertising information, please call

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automati-cally entitle you to free and clear owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insur-ance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mort-gage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, this information can be obtained from one of the follow-ing two companies: LPS Agency Sales & Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.lpsasap.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting & Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.prioritypost-ing.com (Click on the link for "Advanced Search" to search for sale information),

using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. Information about postpone-ments that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. P959457 7/4, 7/11, 07/18/2012 ALM

Said sale will be made, in an "AS IS" condition, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust, advances thereun-der, with interest as provided, and the unpaid principal of the Note secured by said Deed of Trust with interest thereon as provided in said Note, plus fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. If required by the provisions of section 2923.5 of the California Civil Code, the declaration from the mort-gagee, beneficiary or authorized agent is attached to the Notice of Trustee's Sale duly recorded with the appropriate County Recorder's Office. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are consid-ering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on a property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automati-cally entitle you to free and clear owner-ship of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insur-ance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law

requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 1-800-281-8219 or visit this Internet Web site www.recontrustco.com, using the file number assigned to this case 12-0025436. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not imme-diately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: JOHN JAMES CURTI Case No.: 122467 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JOHN JAMES CURTI. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: KIM A. ALLYN in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN MATEO. The Petition for Probate requests that: KIM A. ALLYN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the person-al representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to inter-ested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an inter-ested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on July 30, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 28, of the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, located at 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you object to the granting of the peti-tion, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: /s/ Richard A.
