Since 1999, a program called Compass has served as a summer-bridge program

for some students entering the Sequoia Union High School District. It focuses on “at-risk” freshmen performing below grade level. A 24-day summer program of English, math and skills classes is intended to pre-pare them for high school. In addition, they get acquainted with teachers, the school campus and each other so they feel more comfortable when they start in the fall. Compass serves students work-ing below grade level. What about incom-ing students who should be in advanced classes? The answer: the Honors Institute. Created by a group of M-A faculty and staff three years ago, the institute is a five-week summer program geared toward incoming stu-dents from lower-income areas who are scoring at or above grade level. The program is funded by the Foundation for the Future, an M-A High fund-raising group. Many of these M-A students begin high school in honors

classes but drop out, even in their first year, said administra-tive vice principal Karl Losek-oot, who is among those who created the Honors Institute. “So how do we better prepare them to make it through at least a full year, if not more?” By beginning early. Before the school year begins, M-A courts these high-potential students at feeder schools in the area and invites them to be a part of the institute in order to make an early connection with the high school they will attend. Mr. Losekoot explained the process: “We sent them fancy letters, we made nice fliers,

we called them up, we made them T-shirts, we did every-thing we could to make it a very boutique-y program where students in the program would feel, ‘I’m spe-

cial, this is just for me.’” One goal is to give them a sense of what an honors class at M-A is like. “What’s the work-load, what’s the rigor, what’s the level of critical thought that’s required,” he said. A second goal is to help the students form a community with their peers. “One of the problems is that a lot of these students — not

all, but many — are students of color. They would be in some of our honors classes and feel kind of isolated and alone,” Mr. Losekoot explained. “So, if we could bring a lot of these stu-dents together, they would come to form connections and at least know each other, if not become friends.” This year, 48 students are participating in the Honors Institute, the largest class yet. Students are grouped in advanced English, math and science classes so that they go through the program together and become resources for each other. Students also take an elective class, where they learn skills necessary to succeed as

an honors student, such as communication and assertive-ness. Cecelia Estrada, 16, an East Palo Alto resident, was one of the institute’s first students three years ago. The elective class was her favorite. “I learned to speak up more and to interact with others,” she said. “I made a lot of friends.” Cecelia, now a junior, is not only enrolled in AP courses, but has returned to the Honors program this summer to serve as a peer mentor. The mentors give presentations on good study habits and things to look out for during freshman year. They are available throughout classes to answer questions

and help students with their work. Although she may be the ideal example of the institute’s poten-tial impact, many institute stu-dents don’t remain in advanced classes for even a year. But there’s another goal that’s harder to measure and it hap-pens over time, said Mr. Losek-oot. “Do these kids continue to feel like they’re connected to the school, that the school cares about them?” he said. “Do they continue to feel special? I think if we’ve achieved that on some level, if they have higher self-esteem because of that, they’re going to be more successful stu-dents no matter what classes they take.” A

California State Assembly-man Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, seems like a man

who really could give you his life story in three minutes. He demonstrated his mastery of the elevator pitch before a crowd of about 35 people at a forum July 17 hosted by the Menlo Demo-crats club. Also in the spotlight was former Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, who represented District

22 in the California Legislature from 2002 to 2008. The two candidates face off in November for a seat in the newly formed state Senate District 13, which includes most of San Mateo County and portions of Santa Clara County such Palo Alto and Mountain View. The pair took turns answering four questions fielded by club president John Woodell over the course of 30 minutes in a back room at the Menlo Hub restau-rant (formerly Oak City Bar &

Grill). First up, high-speed rail. Mr. Hill said he refused to support the newly passed high-speed rail bill until it incorporated electrification of Caltrain, pro-vided stand-alone value to the Central Valley where the first segment will be constructed, and guaranteed a two-track design. He voted in favor of the bill, although rail watchdogs question whether the guarantee really exists. Ms. Lieber had a different

perspective. “It’s a bad bill,” she said. “It’s a bad deal for the Peninsula.” She suggested that given the state’s economic struggles, there are higher pri-orities like edu-cation and the environment. The discussion then turned to restoration of the Hetch Het-chy reservoir. An offshoot of the Sierra Club wants to put an initiative on the November ballot that would create a plan eventually leading to drain-ing the reservoir to restore the

Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosem-ite National Park. San Francisco draws heavily upon the reservoir and supplies its water to other

parts of the Pen-insula. “I understand why they want to, but the Bay Area relies on water from the

Hetch Hetchy,” Ms. Lieber said. She suggested a focus on levees instead, commenting that levy failure could lead to salt water intrusion that could wreak havoc

Gould-Caldbeck Kimberly Anne Gould and Ryan Matthew Caldbeck were married July 14 at St. Helena Catholic Church in Calistoga. The ceremony was performed by Msgr. Dominick Fullam of Biloxi, Mississippi, whom the bridegroom met and worked with when he volunteered in Biloxi after Hurricane Katrina. The bride is the daughter of Richard and Anne Gould of Menlo Park. (Richard Gould was the men’s tennis coach at Stan-ford from 1966 to 2004, when his teams won 17 national champi-onship titles.) A lifelong Menlo Park resident, she attended Las Lomitas, La Entrada and Menlo School. She is a graduate of Har-vard University, with bachelor degrees in psychology and sociol-ogy, and holds an MBA from the

Graduate School of Business at Stanford University. A market-ing communications manager at Facebook in Menlo Park, she sits on the board of the Bay Area

Sports Foundation, a nonprofit organization providing oppor-tunities for low-income youth to participate in organized sports. The bridegroom is the son of Gareth and Diane Caldbeck of Naples, Florida. He received his bachelor degree in public policy and psychology from Duke University, where he was a member of the 2001 national championship basketball team. He received his MBA from Stan-ford University. The bridegroom is the CEO and co-founder of CircleUp, an online social mar-ketplace that supports direct equity investments from indi-vidual investors to small private consumer and retail companies. He is on the board of Summit Preparatory charter school in Redwood City. After a honeymoon in South Africa, the couple will live in Redwood City.

Boxes with weekly selections of lettuces, herbs, green beans, summer squash and other veg-gies from SMIP Ranch in the hills above Woodside are now available for pickup at the Vil-lage Pub in Woodside and May-field Bakery & Cafe in Palo Alto from 4 to 7 p.m. each Wednes-day. Cost is $28. The boxes will include a recipe and/or tips on how to properly care for and cook ingredients in the box. Since 2001, SMIP Ranch has supplied local produce to res-

taurants in the Bacchus Man-agement Group, which includes the Village Pub, Mayfield Bak-ery & Cafe, and Spruce and Cafe des Amis in San Francisco. Mary and Brian Shipman use sustainable farming methods to raise the produce on the five-acre farm. Restaurant team members also help with plant-ing and cultivating the crops. Pre-orders are required. How-ever, Mayfield Bakery & Cafe in Town and Country Village in Palo Alto offers a few extra boxes to those unable to reserve

in advance. E-mail smipranchcsa@gmail.com or call 793-2324 for more information. Visit Facebook.com/Smip-Ranch to see the Facebook page. On Saturday, Sept. 22, the Bacchus restaurants will host their annual SMIP Ranch har-vest dinner. Guests will meet the farmers, tour the land, and enjoy a multi-course family-style dinner prepared by chef Mark Sullivan and his culinary team. A

on the Bay Area’s water supply. Mr. Hill voiced concerns over San Francisco getting to decide what happens to the water sup-ply serving residents all along the Peninsula. “Do we have a voice in that? Yes,” he said. “But we don’t have a say.” He said one of the first pieces of legisla-tion he would author, if elected, would be a bill guaranteeing that all Bay Area communities who rely on the reservoir would get a say in its future. Job creation was up next. Both candidates agreed that jobs are good, but had different approaches. Mr. Hill, who chairs the state Assembly’s biotech-nology committee, advocated streamlining regulations for the biotech industry by removing redundancies, for example, to stimulate an innovative econ-omy. People need “the right education and the right environ-ment for job creation,” he said. “I think it’s good to talk about all those values. It gets you

endorsed by business lobbying groups,” Ms. Lieber said, hint-ing that her lack of endorsement by those same groups was a plus. Since the current Legislature has cut funding for education, she said, it’s time to ask business owners to give a little bit more to their communities. She also suggested focusing on renewable energy for job creation. Finally, the candidates shared how their “educational jour-neys” influence their policies. Both overcame early academic difficulties by attending com-munity colleges, which Ms. Lieber described as the “engine of opportunity.” She would like to see curriculums emphasize individual and entrepreneurial creativity rather than multiple-choice tests. Mr. Hill, who flunked out of UC Berkeley his first year, turned to the College of San Mateo to regroup before going back to the university. “To me, the community college system really saved my educational career. I wouldn’t be here if they didn’t take everyone.” A

c o m m u n i t yCALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE COMPANY

NOTICE OF APPLICATION FILING FOR A GENERAL RATE INCREASE IN THE BEAR GULCH DISTRICT

Application No. 12-07-007

On July 5, 2012, California Water Service Company (Cal Water) fi led its General Rate Case Application 12-07-007 with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The proposed water rates if adopted as a result of this application will not go into effect until January 1, 2014. This notice is to inform cus¬tomers of Cal Water’s proposed request, and to explain how you can provide your comments to the CPUC and receive information for participating in this formal application process.

WHAT IS A GENERAL RATE CASE?Every three years, investor-owned utilities such as Cal Water are required to fi le a General Rate Case (GRC) in which the CPUC sets annual revenue levels. Annual revenue is the total amount of money a utility collects through rates in a given year for specifi c purposes. The actual rates, or level of prices, charged to customers will be determined in this proceeding, and changes in rates may be different from changes in the annual revenue received by Cal Water because rate levels also depend on estimates of future water sales. WILL THIS APPLICATION RESULT IN A RATE INCREASE? Yes. If the CPUC approves Cal Water’s request, this GRC application would increase Cal Water’s authorized revenue by $5,556,320, or 15.9%, in 2014; followed by an increase in revenue by $1,865,920, or 4.6%, in 2015; and $1,859,130, or 4.4%, in 2016.

Based on water usage patterns in your area, which have decreased signifi cantly since Cal Water’s last fi ling, the CPUC’s approval of Cal Water’s proposed application would increase the typical residential customer’s monthly bill by $18.45, or 15.1%, in 2014; followed by ad-ditional increases of $4.92, or 3.5%, in 2015; and $5.09, or 3.5%, in 2016. Most costs of operating the water system are fi xed, regardless of the level of usage. With lower water usage in your area, rates then have to be increased to cover these fi xed costs. The top reasons for the increase are:

General Offi ce personnel, the costs of which have increased faster than infl ation

Approval of the proposed rates would allow Cal Water to continue to maintain the system of water supply sources, pipes, tanks, fi re hydrants, and equipment needed to provide safe and reliable water service.

The following table shows the bill increase that a residential customer with typical water usage would see if Cal Water’s proposed rates for 2014 were adopted. (Note that bills may vary slightly due to temporary surcredits or surcharges that are in effect that month.) Also shown are the increases that a typical customer could expect in 2015 and 2016.

INFORMATION REGARDING PROPOSED 2015 AND 2016 RATESThe rates proposed for years 2015 and 2016 are calculated by increasing the proposed 2014 rates by a simplifi ed, infl ation-based method re-quired by the CPUC. Actual rates for 2015 and 2016 will be based on actual infl ation rates. Please note that Cal Water’s application also requests authority to implement the 2015 and 2016 rate increases (based on actual infl ation, and with CPUC oversight), without providing additional notice to customers at that time. This means that, if infl ation is more than our current estimates, actual rates for 2015 and 2016 may be higher than those shown in this notice.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION A copy of Cal Water’s proposed GRC Application and related exhibits may be inspected at Cal Water’s offi ce located at 3525 Alameda De Las Pulgas, Menlo Park, CA 94025. An electronic or paper copy of the proposed application and related exhibits will be furnished by Cal Water upon written request to California Water Service Company, 1720 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95112-4598. You may also call (408) 367-8200 to request for this information. Copies are also available to review at the CPUC’s Central Files Offi ce in San Francisco at 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and noon daily.

EVIDENTIARY HEARINGSThe CPUC may schedule formal Evidentiary Hearings (EHs), whereby parties of record provide testimony and are subject to cross-examina-tion before the CPUC’s Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). These hearings are open to the public, but only those who are parties of record can participate. The CPUC has its own court reporters who will record the comments of those formal parties of record participating in the EHs.

After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process, the ALJ will issue a draft decision. When the CPUC acts on this application, it may adopt all or part of Cal Water’s request, amend, or deny the application. The CPUC’s fi nal decision may be different than Cal Water’s application. The Division of Ratepayer Advocates is an independent arm of the CPUC, created by the Legisla-ture to represent the interests of all utility customers throughout California and obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reli-able and safe service levels. DRA has a multi-disciplinary professional staff with experts in accounting, economics, fi nance, and engineering. After considering all proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process, the assigned ALJ will issue a proposed draft deci-sion. When the CPUC issues a fi nal decision on the application, it may adopt, amend, or modify all or part of the ALJ’s proposed decision as written. The CPUC’s decision may be different than Cal Water’s formal request.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION HEARINGS The CPUC welcomes the public’s participation. Before acting on Cal Water’s application, the CPUC will schedule Public Participation Hearings (PPHs) to provide customers an opportunity to provide their comments regarding Cal Water’s request before the assigned CPUC Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) for this proceeding. Notifi cation of these hearings will be sent to customers of Cal Water either by a separate mailing post card or included as a bill insert. Notifi cation will also be published in local newspapers and the CPUC’s Daily Calendar. The notice will identify all of the dates, times, and locations that the PPHs are being held for your convenience and planning. You may attend any one of the district hearings that are identifi ed even if the hearing is not within your own district.

CPUC PROCESSIf you would like information to participate in this proceeding or wish to comment on this proposed application fi ling or informally protest this fi ling as a customer of Cal Water, you can do so by contacting the CPUC’s Public Advisor’s Offi ce (PAO). You may send written comments to the Public Advisor’s address at 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, or by email to public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov. You may also call by phone at (415) 703-2074 or toll-free (866) 849-8390; TTY (415) 703-5282 or (866) 836-7525. Please refer to this application num-ber A.12-07-007 in any communication, i.e., e-mail, written correspondence or phone call. These comments will become part of the formal correspondence fi le for this proceeding and will be circulated to the assigned Administrative Law Judge, Commissioners, and appropriate CPUC staff for review.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction.

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 exis-tence, priority and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance 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 mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

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 877-484-9942 or visit this Internet Web site www.USA-Foreclosure.com or www.Auction.com using the file number assigned to this case 7777.17065.
