T he Ventura neighborhood is its own diverse community, and not just ethnically. With kids riding along the bike path, houses of

individual styles and different families on every street, Ventura is unlike any other area in Palo Alto.

“It makes it seem like a real place, other than the rest of Palo Alto,” Kirsten Flynn said, adding that the richer side of Palo Alto is mainly high-lighted for business and jobs, and not family or community.

bikes,” Flynn said. “But that’s not why we bought the house, just a plus,” she added jokingly.

In 1986, Guy Matthews bought his house on Park Boulevard also in the Ventura neighborhood. As a single

parent with a 4-year-old daughter, he said it was the only house he could afford at the time. “Cheapest or second cheapest,” he added.

Although Matthews chose to move to Ventura because of the af-fordable prices, he said at the time, the neighborhood was very diverse and still is. “There’s quite a mixture

of people getting along, partying together, raising kids together,” he added.

Matthews also said Ventura is an interesting area to roam. “It’s residential, but multi-family. But parts of it are also commercial,” he added.

Like Matthews, Betty Glass has

also been a resident of the Ventura neighborhood for quite some time.

Glass lives in a one-story home on Park Boulevard with her husband and kids, “although most are out on their own already,” she said.

She said she moved to Ventura from Redwood City, and knew from the beginning that it was the best place for her and her husband to raise a family.

“I saw the house, we liked it, and bought it. ... That was 46 years ago,” she said. “So far it’s been a pretty good neighborhood,” she added.

In her long years of living in Ven-tura, Glass said she has had many neighbors come and go, most of them relocating, in need of larger homes for their growing families. She isn’t planning on moving any time soon, she added, because she is happy where she is.

On the other hand, Ventura has begun to have “house flippers” in the neighborhood, which are ac-cording to Flynn, those who buy the homes in Ventura only to renovate and then sell. Meanwhile, no one is living there.

“They don’t honor the way it looked before... no architectural thought,” she said.

Ventura deserves its own neigh-borhood association, which could change and improve that, her hus-band added.

Premier Old Palo Alto

Having just watched the re-cent documentary “The Last Mountain,” it was disturb-

ing to learn about the continual and literal destruction (known as “mountain top removal”) of the Appalachian Mountains. This practice aggressively digs into the buried layers of coal below the earth’s surface, in order to culti-vate enough coal for huge elec-trical plants to burn the coal and manufacture electrical power.

I reflected on the fact that it seems like almost all of my new purchases have a charging cord on them that must be used every night: my iPad, my cell phone, my Bluetooth. I could go on. That is what we are supposed to do, right? Move away from gas and oil to re-duce all the CO2 coming from a dirty energy source?

As a Virginia girl, my first expe-riences hiking were in the Appa-lachian Mountains, affectionately referred to as the “Blue Ridge Mountains.” They are absolutely gorgeous and awe-inspiring. They make one feel peaceful, emotion-ally restored and connected to the land. There are families in the area who disembarked in the 1600s from the first ships to arrive in

America, and they haven’t left the Blue Ridge since settling in the New World. Today, many of these Vir-ginians con-

tinually see the heavy machinery in use and hear the tons of explo-sives used daily that destroy their sacred ground. And yes, they use electricity, too.

The newer green energy sources cannot come fast enough. I’m still waiting for the all-electric sedan by Tesla to debut on the market this year, so I can drive 300 miles without an electric charge. Yes, I will need even more electricity daily. But how much time will pass before the more benign so-lar and wind energy sources feed a larger portion of our insatiable desire for more power?

Right now there is a “wind rush” going on, just like the for-mer gold rush and oil rush that happened in this country in prior centuries. And thankfully, this is a worldwide “wind rush.” There are present and future conflicts that will surface with this pursuit

of wind, as the very large, tower-ing wind turbines are land-based. Wind farms require large tracts of land and the blades on these turbines are up to 30 yards long, which translates to mean three first downs for the 49ers. That’s long!

It isn’t objectionable to see these wind farms when I drive toward Sacramento or Palm Springs. They look a lot more friendly than the oil derricks seen in Texas. Yes, there is a problem with the unfor-tunate deaths of migrating birds and the turbines are visually de-manding. But it seems that while there is no perfect energy solution, some are less imperfect than oth-ers.

The exciting thing about wind energy from my perspective is that the Middle East with all its perpetual conflicts will soon not have a stranglehold on the world’s economy at large, as we move away from oil as our major energy source. Africa, Asia and Latin America may become the new centers of energy production with new wind-based farm devel-opment. One of the reasons wind has been given a kick start is the national and international carbon “offsets” that encourage countries who are part of the Kyoto Accord to move to cleaner energy devel-opment. This is a great example of how cooperative nations (via their governments) can help solve

the world’s global warming prob-lem with a “carrot” instead of a “stick.”

Mexico has the potential wind energy capacity of 71 gigawatts. This is 40 percent more power than the country’s entire electrici-ty-generating need (including gas, coal and hydropower). Its national goal in 2010 was to double its so-lar and wind energy in two years. (The Isthmus of Tehuantapec is the windiest area in the world; de-velopers have been cueing up to buy or control areas such as this to reap future benefits.) Wind energy in Mexico has quadrupled over the last two years and has made its total renewable production of energy more than one fourth of its total electric output.

The United States currently has the highest percentage of power from wind generation, but then Americans require a lot more power than Mexico. We need to wrestle more quickly and effec-tively with our NIMBY (not in my backyard) issues about wind and solar and get on board with developing these cleaner forms of energy. Our desire for power and our population are only going one way — UP!

Part-Time Facilities Assistant Gofer the Gold! (Part-Time Facilities Assistant) Are a tidy, organized go-getter? Do you get warm fuzzies when your help makes someone else's day better? We’re a medium-sized funky tech com-pany in Silicon Valley with strong family roots. We work hard, play hard and, yeah, sometimes we’re messy. That's why we need you! We're looking for someone part-time to: * Help us put everything in its place. This means keeping our office clutter-free, breaking down boxes, sorting our storage and fitness rooms, stocking and maintaining snacks and drinks, etc. Like keeping your room clean, except we pay you to do it. * Be our brawn. You’ll deliver and move packages, furniture, and equipment for our Facilities and Office Manager. You’ll carry groceries for our chefs, etc. We help you make muscles. * Help our kitchen staff and caterers with setup, breakdown and cleanup, laundry, bussing and other essential tasks that keep us (and you!) happy and fed. * Act as backup for our Facilities and Office Manager. Answer the front door, get the phone when we’re out of hands, cover the front desk, or whatever else we need. * Be handy. We need someone to hang pictures (super-important for a photo company like us), set up shelving and furniture, replace bulbs and batteries, deliver donations, remove e-waste, sell stuff online, and help prepare for meet-ings and events. * Connect us to the outside. Prepare outgoing mail and take it to the post office or courier. * And if you’re geeky, you can help our IT guys wipe HDs, set up desktops and laptops, install software and organize their storage areas. Do you have: * A high school diploma (OK if you're in HS/university right now) * Experience working in an office * Experience doing the stuff listed above * Basic computer knowledge: word processing, email, web-based applica-tions, etc. * Great oral and written communica-tion skills * Organizational skills and follow-

through * Multitasking abilities and know how to prioritize * Enough strength to lift 55 lbs * A driver's license and your own vehicle * Availability to work 8:30 AM - 2:30 PM If so, email your resume and maybe you can help us thrive in our digs in Mountain View, CA. We can’t wait to meet you! [email protected]

AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: SHALAH S. WOLFSOHNCase No.: 112PR170149 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may other-wise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Shalah S. Wolfson. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Robert Van Fredenberg in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA CLARA. The Petition for Probate requests that: Robert Van Fredenberg be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The peti-tion requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. 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 March 15, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 3 of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, located at 191 N. First St., San Jose, CA, 95113. 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 pro-vided 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/ Nicholas P.
