January 2013

It was a very beautiful day weather wise nice and sunny. Approximately 1,000 people (families/children) attended this wonderful community event. The library was bustling with activity: Santa meeting with each child in attendance, hearing their special request for the holiday; arts, crafts and lovely holiday card making activities kept the children busy while they waited for their turn to visit with Santa; cheerful holiday music was being played on the grand piano by Sumis students; books were sold by the Friends of the Redwood City Public Library; and friends, families and community members socialized and enjoyed refreshments and each others company. Everyone in attendance had a wonderful time! A big thank you to the Redwood Shores Community Association and the Friends of the Redwood City Public Library for sponsoring this event and being in attendance. We certainly appreciate all that you do to support the library thank you.

We Survived the End of the World

If youre reading this, then we survived the end of the world predicted for Dec. 21, 2012. Thats just one of the many things for which we can be thankful as we start another new year. (and another cycle on the Mayan calendar?) We should also be thankful to live in such a great community as the Shores. Why do we keep asking for your email address? MONEY! It costs RSCA a minimum of about 45 just to send a postcard, and almost triple that to send a letter. An email takes less time to prepare, and there are no printing or postage costs. Each email costs just fractions of a penny. So we can send information much more frequently than we do postcards or letters, and

Dear Sandpiper Families and Friends

December 14, 2012 Dear Sandpiper Families and Friends,

In Memoriam To The Sandy Hook Elementary Shootings From Our Esteemed RWS School Principals
December 16, 2012 Dear Redwood Shores Parents,

Dear Redwood Shores Parents

I wish you all the most uneventful holidays ahead. Whatever you celebrate may it be with the people you love and full of happiness and joy. I will look forward to seeing you all in 2013. Have a wonderful Holiday Break and thank you for sharing your wonderful children. Warmly, Erica Gilbert, Sandpiper School Principal

Please join me in hugging your children a little tighter tonight. If you are going to talk to your children about this, please do so in an empowering way so children do not feel like they are victims, before anything even happens to them. Here are a couple websites that the Belmont Police Department shared with me that contains information for parents regarding advice on how to speak with children about incidents like this one: www.childrenscolorado.org/news/inthenews/2012-news/talkingto-kids-about-school-shootings.aspx and www.schoolcounselor.org/content.asp?contentid=672

Please know that though nothing can prepare for an incident such as this. We at Sandpiper have an emergency plan for fire, earthquake, code blue (shelter in place), and code red (an intruder on campus). This is definitely a reminder to again review all the procedures with staff and include students in a drill in 2013. We do not want to scare our children, but want them to know what to do in the case of an incident. We will let you know before we do a code blue or code red drill.

My topic for this months note to you changed this morning after hearing about the shooting at the elementary school in Connecticut. What a tragedy for those families and that community. My heartfelt compassion and prayers go out to them. It is another reminder that we are raising our children in a world much different from the one we grew up in.

So, how do we speak to our children about what happened? How do we explain the events? Maybe, we dont. Perhaps we listen to our children first and respond to their questions, answering with truth. We must take into consideration the developmental age of the child as well as to the amount of information we share with them. I want to assure you that your childs teacher will be ready tomorrow to talk with students about any safety concerns and will go over routines to maintain a safe environment at school. We will practice our familiar disaster drills, including what to do when an intruder is on campus. Doors to classrooms lock from the inside and shades drawn over the windows to deter visibility into the classrooms. In case of an evacuation, our students will walk with teachers over to the Sandpiper Community Center. Our psychologist, Anne Burrows, is on staff to help with any sensitive issues caused by anxiety or fears.

I hope you have found some enjoyable, fun time with your children this weekend, in spite of all the tragic news about Sandy Hook Elementary. We know how precious our children are to us and grieve alongside those parents who have lost their children to an unspeakable, horrible end to a promising life. We cannot fathom the thought.

The most important need that our children have is routine and normalcy. School will go on with performances this week. We will enjoy celebrations and joy over costumes and the delight of seeing parents smiles, camera shots, and laughter.

Today, Redwood City is in the process of transforming ourselves. This transformation is not an accident it is one that involved many years of community involvement, strategic thinking, planning, and foresight. Over 1,000 units of new housing is under construction in and around downtown, and another 1,000 units are in conversation. Ground breaking will occur next year on Depot Circle, a new 200,000 sf plus, Class A office building. A number of start-up tech companies are calling Redwood City home, while others are moving to Redwood City from other locations, and CalTrain ridership is setting new records every month. At the same time, community involvement and events in our living room continue to grow. Our Friday night

RWCS Renaissance Not An Accident

May your hearts continue to carry the joy, hope and love for one another, Cherie Ho, Redwood Shores Elementary School Principal

Though this tragedy affects us in different ways, we see the heroes who have come forward to respond to the needs of the Newtown community. We pray and send our heartfelt condolences to all the families and grieve along with them.

Happy New Year to everyone in the Shores and Redwood City and cheers to great things for all of us in 2013! Submitted by Vice Mayor, Jeff Gee

There are many to thank for the renaissance of Redwood City. Planning for the future is never easy, nor is it a popularity contest. I am fortunate to be a part of our Citys renaissance and I am very thankful to those that came before me that had the vision and fortitude to not settle for the way things are.

concerts are known throughout the region. Our many festivals bring thousands of visitors every year to our City, the 4th of July Celebration and Hometown Holidays (both sponsored by community organizations), celebrate many aspects of our community.

Mallards pair in the fall and are generally monogamous, but not always. When they do pair, often one or several males end up left out. This can result in a group of males ganging up on an isolated female. They will chase and peck at her until she finally is exhausted at which point they take turns mating with her. Male Mallards have also been known to chase other male ducks and even each other during the mating season. Despite all this violence, the nest location is sought out by the pair who fly together searching for a suitable site. They look for a site on dry land that is concealed, if possible, by high grass or overhanging brush. Then the female builds the nest, incubates the eggs and takes care of the ducklings. * Migrating flocks of Mallards have been estimated to be flying at 55 miles per hour. Some interesting facts about Mallards:

Mallards are found in both fresh and salt-water wetlands. They prefer these shallow waters, which we have in abundance here, where they can dabble tipping forward in the water to eat underwater plants. The rest of the Mallards diet is made up of small invertebrates as well as many varieties of seeds, roots and tubers.

The male Mallard (called a drake) has a distinctive glossy green head and white throat collar. It is grey-brown on its wings and belly. The rear is black with white borders. Females have brown-speckled plumage. The male has a distinct yellow beak while the females is a dull orange-brown color. Both male and female Mallards have distinct iridescent purple blue speculum feathers edged with white, which are prominent in flight or at rest. Like Canada geese, Mallard ducks molt (lose their feathers) during the summer.

The Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) duck is found throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Mallards have long been hunted for food, and almost all domestic ducks are descended from this species. The Mallard is also known to cross-breed with several other wild duck species making for some interesting color combinations. If you see a duck that looks sort of like a Mallard but has some white or beige markings, it is a hybrid.

Redwood Shores Were For the Birds

Remember: Teach your children to not touch, feed or annoy birds or other wildlife. They are a valuable asset to our community. Please pick up plastic bags and other plastic refuse. Birds can get entangled in them and starve. References: Sequoia Audubon Society, Wikipedia, The Cornell Lab of Ornithology website www.allaboutbirds.org Submitted by Ramona Ambrozic

Their body feathers molt into a concealing eclipse plumage that can make them hard to see during this vulnerable time.

Welcome To Our 48-Inch Force Main Reliability Improvement Project Updates

The South Bayside System Authority (SBSA) will be constructing the 48-inch Force Main Reliability Improvement Project, which is located within the cities of San Carlos and Redwood City, beginning in the first or second quarter of 2013. Construction will take about 16 months. 48-Inch Pipeline Project at a Glance and Pipeline Project Eyes 2013 Start

* Mallards shed all their flight feathers at the end of the breeding season and are flightless for 34 weeks during the summer.

* The standard duck quack is actually the sound of the female. Male Mallards dont quack; they make a dull rasping sound.

The SBSA Commission has approved this project which will be getting underway in 2013. We want to keep all interested and affected parties up to date, so we will be sending these updates when we have something to alert you about.

One of the biggest challenges for dog owners is training their dog to void outdoors. Using common sense and a consistent pattern of training supported with a positive reward system of treats and praise for well executed behavior, this goal can be accomplished in two or three weeks. Avoid using pee pads in your home as this merely delays the learning process and confuses your dog. The puppy cannot differentiate between pee pads and the Sunday paper or magazines and homework left lying on the floor. If you have an older dog youre trying to housebreak, use the same process as you would for a puppy, but expect it to take longer if the dog has never been housebroken. If your dog was housebroken in the past and now is having messes inside, get a vet check to make sure the dog doesnt have any number of health problems that could affect his elimination patterns. Dont vary the dogs diet and beware of giving too many rich treats or table scraps that could cause diarrhea. Until the dog is housebroken, he needs to be within your line of sight, so he doesnt sneak into another room to deposit a surprise. Use baby gates or a crate to confine the dog or tether the dog to your waist with a leash. Now if the dog messes in the house, it is your fault for not taking him outside frequently enough. Learn your dogs signals. When you see your dog starting to sniff the floor, circle around or squat, pick him up and take him outside without saying anything. Praise him when he finishes the job outside in his spot. Take the dog outside first thing in the morning, after twenty minutes of play, immediately after meals, and last thing at night. Determine where you want the dog to void and clip on the leash to take him to that same spot. Say, Hurry up and go potty. Praise the dog when the task is completed. You can play some with the dog afterwards as a reward for good behavior. Dogs are stimulated to void by the smell of urine and feces, so going to the same spot speeds up the process of voiding. Some female dogs are hesitant to void outside their yard-another good reason to go to the same area in your yard. Dogs will re-mark the same

spot on the carpet if you have used an ammonia-based cleaner, so use an enzyme-based cleaner and club soda to clean up. While puppies can sleep through the night without voiding after about 3-4 months of age, dont expect puppies less than 6 months of age to hold it more than two to three hours during the day. Arrange for someone to let the dog out while you are away. Once the dog is, he can have the run of the house; and he will be a welcome companion for travel.

Most parents are aware of the damage to the teeth caused by putting a child to sleep with a bottle of milk or other sweetened beverage. The condition it can cause, baby bottle cavities, usually involves the upper teeth because the tongue protects the lower teeth during bottle-feeding. These decayed baby teeth can become infected, and may need to be removed. Now, a recent study suggests that the prolonged use of spill-proof cups with bill-shaped extensions can also cause baby bottle cavities. Putting a child to sleep with either a bottle or a spill-proof cup can cause damage to the teeth. The reason is that milk or other carbohydrate containing liquids stay on the teeth and allow bacteria that are normally present in the mouth to attack the teeth by forming plaque acids. These acids create holes in the teeth (cavities) and can lead to deeper infections of the tiny nerves within them. The susceptibility to cavities is also increased because the flow of protective saliva is greatly reduced during sleep. A recent study identified 186 children who used either a bottle, spill-proof cup, or were breast-fed after one year of age. The children drank a variety of sweetened beverages. The results confirmed that drinking from a spill-proof cup was just as damaging as from a bottle. Infants and young children should not be put to bed with a bottle or spill-proof cup containing milk or any other sweetened beverage. If your child must use a bottle or spill-proof cup, try substituting water or something unsweetened, otherwise use a pacifier instead. It is also important to clean your babys teeth with a moist cloth (from 6-12 months) or a childsized toothbrush with a tiny amount of toothpaste (from 1-4 years) before bed.

SPILL-PROOF CUPS

After recovering from the shock and humiliation, I spent the next 24 hours chasing down a new passport in San Francisco (that was an experience), and finally I was headed to Rome, Italy. I missed our pilgrimage bus heading to Assisi by a few hours, but I spent the night in Rome and soon caught up with the group by train the next day.

The trip got off to a rocky start when I showed up at the airport and tried to check in and was told that my passport was invalid. Turns out it had expired four days earlier! Yeah, I could not believe it either. Was I going to miss this pilgrimage that I had paid for and planned for all these many months?!!

This was tops on my bucket list, mostly because this patron saint of San Francisco seems like such a saint for our times with his love for creation, shunning of materialism, and even crossing borders to chat with the Muslims during the crusades! Learning about St. Clare turned out to be an added bonus.

I traveled to Assisi, Italy, last spring with a group of 27 people, mostly from Portland, Oregon, and mostly Catholic. There were five of us Presbyterians in the bunch, and we all had one common goal. We were on a pilgrimage to walk in the footsteps of St. Francis and St. Clare.

The Pilgrims Creed

There were many riches on that trip too many to mention here but the one that has stayed with me the most is the Pilgrims Creed that was read to us one day by Franciscan Sister Mary Jo Chavez.

I dont have it written down where I can see it; I have it memorized. And the wisdom of it leads me on my pilgrim way every day, especially when traffic is moving slow and Im stressed out about my next meeting, or frustrated that things arent working out the way I hoped. The creed wasnt written by St. Francis or St. Clare, but I picked it up walking in their footsteps, and I am so grateful for all of it even getting a new passport! Mary Graves is the pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church in San Carlos (www.trinity-pres.org) and a resident in Redwood Shores since 1996.

I am not in control I am not in a hurry I walk in faith and hope I greet everyone in peace I bring back only what God gives me

More and more studies are supporting that Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are great modalities for treating pain and more specifically sciatica. In a recent study 50 people ranging in age from 15 to 51 were treated with acupuncture once a day every three to four days until ten treatments were given. The treatments were uniform among all the patients each time. After the 10 treatments the patients we assessed as being cured, or the treatments we assessed as being markedly effective, effective, or failed depending on the level of symptom relief. For example, cured patients were assessed as having zero symptoms associated with sciatica and no relapse of symptoms for six months following treatment.

The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in the whole body. It originates in the low back, runs through the pelvis and down the leg. This long and large nerve is becoming a household name and in this case its popularity is not so appreciated. Sciatica is a condition that results from pressure on, or damage to, this nerve. When the sciatic nerve gets irritated a host of uncomfortable feelings can manifest along its long pathway including numbness, tingling, weakness, burning pain and electrical sensations. In extreme cases this pain can be debilitating.

Sciatica - Acupuncture can help!

By Sarah Allen L.Ac

Nearly all patients experienced at least moderate pain relief due to acupuncture treatment. Forty percent of the patients in this study were assessed as cured after the ten treatments and fifty-six percent experienced effective, or markedly effective results following the study.

Stretching and lifestyle changes can also be effective in helping to alleviate symptoms of sciatica. Dont let sciatica inhibit your life anymore. Let your acupuncturist help you to create a well-rounded treatment plan that is right for you. Sarah Allen, L.Ac. practices at Premier Chiropractic Clinic in Redwood Shores.

If you would like to be included in future Health Newsletters, log onto www.PremierChiropractic.com and sign up with your email address to receive our monthly newsletters by email. Information provided courtesy of Acupuncture Today www.acupuncturetoday.com

In conclusion the researchers stated that the acupuncture points they chose for treatments were on the meridians that run along the sciatic nerve and their effectiveness was directly correlated to this fact.

These guidelines apply to adults, ages 18 and older:

Aerobic activity (cardio): Aim for 60 minutes daily. Active play is the easiest way to get your kids to exercise. How about a game of tag? Brisk walking, running, riding bicycles and soccer are all good examples of aerobic activities for kids. Muscle strengthening: Try three times weekly as part of the 60 minutes of daily exercise. This includes gymnastics, push-ups and sit-ups. Bone strengthening: Target three times weekly as part of the 60 minutes of daily exercise. Examples of bone-strengthening activities include jumping rope and running.

These guidelines apply to children, ages 6 to 17:

Here are some guidelines on physical activity and tips to make fitness a fun part of your life. How much is enough? It depends. If youre already at a healthy weight and want to maintain it, as well as stay fit and strong, follow the guidelines below. If youre trying to lose weight, what and how much you eat has a bigger impact on weight loss than exercise. Youll also need to exercise for about twice as much time as the guidelines below.

By By Linda Shiue, M.D. Happy New Year! What better time to make a fresh start on fitness? Lots of gyms will be offering special deals on memberships, since getting in shape is a popular New Years resolution. Since were lucky enough to live in the Bay Area with its mild climate, you can also get and stay fit just by heading outside.

Lets Move

Before beginning a new exercise routine, its best to visit your doctor and get personalized recommendations. Heres to a healthy, fit New Year!

Think you dont have time to exercise? Try taking a break from your desk and take a brisk walk outside, or up and down the stairs for 10 minutes, three times a day. It will relieve stress, replenish your creative and physical energy, and add up to the 30 minutes you need five days a week.

When it comes to exercise, more is more. Doing more than the above amounts will provide even greater health benefits, and youll feel great.

Vigorous intensity exercise for 75 minutes weekly: Anything that brings your heart rate up and makes you breathe hard enough that you cant say more than a few words at a time counts. This can include jogging or running; swimming laps; fast cycling; hiking or cycling up hills; playing singles tennis; playing basketball, soccer or hockey; jumping rope; and martial arts. Muscle strengthening: Do exercises two times weekly to strengthen all of the major muscle groups, including legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders and arms. This can include lifting weights, using resistance bands, doing push-ups and sit-ups, heavy gardening involving digging, and yoga.

OR

Aerobic activity (cardio): Aim for 30 minutes a day, five days a week, or a total of 150 weekly minutes of moderate-intensity activities. These are activities that should bring your heart rate up and make you break a sweat. You should be able to talk normally. Brisk walks, dancing, mowing the lawn, gardening, cycling, water aerobics and doubles tennis all count.

Dear Redwood City Community Members:

For me, the holidays are a time to reflect on the things that have real meaning. These include family, friends, and the great community where I live, and how we are all part of something bigger than ourselves. You are what makes Redwood City such a great place to live and work. Our neighborhoods, our businesses, our residents and visitors all contribute to what makes a strong community, and Im grateful to be part of the City we call home. As 2012 draws to a close, I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your families the very happiest of holidays.

Ive seen a bunch of people littering all over the place. This makes me angry. The worst offense was at a local grocery store when someone had the nerve to wipe their nose and throw the dirty tissue on a pile of apples. I think people who litter are lazy and ignorant to not throw their own trash away. I think smokers probably litter the most because they throw the cigarette butts on the ground. Other people that litter come from drivers, demolition cans and trucks that dont tie down their loads. It seems that people who litter are really unaware of the impact their actions can have on the environment. Harry, Redwood Shores resident

Dear Editor,

Serving our Clients Since 1998

I cannot think of another job or profession with the crazy hours and an even crazier schedule then pet sitting! We often work 7 days a week, including all the holidays. Yes, the hours are less than ideal. I do not know of a pet sitter, who at one time or another, has not grumbled about the craziness of their pet sitting schedule. But, I remind myself, I still have the best job ever! I get to experience a lot of things I would miss out on if I still was confined to an office cubicle. During my pet sitting outings, I get to enjoy the local waterfowl. Yesterday, for example, the ducks were sitting in the water just bouncing along. It was a cold, but calm day, with no wind. I catch sight of a bird, skimming the waters surface and then landing, very gracefully, on the water. A Blue Heron will sometimes appear, flying from one side of the shore to the other, depending on how close I am getting near him. Although I never get that close to him I am on the walkway and nowhere near the waters edge but I guess he either is very cautious or he enjoys this game of tag. During my walks, I sometimes encounter a jack rabbit. Had I not seen him bound across the path, I would not be able to tell the little brown patch hiding in the bushes was the tip of his ear and not a bush. I marvel at the rabbits ability to blend in amongst the surrounding shrubs and not be seen. When my route takes me into the hills of Belmont and San Mateo, I am often greeted with deer crossing the roadway. Occasionally, I will come upon a deer lying very contentedly in a clients backyard. Looking through the window, I marvel at how the deer is really only a few feet from me, with just a window separating us. During the holidays I am often in neighborhoods that have gone all out in decorating their homes. I never know where these displays of lights and decorations will appear, so going into a new neighborhood often turns up surprises for me, bringing many a smile to my face. And, not to be outdone Im often entertained by the dogs and cats you have entrusted to our care. I never know what cute trick or habit they are going to display for me. They can turn a so-so day into a great day for me, making me smile all the more! I really do have the best job ever! This is dedicated to Ranger. I will never forget you.

1. Weed out the baggies, saggies or pinchies. If it doesnt fit, you dont want it in your closet. 2. Give your shoes a spa day take them in for a polish (yes, women, we need to do this too!) and replace heel tips if necessary. 3. Retake your measurements so youll be a better shopper. This will be extra-valuable if you do a lot of shopping on-line where you may need to compare your numbers to the sizing numbers used by various manufacturers, especially non-US sizing. 4. Browse some magazines and clip out images that especially appeal to you. Spend some time thinking about what drew you to them was it color, shape, texture? Think about incorporating some of those aspects into your wardrobe. 5. Visit a store or two youve never shopped in before venture out of your comfort zone and try on 5 items youve never thought of wearing in the past. Surprise yourself! 6. Dont get stale get style! Get regular infusions of energizing ideas and motivation (such as signing up for my newsletter and blog.) If you need some help getting started this year, give me a call.

Six Ways To Resolve in 2013

From LYNNs KITCHEN

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN POT PIE (Preheat oven to 350 degrees F) Adapted from Barefoot Contessa For the Pastry Crust: 3 Cups All Purpose Flour 1 Teaspoons Kosher Salt 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder Cup Vegetable Shortening Pound Cold Unsalted Butter, Diced to 2/3 Cup Cold Water 1 Egg, beaten with 1 Tablespoon Water, for Egg Wash Flaked Sea Salt and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper Mix the flour, salt and baking power in the bowl of a food processor fitted with steel blade. Add the shortening and butter and mix quickly with your fingers until each piece is covered with flour. Pulse 10-15 times or until the butter is the size of peas. With motor running, add the ice water and process only until the dough is moistened and it just comes together. Dump the flour mixture onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball, then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. For the Filling: 3 Whole (6 split) Chicken Breasts (Bone In / Skin On) 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil Kosher Salt Freshly Ground Black Pepper 5 Cups Chicken Stock 2 Chicken Bouillon Cubes 12 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (1 and sticks of butter) 2 Yellow Onions, chopped (about 2 Cups) Cup All Purpose Flour Cup Heavy Cream 2 Cups Medium Sliced Carrots, blanched for 2 minutes 1 Package Frozen Peas (10 ounce package) About 2 Cups 1 Cups Frozen Small Onions Cup Minced Fresh Parsley Place chicken breast on a baking sheet and rub with olive oil. Sprinkle with Salt & Pepper, and roast in 350 degree oven for 35-45 minutes, or until cooked through. (Time will depend upon size of chicken breasts!) Set aside until cool, then remove meat from bones and discard skin. Cut of pull apart the chicken into bite sized pieces you should have 4 to 6 cups of chicken. In a saucepan, heat the chicken stock and dissolve the bouillon cubes in the stock. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter and saut onions over medium low heat for 10-15 minutes until translucent. Add the flour and cook over low heat, stirring continually, for 2 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock to the sauce and simmer for 1 minute more over low heat, stirring until thickened. Add 2 Teaspoons Salt, Teaspoon Pepper, and the heavy cream. Add the diced chicken, carrots, peas, onions, and parsley. Mix well. Bump up heat on Oven from 350 degrees to 375 degrees. Divide the filling equally among 4 ovenproof bowls. Divide the dough into four equal pieces, and roll each into an 8 inch circle. Brush the outside edges of each bowl with your egg wash, and then place the dough on top. Trim the circle to approximately inch larger than the diameter of the bowl, and crimp the dough to fold over the sides, pressing it to make it stick. Brush the top of the dough on each bowl with the egg wash, and make several small slits in the top for steam to escape while baking. Sprinkle top with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Place on baking sheet and bake for one hour, or until the top is golden brown and filling bubbling out. Enjoy! Lynn has been a RSCA Board Member since 1994

WINE APPRECIATION
The other day I was in a local wine shop, browsing around, scavenging through bins and racks, doing my wine thing, when I noticed a man to my right looking rather helpless and bewildered. Gee ... so many to choose from, he said, his voice wavering with woeful uncertainty. By Tom Barras

Page 25

Oh... he said, (which said it all) and then slinked away to another part of the store and returned to staring blankly at all the pretty labels. Unfortunately, rather than assist him, I inadvertently may have pushed him deeper into wines black hole of fear and intimidation.

Learn the grape. Once you know the grape, you know the wine, I said in my most authoritative sounding tones, assuming that once he heard that dusty wine axiom, that those clouds of ignorance and indecision hovering over him would suddenly dissipate; that his vinous compass would thereafter point him in the correct direction; and from that day forward he would always make self-confident and well-informed wine choices.

Yes, I answered. They have quite a varied selection here. He then uttered the inevitablethe shy, painful utterance that springs from every overwhelmed neophytes lips, But how do you know what to buy?

Forgive me, if Im unduly repetitive about the importance of a key ingredient in the pursuit of wine enlightenment, but when it comes to being sensitive to wines basic structure, to being aware of what makes a particular vino tick, to recognizing the differences betweenand similarities tovarious wines, it all comes down to those color-laden clusters clinging to that gnarled, perfectly pruned grape vine. More specifically, the single most important item that determines the way a wine looks, smells, feels and tastes is, (drum roll, please!) the underlying grape from which the wine is made. Duh, you say? I say reread that previous sentence and commit it to memory. (Youll dazzle em at cocktail parties.)

Moreover, and quite importantly, when youre exploring a particular wine, trying to understand its underlying character, as well as deciding whether it appeals to you or not, please dont fault or reject it for what it is not. Dont dismiss Beaujolais, for example, for being light bodied and breezy and unlike a richer, riper California Merlot. Similarly, you shouldnt avoid a Zinfandel for being large scaled and brambly and so unlike, say, a smooth and fruity Pinot Noir. And, likewise, dont deride a crisp, herbal Sauvignon Blanc for being so unlike your go to buttery Chardonnay. Each of themand countless other wineshave its own, distinctive personality, and each should be celebrated for what it isas well as for what it is not. That is, I believe, the essence of wine appreciation.

Can My Kids Play On The Street?

Page 26

Some time back we were exposed to the ire of a neighbor who refused to slow down for the kids playing on street in front of my home and loudly objected to the kids playing on the street. So here is the question can my kids legally play on the streets?

Disclaimer this is not legal advice. Are the children violating any laws by playing on the streets? Not directly, but there are many issues that you need to be aware of:

Join Valria for music and stories for ages 1-4. Saturday January 19 at 11:00am The most talented birds in town! Enjoy a fast-paced, upbeat show with amazing tricks! Sponsored by the Friends of the Library

I encourage you to discuss this issue openly with your neighbors and your kids so that we can be a safe and considerate community. By Sapna Singh, Redwood Shores Resident

While this is sad and restricts our kids from being kids and feeling safe in their community, this is the truth of our times.

a) The adult, parent or caretaker supervising the child is to provide adequate supervision at all times. It is generally not advisable to leave any child under the age of 12 without supervision. However, one must consider a childs age and maturity level in making that decision. You do not need to be physically present in the vicinity at all times but you must ensure the safety of the children by outlining the ground rules and making sure they will be followed at all times. b)You should make sure that the kids do not generate excessive and unreasonable noise at any time, especially between 8.00 p.m. and 8.00 a.m. because that will be a violation of the Noise Regulation Code of Ordinance of Redwood City. If this happens, you are supposed to be given notice to be able to abate before a complaint can be made. c) Ensure safety of the children and others including drivers, bicyclists and other pedestrians on the road. It is illegal to block or impede traffic (like with toys or sports equipment) so care must be taken that kids are alert about any approaching traffic from either direction and are able to move to the sidewalk without endangering themselves or others. Remember cars do have the right of way except in a crosswalk. d)Your kids might be playing on the sidewalk but may need to cross the street occasionally and may do so anywhere along the road in the absence of a clearly marked crosswalk or traffic control signs. In California, a pedestrian crosswalk is implicit at every intersection, and is usually not marked in residential areas. e) Drivers must follow the speed limit (25 miles per hour in most residential zones, 15 miles an hour in alleys) and the stop signs and they must slow down for all pedestrians on the street. A driver is responsible at all times for safe operation of his vehicle and is legally obligated to drive safely in order to not cause any bodily injury at all times. But some drivers might still drive unsafely negligently or intentionally. These are the type of drivers that make the streets unsafe for our kids to play. f) Lastly, Children at play signs have no legal validity and will have no effect on such drivers who do not even follow the law in any case.
