Shattered Neighborhood SchoolsThis year, the vision of neighborhood schools for Redwood
Shores (RWS) children was shattered when 26 RWS families
received letters on March 30, 2013 assigning their children to
Mae Nesbit Elementary School for the 2013-2014 school year.
This school assignment letter was a shocker for all the affected
families as there was little notice or warning. Despite our due
diligence in reaching out to school officials, district administra-
tors and utilizing the district website to determine school assign-
ment, we all came away reassured that our children would be
attending one of the two neighborhood schools.
Unbeknownst to us, this is the second year of over-enrollment
in the Shores Schools. Many of us have since encountered fam-
ilies who are anticipating enrolling their child into kindergarten
for the 2014-2015 school year with the same false confidence
that their child would be assigned one of the neighborhood
schools. The reality is that the no boundary policy passed in a
leap of faith by the BRSSD in 2011, has in essence created a
moving flexible boundary. Families as far east into RWS as
Marlin Shores have already been impacted for this coming
school year. Comments from Board members were clear that
not only do they want these 26 kindergarteners permanently at
Nesbit, but they also expect the families to fully immerse them-
selves and pour all our energy into our new neighborhood
school. They are adamantly opposed to us keeping one foot
in while looking for a way out. As one board member informed
us recently you didnt have a choice to begin with referencing
the unexpectedly high enrollment in RWS.
Walking and biking to school will no longer be a reality if chil-
dren are forced to navigate across the freeway overpass while
dodging cars merging onto the on ramps (1.7 miles or 33 min-
utes) or use the bay trails and pedestrian overpass across high-way 101 (2.4 miles or 45 minutes) from Dolphin Park. The
alternative is Sandpiper (1.4 miles or 27 minutes) using large
pedestrian walkways insulated from the thoroughfare.
There are a total of 921 RWS children enrolled for the 2013-
2014 school year. According to the 2010 US Census data, there
was an estimated 1700 children under the age of 9 residing in
RWS. Also, as housing prices rebound, it is expected that more
and more of the 15% older adults in RWS will sell their homes
and retire elsewhere, placing even more demand on limited
capacity as young families seek out schools with high API
scores.
All parents of pre-school age children should explore all options
and not be caught unaware as many of the 26 families were. I urge
all of Redwood Shores to be more proactive in helping to find
solutions for a looming enrollment crisis. Consider running for the
school board this coming November as there will be 3 contested
seats and stay informed by attending board meetings. We have
started an advocacy group called Redwood Shores Schools for
Redwood Shores Kids. Our mission is to work collaborativelywith the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District and Board of
Trustees to ensure that kids in Redwood Shores will attend
Redwood Shores elementary schools.

REDWOOD SHORESWERE FOR THE BIRDS
What to do? Theres a duck nest in my flower pot!
In case you havent noticed, it is nesting season for many Redwood
Shores birds, including our Mallard ducks. The Mallard (Anas
platyrhynchos) is one of the few wild ducks that seems to have no
problem nesting around homes, including in flower pots and even
inside open barbeques.
Wherever they have chosen to nest, the female Mallard typically
lays an egg a day until she has accumulated a dozen, called aclutch. (Maybe that is why we like to buys eggs in dozensjust a
thought). As she accumulates more eggs, she will lay twigs and grass
and her own down feathers to both insulate and camouflage her nest.
Unlike some other water fowl, the female Mallard doesnt sit
patiently on the eggs until they hatch. In fact, she doesnt incubate
them at all during the laying stage. Incubation begins when she has
laid her clutch and lasts for about a month. During this time, the
female will incubate for several hours a day and then go off to feed.
All the viable eggs, when ready to hatch, usually do so within a 24
hour period. Shortly after hatching, the mother will lead them off to
her favorite pond to feed them. Occasionally, a mother Mallard will
lead the babies to the community swimming pool. If we knew why,
we would tell you. This can be fatal for the babies because while they
can jump in they often cant jump out. If this happens at your pool,
you will need to scoop the babies out with a net or build a ramp for
them a metal pool chair will often do for a ramp. Then mother
Mallard, hopefully, will figure out that there isnt any food in that
pool/pond and move them on.
The male Mallard who has stayed with the female throughout the
winter, helped her select a nest site and hung around while she was
laying her clutch finds himself without much to do when she begins
to sit on the eggs. So he begins looking for an unattended female to
begin the cycle again.
As we approach summer, an important point about Mallards:
Mallards shed all their flight feathers at the end of the Spring breed-
ing season and are flightless for 34 weeks. Their body feathers molt
into a concealing eclipse plumage that can make them very hard tosee.
Slow down! Give them a chance to cross the street they cant fly
out of your way.
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.

Art Takes a Bus RideBus SamTrans announced the winners of the annual county
wide student art competition, Art Takes a Bus Ride at its regular
board meeting. The winning entries were selected from more
than 400 submissions from schools in SamTrans service area.
The artists, who are in first to sixth grade, were asked to illus
trate the theme Window to Your City. The students work illus
trates sights that a rider would see from a SamTrans bus.
Second grader Lukas Wiggers drew a detailed panorama of the
Carlmont Shopping Center, which is served by SamTrans Route260, 262 and 295.
Keya Arora, a third grader, painted a SamTrans bus waiting fo
a gaggle of geese to cross the road. I live in Redwood Shores so
I see this happen all the time, said Arora.
Taylor Gee, a fourth grade student, used colored pencils to draw
a city-scape of a busy intersection in Belmont. Gee was a winne
twice before, in kindergarten and second grade. Even so, she wa
not sure she would win this year. I looked at the winners from
before on the website and I thought they were so much better.
Sixth grader Alina Kalmeyer also was surprised to find that she
was a winner. She used colored pencil and black marker to show
the view looking out the window of the bus, something she sees
every day when she rides SamTrans Route 83 to Hillview MiddleSchool.
All of the winning entries will be featured on adcards inside
SamTrans buses and on the outside of SamTrans rolling museum
known as the Art Bus. The Art Bus will be in service for a year
The winners received a SamTrans Summer Youth Pass, a cer-
tificate and a framed copy of the bus adcard showcasing their art
This is the ninth year that SamTrans has partnered with the San
Mateo County Office of Education to present the art contest.

Hello & GoodbyeSeven six five... four three... The countdown to the
remaining weeks until summer vacation has already begun for
students in the Shores. To us, the only things summer seems tobring are cherry popsicles and relaxing bike rides. However, for
many Redwood Shores students, this summer is the last before
they step out of their comfort zone and into a new circle.
The eighth graders at Ralston Middle School face a tough, yet
exciting adventure this year. As high school approaches, there
will be many beginnings and endings. As a freshman at Carlmont
High School, and a good friend of many graduating eight graders
in the community, I know exactly how it feels to be entering high
school.
For those approaching high school, they must bid farewell to their
middle school friends, and step into a whole other world of loom-ing basketball players, strict and demanding teachers, and numer-
ous tests. A new campus is always stressful, especially navigating
around the school grounds and meeting new friends. Here are
some good tips to keep in mind the summer before starting high
school.
It is important to spend more time with your family and friends!
This is the final summer you will be spending as a middle school
student. Spend less time reading or jogging alone, instead, pull a
friend or sibling over to come join you. Find excuses to go out to
lunch instead of eating frozen food at home. Even offering to help
take out the trash or wash the dishes is often
greatly appreciated. Remember, little things
go a long way.
Also, it is never too early to start preparing
for next years classes! This may sound
clich, but the homework and testing levels
are completely different in high school, and
they will definitely come as a shock if not
well prepared. Simple things such as purchasing a math work-
book or starting early on your advanced summer reading will def-
initely help.
Go outdoors! Lets face it, spending an entire summer sitting at
the computer is boring. Bike around the trails in the shores, or
bring a notebook and doodle in the park. If you want to call afriend over the phone, do it while watering the garden.
Electronics arent the only enjoyable things in the summer!
Most importantly, push yourself to do things, and live out the true
meaning of being a kid while you can. Relax a little before
August, and spend some time enjoying yourself. Dont forget to
help out as much as you can, especially your community!

This program is the result of many Downtown businesses com-
ing together in a cooperative effort to address their customers
concerns with the sometimes-impacted parking situation. As
Downtown Redwood City continues growing into one of THE
great destinations for entertainment in Silicon Valley, valet
parking will help bring parking relief, more convenience, and
peace of mind, at a low cost, to anyone looking for convenient
parking on those busy Friday and Saturday nights.

given in her honor on June 2nd at
Twin Pines.
We knew Cherie had touched so
many lives, plus everyone who

moves into the next phase of her life.
Cherie became the principal of Redwood Shores Elementary
School at its inception, and previously served as the principal at
Sandpiper Elementary and Nesbitt School.
She is also the Director of Wellness, where she heads a team of

BELMONT/REDWOODSHORESSCHOOL DISTRICT HIRES TWO
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLPRINCIPALS
The Belmont-Redwood Shores School District announced
today the hiring of two principals for the 2013-2014 school
year. At its meeting last night, the Districts Board of Trusteesapproved the hiring of Jennifer Gaboury and Robert S.
Sherman III. Mrs. Gaboury will be the principal at Cipriani
Elementary School and Mr. Sherman will be the principal at
Redwood Shores Elementary School.
We are extremely fortunate to find two extraordinarily tal-
ented candidates to lead our schools into the new school year
and beyond, said Interim Co-Superintendent Suzanne Roy.
They have proven records of success and dedication that will
serve our schools well.
Mrs. Jennifer Gaboury teaches fourth grade at Nesbit
Elementary School in Belmont. Prior to teaching in the
Belmont-Redwood Shores School District, Mrs. Gabouryserved several communities within the Capistrano Unified
School District in South Orange County, California as an
Assistant Principal for three years. Mrs. Gaboury is an active
volunteer in School-Force, Belmont-Redwood Shores School
Districts educational foundation, and has served on the
Districts Budget Advisory Committee, which advises the
District and Board of Trustees on financial and budgetary mat-
ters.
Mrs. Gaboury received a Bachelor of Arts from the
University of Colorado, a Masters of Education from
University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Masters of
Science in Administration from the Pepperdine Graduate
School of Education and Psychology. She brings with her
nearly a decade of experience within the field of education and
looks forward to serving the community of Belmont. It is
with great joy that I step into this role of leadership in a com-
munity to which I feel closely connected and that values excel-
lence in education, Mrs. Gaboury said.
Mr Robert (Bob) Sherman, the new Principal of Redwood
Shores Elementary School, has spent almost two decades
teaching children in kindergarten through eighth grade schools
on the peninsula. Mr. Sherman is in his fifth year as Principalin the Cupertino School District. During his tenure the school
of 590 students won the California Distinguished School
Award and established a beautiful school garden. John Muir
School is an English Language learning center for the district
where over 170 children speaking 60 different languages
attend. Previously he was Assistant Principal at Woodside
Elementary School, in Woodside. While there his responsibili-
ties ranged from sound technician to STAR District
Coordinator.
Mr. Sherman said, As a school administrator you have to
be willing to wear many hats, and scuff up your shoes too!
A native of San Francisco and graduate of the University o
California, Berkeley, Mr. Sherman earned his teaching cre
dential at Notre Dame de Namur in Belmont. He received a
Masters in Educational Administration from San Jose State
University.
I am looking forward to meeting the parents and student
of Redwood Shores. My recent conversations with the Board
staff, and parents left me with the clear impression tha
BRSSD is excited and prepared to teach students the skills
they need for the twenty-first century. I look forward to teach
ing and learning together, said Mr Sherman.I am impressed with the energy and vision that each o
these principals will bring to our schools, said Robert L
Tashjian, President of the Board of Trustees. They will focus
on educating our children and help them learn to the best of
their abilities.

A TOOTH SAVING STRATEGY
Research shows that patients with periodontal disease can utilize the non-surgical treatment combination of aggressive cleaning
and short-term antibiotics to effectively save their teeth. The study included patients with severe periodontal disease who had four
or more areas recommended for surgery or tooth extraction. The patients underwent an aggressive cleaning technique known as
root planning and scaling, involving utilization of a special instrument that is slipped down to the bottom of the pocket between
tooth and gums to remove harmful plaque and toxic bacterial by-products. The patients then received an antibiotic and follow-up
root planing and scaling every three months. It was found that the deep-cleaning and medication rendered 87% of the initially
recommended surgeries and extraction unnecessary.
The best time to see your dentist is before you have a problem. The most valuable service we can provide is a thorough
and complete examination. Virtually all-dental problemsdecay, gum disease, jaw joint difficulties and loose teethare easily
detected in their early stages and can be treated most economically and comfortably at that time. We are currently accepting new
patients. Please call us to schedule an appointment.
P.S. The benefits of the treatment regimen described above were found to last during five years of follow-up.

The Human Spine 101By Dr. Jenny Kim, D.C.
The spine of the human body consists of 33 vertebrae, which includes 24 articulat-
ing (or moving) segments in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar region, as well as 9
fused vertebrae in the sacrum and coccyx. In between each of the articulating ver-
tebrae is a spinal disc, except for the first cervical segment. These spinal discs serve
the purpose of cushioning each segment so that the bony vertebrae do not contact
each other. The discs also absorb shock for the spine from activities and movementssuch as walking, jumping, and even sitting. Spinal discs are made up of layers of
fibrocartilage on the outside, also known as annuli fibrosis. The annuli fibrosis is
arranged in alternating patterns with the vertebrae, which allow flexibility without
injury when the spine moves. In the middle of the annuli fibrosis is a jelly-like sub-
stance called the nucleus pulposis. This is made up of some proteins, but is mostly
made up of water.
A disc bulge is one of the more common spinal disc problems, which is when the
disc is extending beyond the space it normally should. This can be caused from trau-
ma, hereditary factors, or simply from normal wear and tear on the body. Sometimes
a bulge can result from little tears in the outer annuli fibers. These tears can cause
pain to the area, but the pain generally does not last for a very long time. Another
common spinal disc problem is a disc herniation. These injuries are sometimes
called disc protrusion or extrusion, and are considered as more significant injuries.
Disc herniation results from a complete or significant tear of the annuli fibers, and
some of the nucleus leaks through. This can then put pressure on the surrounding
nerves or even the spinal cord, which could cause a lot of various symptoms to the
person (neck or back pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness).
Finally, the most common disc problem is degenerative disc disease. This occurs
when the spinal disc loses water and the disc loses its natural height. (This is one
reason why it is very important to drink healthy amounts of water so we can nour-
ish our spinal discs). As the discs degenerate, it can cause tears in the spinal discs
and even cause the vertebrae to form osteophytes (bone spurs) along the edges.
Research has shown that most people will have some level of disc bulging anddegeneration as they age. However, the best and most effective way to slow down
this process is to take care of the spine - as most people would take care of other
parts of their body. Doctors of chiropractic are highly educated and trained physi-
cians that focus on the health of the spine. Chiropractic manipulation, therapeutic
exercise, and spinal decompression are some of the many chiropractic treatments
that are safe and effective to help keep the vertebrae and spinal discs healthy. These
treatment methods are also safe and effective for most people with a disc bulge, her-
niation, and/or disc degeneration. Your doctor of chiropractic can perform a thor-
ough spinal exam and assess if you are a candidate for conservative treatment, and
put together a specific treatment plan to help with your spinal disc problems.
*Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following that
are associated with spinal disc problems:-Loss of bowel or bladder control
-In ability to urinate or defecate
-Acute loss of feeling in both buttocks and/or both arms
-Inability to walk or use your arms

For the Health of It!By Lauren Picciani, MA

A Fresh Start: Take This Self-Assessment to
Step Toward More Energy & Vitality
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being absolutely
miserable and 10 being alive with energy andvitality, how well do you feel overall? For
most of us, theres room for improvement, and now is always a great
time for a fresh start! Assess the following 9 areas to help you jump-start
a plan for more energy and vitality in your life:
How is your diet? Do all of your meals include a serving of whole-food
protein for steady energy all day? Are you eating as many fresh, organ-
ic, pesticide-free fruits and veggies as you can? Are your animal proteins
organic and free from hormones, antibiotics and preservatives? Are you
keeping your grains whole and your fats healthy? Have you eliminated
or drastically reduced sugar, caffeine and refined carbohydrates?
Are you well hydrated? Our bodies are about 70% water we canno
function optimally if we are dehydrated. A rough guideline is 8 cups perday, but this varies with diet, stress and activity level. Clean water, fresh
juice, herbal teas and broths are hydrating. Sodas, sugary drinks and cof
fee are not.
What is your level of activity? Are you sitting most of the time? Are you
stiff? Hows your posture? Do you stretch? Do you do exercise that gets
your heart rate up? Are you strong, or do you feel weak? Do you do any
form of weight-bearing exercise?
Are you getting enough sunshine? We need natural light for many rea-
sons, including keeping vitamin D levels up and boosting mood-enhanc-
ing brain chemicals.
How is your attitude? Do you focus on the negative or the positive? Do
you spend more time complaining/blaming or doing what you can to
make things better? Do you appreciate those things for which you are
grateful every day?
Do you feel connected? Do you support and feel supported by others?
Do you have at least a few trusted confidantes? Do you feel part of a
community?
What is the quality of your environment? Are the places you spend mos
of your time pleasant for you physically and emotionally?
How do you feed your soul? Do you take time alone to do anything that
makes you feel at peace? Do you connect with nature, meditate or attendreligious services with true meaning to you?
What is your level of work-life balance? Does your work provide a
sense of purpose and/or intellectual challenge without consuming your
life? Are other areas above suffering because you constantly work?
Circle the 3 areas you rated lowest. What one change could you make
in each of these three areas to bring your ratings up? And dont under-
estimate the power of 1 simple change. My mom recently starting focus-
ing on drinking more water each day, and a persistent muscle pain prob-
lem disappeared! Your life is the sum of your daily choices change
your choices, and your life will change. Guaranteed.
Source of All Being
Every day 10,000 Americans turn 60, so I decided to join them.
Not that I had a choice, but I really didnt mind. Maybe its
because I have a lot of white in my
hair and store clerks have been giv-
ing me the senior discount for
years, which is not the most affirm-ing thing in the world. Or maybe
its because I have great friends in
their 60s and 70s, and I have
always felt like the young one in
the group.
But I decided way in advance that I
wanted my birthday to be fun and
meaningful, so I spent the weekend at Asilomar in Monterey with
close family and friends. I asked different ones to take charge of
certain parts of the weekend, using their unique talents and pas-
sions.
My favorite part was led by a spiritual director who brought lots
and lots of pictures from magazines that she has collected for
years. She spread them out on long tables so we could look them
over and then each person was invited to make a prayer card for
me. Her instructions:
Focus on your love for Mary and the blessing you want her to
have that speaks to you most strongly.
Take a piece of board to use as your card.
Begin to look at the pictures spread out on the tables around you.
Select an image that draws you, even if you dont know why.
Keep selecting pictures and arrange them in a collage on the
board; let this become a collage that is a gift of blessing from your
heart to Marys for her journey for the next decade. Glue theimages to the board.
Then they presented them to me, one by one. I will treasure them
forever.
The weekend closed with another friend reading the following
quote from one of my birthday presents, Fragments of Your
Ancient Name: 365 Glimpses of the Divine for Daily Meditation
by Joyce Rupp: She read this entry from my actual birth date, and
I close with this:
Source of All Being
Source of existence.
Source of wisdom.
Source of hope.
Source of compassion.
Source of desire for good.
Source of unselfish love.
Source of prayer.
Source of justice.
Source of eternal life.
Source of all that I am.
Today: I commune with my Source

SUMMER STYLING TIPSWhat fun things do you have planned for your summer? Here are
a few tips to get you stylin for the season!
Try a maxi-dress or long skirt. You can dress these up or down, and
there are lots of choices in prints, color and fabrics. (If youreshorter in stature, the long column of the maxi dress may be a bet-
ter choice than the skirt. Keep the volume of fabric under control.
Because these can transition easily from day to night, they are per-
fect for travel.
A stylish cover-up is another versatile traveling staple in the warm
weather. Again, there are many choices available - from short to
long, bare-armed or with sleeves, cotton to synthetic. They also
will take you easily from day to night.
Treats for the feet range from many kinds of sandals (simple strap
py in a wide variety of colors and prints, bohemian with fringe
bejeweled, color-blocked) to wedges. Of course, you can alwaysopt for a pair of simple flip flops but why not jazz it up a little since
the options are out there?
Take a colorful tote. We all need space when we travel for ou
iPads, etc. and a tote services functionally for travel and then dou-
bles as a handbag in the evening. Pick your favorite color and
youll instantly add spark to any outfit.

Redwood Citys Best Kept SecretEvery year a dedicated group of local residents provides a
free, week-long camp for at risk children. Touchdown
Camp, hosted by Project Lost Sheep, has been successful inpreventing children from being swept into drugs and gangs by
integrating them into its faith-based community. The camp is
open to children ranging in ages from six to twelve years old
and includes actives such as Christian values training, sports,
crafts and team-building activities.
Joyce Dueker, founder of Project Lost Sheep, expects up to
150 children to attend Touchdown Camp 2013, which will
occur August 5th to 9th at Verbo Church in Redwood City.
Although Project Lost Sheep will host its ninth successive
camp this year, the concept of offering a free camp for at risk
children did not occur to Joyce immediately. After being
incorporated as a non-profit in 1995 and determining to focuson improving the lives of local children, Project Lost Sheep
initially lacked a clear direction. Until the day, that is, that
Joyce received an invitation to assist Verbo church with its
Redwood City childrens program. Joyce and others members
of Project Lost Sheep were deeply impressed by the impact
that Verbo had on local families and young children.
Through the experience of helping Verbo, Joyce developed
an increasing awareness of the influence of gangs on impres-
sionable children and the role of poverty in shaping their
futures. Moreover, she knew that many children in this area
spend much of the summer indoors with little supervision and
only the television for companionship. Summer, she felt,
should be a time for outdoor pursuits and exploration. Joycewas inspired to start a camp.
The first Touchdown Camp occurred in 2005 and featured
a rich program of activities that included Bible teaching,
drama, crafts and sports. Although subdued on the first day,
the children thrived in a nurturing environment surrounded by
caring, attentive adults.
Touchdown Camp 2013 will be the ninth offered by Project
Lost Sheep. Joyce estimates that around 1,000 children have
benefited from the program and many camp alumni cite
Project Lost Sheep as a positive influence in their lives
Touchdown Camp has taught me how to share and make
friends with other kids, says one cute 7-year old girl. Itsalso significant that some of the children who attended the
initial camps, and who are now teenagers, volunteer as staff,
with one referring to Touchdown Camp as Redwood Citys
best-kept secret.

Parlanti at 650-428-1390 if you would like to help.

Every Athletes Summer HomeworkSummer is a great time to increase your stretching routine and partici-
pate in cross training to prevent overuse injuries during your regular
season.
What are overuse injuries?
Sports injuries can be categorized as acute or overuse. Acute injuries, such
as fractures, dislocations, or sprains often result from trauma such as a fall
or collision. Overuse injuries usually occur over time as repetitive micro-
traumas affect the tendons, muscles, bones, growth plates, and joints.
Almost 50% of injuries that occur in middle school and high school aged
athletes are overuse injuries. Some examples of overuse injuries are:
Knee: Patellar tendinopathy/jumpers knee, Osgood Schlatters
Ankle: Achilles tendinopathy, Severs Disease
Elbow: Tennis elbow/lateral epicondylopathy,
Golfers elbow/medial epicondylopathy
Shoulder: Rotator cuff tendinopathy, little league shoulder
Back: Low back pain due to spondylolysis
The athletes adaptation to physical stresses of exercise and activity results
in bone, muscle, tendon, and ligament remodeling. Remodeling is the
build up and break down of tissue. With the right amount of load or stress
the human tissue becomes stronger. If the breakdown occurs more rapid-
ly than the buildup, as when athletes overtrain, an overuse injury can
occur.
Some people are more prone to overuse injuries and this is usually related
to anatomic or biomechanical factors. Many people also have weak
links due to old injuries, incompletely rehabilitated injuries or other
anatomic factors.
Here are some ways to prevent overuse
injuries:
* Get a pre-season strength, flexibility,
and endurance evaluation
* Perform a proper warm-up and cool-down
* Perform strengthening exercises which focus on your
particular weak links.* Stay hydrated
* Wear properly fitted protective equipment
* Play different positions or sports throughout the year to
minimize repetitive motions
* Remember that no pain, no gain does not apply in this situation
* Increase your training program no more than 10% per week
* Rest when injured and consult with a medical professional
when appropriate
Most people need some professional coaching at the beginning of a new
sport to learn the fundamentals and develop good habits. A movemen
specialist such as a physical therapist can help you modify exercises to fi
your unique needs.

Planning ahead is essential for a successful event. If your dog is aggres
sive or very shy, he would not be a good candidate for bringing into the
office.
If your boss has given the green light to bring dogs into the office,
some pre-planning is essential:
Make sure no one in your office is allergic to dogs! It definitely would
not be good to bring your dog to work and only then discover the person
next to you is allergic to dogs!
Dog-proof your workspace before you bring your dog to work.
Make sure your dogs shots are up-to-date. And, do everyone a
favorbath and groom your dog the day before his office appearance.
Have a goodie bag for your dog. This goodie bag should contain a bow
for food and water, a favorite toy or two, paper towels, poop bags
Having a crate for your dog to go in when he wants some alone time is
another thing to have on hand.
Remember, not everyone is a dog lover (hard to believe, I know!), so
dont force your co-workers to interact with your dog.
And, do not despair if your boss is not open to hosting Fido for a day
There are still ways your company can participate! Consider asking
some animal professionals to come and speak with your employees. You
might even consider asking a local rescue group or humane society to
bring some of their adoptable animals for an adoption fair.
You will find plenty of information on the TYDTWD website! If your
company has an event I would love to hear what you did and how it
turned out! Jan can be reached janspetsit@comcast.net.

WINE APPRECIATIONBy Tom Barras
As an inveterate wine geek, I sometimes
overdose on wine information. I enjoy
browsing wine publications, surfing inter-
net wine sites, snooping through book-
shelves of local libraries and book stores,
and exchanging views with other wine
enthusiasts and wine store employees. Of
course, in between those exhausting pursuits, I
also take time out to pour a glass or two. One must
keep the mind clear and the palate refreshed, no?
Also, because I like variety in my wines, Im also constantly
browsing the shelves of most of the Peninsula wine stores
And when the serious urge strikes me, I travel to some of the
better known ones in San Francisco and East Bay. Excessive?
Yes. Obsessive? I think not! For me the pursuit is part of
the pleasure. And one of the items that motivates me to trek to
these stores is the information provided in their monthly wine
newsletters.
They can be as brief as a single sheet with concise tasting notes
of this months specials, to more elaborate, multi-page book-
lets with recent vintage evaluations, in-store tasting schedules
and seminars, as well as special sale offerings. Current edi-
tions are usually situated very near the cash registers, as is the
sign-up sheet. And the good news is theyre priced right: Free
Well, lately Ive been in the ABC mode. You know
Anything but Chardonnay and/or Anything but Cabernet.
I know it sounds snooty, but after a while my palate yearns for
something new and different. It needs to be revitalized withsome grape varieties that are different from traditional
California Big Nine offerings. And as luck and timing
would have it, one of those mailers arrived, and this particular
issue seemed written specifically with me in mind.
It was a high quality fifteen page flyer that presented their
summer proposals: inexpensive sparkling and still white wines
from several Italian and French appellations; several Ros rec-
ommendations; and then a few premium priced French and
Italian red wines for those desiring something more serious
on their table tops. In addition the flyer offered suggestions as
to how many cases to buy with its summer cellar buyingguide. That way, one would be prepared to use them as gifts,
aperitifs, celebrations, lunches, brunches and daily meals.
Those periodic store mailers (and their Internet emails as well)
really do a great customer service. They not only remind us
that Chardonnay is not the only white wine in the world, and
Cabernet Sauvignon is not the only red wine. But beyond
those aspects, allow me to suggest that in absence of those
mailers, feel free to quiz your local wine store clerk for new
and interesting wines to sample. Variety is you-know-what.

JUNE SWOON OVER SRAWBERRY TART
June in Connecticut was all about ripe beautiful plump strawberries that
our family picked on a farm in Cromwell, CT along the banks of the
Connecticut River. It was one of our favorite family outings, and we all
eagerly looked forward to Moms strawberry jam, Dads Birthday straw-
berry shortcakes, and Grammie Crandalls home-made strawberry ice
cream (which kept all the little ones busy cranking the handle of the ice
cream maker). There is something so luscious about biting into fresh
strawberries!
This Strawberry Tart is one of my go to recipes when I want to serve
something really beautiful and delicious for desert, or as the finishing
touch for a special luncheon. It takes a little time, but the result is well
worth it. This tart is best eaten the day it is made just have an extra
slice or two!
STRAWBERRY TART (Serves 8)
Pte Sucre Dough
1 Cups White All Purpose Flour, Sifted
6 Tablespoons Unsalted Cold Butter cut into small pieces
1 Tablespoon Confectioners Sugar
2 Egg Yolks
1 Teaspoon Ice Water (you may need a teensy bit more, depending on
how dough comes together)
Use a cuisinart put your flour and confectioners sugar into bowl, add
the small pieces of cold butter, pulse for 20 30 seconds, then add the
two egg yolks and teaspoon of ice water, pulse again until mixture had
formed into a ball. Stop immediately, remove dough, place in plastic
wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least one hour. Preheat Oven to 400
Degrees. Roll out dough on lightly floured marble/granite surface, roll
dough away from you, turning as you go, keeping it lightly floured to
prevent sticking. Once rolled out, slip the rolling pin under the top third
of the dough, and slide dough into 12 inch tart pan with removable bot-
tom. Try not to stretch the dough, as it will just shrink back!
You want the dough to come up onto the sides of the pan. Prick the
dough all over with the tines of a fork, then line with parchment paper
and bake blind (this means arrange a layer of dried beans or pie tartweights over the parchment paper to hold the dough down while baking).
Bake for 10 12 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and contin-
ue baking until crust is golden and cooked. You may have to prick with
a fork again to let some of the air escape from under the crust. Watch
carefully the edges can burn quickly. Remove from oven and cool on
wire rack.
Crme Ptissire Strawberries
1 Cups Whole Milk 2 Lbs. Fresh Whole Strawberries, rinsed
1 Vanilla Bean, Split 4 Tablespoons Red Currant Jelly
4 Egg Yolks
Cup Sugar
Just under 1/3 Cup Cornstarch
Scald the milk with the vanilla bean and scraped out vanilla grains in
saucepan over medium high heat. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and corn-starch together in separate bowl, then pour hot milk into bowl and con-
tinue whisking. Remove the vanilla bean. Return the mixture to the
saucepan and continue whisking over low heat until thickened. Pour into
a bowl and cool in the refrigerator, whisking every so often. When cool,
pour into tart shell and smooth with rubber spatula.
Hull the strawberries. Starting at the edge of the tart shell, stick them
upright into the crme in a circle and work your way into the center. Use
the larger berries on the edge, and smaller ones as you move towards the
center of the tart. Melt the red currant jelly in a sauce pan with 1
Tablespoon of water, and then brush over berries with pastry brush.
Garnish finished tart with sprig of mint if you like. Enjoy!

SSP PLAN Approved By SAM TRANS
At the May 1 SamTrans Board of Directors
meeting, the Board approved the SamTrans
Service Plan (SSP). The goal of the SSP is a
comprehensive update to routes - to make sure
that SamTrans is taking riders from where they
are to where they want to go.
For the past several years, bus ridership hasbeen on the decline. The SSP is estimated to
cost no more than the current SamTrans budg-
et, and at final implementation, is estimated to increase ridership by
approximately 400,000 riders.
As part of the public outreach and engagement process, the final
plan that was adopted by the Board restored some weekend service
on route 260 into Redwood Shores (the DRAFT plan was to elimi-
nate weekend service) along Bridge Parkway. Also, Belmont is
considering a limited shuttle service that SamTrans will coordinate
with once Belmonts plan is finalized to minimize any duplication
of service.
The plan also includes Saturday service to Canada College, except
that it will be on route 275 on Saturdays, 7:30 AM - 7:00 PM. 275
on Saturdays will come from the RWC CalTrain Station, along El
Camino to Woodside Road, to Alameda, to Jefferson/Farm Hill, to
Canada College. The service frequency will be 60 minutes.
In addition to the adoption of the SSP, the Board also welcomed the
2013 winners of Art Takes a Ride. This years theme was A
Window to Your City and over 400 1st through 6th grade students
from schools around San Mateo County submitted their view of
their city from SamTrans bus. Four of the six students that had their
art selected are from Redwood City. Of these four students, threeare from Sandpiper Elementary School: Tymofiy Kornyeyev, 1st
Grade; Keya Arora, 3rd Grade, and Taylor Gee (no relationship!),
4th Grade. An entire SamTrans bus will host their art and drive var-
ious routes throughout San Mateo County for a year!
Congratulations to Tymofiy, Keya and Taylor, and to their teachers.
Well done!
