I was fortunate to havebeen raised in the SanLorenzo Valley comm-unity of Felton; in thelovely Santa Cruz

Mountains. Te last few years I lived there, beforemoving to RedwoodCity in 1997, I served with the Felton FireProtection District as anEM /Fire ghter.Te FFPD is one of fourvolunteer re districts inthe San Lorenzo Valley.If you call 9-1-1 in one

of those communities, the person responding to your aid will be a volunteer. Te communities that make up that area rely on volunteers for the very existence of their emergency

rst responders. Although Redwood City has professional emergency response personnel, we rely on volunteers for the very existence of many of the programs we have that serve peoplein our community. Our Library and Senior Center are justa couple examples of the many places volunteers serve tosustain critical services to our residents. In the last year, the

Library and Veterans Memorial Senior Center havebene ted from over 180,000 volunteer hours by the menand woman who generously and sel essly serve. It wouldtake almost 90 full-time employees to match their work and,at a minimum, cost well over $2 million dollars; and thatdoesn’t represent those volunteering in public safety, parksand recreation, public works, etc.My heart goes out in deep gratitude to those that volunteerand give back to our community. When I say “we couldn’tdo it without you” I don’t mean that ippantly; we literally could not do it without you.If you’re not volunteering somewhere yet, I encourage youto get involved. Volunteering is not only a great way to giveback to your community, it is a fantastic way to meet new people, make new friends, and get more involved in yourcommunity. If you’re like me, you’ll most often get muchmore in return then you give.Tere are a number of excellent ways you can give of yourtime in our community. Te Redwood City website has a number of great organizations listed at:www.redwoodci y.org/residen s/volun eer‐ge ‐involved

Te format was a mixed scramble, with

players changing partners for every round (and some chancourts as well). For once we had an equal number of men

women, so tournament director John Hogan was happy. Te were six rounds of eight games each, and play was compeLaurie Coleman won rst place in the women’s division

by Harvey Radin You feel lots of energy in cities like San Francisco, New York,London and Los Angeles, with crowds of people racing and jostling to get around. Especially in SF, Te Big Apple andLondon. Maybe not so much in Los Angeles where autotraffic often exceeds pedestrian traffic.In Redwood Shores, there's lots of energy as well, but with a difference. You can tell when people taking a break during their workday are out and about. Tey're just as busy aspeople deep in the heart of big cities. Tey're texting andtalking on smart phones. Tey're in groups maybe discussing business as they're out walking. Just like people in big cities.But there's a big difference. Because just a few steps frommany of the office buildings here, people who work in theShores can be out and about on trails that take themsomewhere else entirely. Where they may have to weave a bit,but not through jostling crowds. Tere may be a few groundsquirrels and birds along the way, and maybe a jackrabbit.But the wildlife is generally pretty polite.Sure... there's some nature in big cities. Maybe occasionally there are falcons building a nest at the top of a high-risebuilding. And you can actually see them if you happen tohave binoculars or a telescope, or if they're caught on camera during the evening news.In the Shores, there's the scent of nature instead of the scent

of auto exhaust. You seldom hear honking horns. Tere'speace and quiet. As the comedian Jackie Gleason used tosay..."How sweet it is!!" And there's a different demeanor. People with companies hereare focused and intense like people in big cities, but not quiteso much when they're taking a workday break. Tere aremore smiles, more greetings.So with all the commerce and business happening in theShores, with all the intensity, there are places where you canget away from it all. Even during a midday break. And who

knows? Maybe working this way out here in RWS isboosting productivity.(After a career in corporate communication, Harvey Radinwrote books and articles about public opinion and PR. His articles have been published in Business Insider, American Banker and regional news media. Te Radins have lived in the Shores since 1984.)

Big Energy – with aBIG Difference

by Kelly Song Under the sea there is a colorful scene. Pink coral, shimmesilver sh, and… Middle school students? Now thasomething truly out of this world.Ralston Middle School and the San Carlos Children’s Teapartnered together for the musical production of Te LittMermaid, Jr., bringing the wonders of the sea to the midschool stage. Te production took place on May 20 th, 21and 22nd at at the McKinley Auditorium in Redwood City“It’s all the youth in this community, and there’s so mutalent,” said Eron Block, the director of the production, wdescribing what made the Ralston musical particularly spe“Adults would be pleased to see children do something creas opposed to other things they could be doing with thtime. Tis is the performing arts side that gives those kids wdon’t feel they t into sports or choir a community, and ganother artistic opportunity for them.”

Te production was comprised solely of Ralston MiddSchool students, and with a modern twist on the origiversion of the musical. Filled with bright new choreograand following an edgy steampunk theme, the middle schversion of this production offered a refreshing new perspeon a timeless classic. Compared side by side with professshows normally lled with adults, the childhood elementhis musical offer a new perspective found nowhere else“Kids this age have the most creativity. Adults do really

job with productions, but with kids doing it, it’s fresh,new,” said Adrian Harris, a student at Carlmont High Sch who is assisting as a teacher in the production. “We try todifferent results and we try to make it a different LMermaid, not one that everyone has seen.”From singing proudly as actors on stage, to working alllights and sound backstage, Ralston students were trulyheart of the production. Te musical offered a special occasfor students to experience the world of theater and bulasting relationships with peers.

JUNE SWOON OVER STRAWBERRY TARTune in Connecticut was all about ripe beautiful plumptrawberries that our family picked on a farm in Cromwell, C

long the banks of the Connecticut River. It was one of ouravorite family outings, and we all eagerly looked forward toMom’s strawberry jam, Dad’s Birthday strawberry shortcakes,nd Grammie Crandall’s home-made strawberry ice creamwhich kept all the little ones busy cranking the handle of thece cream maker). Tere is something so luscious about biting nto fresh strawberries!

Tis Strawberry art is one of my “go to” recipes when I wanto serve something really beautiful and delicious for desert, ors the nishing touch for a special luncheon. It takes a littleime, but the result is well worth it. Tis tart is best eaten the

day it is made – just have an extra slice or two!TRAWBERRY TART(Serves 8)

Pâ e Sucrée Dough1½ Cups White All Purpose Flour, Sifted6 ablespoons Unsalted Cold Butter – cut into small pieces1 ablespoon Confectioners’ Sugar2 Egg Yolks1 easpoon Ice Water (you may need a teensy bit more,depending on how dough comes together)

Use a Cuisinart – put your our and confectioners’ sugar intobowl, add the small pieces of cold butter, pulse for 20 – 30econds, then add the two egg yolks and teaspoon of ice water,

pulse again until mixture had formed into a ball. Stopmmediately; remove dough, place in plastic wrap and chill inefrigerator for at least one hour.

Preheat Oven to 400 Degrees. Roll out dough on lightly ouredmarble/granite surface, roll dough away from you, turning asyou go, keeping it lightly oured to prevent sticking. Onceolled out, slip the rolling pin under the top third of the dough,nd slide dough into 12 inch tart pan with removable bottom.

ry not to stretch the dough, as it will just shrink back! Youwant the dough to come up onto the sides of the pan. Prick he 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 tart weights over the parchment paper to hold he dough down while baking).

Bake for 10–12 minutes, then remove the parchment paper andontinue baking until crust is golden and cooked. Tis will

only take another few minutes. You may have to prick with a ork 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 a wire rack.Crème Pâ issière2 Lbs Fresh Whole Strawberries, Rinsed4 ablespoons Red Currant Jelly 1¾ Cups Whole Milk1 Vanilla Bean, Split4 Egg Yolks½ Cup Sugar

But to us, what went on behind the sand the process leading up to that is just as important, imore important,” said Block. “ eamwork in sports haaspect of winning, whereas in the theater I don’t think competitive environment. It’s more like, ‘we’re all itogether.’”“It’s a whole family affair. Every parent, every family hto help make the production happen. Some of them are hebuild sets, some of them are doing costumes, others are tickets, running our publicity or doing our program. Aland done, anywhere from 60 to 90 people are all involvall sides.”

With this being Ralston’s most successful musical to dat with more actors auditioning and more parents volunteeach year, the importance of bringing the arts to public scis becoming more evident than ever.Not only do young students nd enrichment in their timthe stage, but also bene t immensely beyond the curtaininto the real world.

You are aware of our summer concerts and holiday events forour kids. And every home and most businesses getTe PILO magazine each month, so you know one way in which wecommunicate. We also have our web site, and for speci c issuesand events we use our roadway median signboards and a fairly extensive email system.But here are just a few of the many things that RSCA has beendoing in the last few years:

The Canada Goose Problem:1.Starting in 2009 we spent over two years working with U.Sand California wildlife officials and Redwood City toidentify the things we could (and could NO ) do to helpmitigate the problems caused by our resident, non-migrating Canada geese and the unhealthful excrement they leave on our sidewalks and in our parks and other green

spaces. Te result in 2012 was a draft document providing clear guidelines for property owners on approved methodsto help control our growing population. We continue to work to get a larger number of property owners, especially of our business properties, to take a moreactive role in controlling this nuisance in our community.Tree Replacemen Along he Parkways2.It was in 2012 that we rst began to walk the parkways withCity Public Works to take a closer look at the damage to theroadways and sidewalks that was being caused by the rootsof older trees lining our streets. Some places that had been

repaired the previous summer were breaking up again, andit was obvious that a more permanent solution was neededto deal with continuing damage to our roadways. We worked with the City to come up with a plan to mitigatethe constant (and costly) need for street repairs. We alsoasked the City to develop a “master” tree plan for the Shoresthat speci es that any tree removed be replaced from a listof recommended trees that are compatible with our Shoresbiosystem. We don’t want our trees to disappear, and we want to maintain a consistent look throughout the Shores.

“Beau ifica ion” of he Holly En rance o he Shores3.

If you enter the Shores from the Ralston interchange, youget a favorable rst impression of the Shores. If you enterfrom the Holly interchange, the impression has been quitedifferent. Te problem has been that the properties betweenHwy.101 and win Dolphin belong to different cities plusseveral county and state agencies, and there has been untilrecently no agreement on who owned and was responsiblefor what. After several frustrating years of RSCA trying to deal withthis, Redwood City nally tasked a staff person to determineonce and for all who owned what. Once that was done, the

City has worked with RSCA over the past year to get athe parties together and begin to develop a plan for eachand agency to “clean up” their respective properties.

We hope you have already noticed some efforts to begi“beauti cation” of the Holly entrance to the Shores.Public Safe y: Fire & Police4.
