Redwood Shores, We’re For The Birds

What to do? There’s a duck nest in my flower pot!

In case you haven’t noticed, it is nesting season for manyRedwood Shores birds, including our Mallard ducks. TheMallard (Anas platyrhynchos) is one of the few wild ducks thatseems to have no problem nesting around homes, including inflower pots and even inside open barbeques.

Wherever they have chosen to nest, the female Mallard typi-cally lays an egg a day until she has accumulated a dozen,called a “clutch”. (Maybe that is why we like to buys eggs indozens…just a thought). As she accumulates more eggs, shewill lay twigs and grass and her own down feathers to bothinsulate and camouflage her nest.

The female Mallard doesn’t sit patiently on the eggs until theyhatch. In fact, she doesn’t incubate them at all during the lay-ing stage. Incubation begins when she has laid her “clutch”and lasts about a month. During this time, the female willincubate for several hours a day and then go off to feed. Allthe viable eggs, when ready to hatch, usually do so within a 24hour period. Shortly after hatching, the mother will lead thechicks off to her favorite pond to feed them. Occasionally, amother Mallard will lead the babies to the community swim-ming pool. If we knew why, we would tell you. This can befatal for the babies because while they can jump in they oftencan’t jump out. If this happens at your pool, you will need toscoop the babies out with a net or build a ramp for them – ametal pool chair will often do for a ramp. Then motherMallard, hopefully, will figure out that there isn’t any food inthat pool/pond and move them on.

The male Mallard who has stayed with the female throughoutthe winter, helped her select a nest sit, and hung around whileshe was laying her “clutch” finds himself without much to dowhen she begins to sit on the eggs. So he begins looking foran unattended female to begin the cycle again.

As we approach summer, an important point aboutMallard’s:Mallards shed all their flight feathers at the end of the Springbreeding season and are flightless for 3–4 weeks. Their bodyfeathers molt into a concealing “eclipse” plumage that canmake them very hard to see. Slow down! Give them a chanceto cross the street – they can’t fly out of your way.Remember: Teach your children to not touch, feed or annoybirds or other wildlife. They are a valuable asset to our com-munity. Please pick up plastic bags and other plastic refuse.Birds can get entangled in them and starve.

Silicon Valley Clean Water Project WillBring Construction Trucks through

Redwood ShoresA project to rehabilitate the existing biosolids

drying beds at Silicon Valley Clean Water’s treatmentplant at 1400 Radio Road will require constructiontrucks traversing Redwood Shores Parkway for aboutthree months starting in June.

There will be about 14 trucks per day during8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays-Fridays, with a two-weekperiod of about 20 trucks per day. These trucks willbe carrying construction materials such as concrete,lime, and soil.

The project has significant environmental benefitsby lining the beds and by making the drying processmuch more efficient. The work includes lime stabi-lization of the existing soil base, a new concrete floorand access ramps, internal roadway improvements,and a new decant system and pump station. The over-all drying bed area is not increasing.

In the long term, the improvements will reducethe number of trucks leaving the SVCW site annuallyfrom about 600 to about 300 and significantly reducebiosolids disposal costs.

RWC - The Bay Area Bike Share Open Data Challenge wasannounced on March 25th and designers, programmers, and oth-ers were invited to visualize and display bike share trip data inbeautiful, informative, and surprising ways. Prizes were awardedfor Best Overall Visualization, Best Presentation, Best Analysis,Best Data Exploration Tool, and Best Data Narrative. Visit theBay Area Bike Share Open Data Challenge website for furtherdetails, guidelines, and rules.During the first six months of bike share operation, Bay Area

Bike Share riders logged over 150,000 bicycle trips in SanFrancisco, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and SanJose. With more than 3,700 annual members and 15,000 casualmembers, the program’s popularity grows on a daily basis as BayArea residents, visitors, and commuters choose bike sharing overdriving their cars to, from, and between home, work, and play.Bay Area Bike Share is a regional grant-funded pilot program

that launched on August 29, 2013. Members can check out bikes at any bike share station in San Francisco, Redwood City,Palo Alto, Mountain View, and San Jose. Redwood City’s bike share stations are located in and around

downtown, with the newest station installed at Mezes Park onFeb. 20th. The Mezes Park station is ideal for residents who livenear the park and want to ride to downtown, including commuterswho can now ride to the Sequoia Caltrain station and quicklycheck a bike back in before hopping on the train. For locations ofall stations, visit the Station Map page on the website.

Bay Area Bike Share Celebrated Six Months of Operation

Redwood City Not Meeting Goal of 10% Voluntary ReductionRWC - Our Water Conservation team recently received newsfrom the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC)that as a region we are not meeting our goal of 10% voluntaryreduction. It is very important that we meet this goal inRedwood City and the region. If we are able to meet the 10%voluntary reduction, it greatly improves our chances of avoid-ing mandatory rationing in 2014, and possibly 2015.

Water consumption patterns in relation to the much neededprecipitation we received in February and March indicate thatwe can meet our goals by reducing our outdoor water use. Inparticular, we are noticing spikes in consumption primarily dueto irrigation.

Here are some easy ways to immediately save water in youryard. * Reduce how often you water your lawn and plants by water-ing only once or twice per week. * Watering for too long can waste water causing it to run-offinto the gutter. Allow water to soak into the soil by watering inshort intervals. (If you normally water for 10 minutes switch towatering for 5 minutes, wait for 15 minutes, then water for 5more minutes.)* Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway andsidewalk. * Take your car to a carwash instead of washing it at home.(Carwashes use water more efficiently.)

* Check your sprinkler system for any leaks orbroken nozzles, and turn off your sprinklersuntil the leaks are fixed. * Check the aim of your sprinklers. “Wateringthe sidewalk doesn’t help to save water or yourplants.”* Water dry spots by hand instead of turning upthe sprinkler.

Here are some ways to save water in your yard and for years tocome. * Replace your lawn with drought tolerant plants* Install a drip irrigation for shrubs and flowers. * Install a smart irrigation controller with a rain sensor. Remember: “There’s a Drought On. Turn the Water Off.” * Check for toilet leaks. (it may be leaking without you know-ing it)* Install low flow shower heads and sink aerators (RedwoodCity can give them to you for free)* Use an automatic dishwasher to wash dishes and only run itwhen it is full.* Don’t let the water run when washing dishes by hand. Plugthe drain, or fill up a larger pot or tub to hold soapy water. * Reuse bath water to water your lawn.

CAVITY VACCINEWhen we think of vaccines, what we usually think about is the prevention of diseases like Polio, Small Pox and Hepatitis. Have youever thought about a vaccine for the dental cavity? Cavities are formed when bacteria that normally exist in your mouth use carbohydrate-containing foods (candy, fruit, soda, etc.) to produce acid. This acid can penetrate the hard surface of your teeth tomake those painful damaging holes that bring you to the dentist. A new hope exists for a vaccine to prevent cavities. Several monthsago, British scientists published a study. (May, Nature Medicine describing a new vaccine that they herald as a safe, effective andpainless way to prevent dental cavities. The vaccine was developed by a California-based company called Planet Biotechnology,and was tested by a team of researchers at Guy’s Hospital Dental School in London. The vaccine is said to produce antibodies againstthe cavity causing bacteria Streptococcus mutans. The vaccine was tested on people in a four month study. The results revealed that a group who received the vaccine had no evidence of the cavity causing bacteria (S. mutans) for up to four months whereas aplacebo group was without bacteria for only two months. While these results are encouraging, I can think of a few potential problems with the study. The first problem is that the results lasted for only four months. Also, this study does not look at otherbacteria (Lactobacillus casei and acidophilus, Actinomyces naeskundii) that have also been shown to cause cavities. Finally, no othermajor clinical trial has confirmed the results of this study. Despite these limitations, I’m still optimistic that there may be an effective cavity vaccine available in the future. I think it is important to keep in mind that even if we had a viable cavity vaccine,there would still be a need for brushing, flossing, regular dental checkups and cleanings.

26 Driving Awareness In April - CHP CitesMotorists For Driving Distracted

The California Highway Patrol held a distracted driving awarenesscampaign last month. Law enforcement officials are cracking downon the drivers who talk or text on their cell phones, driving underthe influence and other offences. The CHP last year issued over 100citations to motorists who were talking or texting on their cells.

State Of The CityAs Mayor, there are a number of events,appearances and presentations to make. Oneof the traditional events as Mayor is the annu-al State of the City address. Together withthe Vice Mayor, we highlight many of thepast year’s accomplishments, and share withthe community a glimpse of things to come inthe next year. The State of the City address ishosted by the Redwood City-San MateoCounty Chamber of Commerce. This year’sevent was held on February 28, and recorded and broadcast byPen TV on local cable.

Immediate past Mayor, Alicia Aguirre started the process of tak-ing our State of the City address to more members of our com-munity by presenting it at the Veterans Memorial Senor Center.This year, we formalized the process by presenting the State ofthe City at the North Fair Oaks Community Center on April 1, andat the Veterans Memorial Senior Center on April 10.

The theme of this year’s State of the City is a “New Day,” cele-brating how the City, formerly called “Deadwood City,” is nowbustling with hundreds of events celebrating our diversity, thou-sands of people visiting our Downtown now dubbed the“Entertainment Capital of the Peninsula,” and a healthy localeconomy.

The State of the City includes a short “movie” about our new dayin Redwood City, followed by a presentation that focuses on theCity’s six Strategic Initiatives - Community Building andCommunications, Government Operations, Transportation,Economic Development, Public Safety and Youth. TheseInitiatives guide the City’s delivery of services, programs andpolicies that benefit our community. The State of the City willhighlight accomplishments within each Strategic Initiative andwill include our future goals in these areas of service delivery. Ifyou missed the State of the City address, you can find the “movie”on YouTube – search for “Where is Deadwood City?” You willfind a cast consisting of several of our community members!

This is all part of our strategic initiative focused on BuildingCommunity. Another important part of this effort is to bring theCouncil out to our neighborhoods, twice a year, to make it easierfor our residents to talk to the Council. The first Council neigh-borhood Town Hall meeting is scheduled for Redwood Shores onMonday, May 5 at 7:00 PM, at the Redwood Shores BranchLibrary. I hope to see you on May 5th!

Dear Redwood Shores Community,

Spring is in full swing. In the schools, we are attending to the last two months of the school year and planning ahead for next year.This school year will end on June 25, and we will start next school year on August 27, 2014. In this update, I would like to sharepreliminary goals for the next school year and to update you on the status of negotiations with our teachers’ bargaining group.

Preliminary Goals for 2014-15The following four goals outline our proposed focus for next year. We have been sharing these goals with the community as a partof our Local Control Accountability Plan.

1. Continue the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), with a focus on professional development, instruc-tional materials, and educational technology. 2. Improve our assessments and systems for collecting and organizing student learning data for the purposes of monitoring learn-ing progress and informing future instruction.3. Review and improve English Learner instructional support in the areas of instructional materials, professional development, andintervention programs.4. Continue to develop parent communication, engagement, and education.

Proposed actions to achieve these goals can be found on our community outreach website: http://www.brssd.org/superinten-dentoutreach. Just click on the “Draft BRSSD LCAP” link. Your feedback on our draft plan is welcome.

An Update on NegotiationsYou may have heard that we have fallen a year behind in negotiating compensation with our teachers’ bargaining group. The goodnews is that we have made considerable progress recently. The District leadership is committed to compensating our teachers fair-ly and competitively. Currently, we are in communication with the teachers’ bargaining team. Our interest is to come to an agree-ment soon and get back “on track,” negotiating compensation in the fall of each year, like most other districts with our fundingmodel.

Thank you for your interest in our schools. We are grateful for your support. Michael Milliken, Ph.D., Superintendent [email protected]

Mobile Phone Apps for Your AnimalsA few months ago I downloaded an app to my phone which wouldmap the distance I walked my dog. Other people could also add theirroutes to this application. It often caused me to check this app for adifferent route to walk, even if I didn’t have my dog in tow! So, Istarted looking at some other apps. All animal related, mind you.Here are some I thought you might find interesting or amusing:

Mapmydogwalk by Subaru – This is the app I mentioned above. Ireally liked this app because I could check out various routes, findout how long the walk was (both in terms of miles and time). This

app also indicates length of time if you are running, ratherthan walking, for example. They say it is “Free” but I noticedwith their recent upgrade they are asking me to now pay forthis app.

Pet Acoustics – This is music for dogs, cats and even horses!Music designed to sooth and relax your animals. $1.99

Screen Clean – Love this app! You can pick up to 8 differentdogs to lick your screen clean. The app is free, but if you wantto choose from more than the 8 dogs offered, you can upgrade.The creators of this app also have posted a disclaimer inform-ing us that a video of a dog licking your screen will not causewater damage to your cell phone, nor will it actually cleanyour screen, and concludes with “no animals were harmed inthe making of this video”.

Click Train – Clicker training for your dog. Another free apphelps you to train your dog.

Check them out and see what you like! Do a search as I knowyou’ll find many other dog or animal apps than one couldimagine!

Six Great Ideas For Your KitchenWhether you are planning or daydreaming about remodeling yourkitchen, you’ve probably noticed the exponential jump in thenumber of options for plumbing fixtures, appliances, lighting,wood finishes and counter surface materials that are available.New features are adopted in the high-end custom kitchens; andthen they trickle down to be the expected norm in all parts of themarket place. Since today’s kitchen is the social and functionalcrossroads of the house, the kitchen design must be seamlesslyintegrated with the rest of the house. The goal of remodel remainsthe same in every home: to enable the cook to do more with lessenergy and less time.

The largest design impact in the kitchen begins with the selectionof the cabinets. Varying the top height of wall cabinets and creat-ing pantries that resemble furniture are design ideas that havegained popularity in the past five years. Cherry, Birch and Mapleare standard cabinet finishes. Look for the increased use of moreexotic woods such as Bamboo and Wenge. Painted cabinetry withspecialty finishes and glazes can give a more custom look. Glassfronted cabinets with lighted shelves and display niches are anoth-er way the kitchen can be “dressed up” to blend with an adjacentformal space. Using dimmers and task lighting on separate con-trols allows the kitchen to fade into the background when viewingTV in an adjacent room. Under the cabinet lighting with LEDstrip lighting or puck lights provide a well-illuminated work sur-face.Here are some other features that today’s consumers desire intheir remodeled kitchens:•Snack bars set up at kids’ height in the kitchen with a microwavefor popcorn and cooling drawer for drinks will keep them out ofthe main work area of the kitchen. (The cooling drawers byDacor® are an economical alternative to a wine chiller.)

•Multiple sinks are becoming more popular when there are twocooks in the house and enough room for a kitchen island. •A pull out appliance garage next to the table can store the toast-er and coffee maker.•Dishwasher drawers that are 24” or 30” wide can accommodate10 place settings and are a savvy solution to kitchens with a smallfootprint.•Deep drawers with full extension and the soft close feature forpots and pans are replacing cabinet doors. This improves acces-sibility and eliminates banged up door backs. Pull out racks forspices located near the cook top and roll out shelves for trashcansare also popular.•The use of natural materials (stone and wood) for counters andfloors will continue to gain acceptance as their costs drop due toincreased consumer demand and price competition. Most Graniteused for counters is sourced in China has a large carbon footprintas it must be shipped across the Pacific Ocean. It is mined in openquarries in China that pollute the air and water. A preferred coun-tertop surface is made from Quartz (Cambrian®, Zodiac®, orCaesar stone®) and never requires resealing like stone surfaces. Ittolerates big fluctuations in temperature and resists staining andbacterial growth because it is nonporous.

Good design advice doesn’t cost money; rather it builds value inthe end product. A consultation with a design professional willafford you the opportunity to learn all your options before youbegin a project and provide you with reliable resources.

Gather items for sale. Go through those boxes in the attic, shed,closet or garage and select items you can sell. Then walk fromroom to room in your home, identifying things you no longerneed. Most of us have trouble parting with things, even if wenever use them: The motto is, if you haven’t used something forover a year, it’s a good sign you won’t miss it!

Inventory each item on a sheet of paper as you identify it forsale. A lot of people skip this step, but it can make your sale goa lot smoother. Price tags have a strange way of getting lost atgarage sales, and it’s hard to come up with a fair price on the spot.1) Sell on Saturday - Saturday’s is the day to host a successfulgarage sale. “Some cities require a permit for sales held duringthe week and Sundays are reserved by many people for churchservices and family activities.”2) Have a Helper - Good planning starts with getting a team offamily and friends together to help the day of the sale. “You’llneed someone to go out early in the morning and put up all yoursignage and a couple of people to be ready to open and work the sale.”3) Check restrictions - Check your HOA and city regulations forany restrictions before planning your garage sale.4) Start early - People are out early in the morning looking forsigns so plan to start your sale at 8:30am.

5) Sell with your neighbors - Plan adate that works with all of you,because neighborhood sales willdraw more buyers. 6) Make sure you take cash only andkeep your money in a safe place dur-ing the sale.7) Good signage is key to a success-ful sale. Use large pieces of white foam board or cardboard, onthe median areas which should be put out very early on themorning of the sale; include your address, time of sale and thecross street. 8) Price everything in advance and be willing to negotiate oneverything.9) Don’t sell anything that is potentially unsafe .10) Get them to stop and park by putting “big ticket” and popu-lar items such as TVs out front.11) Use tarps and tables to display your merchandise.12) Limit “holds”. Don’t offer to hold items for a buyer formore than 45 minutes.15) Display like a store.

How To Hold A Garage Sale

It differs from obsessive-compulsive disorder as theworries in OCD are generally nonsensical in nature,

from panic disorder in that the individual with GAD isn’t havingpanic attacks, and from phobias where the anxiety is limited tospecific objects or circumstances. Of course, complicating theclinical picture is the fact that many people with GAD may alsohave other problems, including OCD, panic disorder and phobias.As is the case with most other disorders, GAD isn’t diagnosed

unless the anxiety substantially interferes with key areas of func-tioning, such as at school or work or in relationships.Additionally, other symptoms such as muscle tension, fatigue,irritability, abdominal problems as well as sleep disturbance typi-cally accompany the excessive worry. Although the cause ofGAD is not well known, it’s likely that factors such as geneticsand life experiences play a significant role in its development. Living with GAD can be exhausting both for the person with it

and for those closest to him or her. Fortunately, there is help.Cognitive-behavioral therapy is often a very effective treatmentfor GAD and many people may also find considerable relief bytaking medications. A good resource is the website for theAnxiety and Depression Association of America (adaa.org) as itoffers comprehensive information about the disorder, as well as adatabase of clinicians who specialize in treating anxiety.

More Than Just Worry:Understanding GeneralizedAnxiety DisorderAnxiety is both normal and a healthy reac-tion to life’s myriad of stressors. We need itto function in our daily lives, and to protect

us when the situation warrants it. Anyone who has driven a carknows the feeling: you’re on the freeway minding your own busi-ness, and then suddenly another car comes into your lane. Youradrenaline starts pumping, your heart is beating faster, and yourbreathing is probably becoming more rapid. You quickly assessthe situation, and do whatever you have to do to be safe. Then,it’s hopefully over in a heartbeat and you drive off safely. Withoutour “fight of flight” reaction being triggered in that type of situa-tion the outcome could potentially be a lot less favorable.Similarly, preparing for a speech, taking a test, performing in aplay and playing sports all require at least some anxiety to helppromote peak performance.Many years ago one of my patients said to me that he didn’t

want to feel any anxiety at all. I told him that it wouldn’t be help-ful for him even if it were possible, which it isn’t of course. He,like 6.8 million adults in the U.S. (from adaa.org), suffers from apotentially debilitating psychiatric illness called generalized anx-iety disorder or GAD. It’s characterized by unrelenting andexcessive worry typically associated with real life circumstancessuch as family, work and money and is more likely to occur inwomen than men.

The Therapist’s Corner

As you may have already heard, theannual STAR test taken by elementarythrough high school students will bereplaced with a new test starting thespring of 2015, called the SmarterBalanced assessment. This will alter theannual testing routine for students ingrades 3-8 and 11 in twenty-two partic-ipating states (including California),along with a handful of grade 9 and 10students from participating schools.

Smarter Balanced assessment is performed fully on the com-puter, and is not timed, but expected to take 2.5-4 hours tocomplete. It is aligned with the Common Core standards forEnglish language arts/literacy and mathematics, and focuseson the curriculum taught throughout the school year and prepa-ration for college and careers. The goal of the Common Coreis to relate testing more closely to real-life situations, by ask-ing students to give reasoning and use technology to answerquestions, instead of selecting multiple choice answers. It willalso alter some teaching methods practiced in school by focus-ing more on collaboration and active thinking than memoriza-tion of facts. Smarter Balanced will be giving out a number of“field tests” this year as a trial to see the effectiveness of thetest before it is released in the spring of 2015. Carlmont HighSchool students in the 10th and 11th grade took the test lastmonth, on April 28th-30th. This new testing experience isimplemented in the hopes of building a stronger educationalsystem for rising young students, and further motivate today’syouth to be active and progressive in schools across thenation.

Go Ahead – Break the Rules!By Adena DiTonno, Wardrobe & Image Consultant

We’ve all grown up with a few fashion rules in our heads – whether from ourmothers or grandmothers, or from our school days, or wherever. It’s good to revis-it those ‘rules’ from time to time and see if they still make sense. Maybe you’llwant to consider breaking a few of these:Blue and black don’t go together. This is one rule you can toss out – blue andblack are both great neutrals on their own and they can pack a ‘pow’ when com-bined, especially in a color-blocked fashion. Guys - a blue and black checked (orpaisley) shirt is a great staple because you can (obviously) wear it with both yournavy and black trousers. Whether it’s a dark navy, a royal or a brighter blue, theyall work well with black today.If you’re wearing all one color, it must exactly match. An outfit in all onematching color can be very impactful. But don’t limit yourself – the color does-n’t have to be exact in every part of the outfit, as long as the undertone (cool orwarm) is the same. I’m a big fan of wearing all one color in various shades – it’sharmonious to the eye, yet is every bit as intriguing as a solid column of the samecolor.If you wore a trend the first time around, you can’t wear it now. Yes you can– maybe – you’ll just need to experiment. Fabrics are different now than theywere before, so the silhouette and feel of an item are likely going to be different.In general, if a particular style from the past looked good on you, it’s worth check-ing out. In all cases, you need to try on the item and see if it’s still flattering toyour shape and in keeping with your current style. For example, if you’ve alwaysloved jumpsuits and looked good in them, now would be a good time to try someon because they are back in the stores this season.You can’t wear gold and silver together. You may be relieved to know that it’sabsolutely acceptable to wear mixed metals today. Many jewelry designers arecombining silver and gold beautifully – and don’t forget rose gold, if that’s a colorthat works with your skin tone. Maybe you’ll find new life in your jewelry boxby combining pieces you’ve always worn separately. www.adenadesigns.net

WINE APPRECIATIONBy Tom Barras

From LYNN’s KITCHEN(Or how a former Connecticut Yankee embraced CaliforniaCuisine) – Lynn Kathleen Adams

Both neophyte and veteran wine enthusi-asts should be aware that there are dis-tinct differences between casual winedrinking and formal wine tasting. Eventhough they have similar swirl, sniff, sipand savor routines, their relative mind-sets and intentions, as well as the result-ing observations and conclusions ema-nating from each, are quite different.

The goal of wine tasting is to make a quality assessment ofthe wine; that it has good color, aromatics, flavor, balance,and finish, and is a true representation of its type. As such,the tasting process requires concentration, and involvement.In a group setting, it’s typically a studious arrangement whereno conversation is permitted between participants until theyhave finished their evaluations. (A bit snooty? Perhaps, butthe intent is that one person’s opinion should not alter or oth-erwise affect another’s. Sharing, interaction, and exchange,which often bring forth new awareness of unseen details, takeplace only after voting or ranking is finalized.)

On the other hand, the aim of wine drinking is to enjoy itwithout any overt effort to assess its various components.Wine drinking typically occurs in the context of eating andthe pleasures of dining. Wine exists for that purpose.Additionally, in the dining environment, it is important thatthe wine be reasonably compatible with the food. One slight-ly under appreciated wine verity, however, is a wine can def-initely be perceived one way during a formal tasting and quitedifferently with food. This is not an uncommon occurrence,because of food and wine interactions that echo their similar-ities and/or accentuate differences in elements like acidity,sweetness, scale, flavor, and texture.

What this all suggests is not the irrelevance of tasting withregard to drinking. Rather, it hints at some interesting andentertaining possibilities. At an upcoming dinner with friendsyou might consider combining a casual tasting of two wines(with different underlying grapes) prior to dinner, with, again,a casual evaluation of how they taste and interact with thefood during dinner. That is, a wine tasting followed by afood-with-wine tasting.

Such an exercise can be instructive and entertaining in a sev-eral ways. First, during the formalized wine assessment youwill observe and learn how the wines differ from each other;how their various components reveal themselves. Secondly,once you compare them with alternating food intakes, youwill then note their relative affinity with that evening’s fare.On the other hand, if this all sounds terminally idiotic to you,as I’m certain it must to some, feel free to do what one of ourrecent dinner guests did. He declined exploring and sharingthe pleasures of some world class wines and opted to drinkbeer. Our gain, his loss.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAYAh! Hope that you are all enjoying our wonderful spring weather! Nowis the time for gardening and planting our butterfly garden flowers and herb gardens to enjoy later in the summer. Our JapaneseMaples have bloomed, and the birds are all enjoying bathing in the birdbath, much to the delight of our two Manx purr babies, who watchintently from the greenhouse kitchen window.

My herb garden has been neglected for the past year, so I am eager toclear out some of the weeds and other curious plants that appear to haveovertaken my thyme and sage. The rosemary plant seems indestructible,but the other herbs – marjoram, basil, oregano, etc. – have long disap-peared. We love tarragon, but it needs coaxing to grow. Perhaps it justneeds me to leave it alone for awhile so it can grow, instead of constantsnipping!

May is always a delight because it affords the opportunity to celebrateMother’s Day. For those of us with Moms who live far away, or are nolonger with us, we can still celebrate with family and friends. ThisCheesy Breakfast Casserole is unbelievably easy to make – it is literal-ly almost “thrown together.” It’s easiest if you prepare it the nightbefore serving, but can also be made early in the morning – it just takesa little longer to bake because the hash brown potatoes have not quitethawed!

This goes nicely with warm buttery croissants and/or a colorful fruitsalad (melon and some assorted seasonal berries), freshly squeezedorange juice and steaming hot coffee. You’ll have energy for working inthe garden or taking a leisurely walk around our beautiful RedwoodShores community.

CHEESY BREAKFAST CASSEROLE1 28 oz. bag of frozen O’Brien Hash Brown Potatoes1 lb. Bacon, cut into pieces, fried and drained1 7 oz. can Diced Green Chilies, drained3 Cups shredded cheddar cheese1 Dozen Eggs1 Cup Milk1 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt1/2 Teaspoon Dry Mustard1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black PepperChopped Green Scallions, for garnish

Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with PAM or other cooking spray. Pour thefrozen potatoes into the prepared baking dish, and top with the greenchilies, bacon and cheese. Beat the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and dry mus-tard together in a mixing bowl, and pour it over the potato mixture.

You can prepare the casserole the night before, and leave it (covered) inthe refrigerator until the next morning. Let it sit at room temperature forabout 30 minutes or so, before popping it into a preheated 375 degreeoven.

Bake the casserole for approximately 45 minutes or until the edges arebrown and the center is firm. Sprinkle with chopped green scallions ifyou wish for some added color before serving. Enjoy!Serves 6 – 8.

Is It Time to Review Your LifeInsurance Needs? Make Sure the

Ones You Love are ProtectedYou’re tying the knotWhen you were single, you may not havethought much about life insurance. But nowthat you’re getting married, someone elsemay be depending on your income. If one ofyou should die, the other spouse may need torely on life insurance benefits to meet expens-es and pay off debts. The amount of lifeinsurance coverage you need depends on your

income, your debts and assets.

You’ve become a parent When you become a parent, it’s time to take another look at yourlife insurance needs because your family’s financial security is atstake. Life insurance proceeds can help your family meet boththeir current expenses (such as a mortgage, day care, or car pay-ments) and future expenses (child’s college education). If youalready have life insurance make sure your beneficiaries are updat-ed.

You’re contemplating divorceDuring a divorce, you’ll have a number of pressing financial issuesto address. You’ll want to think about what protection you need incase of your death. and what protection your children (if any) willneed in the future. Life insurance ownership and obligations maybe addressed in your divorce settlement, and state laws vary, so askyour attorney for advice and information.

Your children have left the nest If having children was the reason you originally purchased lifeinsurance, you may feel that you no longer need coverage onceyour children are living on their own. Take a look at the types andamounts of life insurance you have to make sure your spouse isprotected and use it to help you transfer wealth.

You’re ready to retire As you prepare to leave the workforce, you should revisit yourneed for life insurance. You may find that you can do without lifeinsurance now if you’ve paid off all of your debts and achievedfinancial security. But if you’re like some retirees, your financialpicture may not be so rosy. You may still be saddled with mortgagepayments, tuition bills, and other obligations. You may also needprotection if you haven’t accumulated sufficient assets to providefor your family. Or maybe you’re looking for a way to pay yourestate tax bill or leave something to your family members or tocharity. You may need to keep some of your life insurance in forceor even buy a different type of coverage.

Your health has changed You may need long Term care and thatcan be done thru Life Insurance.
