CAring For Your hoMe & The ShoreS
All Shores residents should be familiar with the term
Covenants, Codes & Restrictions (CC&Rs). Whether you
live in one of our many Home Owners Associations (HOAs)
or in the original sections of the Shores, EVERY property in
94065 has CC&Rs, including Shores Businesses (SBCA).
e governing association map is as follows:
Redwood Shores Community Association
Authority for Architectural Review and Enforcement
RSCA is a community association serving Redwood Shores
since 1971. e Architectural Design Board of Redwood
Shores (ADB) is the legal custodian and administrator of the
CC&Rs for homes built prior to 1981. e CC&Rs are
attached to the deed of property of most residences west of
Shell Parkway. Compliance with the CC&Rs is neither
optional nor dependent upon RSCA membership. You should
have received a copy of the CC&Rs when you purchased your
home. If you need a new copy of the CC&Rs, they can be
purchased through RSCA by contacting <ADB@rsca.org>.
Redwood Shores Owners Association
Authority for Architectural Review & Enforcement
RSOA is the umbrella homeowners association for all
residential developments built in the Shores after 1981. As a
master planned community, RSOA includes 4,084 residential
units (approximately 80% of the residences in the Shores)
specifically, 3,173 single-family homes within 26 local HOAs,
4 apartment complexes (807 units), and one cooperative (104
units). RSOA is a common interest development and
membership is mandatory by virtue of owning property
within its jurisdictional boundaries. RSOAs mission is to
maintain the aesthetic integrity, identity, and appeal of its
member neighborhoods. is translates to ensuring that all
modifications are improvements and go through an
orderly process of review and approval, prior to
construction of modifications to exteriors, improvements
to waterfront yards, and new construction and
redevelopment. (For more information, see rsoa.info).
CC&Rs and Architectural Guidelines often address the
following main points:
No dwelling of any kind shall be erected, placed, altered
or maintained, nor shall any landscaping or planting be
placed or maintained on any property that does not
conform to the standards, requirements, prohibitions
and provisions of the CC&Rs. All modifications and
improvements must be submitted to and approved by
the governing agency before any construction begins.
Grass, hedges, shrubs, vines and plantings of any type
shall be maintained in a healthy and thriving condition
and shall be kept trimmed, be mowed, trimmed and cut
at regular intervals so as to remain neat and attractive.
Trees, shrubs, vines and plants that die must be promptly
removed and replaced with comparable plants.
What you do with your property aects the whole
neighborhood. When it's neglected it detracts value.
Just as a homeowner is legally bound to follow the CC&Rs,
the governing agency is required to enforce them. Governing
agencies may do inspections weekly, monthly, quarterly and
will send a notice by mail to outline what corrections need
to be made, and the timeframe. All homeowners should be
aware of the CC&Rs theyve agreed to upon purchase of their
home, as well as bylaws and other governing documents in
an HOA. Also keep in mind that individual HOA
documents may not be up to date with current laws. e
Davis Sterling Act has defined some of the things that HOAs
can and cannot do. Laws change frequently, and a property
management company may provide assistance to an HOA
board of directors. e RSCA and RSOA may also be able
to help share procedural, administrative and historical
information for the benefit of our whole community.
Individual HOAs may benefit from shared services such as
security, landscape, pool maintenance, etc.
Just as you must take care of your home, your
neighborhood, and abide by trac safety laws, its important
to help keep our shared resources nice and clean for all to
enjoy as well. Our parks, trails, playgrounds and lagoons
should be free of litter. Dog owners have a double
responsibility to keep their four-legged companions on a
leash when out in public spaces, and to make sure to pick
up any waste that they may leave behind!
ank you all for making the Shores a GREAT place to
LIVE and WORK. If you are available or interested in
volunteer projects or events, or have not yet become a
member of RSCA, please email us at <info@rsca.org>.

FroM The M AYor
Like everyone else this time of year, I find myself thinking
more about the freedoms I enjoy, having been fortunate
enough to have been born and raised a citizen of the USA.
As I was perusing the internet and reading about freedom I
came across a quote that made me pause and think
What is real freedom? Real freedom is being able to
not have my way and still be just as happy as if I did.
Joyce Meyer.
e freedoms I enjoy are because others have happily put
aside having their way to ensure I could have mine. People
I dont even know, serving in the armed forces, have set aside
their comfort, time with their families, and safety to ensure
I could relax in the many freedoms I am aorded. And it
doesnt just apply to those serving in the military. e men
and women of our public safety agencies put aside their own
needs to ensure that, day-to-day, I experience freedom and
the preservation of peace.
So, how can that shape our thoughts about freedom? While
most of us dont serve in the military or public safety, we can
apply the same attitude. Seeking to put the needs and
freedoms of others first rather than demanding our freedoms.
As I think about this in my own life, I dont have any easy
answers other than I believe it involves developing an
understanding of others, slowing down, looking around, and
finding even little ways I can put the needs of others first.
Maybe it is as simple as letting a harried, toddler-toting mom
go ahead of me in line at the store. Maybe it is giving up that
perfect parking spot for the car trailing behind me. Maybe it
is slowing down and letting another driver, who doesnt have
the right-of-way, go first. Maybe it is cleaning up a mess I
didnt make, so that someone else doesnt have to.
While these arent lifesaving ideas,
they put me in a mindset of learning
to be happy for how others benefit
while not getting my own way.
And, that mindset can only lead to
a better community.

City. e first person to email the correct
answer to <jseybert@redwoodcity.org>
will be recognized in the following
months PILOT and win a small prize
(you may only win one time).
I want to mention two winners for answering the June trivia
Originally
question: What Redwood City positioned
departmentinis Atlantic City
older than the
city itself; having been formed in 1861?
Erica S. correctly answered its the Fire Department.
And, though not technically a department of the City,
Chuck C. very astutely pointed out that the Port was
formed in 1851 as El Embarcadero.
Here is this months trivia question:
Redwood City once had an airport that claimed touch
downs by both Amelia Earhart and Eddie Rickenbacher.
What was the name of this airport?

Outfitting Your Home to Age in Place
While moving to a retirement or assisted living facility may
be the right decision for some, more and more people are
choosing a concept called Aging in Place. is idea consists
of retrofitting ones home to make it safe and accessible for
the elderly, allowing seniors to remain in the familiarity of
their own homes longer. Here are some ideas on how you
can enhance the safety of your home as you prepare to enter
your golden years.
1. Prevent Falls, Especially in the Bathroom
Bathrooms are the number one place where falls occur, so
the majority of safety-enhancing design changes should be
made there. Installing grab bars in the shower, tub and toilet
area can help prevent falls, but theres no reason these
additions need to look institutional. Manufacturers have
created grab bars that are less utilitarian-looking, and more
stylish and multifunctionalfor example a unique toilet
paper holder that doubles as a grab bar, or a towel rack with
grab bar. Another important bathroom change is a curbless,
walk-in shower to eliminate trip hazards, and installing a
comfort-height toilet to make it easier to sit and stand. is sleek bathroom incorporates a grab bar and a curbless

Nothing Ordinary About Ordinary Time
By Richard Watkins
As of Monday, June 6th the Catholic Church transitioned from the
Easter Season back to Ordinary Time. Not little o ordinary as in
normal, standard, usual, regular, commonplace or mundane.
Rather, Ordinary with a capital O. From the Latin word ordinalis,
which refers to numbers in a series and from ordo, which we get the
English word order. So, for the Church, Ordinary Time is the
sequential number of weeks leading up to Advent and following
Christmas and then again leading up to Lent and following Easter.
ink of it in terms of if Christmas represents the birth of Jesus and
Easter represents Jesus death and resurrection, comparatively,
Ordinary Time represents the life of Jesus. Which can also be
thought of as the time of hope.
As such, Ordinary Time is represented by the color green. Green is
synonymous with spring; the new awaking of nature. e promise
of new life after a cold and dormant winter. Just as Jesus time on
earth and his ministry was the new awaking of hope. But is wasnt
just the promise of new life after death, like a plant re-budding and
re-flowering. Rather the promise of unending and everlasting life of
the spirit despite the shortcomings and failings of the physical body.
But why does Ordinary Time matter? If one believes that Jesus was
born to be the Messiah and that he was crucified and rose from the
dead to fulfill his mission as the Christ, shouldnt that be enough?
If it were, then why have Jesus live his life at all. He could have gone
from birth to death and resurrection instantaneously and that would
have been that.
e life of Jesus is a crucial piece to ones salvation. After all, do we
really think that anyone would have believed Jesus was the Christ
without His teachings, testimony and the miracles He performed?
Of course not. at is why it is important to think, that
comparatively, Ordinary Time today represents Jesus life and
ministry then.
For example, take the 23 Sunday in Ordinary Time which will be
celebrated on September 10. e prevailing opinion by most might
be something like the 23rd Sunday wont be here for some three
months and on top of that, its September. Nothing important in
the Church happens in September.
However, the first reading, from the book of the prophet Ezekiel,
speaks to how calls on all of us to turn others away from sin lest we
be held responsible:
us says the LORD: You, son of man, I have appointed
watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say
anything, you shall warn them for me. If I tell the wicked,
"O wicked one, you shall surely die, and you do not speak
out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die
for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death. But
if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and
he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but
you shall save yourself.
Page 10 July 2017 e PILOT
Additionally, the second reading of St. Pauls Letter to the Romans,
speaks to striving to live up to the Greatest Commandment:
Brothers and sisters: Owe nothing to anyone, except to love
one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the
law. e commandments, "You shall not commit adultery;
you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet," and
whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up
in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as
yourself." Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the
fulfillment of the law.
Now imagine, because one decided to skip going to Mass on the
23rd Sunday, these messages where not heard. And because they
were not heard the were not acted upon and because they were not
acted upon that person who didnt go to that mass might be held
responsible for someones elses death because they sinned and no
one was there to warn them of the consequences of their wickedness.
Or imagine that because of not hearing Pauls proclamation,
someone did not change his or her feelings of anger or hate toward
to love so that the law was not fulfilled.
is is precisely why Ordinary Time should never be looked at,
considered or treated any less than LACE time (Lent, Advent,
Christmas and Easter). ink of Ordinary Time like being books.
While the book ends of Christmas and Easter keep the books
together and in order, the books themselves provides knowledge and
information through the words found within. Besides, without the
books, there would be no need for the book ends.

e good news for tennis players in the Shores is that work on
the Dolphin Park courts (or Quay as they are known locally)
has been completed. All four of our public courts are now
open, so it should be a bit easier to find one free for casual play.
e May tournament was held on the 20th. e draw was
small, only seven men and five women. e matches went o
as planned, however, with everyone assigned four rounds and
one bye. Its thanks to Cynthia Hunton, who did the draw,
that even with so few players we didnt have to resort to mixed
doubles. Scores were all over the place, with some eight-game
rounds ending in a 4-4 tie and others 6-2 or 7-1. All in all, it
was fun and challenging. Each players score was tallied by
total number of games won, and winners were announced at
the social that evening.
We were in a pinch for the
social, because no one had
signed up to host for the
month of May. But at the
last minute, Barb Urrutia
stepped up to volunteer.
Many thanks to her for
opening her home to the
twenty or so members who
attended. In keeping with
the creative theme of
Leftovers, there were
pulled pork sandwiches,
pasta and sausage, a polenta
dish, bread pudding, and
many other delicious
variations on the leftovers idea. Everyone took advantage
of the perfect weathera rare warm evening with no
windto enjoy eating on Barbs waterfront deck.
After the meal, Sundar Venkateswaran, the clubs social
director, awarded the prizes. First place among the women was
a tie between Cynthia Newton and Jan Porter, and second
place went to your correspondent, Monique Seibel. Valery
Soloviev took first place among the men, and second place
went to one of our newer members, George Caragea (pictured
above). Each winner received a bottle of herb-infused olive oil.
Upcoming events are the open play on July 8th and the
tournament on July 15th. You must be a member to play.

THE DAY BUSTER POSEY FROZE
by Harvey Radin
Usually I dont do hyperbole, Im low-key. But several weeks
ago, I remember it well when the Giants game was on. Buster
Poseys at bat. And the game is exciting. e Giants are really
in it; theyre looking like our World Series champions of yore.
Without warning, Buster freezes. Not literally. Not Buster
himself. It isnt a panic attack. e TV picture freezes.
So, heres the hyperbole... OMG! You know its serious
when OMG is all caps. Turned out there was some kind of
cable issue impacting the Shores. Imagine everyone jiggling
cables and cords attached to their TVs, iPads, laptops and
everything else that links us to the ballpark and the rest of
the outside world. Jiggling doesnt help a bit. Buster is still
frozen on the screen with a determined look on his face.
Quick, check the modem! OMG! e lights are fluttering.
Some of them arent on at all. Okay, call the cable service
provider! e recorded message is grim. Service could be out
for several hours. All right, lets consider some options. Like
catching the game on the car radio. Or...does anyone have a
plug-in radio? Or one thats battery operated? Or even an old
transistor radio that still works? Help! Weve lost connectivity!
Technology sometimes throws you for a loop,
just like Mother Nature.
After all the rain this past winter, isnt it surprising that so
much wild, natural foliage is looking kind of desert-like.
is is only a theory, but is it possible that some plant species
sort of sense seasonal changes? So that even if theyve had
something like three feet of rainy-season precipitation
dumped on them, when the season shifts to spring, the
foliage thinks... Hey, awesome!! Its spring. Lets go desert
mode. What fun, faking everyone out.
But there is something that stays green year-round, the
plants and algae in Bay Area lagoons. When summer
temperatures soar, the algae, sometimes called pond scum,
grows like mad and it's not too pretty floating on the surface
of lagoons. So its good to hear the sound of the mechanical
weed cutter out on the water that trims those aquatic plants
and cleans up the algae.

Speeding on Shell Parkway is Dangerous

Last month I watched a car speed down Shell Parkway, I would like to recognize Mrs. Soto, Science Specialist, for re-

e day after this incident I found another bird dead on the redwoodshores.brssd.org
road. e day after that I found yet another gosling who had
been so badly injured he screamed every time he walked. I
waited for two hours with him until Animal Control came
to take him.
I myself have also been nearly hit twice on the crosswalk at
Shell and Marine, the cars missing me by just inches. In
our condominium complex we have an elderly woman who
walks along Shell which in some places does not have a
sidewalk with her shopping cart. She and others are quite
vulnerable to speeding drivers.
I think the City of Redwood City needs to place speed bumps
on Shell Parkway between Davit and Marine Parkway, or
reduce the speed limit on Shell. Speeding on that stretch of
road creates a deadly hazard for both wildlife and pedestrians.
Note: If you see something wrong, dont be afraid to say something.
Call the police to report someone driving recklessly, capture a
license plate number if possible. If you drive along Shell Parkway,
PLEASE slow down and pay attention to others along the way.

TIME FOR JULY BBQ RIBS
Lynn Kathleen Adams
Who doesnt love a family and friends gathering for the
4th of July Holiday, or actually any excuse to invite everyone
over for a backyard pool party and barbecue? Our daughter,
son-in-law and grandchildren always host an annual 4th of
July party, complete with festive holiday decorations, yard
games, delicious food and drinks, sparklers, and pool towels
galore for those inclined to engage in pool noodle fights or
diving challenges to find silly items at the bottom of their
sparkling backyard pool.
is is a casual yet carefully planned event, with the hosts
providing the main entree and guests bringing their favorite
dishes or trying out newfound recipes which they believe will
be the perfect accompaniments to grilled steaks or chicken.
Did you ever wonder how many fabulous recipes for deviled
eggs one could envision? Or the endless dierent variations
on potato salad there are? Its always great fun to explore the
possibilities that exist with hungry guests and children willing
to be adventuresome and try new dishes.
ese barbecued baby back ribs are always a favorite it does
take some advance preparation time to start cooking slowly
in the oven, so plan your time accordingly. But they are a

tender, delicious, crowd-pleaser!

Cup Dark Brown Sugar, separated into Cup + Cup
4 Teaspoons Garlic Salt
4 Teaspoons Pure Ancho Chile Powder
2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
1 Teaspoon Freshly Grated Black Pepper
Teaspoon Celery Salt
Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Teaspoon Cinnamon

Page 18 July 2017 e PILOT
In a bowl, mix Cup dark brown sugar with the next 8
ingredients (garlic salt through white pepper). Transfer 1
Tablespoon of the mixture into a smaller bowl, and whisk in
the cider, apple jalapeno jelly, honey, and the remaining
Cup of brown sugar. Pull the membrane o the underside
of the ribs (or ask your butcher to do this for you in advance).
Score the meat between each rib. Rub the ribs all over with
the spice mixture and place, meaty side up, onto a rimmed
baking sheet. Bake uncovered for 2 hours in the oven.
Pour the apple cider over the ribs and turn to coat. Tightly
cover ribs with foil and bake for another 1 hour.
Light your outdoor grill, or prepare your charcoal grill and
get it hot. Uncover the ribs, and move them to onto another
baking sheet or platter. Pour o some of the cooking liquid
into the BBQ Sauce and stir. Brush ribs with the BBQ
Sauce mixture and grill over moderate heat for
approximately 15 20 minutes, flipping ribs a couple of
times as needed. Let rest for about 10 minutes to cool, then
slice between the ribs and serve. Enjoy with various summer
salads, corn on the cob or other fun picnic complimentary
dishes, as well as a refreshing cool beverage!

National Night Out: Tuesday, August 1, 2017
NNO was introduced in August of 1984 through an established
network of law enforcement agencies, neighborhood watch
groups, civic groups, state and regional crime prevention
associations and volunteers across the nation. e first annual
NNO involved 2.5 million neighbors across 400 communities
in 23 states. However, the event soon grew to a celebration
beyond just front porch vigils. Neighborhoods across the nation
began to host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts and
various other community events with safety demonstrations,
seminars, youth events, visits from emergency personnel,
exhibits and much, much more. Today, 38 million neighbors
in 16,000 communities across the nation take part in National
Night Out. is event occurs on the first Tuesday in August.
