Let’s Talk Solutions
Can ONE project be a catalyst to help solve many existing local problems like parks?
The Answer is YEs.
Conceptual rendering.
Redwood City has a shortage of active park
and recreation facilities. The city is below statewide
standards for parks, which has forced youth and
adult sports teams to compete over these limited
fields and facilities.
The 50/50 Balanced
Plan will reduce the
shortage of parks and make
Redwood City a leader in
parks and recreation lands
on the Peninsula.
The 50/50 Balanced
Plan includes a 60+
acre multiple use sports
complex (with more
than a dozen new soccer
and baseball fields as well as basketball and other
facilities) and more than 100 acres of Bayside
recreation parks and other neighborhood parks.
This expansion of city park and recreation lands
“We recently had tryouts and once again we
have more kids who want to play than we can
accommodate effectively due to the shortage
of fields. The city understands the need, but has
limited resources. New field space in Redwood
City paid for by a private developer would
really help with the problem.”—Dan Gibson,
Redwood City Resident and Baseball Organizer
will be funded by the 50/50 Balanced Plan – with all
costs borne by the project.
So when groups keep arguing that housing
should be built in downtown or along the El Camino
Real corridor (which we
agree with) where will
other important public
benefits, like parks, be
located? What’s their plan
for addressing parks?
The Saltworks site,
because of its scale, can
satisfy this important
community need.
But don’t take our
word for it. See for
yourself. Examine the facts. Ask for a thorough
evaluation of our proposal and the opportunities –
all of the opportunities – presented by the
Saltworks site.

Welcome!
Here we go! Summertime in Redwood City can only get better as the July edition of The
Spectrum Magazine comes out. We are excited about it.
Our cover story is on a community favorite, George Schoenstein. As one of the founders of the annual
PAL Blues Festival, this lifelong Redwood City resident and business owner has combined his
professionalism and his commitment to the community to present a musical extravaganza while
raising much-needed funds for our community’s youth. Contributing writer Nicole Minieri will introduce
you to Schoenstein and, we hope, entice you into supporting another great community event.
Our business profile this month is on a Redwood City couple who decided late in their careers
that ice cream would be smooth sailing. Sequoia High School graduates Ken and DeAndra Axlund
started the Queen Bee Ice Cream shop in the newly renovated March Manor Shopping Center
at Florence Street and Marsh Road, and the community is glad they did. We will tell you why.
In publisher Steve Penna’s column, “As I Was Saying…,” he discusses issues in our community
and expresses his views on the controversy surrounding a sexual assault during a field trip by
Kennedy School students to Stulsaft Park.
Once again this month, we continue to bring you our regular features on senior activities, items of
community interest, news briefs, cultural and entertainment events, insurance tips from Hector Flamenco,
information from the Redwood City School District and the popular feature “A Minute With.”
We want to encourage you, our readers, to support our valuable Spectrum advertisers by using

July means summer, and summer means outdoor events and fun
with family and friends. And in Redwood City, that means the annual
Police Activities League (PAL) Blues Festival will take place. Spectrum
Publisher Steve Penna contacted our cover subject, George Schoenstein,
the founder and chairman of the event, and scheduled our cover shoot for
Wednesday, June 29, at high noon at Courthouse Square downtown.
Penna is a co-owner of one of the retail shops on the Square
(Stuff on the Square) and works each Wednesday, so he arrived to
work early that day and was joined by cover subject photographer
James Kaspar around 11:45 a.m. They were joined soon after by PAL
Executive Director Tom Cronin, who brought a shirt for the shoot, and
then by Schoenstein.
The “blues” theme took a new meaning after Penna suggested spraycoloring
Schoenstein’s hair blue and using eyebrow liner to color his
brows yellow (PAL colors) for the shoot. Being the sport that he is,
Schoenstein had no problem cooperating, and Penna began his work.
The four then headed over to the permanent stage on Courthouse
Square, where the Blues Festival is held and Schoenstein has performed
several times. They took several shots while Schoenstein played his
“blue” guitar and had some fun while he and Penna laughed about
how fun it was and how Penna gets people to “do strange things.”
Then they all headed to the Courthouse steps and in front of one of
the light posts, where the lighting was perfect.
The entire shoot took about an hour.
There are so many special and unique people in our community who
step up every day to volunteer and organize events that help others.
The Spectrum is extremely proud to present one of those this month.
Schoenstein contributes so much to our community as a business
owner and as an involved citizen. We salute his dedication to our
youth and hope he serves as an inspiration for others to emulate.
Now let’s all get our blues on!

As I Was
Saying…
Publisher | Steve Penna
I, like most of you, was shocked when I heard
about the five Kennedy Middle School students
who have been accused of trying to rape two
12-year-old girls on a school field trip to Stulsaft
Park in March. The girls did not report the
incident until the last week of school, when
they told their school counselor they had been
sexually assaulted on the outing. The counselor
immediately informed the school principal,
Warren Sedar, who in turn informed police,
which led to the boys being taken into custody
during one of the last days of the school year.
The boys, ages 13 and 14, appeared in juvenile
court last month at the Youth Services Center in
Belmont and are charged with felony counts of intent
to commit rape, sexual battery and committing a
lewd act on a minor under 14 by force. They were
arraigned and set for trial this month.
According to District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe,
the boys could not be charged as adults and are
being charged as juveniles, meaning if convicted,
they cannot be held past their 25th birthday. It has
not been disclosed yet whether any of the students
are undocumented residents.
School district authorities said the alleged attack
occurred March 4, when 20 Kennedy Middle
School students went to the park, chaperoned
by a teacher and an aide. The 10-to-1 ratio is in
accordance with policy. Reports indicate that there
were also two adult chaperones on the outing.
The juveniles all belonged to an optional
newcomers class for students who’ve been in
the country less than one year. The district didn’t
disclose whether the students involved in the
crime were separated from the others as part of the
program or left the larger group on their own. But
what is known is that the students were out of the
supervision of any adult or school official for an
extend amount of time.
The district is conducting an internal investigation
of the incident and the safety procedures in place,
stated district Superintendent Jan Christensen. She
also stated that she was “very distressed by the report.”
“Nothing matters more to us than the safety of
our students, and we are thankful the police acted
quickly after the students reported this incident to
their counselor. Our first priority is to assure that
students are always safe at school and on field
trips,” Christensen said in a prepared statement.
Yes, indeed, police have acted fast and often
in regard to the middle school. In fact, during the
last school year, police received an average of 1.5
calls per school day from Kennedy administrators
and also from concerned neighbors, according to
police reports.
Throughout the school year, there was one
report of sexual battery on Sept. 9, in addition
www.SpectrumMagazine.net
to the attempted rape incident. Other charges
included: three reports of assault or battery, seven
reports of possession or possible possession of
marijuana by a minor, six arrests, four reports
of attempted robbery and one of attempted
theft, three reports of vandalism, one report of
obstructing or resisting a peace officer, one online
impersonation with intent to harm, and four
reports of mentally disturbed individuals.
So the incident at Stulsaft is obviously a
continuation of unlawful activities that occur on
the westside campus daily. Kennedy Principal
Sedar has since been reassigned to another school
but, according to district officials, the move was
planned before the incident came to light.
One’s first instinct would naturally be to blame
the school district and the faculty and adults involved
— which I do to a certain extent. Should parents
expect their children to be supervised the entire
time they are on a field trip? I say yes, most certainly
in one form or another. Where were these adults?
To let a group of seven students go off on their
own at Stulsaft Park, where there are unknown
adults, gang activity and graffiti, homeless
residents, and other people not connected with
the school or district roaming the park — and to
let them do so for a long period of time — is in
my opinion unreasonable and, to be quite honest,
irresponsible. Had they not been allowed to go
off on their own, this incident would not have
happened and these seven children’s lives would
not have been changed negatively forever.
I don’t know if it is the right time for the
blame game, but it is time for district officials to
recognize that current policies need to change.
It is unacceptable for this type of activity to be
related to any school, district or activity in our
community. Students are sent to school with the
basic expectation of being safe and supervised. Is
that now too much to ask?
Although all media outlets picked up and
reported on the incident, there has been minimal
outcry from our community or parents in the
district. I would go out on a limb and say that
it is most likely because the students involved
were in this country less than a year and therefore
perceived as being Latino. I can assure you, had
this incident been reported by students of upperclass
Caucasian families, our district officials
would be preparing their resignation letters. Where
are our Latino community leaders?
In the meantime, district officials are awaiting
an incident report before discussing possible
action. Much will depend on the details of reports,
including whether the staff members responsible
for the safety of the students should be disciplined
or dismissed. They are also promising their own
investigation and a review of safety policies and
procedures when it comes to off-campus school trips.
Until then, five young boys are awaiting trial
and will most likely be severely punished for the rest
of their lives. Two girls have to deal with being
traumatized and abused, while their parents are
undoubtedly talking to attorneys about lawsuits.
All this, when all of them should have been in an
environment where they were protected. Very sad
indeed. Let’s hope things do change.
.…
I recently got an email from the City of Redwood
City informing me that I “may be interested to
know that when developers seek to build multifamily
housing here, the City strongly encourages
and negotiates with them to assure that some of
the units are affordable, or ‘below-market-rate’
(BMR). This is an important aspect of helping
to provide quality housing in our community, at
various income levels. It’s one way of addressing
our ‘jobs-housing imbalance’ where the high cost
of housing makes it very difficult for many people
to work here and afford to live here.”
OK, I knew that and I can buy into that. Great
idea and something needed in our community. I
even know a local magazine publisher who might
qualify, and you will soon find out why.
In case you do not know, the city has helped
to provide the availability of affordable housing units
in a number of developments in Redwood City,
including the Franklin Street Apartments, Villa
Montgomery, City Center Plaza, Habitat for Humanity
townhomes on Rolison Road and the Wyndham
Place condominiums. And in the near future, we’ll
be seeing affordable units at the new One Marina
project on Bair Island Road and affordable,
special-needs–supportive housing on Cedar Street,
both of which are just starting construction.
All great projects and great for our
community. Redwood City has had some great
accomplishments in this area.
The email went on to inform me that “there are
six ‘moderate’ BMR rental units available at the
885 Woodside Road project.”
As you may recall, during this project’s initial
approval process, the developers were met with
resistance by neighbors who were concerned that
the units would not sell and that they would have
to be rented out, thus making the development a
less desirable neighbor for them. Guess they had a
point in their objections, wouldn’t you say, since
that is exactly what happened?
What does affordable mean? In the case of
the 885 Woodside Road development (and

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Queen Bee
By Nicole Minieri, contributing writer
Let’s face it; there is absolutely nothing more
refreshing than a big, delicious scoop (or two)
of your favorite flavor of ice cream on a sizzling
hot summer day. And, with the grand opening
of Queen Bee Ice Cream, nestled in the newly
remodeled Marsh Manor Shopping Center,
Redwood City residents now have more than just
the marine layer to cool them down. Owned and
family-run by husband-and-wife team Ken and
DeAndra Axlund, this ice cream parlor features
the famed Marianne’s ice cream from Santa Cruz
and a wide-ranging selection of exotic ice cream
flavors, frothy sweet beverages, delectable treats,
and a variety of scrumptious sundaes.
“The ambiance of the ice
cream shop is very inviting,
warm, quaint, charming and
slightly vintage. And serving
the community with a quality
product and making them
happy is really important to
all of us.”
The eclectic menu is mainly how this
independent ice cream shop has quickly gained so
much public favor over other ice cream stores in
the surrounding area since opening its doors back
in February. The shop usually carries 37 flavors,
including sherbets with no added sugar and
sorbets. “But we are a full-service ice cream shop,
serving more than just ice cream,” said DeAndra.
We make all sorts of layered milkshakes, cream
soda and root beer floats, malts, banana splits,
brownie sundaes, caramel sundaes and hot fudge
sundaes. We also have a special cappuccino ice
cream drink, where we take one scoop of ice
cream and then pour cappuccino on top. And [we]
bake fresh homemade snickerdoodle, chocolate
chip and oatmeal raisin cookies every Sunday.”
Two particularly enticing specialties that are
made from scratch on the premises have had
customers coming back for more. “We make our
own homemade ice cream sandwiches in the
back. We bake four different types of cookies,
and then let the customer choose the ice cream
they want for the middle,” said DeAndra. And, in
May, she premiered another signature sweet treat,
ice cream cupcakes: small, angel heart–shaped
cupcakes with ice cream, filled in the center and
topped with frosting and miniature decorations.
Choosing a prime location such as Marsh
Manor for the ice cream shop has certainly been
advantageous for this business. “I have been
coming to this shopping center for many years
to get my hair done. I noticed some vacancies
and also that they were renovating it. There
weren’t any ice cream stores in the area, but lots
of families, so we thought it would be the perfect
spot. The neighborhoods around us have been
very supportive and are pleased to have an ice
cream store here. Plus, there are many businesses
in walking distance, so we get a lot of traffic,”
said DeAndra.
With their three daughters grown and after she
had worked as a social worker for over 31 years,
DeAndra and Ken, who have been married for
25 years, felt it was the perfect time to open up
a business. “My husband and I originally talked
about opening up an ice cream store about nine
years ago, but our girls were still in grammar
school. And now seemed like a better time since
they are older and can help us at the store,” said
DeAndra. “Even my dad, who is 86, comes once a
week from Sunnyvale to help us out in the store.”
Being able to own and operate an ice cream
shop with her immediate family brings back a
lot of fond childhood memories for DeAndra,
who was an only child. She was born and raised
in Redwood City and attended local schools:
Roosevelt, Kennedy and Sequoia, where she and
Ken met. They have been inseparable ever since.
Growing up, she shared a special bond with her
grandmother Phyllis, and she named the ice cream
store after her. “She was the next to last born of 18
children in England. Her nickname was Queen,”
said DeAndra.
The closeness DeAndra has shared with her
family, especially her grandmother, has been
intentionally incorporated into the culture of the
ice cream shop. “It’s very family-friendly here. It
reminds me of an old-time family spot I went to as
a kid,” she said. “The ambiance of the ice cream
shop is very inviting, warm, quaint, charming and
slightly vintage. And serving the community with
a quality product and making them happy is really
important to all of us. We want to make sure all of
our customers have a good experience here.”

Aloha — Return to Paradise
The Main Gallery is proud to announce the
exhibition “Aloha — Return to Paradise,”
which will run July 6 through Aug. 7. Artists
Nancy Terrebonne and Robert Terrebonne will
exhibit artworks inspired by the tropical beauty
of Hawaii, especially Maui, where they have
been part-time residents and active in the art
community for many years. A reception with the
artists is scheduled for Saturday, July 9, 6 p.m.
until 9 p.m. One or both of the Terrebonnes will
also be at the gallery to interact with visitors on
July 16, July 27, July 28, Aug. 3 and Aug. 6.
In her efforts to capture the brilliant colors and
textures of Maui, Nancy Terrebonne has created
a series of watercolor and mixed media paintings
of flowers and trees and fanciful fish. “We are
constantly reminded of how lucky we are to
experience aloha first hand,” she says. “The bright
colors speak to me, and I use my brushes and
pens and paints to capture on paper what I see and
experience whenever we travel to the islands.”
Robert Terrebonne will be displaying his
photographs of tropical subjects taken on Maui
and the other Hawaiian Islands. Many of the
photographs were inspired by colorful plants,
such as ginger and heliconia flowers, croton and
taro leaves, and palm fronds. He has also included
brilliant sunsets and typical Hawaiian animals
like the nene goose and the gecko. His photos
include recent ones taken with a digital camera as
well as some of his earlier ones taken with film
and transferred to digital format for this show.
“Many of my photos are extreme close-ups,
which capture an artistic quality not evident
to the casual viewer,” Robert Terrebone adds.
He challenges the viewer with an unexpected
treatment of his subject, evoking a deeper
response than the “pretty picture” reaction one
might have to a tourist postcard.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Queen Bee (Continued from page 7)
According to the customer comments posted on the user-review website
Yelp, DeAndra, Ken and their three daughters are doing a fantastic job in
providing exemplary customer service and serving the best ice cream and
sweet treats in town. The many rave reviews include: “Super clean and super
friendly staff and such creative ways to present ice cream treats.” “Finally
an ice cream parlor in my neck of the woods. Just what the neighborhood
needed.” “Marianne’s ice cream is rockin’, which makes this place rockin’.”
“Super nice folks run the place. Give them your business.” “The Peninsula
really did need more independent ice cream parlors, and thank goodness
Queen Bee answered that call.” “I can hands-down say they are awesome,
and I will be gaining 20 pounds.” “To get your ice cream fix on the
Peninsula, come here!”
Various sports teams come to the ice cream shop to get their fix, whether
they are celebrating a victory or just coming in for comfort food after a loss.
In any case, every team that comes in together is given a nice discount. To
expand on their business, DeAndra and Ken also do catering for just about
any type of event. “We cater to private parties, corporate events, special
events, baby showers and bridal showers,” said DeAndra. “All of these types
of events are custom orders and only require a few days prior to place the
order by phone or email.”
Despite putting in long days Tuesday through Sunday to accommodate
convenient store business hours and trying to expand on their catering
division, DeAndra still finds time to enjoy some of her favorite hobbies. “I
enjoy cooking, gardening, baking and shopping for great bargains,” she said.
“I also love spending time with my family and animals.”
And if you ask DeAndra, she wouldn’t want to have it any other way. “I
love it,” she said, referring to owning an ice cream shop. “I want to do this for
as long as I live, and I hope to pass the business on to our children and future
grandchildren.” As for now, DeAndra and Ken are very content to own and
run one ice cream shop, and if all continues to work out well, then opening
a second ice cream shop at another desirable location on the Peninsula will
definitely be a part of their future plans.
In the meantime, if you are looking to get some relief on a hot summer day
because it’s 110 in the shade, then maybe it’s time to chill out at Queen Bee
Ice Cream and get a taste of the ultimate creamery experience. Not only will
your sweet tooth be fully satisfied, but you will have made some awesome
new friends in the process!

P.S. The People Speak: Letters to the Editor
Embarrassed by those who do not want facts
Dear Editor,
As a Redwood City resident, I am embarrassed to read letters by other
Redwood City residents complaining about the unanimous decision by our
council members to move forward with the environmental impact review for
the Cargill salt ponds development project. I am proud that the city wants to
learn the facts before making a decision.
Council members made it very clear when they voted that moving forward
with the process is not the same as endorsing or supporting the project. To
suggest that the council is doing something wrong by going through the
well-established legal process for project review is preposterous. It is also
surprising that John Cieslewicz thinks that taxpayers pay for project review.
The process is well established by law so that taxpayers do not foot the
bill for review of the project. The city manages the process and bills the
applicant. Stop trying to make the city look bad for, once again, going
through the normal process.
Pay now, save our county’s future
Maria Cortes, Redwood City
Dear Editor,
With the Board of Supervisors borrowing $49 million to help meet the
needs of the upcoming budget, San Mateo County is making the deficit
larger and getting deeper in debt. That is just more money that our children,
grandchildren or great-grandchildren are going to have to pay back just to get
San Mateo County back into financial shape.
Attention San Mateo County: What we should do instead is cut more services
and departments that we can go without for the time being while we clean up
this financial mess that we are in. Unfortunately, these cuts might mean more
layoffs, but there is no other way around it. We will either pay for this mess
to get straightened out today or in the future, but we will have to pay. So let’s
start to buckle down and start saving money to help our county’s future.
Self-serving conduct? Or smart lobbying?
Dear Editor,
Both the New York Times and the San Francisco Business Journal reported
that Cargill’s designated developer for their Redwood City salt ponds,
DMB and Associates, paid $350,000 to lobby the Bay Conservation and
Development Commission (BCDC). What did DMB/Cargill get for its
money? It disseminated a false story that BCDC’s 26-page, scientifically
based proposal to study and plan for sea level rise in the bay is just an attempt
to expand its jurisdiction.
DMB/Cargill pitched this story to municipalities, some of which put a great
deal of political pressure on BCDC to delay or eliminate a vote to implement
climate change guidelines for the bay.
Why is Cargill/DMB spending this money to lobby BCDC? Because
guidelines to plan for sea level rise would likely discourage new development
in the bay at or below sea level, which is exactly what Cargill/DMB proposes
to do in Redwood City. Can Bay Area residents afford to trust Cargill/DMB
on issues of public safety when they display such self-serving conduct?

Frank Lopez, Redwood City
Not surprised at recent actions
Dear Editor,
It is no surprise that the Redwood City Chamber of Commerce was fined
by the California Fair Political Practices Commission for failing to disclose
that it spent $25,000 to oppose a 2008 local ballot measure that would
have restricted development on open space in Redwood City, including the
controversial DMB and Cargill salt ponds development. However the real
news in that story (“Chamber fined over campaign contributions” in the June
18 edition of the Daily Journal) was missed. It turns out that current and
former City Council members Jeff Ira, Jeff Gee, Jim Hartnett and Rosanne
Foust are, or were, Chamber of Commerce board members. Nancy Radcliffe,
Redwood City planning commissioner, and John Bruno, a principal of DMB
Associates, also serve on the chamber’s board. I doubt it is a coincidence
that the chamber failed to disclose its $25,000 to defeat a measure directly
opposed to DMB’s interests. This is now the second time that Redwood City
public officials have been either directly or indirectly found in violation of
California state law (the first violation was in 2010 and involved Rosanne
Foust). The decision to approve or reject DMB and Cargill’s massive
development plan for the salt ponds is still pending before the City Council
and Planning Commission. However, the public can no longer trust that they
will make a fair and impartial decision free of undue influence.

Elks Honor Redwood City Safety Officers
The Redwood City Elks Lodge
#1991 held its annual “Public Safety
Night” dinner and ceremony on
Wednesday, June 15. The following
San Mateo County safety officials
from Redwood City were honored
for their actions over the past year.
Redwood City Fire Capt. Terry Condon —
On Sept. 2, the Redwood City Fire Department
responded with other fire units to a report of
a plane down in the Redwood Shores Lagoon.
While returning to Fire Station 9 from a previous
detail, Condon heard on the radio that one
member from the E20 crew was going in the
water to assist any survivors. Condon responded
to the incident. Upon arrival, he entered the
lagoon to assist the member from E20. Condon’s
courage and determination led to the removal
of a female passenger. He continued to search
the submerged aircraft for any other survivors.
When it was determined that there were no other
survivors, Condon returned to shore.
For his selfless and courageous actions, the Redwood
City Fire Department would like to nominate
Condon for the Firefighter of the Year Award.
Redwood City Firefighter Julie Badertscher —
On Sept. 2, the Redwood City Fire Department
responded with other fire units to a report of a
plane down in the Redwood Shores Lagoon. Upon
arrival, Badertscher entered the water to assist any
survivors. Her selfless actions and determination
led to the removal of a female passenger from
the plane. Badertscher continued to stay in the
water to search the submerged aircraft for other
survivors. She returned to shore only when she
determined there were no other survivors.
For her selfless and courageous actions, the
Redwood City Fire Department would like to
nominate Badertscher for the Firefighter of the
Year Award.
Redwood City Police Officers Jesse Bets and
Steve Unga — On March 1, at approximately
19:27 hours, Officers Bets and Unga were in the
parking lot of 485 Woodside on a traffic stop. At
this time they heard two gunshots fired east of
their location. Looking toward the sound, they
observed a suspect with a handgun struggling
with another subject.
Taking immediate action, Unga ran around the
block and Bets jumped over a fence onto Ash
Street. Bets announced his presence, and the two
subjects began running away. The suspect with
the gun fled east on Ash Street. Both officers were
able to catch up to this subject, cornering him
as he was trying to hide behind a garbage can.
The suspect initially refused to obey commands
but was taken into custody without incident a
short time later. The gun was recovered near
the location of the arrest and was found to have
been reported stolen by its owner. Witnesses later
stated the suspect had been pointing the gun at
another person just prior to its being discharged.
The quick, decisive and brave action
demonstrated by Bets and Unga during this
incident may have saved the life of one or more
persons and is a testament to their commitment to
ensuring the safety of the community.

The Blues Ain’t Nothing But a Good Man Feelin’ Bad
By Nicole Minieri, contributing writer
After decades of retaining a good reputation
in the community as an expert physical
therapist, a blues concert promoter and a
multi-talented rhythm guitarist, Redwood
City native George Schoenstein remains hard at
work with his professional endeavors and has no
intention of stopping any time soon. Even when
Schoenstein is off the clock, he keeps equally
busy with his valuable humanitarian work that
completely enriches the lives of local people in
need. Clearly his creditable efforts demonstrate
how much he values keeping the community
cohesive and thriving. While we should be
grateful to have Schoenstein in our corner, we
should also be indebted to the inspiration behind
his comings and goings: good ol’ blues music.
“When I was a freshman at Woodside High
School, I started listening to KMPX [106.9 FM],
an underground radio station in San Francisco,”
said Schoenstein. “They played blues and I fell
in love with it the very first time I heard it. To me,
blues is genuine music because it has rhythm and a
story that always talks about the human experience.
I was taken back by this music from day one and
it has been the background of my life ever since.”
As a matter of fact, blues music has become a
major staple at the outpatient clinic he owns and
operates with his wife, Ruth. Schoenstein Physical
Therapy and Worker Selection Testing Inc. is located
near Redwood City’s downtown business district.
Blues music is piped throughout the facility and
blues-themed décor is displayed in every room to
encourage smiles and put all of the patients in a
good mood. “There is blues stuff all over the place,”
said Ruth Schoenstein. “It makes it a real upbeat
atmosphere and a positive one for all of our physical
therapy patients recovering from their injuries.”
But for George Schoenstein, blues background
music and paraphernalia are not the primary
reasons his patients rave about him. “We do good
work and people really like us around here,” said
Schoenstein. “I think we will be around for a
long time.” Now in its 11th year, the independent
community-based physical therapy practice has
earned a reputation as a top-notch modern-day
physical and occupational rehabilitation center.
Schoenstein and his small clinical team are
remarkably skilled at conducting thorough
physical therapy assessments, specific treatment
strategies and programs, individualized exercise
prescription, patient education and aftercare programs.
But Schoenstein is also an innovator and the
only physical therapy provider in the Bay Area
to offer worker selection testing, a specialized
strength-examination program geared toward
matching prospective employers to potential
candidates who meet the required physical
demands of a given job description. Schoenstein
administers a broad range of tailored tests to
each applicant prior to their job placement in
industries such as emergency medical systems,
concrete delivery and water bottle delivery, as
well as nursing and garden supply. “I developed
all aspects of strength-testing used towards
pre-employment for various industries,” said
www.SpectrumMagazine.net

Schoenstein. “I get to go out and lecture at different
companies and do job-site assessments. I create
all of these tests and use my own equipment. Not
very many people can do that.”
Although he is very pleased that business is booming
at his physical therapy practice, Schoenstein
and his wife still have to deal with their share of
financial setbacks on a daily basis. “We are busy
all of the time because our practice is definitely
growing,” said Schoenstein. “But despite our
growth, insurance companies are paying less
than before, so we have to keep on top of finding
productive and creative ways to stay profitable.”
Despite the economic struggles, Schoenstein
absolutely adores all of his patients as much as
he loves his profession, which happens to be
profoundly. “I really enjoy my work, and it’s the
patients that keep it very stimulating for me,” said
Schoenstein. “What’s also nice about my clientele
is the diversity. I get a lot of referrals from doctors
and that keeps my cases very broad-based. I may
have a general practice, but every day is different
and that is what I prefer.”
To date, Schoenstein has over 30 years of
physical therapy experience in general practice
environments under his belt. He graduated from
Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles School of
Physical Therapy in 1979 and furthered his
education in orthopedic manual therapy and
occupational rehabilitation. He holds clinical
certifications and is a member of the American
Physical Therapy Association. In addition,
Schoenstein is active in nonprofit organizations
such as Redwood City Police Activities League
(PAL), the American Cancer Society, Agnews
State Hospital, the National Center for Equine
Facilitated Therapy (NCEFT), Festiv Italiano,
St. Pius Catholic Church and the San Francisco
Archdiocese. He and Ruth have been happily
married for six years, and he is a devoted father
to two sons and two stepdaughters. “It’s never
about one person. It’s about a village of family,
and I have a very large family and tap into their
resources all of the time,” said Schoenstein. “My
wife, Ruth, has been very supportive and very
patient. And she has been especially supportive
with all of my blues endeavors.
This year will mark Schoenstein’s sixth consecutive
year acting as co-promoter for the PAL Blues
Festival, Redwood City’s biggest summer weekend
bash in the Courthouse Square downtown on
the weekend of July 22. Planning for this huge
recreational event started in January with Schoenstein,
PAL board member Gino Gasparini, the City of
Redwood City and Steve Penna of The Spectrum
Magazine. Over the course of the last six months,
Schoenstein and the others have put in a lot of
long, arduous hours laying the groundwork to
ensure the success of the festival. “George is a
great part of the Blues Festival,” said president of
PAL Jim Gordon. “I don’t think we could pull this
event off without him.”
“The Blues Festival is going to be big, really
big, this year,” said Schoenstein. “It is all about
blues, barbecue and beer.” The festival will
also include Arts in the Square and a 15-vendor
barbecue competition, a newly created event
open to professional and amateur chefs, both
individuals and teams. Their mission is to
barbecue beef, pork, fish and more, and then
sell their grilled specialties to the general public
during the Blues Festival. Festival-goers will be
able to vote for their favorite dishes, and a qualified
panel will judge each entry based on several
factors. After careful deliberation, a “people’s
choice award” plaque will be given to the winners
of each meat category at a finale ceremony.
However, the main attraction of this 48-hour
festive event is definitely the music, and as in previous
years, numerous authentic blues bands are scheduled
to perform in front of more than 2,000 elbow-toelbow
onlookers. On Friday night, Earl Thomas
& the Blues Ambassadors band will take center
stage and kick off the music marathon. The blues
talent featured on the lineup for the following day,
Saturday, July 23, includes Blues Cadillac, John
Le Conqueroo, Tip of the Top, Ron Hacker, Rusty
Zinn’s Roots Reggae Band, Mark Hummel with
“It’s the perfect marriage for my love of blues music and giving back to the
community. I have a lot of fun, it’s a good way to get the community to come
together and it benefits our children.”
Nathan James, Alabama Mike and 3rd Degree,
and Johnny Rawls. “It is so much fun to see the
community have a blast,” said Schoenstein.
The annual blues music blast is sponsored by
a group of local business owners and nonprofit
organizations. The list of wonderful supporters for
this year’s Blues Festival includes: San Mateo Credit
Union, Recology, See’s Candies, Provident Credit
Union, Krefeld’s Awards, Sequoia Healthcare
District, Redwood City Saltworks, Art on the
Square, NFL Alumni, Gelb Music, Downtown
Business Group, Fox Theatre, Golden Gate Blues
Society, The Spectrum Magazine, Redwood
General Tire, Saier Services, Schoenstein
Physical Therapy and Worker Selection Testing,
South San Francisco Foundation, Equilar, Uccelli
Foundation, Danford Foundation, City Pub and
Stanford University.
“I really enjoy being co-promoter for the Blues
Festival,” said Schoenstein. “It’s the perfect
marriage for my love of blues music and giving
back to the community. I have a lot of fun, it’s a
good way to get the community to come together
and it benefits our children. The Blues Festival is
about our children having a great time too. There
will be a kids’ fun zone of games and rides on one
of the side streets.”
Schoenstein is very proactive in making sure
the little ones are well cared for in the community.
“Children play a significant role in our community
and I will do anything for them,” he said. “When
it comes to children, I believe paying forward is
important because you are busy grooming them
for the future. The community is theirs too, and
we are just their caretakers, because they are next
to take care of the community.”
“George Schoenstein is just a wonderful human
being who runs completely under the radar,” said
Dennis McBride, Redwood City School District
trustee. “George heard that the Woodside High
School band needed money and put together a
fundraiser at the American Legion to help raise
funds for the band. Here was this financial need
and he automatically reached out to the students
without being asked. He is always doing what
is best for the kids in the community. George is
genuinely a nice person. There just is not enough
to say about him.”

“When it comes to children, I believe
paying forward is important because
you are busy grooming them for the
future. The community is theirs too, and
we are just their caretakers, because
they are next to take care of the community.”
When he is not tending to the welfare of a
child, rehabilitating a sports injury or booking
a prominent blues band, George “Westside”
Schoenstein is happy to be jamming on his guitar
in the Madison Blues Band. This accomplished
blues union includes Schoenstein (rhythm
guitar), Kerry Daly (vocals), “Pinetop Dave”
Bogart (keyboards), Madison Sink (guitar),
Bryan “Bad Boy Bry” Lujan (bass) and Mark
Del Bono (drums). The Madison Blues Band has
been featured at the PAL Blues Festival and is
also well-known to the local blues music scene,
performing frequently in small venues like Club
Fox and in large arenas alongside a number of
legendary blues bands. Although these talented
blues brothers are taking a little break from the
live music scene, they are still alive and kicking
and plan to return to the beat in the near future.
Thanks to Schoenstein’s enviable passion,
Redwood City now has every element of an
authentic blues music scene and a buoyant yet
stellar physical therapy practice. “It’s great to live,
work and play the blues here,” said Schoenstein.
And it’s been great having him making a
difference in the community every day. He truly
is a man for all seasons. However, Schoenstein
would want people to think of him as just an
ordinary man who fell in love with the blues. And
we all know “the blues ain’t nothing but a good
man feelin’ bad!” It’s OK, George “Westside”
Schoenstein, go on and be bad!

Redwood City Neighborhood Street Improvements
Scheduled to Begin in July
As part of its roadway preventive-maintenance program, Redwood City
is about to start road resurfacing projects on Veterans Boulevard between
Whipple Avenue and Chestnut Street and East Bayshore Road between
Seaport Boulevard and Haven Avenue.
This will provide smoother, safer, improved roadways — but will cause
some inconvenience to residents and motorists in these areas during the
work. In addition to the roadway surface improvements, both Veterans and
East Bayshore will be striped with new bicycle lanes. The work is scheduled
to begin mid-July and will be completed in approximately 10 weeks.
The total cost of this roadway improvement project is approximately $1.4
million. Redwood City has received nearly $950,000 in grants from the
Federal Surface Transportation Program to pay for about two-thirds of the
project, with the remainder funded with “Measure A” transportation funds.
Neighbors are being notified of specific scheduling and details of the
work, and appropriate “No Parking” signage is being installed. The short-term
inconvenience consists of a requirement to keep cars off the street during certain
portions of the work. The city will take all reasonable measures to minimize
the impact of construction activity in neighborhoods, though some inconvenience
is unavoidable. Motorists should expect periodic lane closures, detours, some
dust and temporary parking restrictions during construction. All roadway
users are asked to be particularly cautious during construction. If possible,
motorists should use alternate routes during the work in order to avoid delays.
Overall work hours will be 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m., but due to traffic
concerns, certain major work elements may be completed at night. Veterans
Boulevard will remain open to traffic in both directions at all times during
construction. During major work, East Bayshore Road will be under one-way
traffic control with flaggers to stop traffic so that opposing vehicles may pass.
Appropriate signage will be posted in the area.
In general, the process for this resurfacing project will involve two phases,
prep work and overlay. Prep work involves repairing failed areas and low
spots, and removing weeds. Overlay involves sweeping up loose material and
placing a two-inch layer of new asphalt on top of the existing surface. Traffic
controls will be in place to direct vehicles around the new asphalt. Drivers are
asked to proceed carefully and look for signs to direct traffic.
The city thanks residents and motorists for their patience during work
to improve Redwood City’s roadways, and apologizes in advance for any
inconvenience. Visit Redwood City’s award-winning website at www.

New Law Requires Carbon Monoxide Detectors in Homes
Starting July 1, new legislation goes into effect requiring homeowners to
install carbon monoxide detectors in every California home, a move CAL
FIRE officials say will save lives. “Carbon monoxide is a silent killer, each
year claiming the lives of an average of 480 people,” said Acting State Fire
Marshal Tonya Hoover, “and sending more than 20,000 people to emergency
rooms across the nation.”
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced from
heaters, fireplaces, furnaces and many types of appliances and cooking
devices. The best way for homeowners to stay protected from CO is to have a
carbon monoxide detector installed on every floor and outside each sleeping
area. A recent study found that nearly nine in 10 California households did
not have a CO detector. “Having a CO detector is a small investment that
really can help save your life and the lives of your family,” said Hoover.
To help educate homeowners about the new law and to encourage them
to install a carbon monoxide detector, CAL FIRE/Office of the State Fire
Marshal teamed up with fire departments across the state, the Home Safety
Council, First Alert and Lowe’s to host “CO Saturday” on June 4, a special
day-long safety celebration to teach families how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Though previous laws required only newly constructed homes to have CO
alarms, the state’s new Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act (Senate
Bill 183) requires owners of all existing single-family homes with an attached
garage or a fossil fuel source to install CO alarm devices within the home by
July 1. Owners of multi-family leased or rental dwellings, such as apartment
buildings, have until Jan. 1, 2013, to comply with the law.
For more information on how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, visit
the CAL FIRE website at www.fire.ca.gov.
Sequoia High School District to Approve $5M in Cuts
Fewer administrators, less counseling and two furlough days for teachers are
among the cuts being made by the Sequoia Union High School District Board
of Trustees as it prepares for an uncertain state budget.
Earlier this year, the board directed staff to create a plan to cut $4.5 million
to $5 million from next year’s budget. With little guidance from the state, the
board approved a $5 million cuts package.
That cut will not eliminate the deficit but will allow the district to slowly
spend down the reserves.
This year, Sequoia has a budget calling for $101.2 million in revenue and
$104.5 million in expenditures — a $3.4 million deficit, according to a staff
report. A portion of the deficit, $1.8 million, is offset by one-time federal
money.
Proposed cuts include reducing five administrative vice principal positions
for an $800,000 savings, instituting two furlough days for a $580,000 savings,
reducing counseling services by 4.6 full-time equivalent positions and savings
from closing the pools during colder months, according to a staff report.
Reducing $1.07 million in funding divided among the schools — $70,000
at Redwood High School and $250,000 at each of the others — is also part of
the plan. In total, the changes will result in a loss of more than 30 employees.
The budget assumed $4 million in additional cuts for the 2012–13 school
year and $1.7 million during 2013–14.
Redwood City School District Faces Further Furlough Days
Three furlough days for teachers, and possibly other employees, along with
using about $1.7 million in reserves are part of the Redwood City School
District budget plan for next year.
Looking at about $5 million less in revenue next year, the Redwood City
School Board of Trustees will vote on next year’s plan to continue serving
students with less.
Assuming $75.9 million in revenue and $78.2 million in expenditures,
the budget calls for three furlough days for teachers, which was previously
negotiated. The district plans to negotiate similar concessions for classified
employees. A number of positions will be reduced. For example, a portion of
a receptionist job will be lost as the district upgrades the telephone system,
hopefully cutting the workload. Less professional development money,
$61,000, will be available. The district also relies on $1.7 million from reserves.
Should the state budget require more cuts, the district will look at additional
furlough days for all employees as well as dipping further into reserves.
Port Awarded Homeland Security Grant
The Port of Redwood City is receiving a $542,490 grant from the Department
of Homeland Security to digitally map and collect data about its facilities and
infrastructure for a “visual port” used for safety and emergency response,
according to port officials.
The planned geographical information systems (GIS) and tactical survey
information system has two parts requiring separate contractors. The
Homeland Security grant, made through the San Francisco Bay Marine
Exchange, will pay for both the $84,000 contract with Redwood City and the
$445,405 agreement with Tactical Survey Group Inc., according to port officials.
GIS is a digital mapping system that identifies utilities, roads, train tracks
and land use designations in a series of visual layers. The tactical survey
gives port personnel and first responders advanced visuals and information
by integrating the port’s applications, including security, executive
management and operations management.
Redwood City finished a GIS project for internal use along with a public version.
The city’s version lacks much detail about the port, and the authorities want
to build on that platform rather than creating a new, stand-alone program
limited only to the port area, according to port officials.

Insurance Tips: What Happens If Another Driver Has an Accident in Your Vehicle
By Hector Flamenco, Special to The Spectrum
Many different factors affect the price that policyholders pay for their car
insurance. Driving records are a major concern for insurance companies
when determining prices. Each accident and ticket that makes its way onto
your driving record will increase the price of your monthly premium. Your
insurance is there to protect you in case you are involved in a collision while
driving on the roads. An auto accident can cost a lot of money in repair bills
and medical bills of both drivers and cars. Whoever is responsible for the
crash is responsible for the bills of both drivers involved. Auto insurance
rates can be influenced when another driver gets in an accident in your car as
well.
Most people who own a car are not the only person ever driving the vehicle.
You have your insurance coverage on the vehicle, and your auto insurance
rates were approved for you as the primary driver. Most people occasionally
let other people drive their cars, though, and that can lead to some issues with
your insurance coverage. Some people have friends and family members who
frequently drive their car, so they choose to add them as a secondary driver,
which increases auto insurance rates by a small amount every month. This
protects the owner of the vehicle from an increase in rates if another driver
causes a collision in their vehicle. If you do not have someone else driving
your car frequently enough to justify adding them as a secondary driver, then
all of the responsibility falls to you as the policyholder.
When another driver causes an accident in your car, the accident damage
is covered under normal circumstances. There are situations in which the
insurance company can decline coverage, but it is not common. After an auto
accident caused by another driver in your car, the insurance company first
needs to be notified about who was driving and what kind of bills they can
expect from the collision. After they pay out to cover the damages caused
by the accident, they will increase rates. The collision will not go on your
driving record, but it will go on your insurance record because they had to
pay out. Having a secondary driver listed helps avoid this increase in rates
because the increase would go on the insurance record of the other driver.
Auto insurance rates reflect the driving record of the policyholder. They
also reflect what kind of coverage the car has. If you have another driver
frequently using your car, contact your insurance agent to add them as a
secondary driver to your policy. Also, make sure you know what coverage
you have.

News Briefs
Man Wanted for Robbing Liquor Stores
A man suspected of an armed robbery of the Redwood City and Menlo
Park Beverages and More is thought to be linked to numerous burglaries
throughout the county.
On May 1, a man demanded $400 from the manager’s office at the
Redwood City BevMo, located at 1745 El Camino Real. Sixteen minutes later,
the same man is believed to have robbed the Menlo Park BevMo, located at
700 El Camino Real, according to San Mateo County court documents. San
Jose police now believe the same man committed a robbery Sunday, June 12,
in the 1100 block of Lincoln Avenue in San Jose. In total, the man is tied to
more than 20 such robberies throughout the Bay Area.
Described as a black man in his mid-30s, the suspect is thought to be 5
feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, about 200 pounds, with black hair and brown
eyes, according to San Jose police.
Earlier, San Mateo County executed a search warrant related to the BevMo
robberies for a cell phone bill.
The man is considered dangerous. Anyone with information is asked
to contact Detective Adam Hutson in the San Jose Police Department’s
robbery unit at 408-277-4166. Anyone who wants to provide information
anonymously can call 408-947-7867 or visit www.svcrimestoppers.org.
RWC Norteño Caught in New Mexico for Local Homicide
A fourth and possibly final suspect has been arrested in New Mexico in
connection with a November gang-related shooting in Redwood City that left
21-year-old Julio Pantoja Cuevas dead.
Jaime Treto Rodriguez, 20, was arrested in Santa Fe after officers
responded to a report of a domestic dispute in a casino, Redwood City police
Sgt. Sean Hart said.
Rodriguez is a known Norteño and will be charged with being affiliated
with a criminal street gang, Hart said.
Police in New Mexico determined that Rodriguez was wanted in San
Mateo County in connection with the homicide of Cuevas, who died Nov. 28
in an alley near the 400 block of Madison Avenue after being shot several
times, Hart said.
“We had an idea he either fled to Mexico or New Mexico,” Hart told the
Daily Journal. Rodriguez waived an extradition hearing in New Mexico and
is expected to be returned to San Mateo County in the next few days, Hart said.
Investigators believe the shooting followed a shoving match and an
argument over gang colors.
Three other suspects have already been arrested in connection with the homicide.
Redwood City resident Michael Rodriguez and Palo Alto resident Mario
Cazares, both now 18 years old, were arrested the day after the shooting and
remain in custody without bail, according to the San Mateo County District
Attorney’s Office. Both suspects pleaded not guilty to homicide charges Jan. 11.
Police also arrested a 15-year-old suspect at his home in January who
was then booked into the county’s Youth Services Center for murder and
participation in a criminal street gang.
Michael Rodriguez is the suspected shooter in the incident, police said, and
is not related to Jaime Rodriguez, the suspect arrested in Santa Fe.
On the night of the homicide, Cuevas was allegedly visiting three female
friends at an apartment complex at 426 Madison Ave. in Redwood City.
He was allegedly wearing a navy blue jacket with the letters “LA” on the
back when he exchanged words with a group of Norteños standing across the
street, with one sitting on a bicycle.
One of the suspects started punching Cuevas before Michael Rodriguez
allegedly pulled a weapon and fired, according to police. Cuevas was found
dead in an alleyway adjacent to the Madison Avenue apartments. Norteño
gang graffiti was clearly displayed on the exterior of the apartment complex
the day after Cuevas died.
Police were originally looking for five to eight suspects involved in the
incident but now think all of the suspects are in custody. “Jaime Rodriguez is
the final suspect we are aware of now,” Hart said.
Teen Arrested for Burglary, Second Suspect Sought
A man returning home to his C Street home in Redwood City discovered two
male juveniles attempting to pry open his rear sliding glass door, according
to police.
The victim yelled at the suspects, who then fled, and a chase ensued,
according to police. Responding officers located one of the teens in the area
of Mezes Park. The suspect, a 16-year-old Menlo Park resident, was identified
by the victim and was booked into the San Mateo County Juvenile Detention
Center for burglary and possession of burglary tools, according to police.
Anyone who has any information regarding this burglary is encouraged to
contact Detective Val Cook 650-780-7697 or Sgt. Sean Hart 650-780-7681.
As I Was Saying… (Continued from p6)
understanding the high cost of living in the Bay Area), these six affordable
units are priced to be available to households earning up to 120 percent of the
area median income, which equates to $1,890/month for a one-bedroom and
$2,370/month for a two-bedroom apartment. That means to qualify for one
of these units, for a household of two people, your annual income can be no
more than $95,450.
I am thinking the same thing you are — sorry, that does not seem like very
affordable housing to me. First of all, if a household is making over $95K, that
is pretty good, if you ask me, and I don’t think that is “moderate” at all. At
least not for Redwood City.
There are always different configurations used to determine what
“BMR rental units” will be priced at. The way they figured this particular
development definitely benefits the developer and not those who are truly in
need of housing at below-market rates. That is too bad and totally undermines
the spirit in which such units are made available to those deserving and
needing them in our community.
The email went on to state, “Overall, housing prices are still sky-high in the
Bay Area, making the City’s work to help provide for affordable housing an
important factor for a lot of people.”
I feel that this project and the abuse of the system in determination of the
“BMR rental units” are not indicative of how other projects in our community
help to benefit those needing assistance. I mean, really, who can afford a one-
bedroom apartment for $1,890 and be considered “moderate income”?
In case you have not seen the project or taken a tour of it, it is a stunning
facility and one I sought to live in and purchase. I can’t say that I would
discourage anyone from renting there, regardless of income levels. It is perfect
for my lifestyle and others. Secured building and parking, fitness center, a
common area for socializing that overlooks our city’s hills, and the units are
spacious and very upscale. With the exception of the gas station on Woodside
Road that some units have to look down upon, the project is the type of
development we need more of in our community.
After I submitted my application to purchase a unit, the developers decided
to go the rental route due to lack of interest in sales. To say the least, I was
disappointed. Since I was “in the system,” I was promised to be kept in the
loop and informed of the future plans for the project. I was not and only found
the new information from the city’s email.
I don’t think they are so perfect after all.
Here’s to communication.
As I was saying…
