Cover/Cover Story Photography
We welcome you to the January edition of The
Spectrum Magazine. We are excited about this
month’s stories and know you will enjoy them.
Last month we concluded our three-part series on the proposed
development of the old Leslie Salt property. Our cover
photo generated a lot of comments, as did the series of articles.
This development will grab our attention as the year
continues, and we will cover it for you. If you missed any of
the articles, they are on our Web site at www.spectrummagazine.net.
Our cover story this month on Dominican Sister Christina
Heltsley will both enlighten and make you feel inspired about
the work of individuals in our community. Sister Christina
runs the St. Francis Center of Redwood City, which many
people call La Casita (“the little house”). Discover more and
support what she does!
Publisher Steve Penna discusses several issues this month in
his column, “As I Was Saying…” From the new police chief to
dancing to parking downtown, his candid views may provoke
some conversation around town.
After a few weeks off from school, our student writers at
Woodside and Sequoia high schools write about activity on
their campuses as they return for a new semester.
We also have a great profile on this year’s Business Woman of
the Year and a business profile on The Diving Pelican Cafe.
We encourage you to support community news by filling out
The Spectrum’s subscription form on page 33 and having us
mailed to your home each month. We also thank our loyal
advertisers for supporting community news, and we encourage
you to support them by patronizing them when you can.
With Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day shopping just a
few weeks away, or if you just need to find some fine businesses
in our community that provide excellent service, please
check out our business directory on page 16. We know you
will find our suggestions favorable.
Until next month, The Spectrum staff and contributors say:
Enjoy our city and those who makes us a community!
