Welcome to the <strong>Spectrum</strong>!<br />
It seems like we just started but this is <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> magazine’s sixth<br />
edition.<br />
In this edition of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong>, you will learn — among other things —<br />
about a unique youth in our community: Bennett Roth-Newell, or as he will<br />
be known one day, “Big Murph.” We will show you the connection between<br />
this year’s Academy Awards and <strong>Redwood</strong> City and pay tribute to a fine community<br />
member who passed away recently.<br />
Also, we have a business profile we know you will enjoy reading about.<br />
Remember the days of drive-thru banking? Well, it still exists here.<br />
In Steve Penna’s column, “As I was Saying ... ,” he will present the facts<br />
about a very disturbing case involving a former <strong>Redwood</strong> City teacher and<br />
her student. We will also explore the upcoming <strong>Redwood</strong> City Elementary<br />
School District parcel tax.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> staff encourages our readers to do business with our valuable<br />
advertisers. We believe that <strong>Redwood</strong> City residents should shop within<br />
our city to not only support those businesses providing quality services but<br />
to keep our sales tax base solid in these budget challenging times. Please support<br />
community news by subscribing to our publication by completing the<br />

<strong>The</strong> staff and contributors at <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> look forward to providing<br />
community news for years to come and always welcome your input with story<br />
suggestions, letters to the editor, and comments.<br />
