Tsunamis are unlikely (although not outside therealm of possibility) to have a major impact to popu-lated areas on the shoreline of Redwood City, andeven less likely to affect the lagoons at RedwoodShores.Redwood Shores is quite protected, even from theBay, with Belmont and Steinberger Slough and BirdIsland as buffers. The water elevation of the lagoonsis controlled by pumps and gates and can be isolated from Bay tidalaction. Therefore, the lagoon water elevation should not be affectedby a tsunami.Levee heights are usually referenced to the mean sea level, whiletide charts generally report tides in relation to the mean low-lowwater level for navigation purpose. Mean low-low water is about3.89 feet below mean sea level. Our levee heights at RedwoodShores are at a minimum 12.89 feet above mean low-low water. InFebruary, the Bay Conservation and Development Commission ref-erenced a series of high tides as “king tides” which top out at about8 feet, referenced to mean low-low water. So our levees are abovethat, and their height is based on the “100 year flood” occurrence,plus two feet.As you may know, liquefaction occurs when sandy soil and highwater level encounters ground movement. Redwood ShoresLevees, as well as levees in general, are not made of sandy soil (thebest material for levees are silty soils such as bay mud). Therefore,the levees are not likely to experience liquefaction. However, thereare areas in Redwood Shores that have layers of sandy soil soliquefaction is a possibility.

A & EANDERLINI & EMERICK

In the first of my monthly missives, I want to again thank all ofthe Redwood City officials and Council Members who tooktime to be at our Annual Meeting in February. I continue to beimpressed with all of those who serve the City, and with their willingness to listen and have a conversation with usabout our concerns and theirs. Same for our School DistrictSuperintendent and school staffs. One of RSCA’s primary roles is advocacy for the interests of Shores residents andbusinesses. But our strong advocacy can sometimes be mistaken for an adversarial role, and I don’t think thatdescribes our relationship with the City or the School Districtover the past few years. We have found City staff cooperativeat all levels in listening to and dealing with our concerns, andwe have an ongoing, positive dialog with our SchoolDistrict.We don’t say “thank you” enough to those who serveus. Let’s change that. If you see any Redwood City employeehere in the Shores – whether it is our police, fire, public works,maintenance, or other City staff – walk up and say “thank youfor being here.” Same for our teachers and school personnel.Take the time to say it. Our Little IslandRedwood Shores is an island. We are surrounded on threesides by water and on the fourth by Hwy. 101. We live on anisland. Although we are part of Redwood City, there is noboundary of the Shores that borders any other part ofRedwood City. You have to travel 1? miles on a freeway to getfrom any part of the Shores to the closest part of Redwood City. You realize just how isolated we can be whenever there is anaccident on either the Dumbarton or San Mateo Bridges or onHwy.101. Travel to and from the closest part of Redwood Citycan take 10 to 20 minutes, and sometimes it can take as longjust to get to the other side of the freeway on either Ralston or Holly.We don’t yet have the 2010 Census data, but the best estimatesare that we have over 15,000 residents in the Shores. Duringthe business day we probably have as many people cominginto the Shores as leave to work. That means there are 15,000+

President’s Memo For April 2011people here in the Shores at all times – days, nights, or week-ends. There are only two ways to get in or out of the Shores,and both involve overpasses that could be seriously compro-mised in a major seismic event. That would leave 15,000+ people stranded without City services or any other service thatwould need to come from the other side of Hwy.101. I makethis point because we have a continuing discussion about apermanent public safety presence (i.e., police & fire protection)in the Shores. We have a fire station located in the Shores, andit is fortunate that the station was manned at the time of arecent fire at Lighthouse Cove, a condominium complex with 4-to-12 residence units in each building. (And we have many,many similar multi-family residential buildings in the Shores.)The quick response from the Fire Department’s Station 20, justa few blocks away, limited the damage to a single unit. Had theresponse come from the other side of Hwy.101, FOUR familiesmight have lost their homes. (The recent events in Japan havealso reinforced the need for each household to be prepared foran emergency on “our little island”. More on that in comingissues of the PILOT.)RSCA’s 60 Second SurveyWe do appreciate all of you who made time for our “60 SecondSurvey” of issues affecting the Shores, and we especially appreciated those who took time to offer additional comments.I will try to provide some details next month. We will ask foryour input on other issues when we open another survey laterthis spring.Tree Roots, Street Repairs & SidewalksIn December, one of our members raised the issue of tree rootsdamaging the pavement along sections of Marine, Bridge, andRedwood Shores Parkways. The City has responded quickly torepair the pavement along those sections, so you should have asmoother drive now. Weather permitting, most of the workshould be completed by the time you read this.

RSCA Responds To School/Board Vacancy There is a vacancy on the Belmont/RWS Schoolboard andinterviews were held on March 31, 2011 at the District Officeat 2960 Hallmark Drive, Belmont. The application deadlinewas March 28, 2011. When RSCA first heard about this, theyresponded on March 18th with the following letter to Mr.Andrew Stulbarg, President, & Members of theBelmont/Redwood Shores Board of TrusteesDear Mr. Stulberg & Trustees:With regard to the resignation of Michael Parker and theresulting Board of Trustees vacancy, I am writing at the direc-tion of the RSCA Board of Directors to strongly urge that yourBoard fill this vacancy with a resident of Redwood Shores.The student population from Redwood Shores is about onethird of the total enrollment of the Belmont/Redwood ShoresSchool District, and Shores property owners provide nearly

half of the tax revenue. Based on these statistics alone, webelieve that the Shores community deserves representationof at least two seats on the Board of Trustees. With basic aiddistricts about to lose funding from the State, it seems likely that the District will inevitably seek increased taxes inupcoming ballot measures. Having another School Boardmember who is a Shores resident will go a long way in garnering neighborhood support for these measures.In addition, we intend to publish this vacancy in the Aprilissue of The PILOT. We are also strongly suggesting that youallow sufficient time for interested candidates from this community to apply before rushing to fill this open position.Sincerely, Harris Rogers, RSCA President

Downtown Precise Plan CertifiedIn January, the City Council certified the Downtown PrecisePlan – our revised and updated vision for downtown.Unfortunately, the initial Environmental Impact Report (EIR)was challenged in court, and the judge ruled that there weretwo areas requiring additional work – potential shadows, andmore work was required on the historic structures section ofthe plan.Two years later, I am pleased to report that we have a newplan for downtown. Staff and consultants have spent severalhundred hours updating the plan, along with countless hoursfrom our Historic Resources Advisory Committee, and thePlanning Commission.So why is downtown important – especially for those of usthat live in Redwood Shores? I typed this question into myinternet search engine and received over 14.3 millionresponses. Some of the answers included:* A sense of identity for a community* A social gathering space* A place where a community can assemble* Local businesses are part of a community’s quality of life* Downtown is part of a community’s history* Downtown is a neighborhoodThe list goes on and on – for 14,295,000 other reasons. Our vision for our downtown includes all of the above and

more. The vision for downtown began over a decade ago withthe appointment of a citizen task force. The initial thoughts ofthis citizen task force helped change our downtown. Thefoundation for this renaissance for downtown includes thenew Courthouse Square and the retail/cinema complex (withthe Old Spaghetti Factory opening later this year!). Morerecently, several new start-up technology companies havemoved in.The key to continuing the transformation of our downtownare residents that live in this new neighborhood. Hopefully,the new plan will attract new housing development and giveeach of us many more lifestyle choices.Submitted by Jeff Gee, Redwood City Councilmember

Last year, the children of the Sandpiper Youth Club Program inRedwood Shores, wanted to do something for the victims of theHaiti Earthquake. They of course did what they knew best…have abake sale! A goal of $1000 was set, and in less than 3 hours, theyaccomplished it! The recent devastation in Japan prompted ourprogram’s fearless leader, Telisha “I came to teach you” Brent toembark on a repeat performance. Armed with homemade flyersand enthusiasm, the staff and children promoted their sale forTsunami/Earthquake Relief on the Monday prior to Friday’s sale.They informed the community and the school, and asked for donations of baked goods or cash to support their endeavor. Ourstaff also agreed to bake cookies, cupcakes, brownies, etc. in thename of charity, on their own time.Over 25 parents brought baked goods from home and Telisha “I reach out to my friends” Brent tapped into her network and wasable to secure 100 more cupcakes from a friend of hers who wasinterning at a bakery! They had over 500 cupcakes alone! Our kidswere somewhat saddened on the day of the main event, when theweather became extremely uncooperative which unfortunatelyadded some poetic justice to the cause. Gale force winds, sheets ofrain and even a TORNADO WARNING (what???) stood in the way oftheir hopes, but did not discourage their efforts in the least. The BakeSale had less exposure to passers-by, as it had to be relocatedindoors. Surprisingly, the act of charity prevailed and approximately300 people purchased or just made a donation to the cause.This time, the children had set a goal of $1500 and were recognizablyexcited about donating, and at times, buying a couple of items andpaying with a $20 and donating the change. The outcome? Theyraised a whopping $1042 for Japan Relief Efforts. Besides raising

Local Color You Should Eat By Darcie Ellyne, M.S., R.D., Registered dieticianHow many colors did you eattoday? March was NationalNutrition Month, and theAmerican Dietetic Associationintroduced the theme “EatRight with Color.” Colorfulfoods are loaded with “phy-tonutrients,” or plant sub-stances that can protect usagainst cancer, heart diseaseand other unhealthy effects ofaging. The brighter and moreintense the colors, the stronger the phytonutrients are infoods. Each color group provides us with different, importantnutrients.We’re fortunate to live in the Bay Area, where it’s easy to geta variety of fresh, colorful produce all year round. Fruits andvegetables that grow locally are usually picked ripe, and theyhave more color because they don’t have to be shipped longdistances. I get my rainbow of produce by shopping at a farmers’ market and subscribing to Community SupportedAgriculture (CSA). CSA enables you to purchase seasonal produce grown at a local farm. Visit www.localharvest.org formore information. People who eat more fruits and vegetables as part of a healthydiet are likely to have a reduced risk of chronic diseases,including stroke, type 2 diabetes, some types of cancer, heartdisease and high blood pressure. Here’s a sampling of what colorful foods that you can find inthe local market today:

Go green: Green fruits and vegetables are colored by a naturalplant pigment called “chlorophyll,” which contains nutrients“lutein” and “zeaxanthin” believed to help keep your eyeshealthy and reduce risk of cataracts and age-related eyesightdegeneration. “Indoles,” chemicals found in the cabbage family,may help protect against some types of cancer. Some goodgreen options are Romanesco cauliflower, bok choy, Brusselssprouts, asparagus, dinosaur kale, collards, rapini, kiwis andavocados.Red rules: Red fruits and vegetables are colored by naturalplant pigments called “lycopene” or “anthocyanins.” Lycopenemay reduce your risk of several types of cancer, especiallyprostate cancer, and it may slow the development of athero-sclerosis. Anthocyanins can act as powerful antioxidants thatprotect cells from damage and help keep our hearts healthy,too. Try painting your plate red with strawberries, bloodoranges, ruby grapefruit, guavas and beets this week.Bright news about orange and yellow: Orange and yellowfruits and vegetables are usually colored by natural plant pigments called “carotenoids.” Beta-carotene, a well-knowncarotenoid, is converted to vitamin A, which can help maintain healthy mucous membranes and healthy eyes.Carotenoid-rich foods may help reduce the risk of cancer andheart disease, and benefit your immune system. Some orangeand yellow citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, another power-ful antioxidant that may reduce the risk of cancers and heartdisease. Add a splash of orange and yellow to your diet withcarrots, winter squash, oranges, tangerines, and Meyerlemons.

AMT – How to Control

By Lavina Nagar, CFP ®Come tax time, AMT becomes one of the most onerousthree-letter words. Alternative Minimum Tax depends onso many different factors that it is not easy to get yourhead around it. However at the very core, AMT exposurecomes from two sources; income that makes you subjectto AMT and exclusions & deductions that is allowed onregular income but not under AMT.Controlling Income - Being on the borderIncome level of $150,000 or more with a number ofdeductions, makes one more susceptible to AMT. In thiscase, try to reduce income for that year. You can do so bycontributing to the maximum limit of your retirementplans; keeping income producing investments like bonds or bond-funds in retirement accounts and usingcapital losses to offset current income. These are notearth shattering strategies but when you are on that special cusp, it can make the difference.Muni Bond holdingsIncome from certain municipal bonds is subject to AMT.If chances are that you will fall into the AMT, avoid private-activity bonds and funds that hold them. Thisdoes not mean that you shun all muni bonds/funds. Lookfor funds that have “tax-free” or “tax-exempt” in theirnames. These funds are required by law to invest 80% oftheir assets in bonds that are not subject to any tax,including AMT.Incentive Stock OptionsISOs are treated differently under AMT than under theregular tax system. The best way to handle this is to consider ISOs in the totality of your overall wealth andhow they fit in your portfolio. Do not ignore taxes but thebottom line should be diversification and your own financial situation. ISOs are complex and this is one placewhere it is good to work with a professional.Controlling Exclusions & DeductionsIf you can, defer State and Local tax deductions. This willwork if you expect to be in AMT in one year and not thenext. There is late payment penalties involved in thisstrategy so do talk with your tax advisor before makingthis decision. Similarly, if you can manage your expensesthat are subject to 2% of your AGI, you can push themfrom one year to another.Whatever you do, remember taxes are one aspect of yourcomplete financial life. And there are some valid situa-tions when paying them is better in the big picture.Lavina Nagar is a financial advisor and founder of MayaAdvisors, Inc.

NITROUS OXIDEWe administer nitrous oxide, also known as “laughing gas,” to our patients for its calming effect. Although it does a great jobof decreasing a patient’s perception of discomfort, we’ll still use a local anesthetic to numb the area we’re treating. We won’tuse nitrous oxide if you’re pregnant, have an inner ear infection, or suffer from asthma.

WHAT TO EXPECT - You breathe nitrous oxide through a small mask that covers your nose, Withing just a few minutes, youwill notice it’s effects. Most people experience a sense of relaxation, happiness, slight numbness, and a disconnection fromwhat’s happening around them.

YOU CAN CONTROL THE EFFECTS - We can adjust the dosage of the nitrous oxide gas to fit you needs. You can alsocontrol its effects by controlling your breathing. The more deeply you breath through your nose, the more you’ll feel itseffects, and you can safely drive after the dental appointment.

Let us know if you’d like to try nitrous oxide to feel more relaxed during your next dental appointment.

Helping Your Elderly Parents Stay InTheir Homes LongerThe most common reasons that a person can no longer livealone or that they have to move into a care facility is that theycan no longer access their kitchen appliances for meal prepara-tion or they can’t maneuver in the confines of their bathroom.Their poor balance or decreased mobility may also preventthem from accessing their own bedroom if it is on another level.The good news is that there are several adaptations that can bemade to the home to allow many more years of independent liv-ing. With adjustable height counters, sinks, and cook tops toadvances in appliances, the kitchen can be adapted for anyoneto do meal prep. Bathroom tub/shower inserts can be donequickly and don’t require total demolition of the bathroom justto allow access the space with a walker or a wheelchair.Attractive chrome, bronze or brushed nickel grab bars matchother fixtures in the bath and eliminate the institutional look somany people dread. Stair elevators, which provide access toanother level of the house, can be installed even on stairs thathave an angle. Finally, to greatly reduce the risk of falling in thedark, add vacancy/occupancy sensors to the light controls of thebathroom, the stairs and hall. Replacement bathtub/shower inserts can allow ease of maneu-verability in a small bathroom with a walker. These units are$2000- $5000 and don’t require that the bathroom walls bedemolished. Installation takes only a few days. For a consultation, call Jean Cary design consultation. at: (650)-593-9622 or [email protected]

PET FIRST AID AWARENESS MONTHHere we are in the month of April, which also happens to be PetFirst Aid Awareness Month.Last year in this column I wrote about the need for every petowner to have a pet first aid kit. With pet first aid awarenessmonth upon us again, I want to ask all the wonderful pet owners reading this…do you have a pet first aid kit? If you do,that’s great!Now, let me ask those of you who have a pet first aid kit…haveyou inspected the contents of your pet first aid kit lately? If not, now is the time to do so. Take a few minutes to locateyour pet first aid kit. If it has been sitting in the back of yourcloset longer than you can remember, take a moment to dustthe cobwebs off (we won’t tell on you!).Now open your kit and inspect each item in your kit.Have any of the dates on the antiseptics or ointmentsexpired? Is the individual packaging of every item stillintact? Or is the packaging so old it has now become“one” with its contents, and any chance of separating thepackaging from its contents is but a wishful yearning?Or has an item been in the kit for longer than you wouldadmit to anyone and you aren’t quite sure what saiditem originally was (it’s OK, we promise not to revealyour identity!)? If you answered “yes” to any of these itis time to replace these items!This is also a good time to check your kits contents toremind you exactly what actually is in your pet first aidkit. Maybe there are some items you need to add to yourfirst aid kit? Since you last checked did your son “borrow” all of the bandaging supplies for his scoutproject? And, I know what you’re going to tell me…despite “juniors” promises to return all of the bandaging supplies to your pet first aid kit, quicker than you could say“abracadabra” those same supplies have vanished into thin airnever to materialize again! It’s time to replace those items thathave magically disappeared.If you are reading this and feeling a bit guilty because you stillhave not put together a pet first aid kit, now is the time to act!You can put together your own pet first aid kit or buy a kit thatis ready made. If you decide to purchase a readymade kit docheck the contents to make sure you are not buying somethingthat is just a bunch of bandages.Optimally I recommend you have two pet first aid kits. One kitshould be in your home. You should have another kit in yourcar for when you are traveling with Rover. I also recommendyou have a smaller pet first aid kit in a waist pack…take it withyou when you and Rover go hiking.Some items to include in a pet first aid kit are bandages, tweezers,ointments, disinfectants, and a muzzle. Space does not allow meto list every item, however, if you would like me to email you adetailed list of suggested items for your pet first aid kit, pleasesend an email to me and put “Pet First Aid Kit” in the subject line.Get your pet first aid kit before you need one! You can neverpredict when you will need such a kit, so make it a priority toget a kit together today. By having a pet first aid kit you havetaken steps to become a caring and conscientious pet owner.

O n M y Soapbox By Pat Dixon 591-5455For the March Pilot I had hoped the rains would stop – butwe’re still getting it! I know we need it, but it almost seemslike overkill now. As to other things, I had several phonecalls about a Recology truck that deliberately ran oversome geese. I asked them to please call the Recology officeand tell them. Being taken aback by that “act” no one gotthe truck number. So should any of you see a similar act inthe future, I was told, when I also called their office, theywould like the truck number. Otherwise, everything seems about the same–unfortu-nately–as even with the rain our speed limits are not beingmet and I am always surprised by the drivers who do nothave their headlights on when the windshield wipers areon. That is a Department of Motor Vehicles law, as is stilltalking on a cell phone while driving. Nothing is supposedto be ‘hand-held’. Basically what it comes down to is any-thing that takes your attention away from your driving isillegal. I have to say that by their actions, I am alwaysamazed that for many drivers it appears they do not havea legal right to drive. Besides, it puts the rest of us at risk. So, as you can see, most of the calls were stating what theyhad seen, and they were concerned. My comment is if youhave a silver or light grey automobile please rememberthat in the rain they are hard to see, so it is of utmost

concern that your headlights andtail lights be on. Because of some major healthand family problems this willmost likely be my last article for the Pilot as I will be leavingthis area by the end of April, to go over to south ofSacramento where my daughter lives. Since our Assembly Rep is Jerry Hill, a long time friend ofmine, I’ve already told him I will be “following” all hisactions so they will be a benefit to those here. As I close this last article it is now pouring outside. I amtaking it as a “sad farewell” for a long time pleasure, on mypart on receiving your calls and then being able to relatethem to others thru the Pilot and Carol Mertens.Everyone, please take care of yourselves and remember tobe thoughtful of others. That alone will always make you happy.Have a good one and thank you all for the memories.

THE THERAPIST’S CORNERHealth Anxiety: Is It Really All In My Head? Could a headache be a sign of a brain tumor? Shaking a sign ofParkinson’s disease and a lump a sign of cancer? Of course and seeking appropriate medical attention is necessary if symptoms persist. But for millions of Americans excessiveworry associated with these and other symptoms could also bean indication of a serious psychiatric condition. Technically, it’scalled hypochondriasis, though the term health anxiety has beenused in recent years.It’s normal to visit your doctor if you are concerned by some-thing unusual happening to your body. What’s not particularlynormal is going for multiple opinions after you’ve already beenreassured many times that there is nothing wrong. Typically,someone with health anxiety is not worried about minor coldsor the flu, but rather over something potentially quite serioussuch as the illnesses mentioned above. These may also changeover time. Someone may, for example, worry about having mus-cular dystrophy at first, and the fear may shift to Lou Gehrig’sdisease, then multiple sclerosis and then whatever diseaseappears to be linked to a particular set of symptoms at any onetime. This worry persists despite being reassured to the con-trary, and can contribute to other problems such as anxiety anddepression. Additionally, the person may engage in other prob-lematic behaviors such as searching on the internet as a way oftrying to either diagnose themselves or find treatment. This isrisky on both counts, as there is a lot of bad information on theinternet, and even the good sites may be difficult for lay peopleto interpret.

In many ways, health anxiety is similar to obsessive-compulsivedisorder as the health related thoughts can be very obsessive,and the behaviors, such as repeatedly reading medical articles,often are very compulsive. One major difference, however, isthat while some people with OCD might worry about becomingill, people with health anxiety are fairly convinced that they infact have a serious medical problem. Perhaps one of the mostimportant factors involved in living with health anxiety is finding a physician who is sympathetic to the very real fearinvolved in this disorder. This doesn’t mean finding a doctorwho is going to order every test requested, but rather one whois going to take the time to listen and also set appropriate limits.Psychotherapy is likely to be a very important part of treatment,especially cognitive-behavioral therapy. Cognitive therapy canbe very useful in helping someone confront their irrationalbeliefs about their symptoms, and behavior therapy challengesthe compulsive activities which only serve to worsen the prob-lem. Some people may also find relief by taking psychotropicmedications. Health anxiety is a frequently misunderstood problem and people with it are often dismissed simply as complainers. While their suffering is more mental than physical, it is sufferingnonetheless.Scott M.

March Mania for RSTCAfter weeks of excited planning, the weathertook a wet turn that week, culminating in a tornado warning on Friday morning!As we glumly expected, Saturday was toowet to play tennis. We had to wait anotherweek with our fingers crossed. March 26 coincides with the 100th birthday ofThomas Lanier (“Tennessee”) Williams (thank you to oursocial director team for that nugget of information) so wepartied to the theme of “A Streetcar Named Desire”.Southern, Cajun, and New Orleans cuisine was our inspira-tion for the potluck. To parents of K-8 children, there is a new organization intown called Sports in Action. (They are also doing Math inAction and Science in Action.) This worthy group is planningon introducing kids to sports (and math and science), gettingthem off of video games and into the exciting world of reallife. Math & Science is focusing on flight right now (geeseand aviation). They are partnering with the San Carlos PilotsAssociation, etc. to create a parade of planes rolling downRedwood Shores Parkway on May 21! Should be quite asight to see.Relevant to TENNIS, Sports in Action will be introducing tennis to kids, providing lessons/coaching on weekdays at the brand-new courts at Preserve Park and practice playon weekends. The emphasis is on FUN – no Little Leaguecompetitiveness or histrionics here! The non-profit volun-teer group requires parent participation but that’s a goodreason for mom/dad to get into the sunshine too! For moreinformation or to sign up, please contact Andrew Young ([email protected], cell phone 415-258-2872).For more information about the Redwood Shores TennisClub, or to check out the dates for our events, please visitwww.rstc.org. We have an open play, tournament, andsocial every month. Please note that members get early registration for tournaments.

WINE APPRECIATION

By Tom BarrasFrom LYNN’s KITCHEN

(Or how a former Connecticut Yankee embraced California Cuisine) Lynn Kathleen Adams

APRIL SHOWERSOh my goodness! I think that I am growing webbing betweenmy toes. I know that we need the rain – April Showers bring MayFlowers and all that, but a little sunshine please, to work in thegarden – my herb garden now has more weeds than herbs. OurConnecticut relatives are longing for the first signs of spring –those small colorful crocuses that pop right up through thesnowy ground and make you smile with delight at the thought ofpussy willows, forsythia, and cherry blossoms. We used totraipse through the fields of Uncle Lenny’s farm (he wasn’t reallyour Uncle – just a very close boyhood friend of our Dad) over toa little meandering creek. In early springtime, the ice would bethawing and the ground softening up from its frozen, muddystate. There was one bank of the creek where we would alwaysfind pussy willows. We’d cut a few to put in a vase at home whilewaiting for the daffodils to bloom, and the forsythia bush at thecorner of our yard to burst into brilliant yellow flowers. In anticipation of the upcoming Easter Holiday, our thoughtswould turn to our Sunday Easter family feast. Eggs had to be col-ored for the annual Easter Egg Hunt, and Easter baskets dustedoff and set aside for the Easter Bunny to fill with goodies andtreats. I love roasting a leg of lamb for Easter Dinner. Thisrecipe is courtesy of a fellow Connecticut friend, who emigratedfrom Italy with her family when she was a preteen. The Lucianofamily lived in a village near Chieti, in the region of Abruzzi, Italy.Gina is a fellow University of Connecticut alumnus, but we didnot meet until many years later when we worked together inSan Francisco. If you enjoy lamb, please try this recipe – it isabsolutely delicious and easy to prepare. Serve with roasted fin-gerling potatoes, fresh asparagus, a nice green salad and yourfavorite cabernet or syrah or Merlot. (See wine article)Lamb Alla Chietina (Leg of Lamb Chieti Style) – 6 to 8 servings3 Tablespoons Coarsely Chopped Bacon or Pancetta2 Parsley Springs, minced1 Large Clove Garlic, minced1 Tablespoon Fresh Rosemary Leaves, minced1 5 lb. Leg of Lamb¼ Cup Olive OilFreshly Ground PepperSalt¼ Cup Red Wine Vinegar¾ Cup Very Fine Unseasoned Dry Breadcrumbs½ Cup Minced Fresh Parsley1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh MintPreheat oven to 400F. Combine bacon or pancetta to parsley,garlic and rosemary. (I put these 4 ingredients together in amini food processor). Freeze briefly to facilitate handling. Makeseveral long thin holes in lamb with sharp knife. Widen andlengthen the holes slightly by piercing with handle of woodenspoon. Pack parsley mixture into each hole.Pour oil into roasting pan. Roll lamb in oil so meat is evenlycoated. Sprinkle with pepper. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oventemperature to 350F and continue roasting until thermometerregisters 150F, sprinkling meat with salt once and basting withvinegar several times. Roast about 50 minutes (or 10 minutes

Somehow, this red wine has fallen fromgrace. And why is that, since it’s soft, gen-tle and enjoyable to drink? It doesn’trequire cerebral discussions to appreciate it,and its attributes assure that it will seldombe astringent or overly tannic. As such, it’san ideal wine for aspiring wine enthusiastsstarting their journey into the savory delightsof red wines. On the other hand, this wine is alsofavored by savvy wine consumers who seek a winethat has a reliable character, and one that pairs readily with awide variety of meat and poultry recipes. With one notable French exception, it typically makes no pretense or leap toward greatness. What you see and sniff iswhat you get, and “smooth” is the best adjective thatdescribes it. As one friend said, “It tastes like a red wineshould.” It hints at black fruit flavors and aromatics, and occasional smoky, toasty nuances. That profile is why itbecame the red wine of choice in the early 1990’s when theTV newsmagazine 60 Minutes announced red wine as the keyvariable in the French Paradox—why in spite of their seem-ingly unhealthy diet, the French seemed to have fewer cardiacissues than beer drinking, Cola-loving Americans. Wines geeks know I speak of Merlot, the wine of choice formany years until most recently, when many consumerschanged to Pinot Noir. Notwithstanding that, Merlot remainsthe primary grape underlying most wines produced in theBordeaux appellations of Pomerol and St. Emilion. With theirconcentrated, fruit forward, low tannic profiles, these regionshave been for years red hot, international best sellers. Atrelease date, the finer ones sell in the three-digit range andbecome more costly as supplies diminish. Chateau Ptrus, oneof the world’s most coveted wines is primarily, if not totally,made from Merlot. According to one Internet site, the 2000Ptrus is currently fetching up to $5000 per bottle—yep, per bottle! In addition to its Right Bank supremacy, Merlot is the primaryblending grape used to counterbalance the harshness of theCabernet Sauvignon in most Left Bank Grand Crus, and, as such,without Merlot, the fame of Bordeaux would be alternatelydefined. In the New World models, Merlot is typically made as astand alone, varietally labeled wine, and is available from aslow as $10 to $90 or more per bottle. And the good news is thatthere are numerous, attractive wines from well-known produc-ers in the $12 to $20 range. Your local retailer should be able toadvise what style and price is just right for you. (Don’t forget to check out my blog atwww.TomBarrasWineCommentary.blogspot.com/.) per lb.) for rare. Set aside but retain oven temperature. Combinebreadcrumbs, parsley and mint on baking sheet. Hold lambbone using kitchen towel or pot holder and roll lamb evenly inbreadcrumb mixture. Return to roasting pan. Baste with panjuices. Continue roasting until coating is brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before carving. Enjoy !

Local Color You Should EatContinued from page 12

White earns its colors: White fruits and vegetables are colored by pigments called “anthoxanthins,” which may helplower cholesterol and blood pressure and reduce the risk ofstomach cancer and heart disease. Some white fruits andveggies are good sources of the mineral potassium, too. A fewgood white choices are parsnips, potatoes, onions, green garlic, crimini mushrooms and pears.Try true blue (and purple): Blue and purple fruits and vegetables are colored by natural plant pigments called“anthocyanins,” which may act as powerful antioxidants thatprotect cells from damage. They can help reduce the risk ofcancer, stroke and heart disease, and have been associatedwith boosted memory function and healthy aging. Try addingmore blue and purple to your plate with red cabbage, radicchio, purple cauliflower and purple potatoes.When it comes to the produce you put on your plate, go localand diverse with an emphasis on colorful intensity. I hopeyou’ll use these tips to improve your diet and reap the healthrewards offered by colorful fruits and vegetables.
