It was wonderful to see people we haven’t necessarily seen for a while, and to visit and catch up (especially since we all have cabin fever and are tired of the mud!) . Over eighty people were there to enjoy the festivities, braving some very stormy weather to reach the venue. The food by Mark Musante and friends was absolutely amazing, both the buffet dinner and the wonderful hors d’oeuvres served by the wait staff. I totally blew my diet on this night, and it was worth it! The cake provided by the Woodside Bakery & Cafe was divine, and I think I had four pieces (trying to bypass the frosting!). Ann Kirby chaired the event, and her husband Gary was our wonderful Master of Ceremonies. I love to see a husband and wife team in action! The outgoing board directors were honored by Ann with praise, thanks, and gifts for a great job this past year. The incoming board directors were welcomed and sworn in (myself the returning “newbie” included). I was on the board many years ago, for about seven years, and I am energized and looking forward to working with these progressive people for the good of our community. There was a wonderful Silent Auction, produced by Adeline Forrest and Cheryl Basin, with some awesome of- ferings. Included in the auction were two bottles of Dutch Henry Cabernet Sauvignons; a Horse Lover’s Starter Package which included a private riding lesson, a dandy brush, curry comb, lead rope and more; a $100 gift certificate to the Firehouse Bistro in Woodside; a framed original watercolor painting of the Woodside Store; and a beautiful horse-theme etched crystal vase created by Erika Van Dewark. The highlight of the evening, from my perspective, was the recognition of the wonderful work done by the two Horsewomen of the Year, Tish Dipman and Amy Hublou. Ann gave a rousing recognition speech! I was spell- bound by hearing about the work both women have provided to benefit our horse community. Their jobs enable them to provide therapeutic support that helps both children and adults with special physical and emotional needs…help that working and being present with horses can provide. Their acceptance speeches were very inspiring and motivating. Thanks ladies, we appreciate you very much. The music by Sweet Talk was fun, and everyone had a good time dancing…no one wanted to leave! Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this evening possible, as we kick off the new Board agendas and the new riding year!

  • Conclusions and Recommendations
    CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SWEENEY RIDGE THE ROLE OF PORTOLÀ The “Historical Significance of the Discovery of San Francisco Bay” chapter of the Sweeney Ridge section of this study makes the case that Gaspar de Portolá’s discovery of the San Francisco Bay was one of the most important events of California and, in- deed, western history. The find became a central consideration among the Spanish as they began colonization of Alta California. It marked the beginning of the end for the hegemony of the native Californians, who had been here, inhabiting the land without interference, for thousands of years. When one considers the meaningful efforts the National Park Service has expended on the Anza Trail, it becomes a question - - why hasn’t Portolá received this kind of attention? Portolá was first to enter Alta California by land. His expedition resulted in the initiation of the Spanish settlement here. Anza’s exploration was certainly as amazing, considering the hardships of his overland journeys. His trail blazing tried to link Alta California with New Spain. In his second expedition, he took with him the original settlers destined for San Francisco. However, within five years his Anza Trail was closed by the Yuma Indians. Portolá not only already discovered the San Francisco Bay but had additionally helped the Franciscans establish the San Diego and Monterey missions. It seems that his legacy should be as much understood as Anza’s. At Sweeney Ridge the National Park Service possesses the very spot at which the mo- mentous discovery was made. While surrounded by urban growth, the Ridge remains open space and available for a variety of interpretive projects.

  • San Mateo County Was Established 150 Years Ago on April 19, 1856 and Is Celebrating Its Sesquicentennial in 2006
    A-31 San Mateo County was established 150 years ago on April 19, 1856 and is celebrating its sesquicentennial in 2006. San Mateo County is located between San Francisco and Santa Clara counties on the San Francisco Bay. The County covers 531 square miles and boasts 54 miles of spectacular coastline bluffs and beaches. Seventy-four percent of its land is in agricultural use, watershed, open space, wetlands or parks. Mild climate, abundant natural resources, picturesque landscapes of oak tree-dotted rolling green foothills, creeks and majestic stands of old redwoods best describes San Mateo County, making it one of the most attractive communities in California. Historically, as is equally true today, residents have made a commitment to protect and preserve the County's natural resources. A vibrant economy, San Mateo County is strategically located in proximity to world-renowned research universities — University of California at Berkeley and San Francisco and Stanford University. As a result, many leading edge industries, such as medical therapeutic leader Genentech, Fortune 500 Oracle, gaming leader Electronic Arts, and Academy Award winner PDI DreamWorks, all call San Mateo County home. Consistently, San Mateo County boasts among the highest incomes and among the lowest unemployment rates in both the Oracle Buildings at Redwood Shores State and the nation. In 1769, while searching for Monterey Bay, a Spanish exploration team led by Captain Gaspar de Portola instead found San Francisco Bay. The Spanish expedition found the peninsula inhabited by several small bands of Costanos Indians. As a result of that contact, many Costanos soon contacted disease that eventually contributed to their extinction.

  • Phleger Estate
    PHLEGER ESTATE PHLEGER ESTATE n 1935, Herman and Mary Elena Phleger purchased their Mountain Meadow property that has come to be known as the Phleger Estate. In 1984, Herman died. IHe and Mary Elena had been life-long boosters of conservation and environmen- tal causes. In that spirit, Mary Elena offered the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) the opportunity to preserve the property. Within four years, POST managed to raise the necessary funding to make the purchase possible. On April 29, 1995, the Phleger Estate was dedicated as a part of the GGNRA. The 1,084 acre parcel1 is located west of Cañada Road and north of San Mateo Coun- ty’s Huddart Park in the southern hill country of the Peninsula, once a portion of Ran- cho Cañada de Raymundo in the heart of a robust logging industry during the nine- teenth century. Its western boundary is a forested ridge plainly visible from United States Interstate 280 to the east. This ridge and slope is the eastern portion of Kings Mountain of the Sierra Morena or Santa Cruz Range of Mountains (also referred to as the Skyline) and at 2,315 feet is the second highest point in San Mateo County.2 Three major drainages run from the Mountain into West Union Creek. The Phleger Estate includes redwoods, mixed evergreens and tan oak woodlands. The redwoods are mostly in stream corridors of canyons of the Skyline and also along West Union Creek. These trees include mostly second-growth redwoods, however, the lumberjacks did not take every one of the original sequoias, because a few old growth trees, obviously the more inaccessible ones, live in the upper portions of the property.
