HOTEL
The Rosewood Sand Hill hotel has

Readers’ Choice voters have already
twice named it their favorite hotel.
Spread over 16 acres, Rosewood
Sand Hill is an “urban oasis” with
“the look and feel of a luxury
resort,” managing director Michael
Casey says. It has scenic surroundings and is just minutes from Silicon Valley, he adds. Rosewood Sand
Hill offers both a casual atmosphere
and first-class amenities, such as
fine dining, house-infused cocktails, and the Gold Rush Renewal
spa treatment. 2825 Sand Hill Road,

have to be a single lady to come to
Hirzel to put a ring on it. And Hirzel’s is definitely not just for those
living in a material world: Hirzel
can meet many needs, from repairs
to custom designs, with jewelry for
many price ranges. In appreciation
of the store’s deep expertise after
50 years in the business, Readers’
Choice voters again elected Hirzel Fine Jewelers as their favorite

Our readers just can’t get enough
of Carpaccio, naming it best Italian restaurant year after year.
Although it has been one of Menlo
Park’s favorite dining spots for two
decades, managing partner Ciya
Martorana and chef Jorge Cortes
constantly introduce new dishes in
the weekly specials. Recent offerings
included prosciutto with melon as
an appetizer, hand-rolled pasta with
sausage, peas, and walnuts in cream
sauce, game hen stuffed with risotto
and asparagus, and sanddabs, when
available. Save room for dessert.

independent and family owned
Village Stationers is one of the last

Kepler’s Books and Magazines
is a perennial favorite of Readers’
Choice voters — and the community at large — due to its author
events, knowledgeable staff, and
wide variety of books, magazines

store is a local institution. When
it comes to hiring, Kepler’s takes a
special approach. “We don’t hire
cashiers. We hire readers,” says staff
leader Nancy Salmon. Kepler’s has
well over 200 registered book clubs
and even a book club isle. Among
the deals: 20 percent off all New

voters. Green rice and green salsa

BAR
The historic British Bankers Club
in Menlo Park is sporting a new
name — the BBC Gastropub — to
reinforce the point that you can
dine, as well as drink, there. Readers’ Choice voters were likely thinking about the drinking part when
they named the British Banking
Club their favorite bar. The BBC
has about 300 varieties of whiskey
and scotch and more than 100
brands of bottled beers and beers
on tap, according to Gim Ettaro,
the executive chef. There are also
30 drinks on the specialty drink
menu. On some nights, guests at
the bar can listen to live reggae,
jazz or salsa music. As of last year,
the bar started a monthly “whiskey
dinner,” a four-course meal paired
with whiskey that ranges from $55
to $75 a person. In April, they introduced the “beer dinner.” As for
martinis, do you want it shaken or
stirred? Your answer may give you

SHOE STORE
There’s this guy who bought a pair
of shoes several years ago at Nordstrom. After about eight years,
when the sole separated from the
top of a shoe, he bought them back
to Nordstrom and asked if it could
be repaired. The salesman said no,
but he would give the customer
credit for about 80 percent of the
original price of the shoe. The
customer then used the credit to
buy a pair of sneakers. After about
a week, when the customer discovered the sneakers were too small,
he brought them back to Nordstrom to get a larger size. The customer not only got the right size,
but a 20 percent discount since the
shoe was on sale. Any questions?

Woodside artist unveils
‘Miracle of Hope’
A fusion of art, science and
raw emotion will be unveiled in
Woodside on Friday, Aug, 27.
A three-paneled work, entitled
“Miracle of Hope,” by Woodside
artist Dave Putnam, follows the
struggle of a human cell infected
with HIV.
In the triptych, the cell is initially overrun by the HIV protease
enzyme, but beneficent protease
inhibitors eventually triumph
over the intruding disease.
Mr. Putnam and his wife Martha said they will give 30 percent
of their art sales during the
month of August to the Stanford
Positive Care Clinic to fund AIDS
research. The triptych will reside
at the Atherton clinic at 3351 El
Camino Real, Mr. Putnam said.
The unveiling event, which will
run from 7 to 10 p.m., will occur
at 1101 Canada Road in Woodside. To attend, call 854-8218 or

Caltrain holds public meetings
on fare hikes, service cuts
Proposed fare increases and service suspensions will be topics for a
Caltrain community meeting at 6
p.m. Thursday, Aug. 19, at Caltrain
headquarters in San Carlos. Meetings to receive public comments
will also take place in San Francisco, San Jose, and Gilroy.
Among the proposals to be
considered are: suspending all
weekend service, reducing some
non-commute weekday service,
discontinuing staffed ticket offices,
and increasing the full fare one-way
base or zone fares by 25 cents.
Caltrain’s budget problems can be
attributed to several factors, according to Caltrain spokesman Christine Dunn. The railroad has lost
$10 million in state funds each year
for the last three years and, because
of the recession, fewer people are
commuting to work. Last year, eight
mid-day trains were eliminated and
parking fees were increased to close
a $2.6 million budget gap.
The San Carlos meeting will be
held in the auditorium at Caltrain
headquarters, 1250 San Carlos
Ave.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
CITY OF MENLO PARK
PLANNING COMMISSION
MEETING OF AUGUST 30, 2010
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission of
the City of Menlo Park, California, is scheduled to review the
following items:
STUDY SESSION ITEM
Study Session/Willow Business Area and M-2 Zoning District
Area/City of Menlo Park – The City is considering a multi-phase
approach to planning for the M-2 (General Industrial) Zoning District
with an initial focus on the Willow Business Area (WBA) located in the
vicinity of the intersection of Willow Road and Bayfront Expressway.
The goal of the effort would be to streamline planning and building
permit processes to reduce turnaround time and increase certainty
of standards for zoning review of permit applications to remodel
and expand buildings. The purpose of this initiative is to provide
greater opportunity for business development that benefits the City’s
fiscal sustainability in the Willow Business Area. The purpose of the
Planning Commission study session is to provide input regarding
the proposed work program, which includes community outreach
and environmental review, for the potential Zoning Ordinance
Amendments regarding the following:
Ê UÊÊÊ

uses or construction of new square footage for preferred uses.

Pension reform lawsuit in legal limbo
Those following the pension
reform initiative lawsuit will
have to wait a while to find out
what the court intends to do.
At a hearing on Aug. 12, San
Mateo County Superior Court
Judge George Miram agreed to
consider the lawsuit, but gave
no indication of when he might
reach a decision.
Attorney Richard Miadich,
who represents one of the plaintiffs, said the judge has 90 days.
That leaves open the question
of whether the lawsuit will be
decided before the Nov. 2 elections.
A grassroots campaign led by
Citizens for Fair and Responsible Pension Reform gathered
enough signatures to have the
initiative placed on the ballot.
The initiative seeks to raise the
retirement age for new, nonpolice public employees five
N BR IE FS
years to 60, and also decrease
their pension payments.
Two unions, Service Employees International Union Local
521 (SEIU) and American Federation of State County and
Municipal Employees Local 829
(AFSCME), filed the lawsuit to
argue that only the City Council
has the authority to change pension compensation.
Free-speech zone
At the final Chamber of
Commerce block party of the
summer on Aug. 11 in downtown Menlo Park, two groups
appeared to enjoy their new
positions within the established
free-speech areas.

member of the Menlo Park
Downtown Alliance, a group of
business and property owners
who promote an alternative to
the city’s downtown development plan, said 60 people signed
the alliance’s petition this time.
The alliance clashed with the
chamber during the last block
party for advocating the alternative from a table in front of Posh
Bagel, on property owned by Ms.
Couperus. The chamber drew
criticism for saying the alliance
had to be in a free speech zone,
but not asking representatives of
the Bohannon Gateway Project
to do likewise.
On Aug. 11, however, the alliance sat on Crane Street, with
tables lined up at the border
of Santa Cruz Ave. where the
action was. “One young woman
came up to us and put her foot
across the sidewalk line, saying,
‘Oh, I don’t think I feel any difference here; this free-speech
zone doesn’t seem to be affecting me at all,” said Ms. Couperus.
And the Bohannon Gateway Project? Representatives
were working the crowd from
another free-speech zone a bit
further down the block from the
alliance.

The Portola Valley Cultural
Arts Committee invites the
community to watch a free
movie “under the stars” on Friday, Aug. 20, at the courtyard
lawn of the Portola Valley Town
Center.
The movie, “Pirates of the
Caribbean – the Curse of the
Black Pearl,” will be shown at
8 p.m. Popcorn, non-alcoholic
drinks and treats will be sold,
said Deirdre Clark, co-chair of
the committee.
“Folks are encouraged to come
at 6:30 to picnic, socialize and
listen to music CDs from local
bands,” she said. “We welcome
your family and friends. Bring
jackets, blankets and a picnic.
Dogs are welcome on a leash.”
