Vote the Shores

We estimate there are over over 7,000 potential voters
in Redwood Shores. In 2011 it took just 3,730 votes to
win a seat on the Redwood City Council. In both 2011
and 2013, the highest total of votes by any City Council
Member was just over 5,000 votes.
Look at those numbers and realize that the Shores can
have a significant impact on who will help govern
Redwood City in the coming four years.
Shores residents are among the most civic-minded people
in this local area. Being a voter is a privilege that allows
each of us to exercise our fundamental right to express our
opinions about our local governance. Whatever your
opinions on the issues, voting is one way to make your
voice heard.
And remember, all ballots returned by mail must
postmarked no later than November 3rd, or see Page 10
for information on drop-off locations.

From our 2014 Halloween Parade

Bring your children in their Halloween costumes to
Marlin Park, and be there promptly at 1:00 PM!
We'll have treats for the little ones, so bring a goodie
bag or bucket!

FEMA Flood Zone Map Update

IT S ELEMENTARY

There has been a lot of speculation, rumors and inaccurate

information in the community about FEMAs update of
the coastal Flood Study information for the shoreline and
communities adjacent to San Francisco Bay. In reading
the technical documents associated with this update, I can
certainly understand the confusion as the reports contain
technical data, government slang, and basically are not
written in a manner for community consumption.
The short answer is that due to past efforts of the City that
raised the levees around Redwood Shores, and the work
completed for the Reserve in Redwood Shores (Area H),
Redwood Shores is not in a high-risk flood zone when the
final maps are released in 2016. Redwood Shores is in a
special seclusion zone and the preliminary maps
document the past work that raised the levees.
There are 7 steps that lead to the release of updated maps
from FEMA. FEMA is currently in step 4, the release of
Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panels.
The preliminary Physical Map Revisions (PMR) were
released on August 13, 2015 for staff review. Staff has until
September 13 to provide initial comments, which will
then be followed up with meetings with staff.
In addition, there is a 90-day appeal process to ask FEMA
to make revisions to maps. The appeal process is based on
the submittal of scientific or technical data to improve the
flood hazard information shown on the FIRM panels
through the Letter of Map Change process.
FEMAs position is that everyone, regardless of the flood
maps, is at some risk of flooding and encourages everyone
to purchase flood
insurance. Only properties that are mapped
in a high-risk area
(shown on maps with
an A or V) and the
owner has a federally
regulated or insured
lender will be required
to purchase flood
insurance.
Redwood Shores is not
a high risk area. If you
have any questions
about the maps, please Mayor Jeff Gee
contact the Citys
City of Redwood City
planning department.
The PMRs may be viewed at:

Its an exciting time in our

schools. This month, were
planning a district-wide staff
development day, analyzing
scores from last springs
computer-based state tests,
and hosting a range of fun
activities.

OracleSponsored
Professional Learning
As I mentioned in the
September edition, we have
new textbooks and instructional materials in math, reading,
and writing, so our teachers are continuing to become more
familiar with the new materials. On Monday, October 12,
Oracle is hosting our district-wide professional development day at their conference center. The focus will be
improving our practices for monitoring individual student
progress and adapting our services to meet individual
student needs.

State Test Results

Last spring, all 3.7 million California public school
students in grades 3-8 and 11 took computer-based
assessments aligned to the new, more rigorous state
standards in English and Math. Considering that this was
a new test and format, our students did very well. Overall,
75% of Belmont-Redwood Shores students in grades 3-8
met or exceeded standards in English and 70% met or
exceeded standards in math. This is roughly 20 points
higher than county averages and more than 30 points
higher than state averages. Detailed school, district, and
county results are online, most easily found by searching
CAASPP results 2015.

Octobers School Events

On October 4, the districts foundation School-Force is

hosting the 13th annual Save The Music festival at
Belmonts Twin Pines Park from 11am to 5:30pm. Enjoy
great food, support our student musicians, listen to
professional performances, and see the marching bands
from Stanford University and UC Davis! On October 9,
Sandpiper School is hosting a coffee chat with the
principal at 8:30am, and Redwood Shores Elementary will
host a fundraising Walk-a-thon on Sunday October 18.
As always, you are invited to join our events, volunteer in
our schools, and reach out to us with questions or
comments. I can be reached at 650-620-2703 or

OktobeRun Returns to
the Shores October 24th
For the 5th year in a row, runners taking on OktobeRun
will be coursing through Redwood Shores on October
24 in their attempt to improve their personal best times,
while enjoying a beautiful fall day on the San Francisco
Bay Trail.
Proceeds from OktobeRun support programs are funded
by the Redwood City Education Foundation (RCEF),
which motivates many runners, but the race is also
coming into itself as a well-regarded event drawing
participants from around the Bay Area and across the
country. Race director Rick Hunter credits the Redwood
Shores Community Association (RSCA) with helping to
build the races success.
RSCA has been a loyal partner from the beginning, and
we are very grateful for their contribution, Hunter said.
Every year Shores volunteers have staffed a water station
and The PILOT has publicized the event. Weve really
enjoyed helping out such a grand event for such a good
cause, and Im encouraging our community to
participate again this year, said RSCA vice-president
Jim Cvengros.
Runners in the half marathon and 5K races appreciate
how well OktobeRun volunteers tend to their needs and
enjoy the home town, community feel they provide.
While the half marathon appeals mostly to elite runners,
the 5 K is well-suited for families and also attracts a
strong contingent of students. The participation of this
group falls into one of the RCEFs key strategies for
promoting wellness in schools. We have been funding
wellness programs since 2005, said RCEF president
Judie Gutierrez. OktobeRun and our 4th of July Parade
Run are important elements of our mission. We strongly
believe healthy kids learn better! To encourage student
participation this year, OktobeRun has dropped fees for
students to $10.

Get The Most Out Of Your Insurance Benefits

And Start The New Year Healthy!
Time flieswe are almost through 2015. The end of the year will be upon us before we know it; and with the end of the
year comes the end of your yearly dental insurance benefits. Did you know that each year insurance companies make
millions of dollars off patients who forgo necessary and preventive dental care?
Many individuals who are paying for dental insurance do not realize that their plans provide coverage up to a certain dollar
amount annually. Consequently, some patients are not scheduling the dental treatment they need, deserve, and have insurance
to cover. Thus, the insurance revenues allocated to pay dental claims on many patients are never used, and, unfortunately,
those dollars cannot be carried over year-to year.
The bottom line: What the patient does not use they lose. Clearly, it pays in many ways to schedule the preventive care or
other dental treatment that you need. We want to make sure that you take full advantage of any remaining benefits your
family might have. Many times you may be able to save money by completing your treatment before year's end .
If you have any questions about how much actual coverage remains on your insurance benefits, please call our office so
that we can check on that for you. At that time, we can schedule you at the earliest available appointment to ensure you
take full advantage of all the insurance benefits you pay for.
Please call or email us to make an appointment before the end of the year. We are scheduling November and December
appointments at this time. Please dont wait until the last minute! Our schedule usually fills very quickly in the last quarter
of the year.
Yours Truly,
Dr. Rocky Dhaliwal

hope to feature Olympic athlete Erica McLain who has
