Sequoia Hospital Wins Cardiac Care
July 21, 2010
- Image via Wikipedia
We are very fortunate to live in the Bay Area with one of the best hospitals around..
“Sequoia Hospital‘s Heart and Vascular Institute is one of the predominate referral centers for the most complex cardiac cases in California because of our outstanding clinical outcomes,” said Glenna Vaskelis, President and CEO. “Our cardiac surgeons have national reputations for superior results. When combined with our experienced nurses and staff, our patients and community benefit.”
“Heart operations are inherently dangerous and reserved for those who truly require them. These results are the product of an outstanding team, and we take tremendous pride in this achievement,” said Dr. Luis Castro of Pacific Coast Cardiac and Vascular Surgeons. “We have better survival results than most renowned heart centers around the country and world, and we are able to achieve these results using minimally invasive techniques in the vast majority of patients.”
Sequoia Update on New Gymansium
July 20, 2010
I was at Sequoia, viewing the new gymansium that is being built. Construction started in Janurary.
The new gym will feature a tournament basketball court, a tournament volleyball court, two practice basketball courts and 16 badminton courts as well as dressing rooms and an area for food concessions and booster sales.
The new facility has been designed to qualify for certification as a LEED Gold Building, one of the highest nationally recognized sustainability standards for green design.
Saving more than 50 percent of the baseline energy costs of current California energy standards, the new building will be constructed with wood products from renewable forests, a high-efficiency HVAC system supplemented with natural ventilation, and a groundwater system that utilizes redirected storm water. Wherever possible, rapidly renewable or recycled materials will be chosen over conventional alternatives.
A prominent skylight – running the full length of the main gymnasium – will flood the main space with indirect natural light during the day, resulting in a significant reduction in energy consumption year-round. The entire sloped roofing system will be lined with a direct-applied photovoltaic film that will generate over 50 percent of the energy consumed by the building.
The project also includes two athletic plazas, a 200-square-foot ticket kiosk, and a new front entrance onto James Avenue. The school’s two existing gyms will also be refurbished as part of the project.
Cody Anderson Wasney Architects, Palo Alto, is the architectural firm spearheading the project, and W. L. Butler Construction, Inc., Redwood City, is the general contractor. Awesome!

History of the Lake in Emerald Hills
July 13, 2010
Emerald Lake was incorporated September 17, 1920, as a not for profit athletic, recreational and social facility. On August 25, 1926, the Anglo-California Trust Company of San Francisco deeded the property to the Emerald Lake Country Club for the sum of $10, with the following conditions: no building of any bar rooms, livery stables, undertaking establishments or blacksmith shops.
The lake began as a watering hole for cattle and for the stage coach horses that traveled between Pescadero and Redwood City in the late 19th century. The lake was later improved as a recreational facility for owners and renters of cabins in the area who came to escape the summer fog in San Francisco.
The water that fills the lake comes from several seasonal creeks. The lake itself is about 1.75 acres.

Music at Hot Harvest Nights
July 9, 2010
Hot Harvest Nights has music every Thursday evening. I had the opportunity to do something that I think resemblances dancing with a lovely lady. It was probably better for me then for her.
After the dancing, some fresh fruit and veggie shopping at our Laurel Street Market….
Lots of family, children and all having a great time and visiting all the folks. Beautiful weather is finally here, I thought we forgot about summer this year. I had an awesome snack at Piacere’s Restaurant. Awesome and yummy…..
