Bidding adieu to Woodside School Eighth-grade students at Wood-side Elementary School on Friday, June 12, strolled across the soccer field to the school’s amphitheater and began the commencement ceremony for the Class of 2009. The class has a total of 51 graduates. The Woodside School Band, directed by Beth Dameron, played “Pomp and Circumstances” as the students enter the amphitheater.

Students Alexis Clark and Jack Power led classmates, families and friends in the salute to the flag and singing of the national anthem. The class of 2009 sang “Wel-come the Wherever You Are,” popularized by Bon Jovi, as the class song. Superintendent/Principal Diana

Rotary awards $72,000 in scholarships

Corte Madera middle school graduates 72 students

Seventeen seniors from local high schools received $67,000 in scholarships from the Rotary Club of Menlo Park last week in ceremonies at the club’s regular meeting. All the students have been accepted into four-year colleges, including Berkeley, Santa Clara, USC and the University of the Pacific in the west to Smith, Brown and Williams College in the east. The Rotary grants ranged from $2,000 to $5,000 and are given directly to the colleges to pay for tuition and other expenses. Three weeks ago the club awarded $15,000 in scholarships to 10 students who will attend local com-munity colleges. The winning students received grants of $1,000 or $2,000 and were identified by school counselors, who passed their recommendations on to a Rotary scholarship committee. To qualify for the four-year college scholarships, students submitted a lengthy written application that included their academic record, community service and financial need, and then were inter-viewed by a Rotary committee, which selected the winning candidates. Twenty-six students from Menlo-Atherton, Sacred Heart, Eastside Preparatory and East Palo Alto Char-ter high schools applied. A number of the scholarships are named in honor of past and current Rotary club members, including John D. Russell, Robert Paroli, Ormand and Doris Rector, Arthur Flegel, the Tsui/Tsiang family and Drue Kataoka. A business and profes-sional scholarship is underwritten by numerous local businesses.Scholarship winnersHere are the students who received Rotary scholarships to either four-year or community colleges:

Hillview Middle School’s class of eighth-graders had their moment in the sun with a graduation ceremony at 5 p.m. Friday, June 5, on the campus blacktop with musical accompa-niment by the Hillview Band. Chosen by the graduating class to speak at the ceremony was retir-ing Principal Mike Moore, who shared his thoughts and insights with both graduates and parents. The ceremony culminated with Mr. Moore’s presentation of the class of 2009, to their core teachers, who handed out diplomas to the 224 graduating students from the Menlo Park City School District. Assisting the core teachers were two of Hillview’s science teach-ers, Alicia Payton and Susan Arrington, who were also chosen by the graduates. A reception for the graduates and their guests, hosted by parents of the seventh-grade class, took place immediately after the ceremony. A grad night party, sponsored by the graduates’ parents and held in the school’s multi-use room, was set for later that evening.

To my dear daughter: A few

weeks ago your dad and I went to Gilroy to see you run the last race of your high school career. You told us you didn’t understand why we wanted to watch. “I’m just going to come in last,” you said. But what you don’t understand, my feisty, beautiful, independent girl, is that we love to watch you even when you don’t win. We want to be there, in the stands, cheering you on, even when you do come in last. There have been many

moments in your life when we have watched you and nearly burst with pride at your accom-plishments: when your project went all the way to the state sci-ence fair; when the pig you raised was reserve grand champion at the county fair; when you broke away from a defender and, red hair streaming like molten fire, raced down the soccer field and scored a goal; when, in the league championship, you came from behind in the last 100 yards of a mile race and passed three girls. But there were the other times we watched you with just as much pride: as a baby, sleeping, one of the most beautiful things we’d ever seen. On stage, in the eighth-grade operetta, where even though you didn’t get the

role you’d wanted, the director gave you half a dozen smaller ones, and, to us, you were the best thing on the stage. All those times your team didn’t win the soccer game, when your pig wasn’t the best, when you didn’t win the race, when someone else got the honors, you were still a winner to us. Yes, it was a thrill to watch you up on that stage graduating from high school as one of the vale-dictorians. But it was also a thrill to watch you drive off to school, alone, the day after you got your driver’s license; to see you fill out your voter’s registration card when you turned 18; to watch you head through security at the airport on your way to Africa to spend the summer teaching

children in Malawi how to avoid AIDS and malaria. What matters to us, Brenna, isn’t if you win or lose, but the fact that you have compassion in

your heart, inner strength, inde-pendence, the courage to ques-tion authority, and the guts to run a race, even when you believe you will come in last. You probably don’t want to hear this, but I am more proud of you for being a vegetarian and for your dreadlocks than I am of you for being admitted to Berkeley, and New York University, and Tufts, and five other universities. You have a big heart, and it is in the right place, and that is what matters. I have never been more proud of you than when you ended your graduation speech by saying: “I know this world will never be lacking in social injustice for me to fight against.” You may not win that race — but what matters is that you run it.All my love,Mom

Fine wines to sparkle at Vintage AffaireBy Jane KnoerleAlmanac Lifestyles Editor

Fine wines, great food, and a worthy cause will be cel-ebrated on Saturday, June

27, when the 27th annual Vintage Affaire comes to wine lovers a few weeks earlier than in past years. The reason? The committee hopes to attract wine lovers who might be on vacation during July and August. The event, benefiting Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired and to be held on a pri-vate estate in Atherton, will also begin a little later in the day. From 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., guests will stroll the grounds during a silent auc-tion and sample wines poured by 25 California wineries. The wines will be paired with hors d'oeuvres prepared byA-lessandro Cartumini of Quat-tro Restaurant at Four Seasons Silicon Valley; Daniel Patino of Michael Mina's Arcadia in San Jose; Xavier Salomon of the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay; and Cal Stamenov of Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley. The hors d'oeuvres range from duck ravioli with mango, nectar-ine and candied walnuts by Chef Cartumini, to seared day boat scallops with passion fruit and cauliflower by Chef Patino. Music will be provided by the Magnolia Jazz Band. Among the California vint-

ners who will be pouring their wines for the tasting and supper are Duckhorn Vineyards, Ridge Vineyards, Stags Leap Wine Cel-lars and Mumm Napa. The live auction begins at 5:30 p.m., an hour later than last year, with auctioneers Fritz Hatton and Daniel Donahoe. Auction highlights include a 10-day Mediterranean cruise in a penthouse suite aboard the Regatta, part of the Oceana Cruises' fleet. The winning bidder will also have the services of a per-sonal butler. The item is valued at $25,000. Also featured are a getaway at the Four Seasons Hualalai on the Kona coast of Hawaii with golf and spa treatments, and a "Great Gatsby" cocktail party for 100 guests in a private Atherton garden. The Vintage Affaire invitation lists such wine lots as two mag-nums of 2000 Harlan Estate caber-net sauvignon, a double magnum of 1989 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, and a magnum of Pol Roger and Company Champagne 2000. As they have done since the mid-1990s, McCall Associates of San Francisco will keep guests well fed during the evening. During the auction they will be serving plat-ters of antipasti and crostini. Din-ner, to be served after the auction, will feature beef two ways — filet mignon and braised short rib — fingerling potatoes, and spring

vegetables. Dessert will be sticky toffee pudding and espresso creme with lemon cookies. Stephanie von Thaden of Atherton is the chairman of this year's Vintage Affaire. Serving with her on the Vista Center Foundation Board are Pat Dun-bar, Dave Heppberger, Mar-tha Edwards, Bridget Madigan, Grant Giske, Suzanne Legallet, Susan Gregory, Jan Woolsey, Vanessa Roach, Michele Man-dell, Martha Kambe, Debbie Eastburn, Trish Moxon, Pam Brandin, and Bruce Fielding. Last year's Vintage Affaire raised $320,000. Since 1983, nearly $6 million has been raised to assist blind and low-vision clients and their families. Tickets to Vintage Affaire are $300. To receive an invitation, call Vista Center at 858-0202, or visit the Vintage Affaire Web site at www.vintageaffaire.org. A

choice of Lisa Staprans, whose "luscious peach pie" came in third place. Second-place winner Angela Hey's raspberry and almond tart was also commended for its creativity. In her blog, "Ange-la's thoughts," Ms. Hey notes her creation was a tradition-al English Bakewell tart. The tart, named for the English town of Bakewell, is "a pastry

shell spread with jam and cov-ered with filling enriched with ground almonds," according to Wikipedia. Honorable mention went to Mathew Pratzer, cherry pie; Tori Austin, "rum runners" pecan pie; and Beth Erskine, black bottom chocolate pie. Beth's pie was also commended for its creativity. Judges were Patty Cullen, Chris Bradley, Jamis MacNiven, Susan Thomas, Sheldon Breiner, and Steve Toben.

Let’s Ask Ann . . .Dear Readers,

The local real estate market is slowly recovering from its doldrums. Sales are up 20% from last fall and buyers are beginning to see good values. Here are a few tips for both buyers & seller. BUYERS: Count on having at least a 25% down payment. Pay off all credit cards & car loans. Make sure you have a good credit score. Before making an offer get pre-qualified by a mortgage lender. SELLERS: Many properties are selling with multiple offers. Why? They are priced to sell! Get your home in tip-top shape and price your home to sell!
