Allow Me to Introduce Myself...

There's a new San Carlos Patch editor in town and she could really use your help.

Good morning San Carlos! I'm Joan Dentler and I'm about to make your life ridiculously easy.

As the new editor of San Carlos Patch, I look forward to meeting all of you and covering the diverse happenings in the City of Good Living. And as we all know, there's no shortage of great (and sometimes not-so-great) things going on around town, which is why I need your help.

The beauty of Patch is that it's the community's site for news and information---and I invite you to take full advantage of your privileges as a Patch user. You can upload your own events, announcements, photos and videos; you can blog for San Carlos Patch, you can write a letter to the editor, and of course, you can send your story/content ideas to me at joan.dentler@patch.com.

I've been the Patch editor of your neighbor to the north for about a year, and will continue to do so, so I hope you two can play nicely together. (Who can get to 1,000 first?)

Don't worry, the awesome who's been guest editing San Carlos Patch these past few months, isn't going far. As a matter of fact, you'll be seeing his byline from time to time on the site.

So if you see me around town with my Patch laptop and assorted Patch swag, stop by and say hi, and who knows, we might just write a story about YOU!

Teachers who have specific projects that require funding can also put their projects up onRead More Donorschoose.org where anyone in the world can donate money to fund the project. This is a great way to get bigger-ticket wish-list type items (not for day to day supplies).

If the city council likes fake plastic nature, then let them saran-wrap their own yards! LEAVE OURRead More PARKS ALONE!! This is soccer special interest pressure on city government at its worst, and the city council appears unwilling or unable to withstand it. Crestview Park is a particularly quiet, serene, simple park with lovely views which the council now wants to turn into a sports arena. Any day you can go there and see families playing on the grass, toddlers and moms enjoying picnics and play time, kids learning to ride their bikes on the nice flat paved area, athletes and older folks enjoying the flat natural track (the only one in San Carlos) to get in shape, teens throwing frisbees on the lawn. It is a perfect place for ALL residents to enjoy according to their needs, not a sports arena dedicated to one activity at the expense of all. Belmont faced a similar lack of sports venues, but they did not choose to pave paradise. They wisely raised money and built a sports complex and spared their beautiful parks for use by ALL residents. I would like to see our city council do the right thing also. And by the way, the opposition to this short-sighted plan is far more than "some residents"! Please visit our booth at Hometown Days.

One summer my kid had soccer camp on at an artificial turf field. It was terrible. It madeRead More everything hotter and very uncomfortable. I had to pull my kid out of camp early because of it. I do not think it is better for the environment OR for kids. Just go to any turf field and try to walk across it on a hot day. Try to go barefoot on it (good luck!) We have been told not to microwave plastic containers because of BPA and bad chemicals that can cause cancer. What about heating up plastic grass and running around on it, breathing the fumes that come off it?? How is that any different?

Artificial turf is appropriate for dedicated use sports venues, not for multi-use city parks.

Thanks for doing this. The one blatant thing I observe on a daily basis is the number and frequencyRead More of deputy's at Starbucks on 800 laurel street and the sky kitchen. I never see them in the neighborhoods. The police department was much better
