Foster City Councilmember Pam Frisella writes for the Daily Journal today on the topic of heroes. (Watch Dog started reading it and thought it was about the NBC show... it isn't.) She goes on to talk about the Red Cross Heroes breakfast. One note to Pam that perhaps she could pass on to her colleagues -- a school district in your town is looking for some heroes on the City Council to help find land for a school...
Speaking of the San Mateo-Foster City School District, the report card system for grading students that went into affect this past year will stay in place for next year. Perhaps the School District would like to implement a standards-based report card system for the Foster City City Council as well?
Now here is an idea Watch Dog can get behind: a Sam's Chowder House ChowderMobile! Coming to a high-tech campus near you. They cannot bring you Half Moon Bay views, but they can bring you chowder...
In an (un)related story... a Half Moon Bay fisherman was towed to safety after radioing for assistance on Saturday. It must have been rough out there because later on Saturday, a surfer at Pomponio State Beach went missing. There hasn't been an update yet online about how the search has gone.
In an ongoing theme on Watch Dog, here is your daily dose of La Honda-Pescadero Unified School District news... they named an Interim Superintendent to replace outgoing Superintendent Tim Beard. (We'll leave it to tomorrow's story to talk about lawsuits and fiscal mismanagement...)
The initial Garbage Saga has been covered in great length here on Watch Dog, but the Mini-Garbage Saga in Pacifica opens another chapter today as the Pacifica City Council starts to talk about replacing the beleaguered Coastside Scavenger... (Thanks Riptide...)
Palo Alto Police teamed up with the Sheriff's Marijuana Eradication Team to find (and smoke?) $15 million worth of weed in the foothills last week. Dude... if the weed is grown in Palo Alto, does that mean it costs more?
Watch Dog recently recapped a story about Palo Alto's Alma Plaza project which is hitting some rough times. Greenbrier Homes has pulled out of the mixed-use project but is suing to get back over $5 million in "option fees" back from the project's developer...
