Inside <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong>: Cover Story Photo Shoot<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> Mag AD 4/2/08 4:23 PM Page 1<br />
<strong>Spectrum</strong> Publisher Steve Penna assigned this month’s cover<br />
shoot to photographer James Kaspar and asked him to capture<br />
images at the downtown outdoor skat<strong>in</strong>g r<strong>in</strong>k and at the Ice<br />
Oasis <strong>in</strong>door facility on Bay Road.<br />
This is the first year that the City of Redwood City has offered<br />
this activity to our community and visitors. To all appearances, it<br />
is already a success. <strong>The</strong> cost to br<strong>in</strong>g the r<strong>in</strong>k to Redwood City<br />
was $40,000, not <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g operation costs, accord<strong>in</strong>g to Director<br />
of Parks, Recreation and <strong>Community</strong> Services Chris Beth. Local<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>esses have contributed $30,000 and the expectation is to raise<br />
$10,000 through skat<strong>in</strong>g sales. Another <strong>in</strong>dication of how partnership<br />
between government and private <strong>in</strong>dustry can work.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ice Oasis is located at 3140 Bay Road <strong>in</strong> Redwood City and<br />
serves as home ice for the Stanford hockey team. Kaspar took some<br />
photos dur<strong>in</strong>g a practice of one of the youth hockey teams that<br />
play at the facility. He took shots from different angles as well as an<br />
outdoor picture of the facility.<br />
<strong>The</strong> facility also offers its annual Nazareth Ice Oasis Holiday Show<br />
— “An Elf Christmas” — on Dec. 17 & 18. Information about the show<br />
can be found at www.iceoasis.com.<br />
Kaspar visited the outdoor r<strong>in</strong>k on several occasions, and it was<br />
decided to use multiple images on the cover to show just how<br />
responsive the community has been to the activity. Penna happened<br />
to drive by on one of those occasions and captured Kaspar <strong>in</strong> the<br />
photo seen here.<br />
Redwood City is fast becom<strong>in</strong>g the enterta<strong>in</strong>ment spot on the<br />
Pen<strong>in</strong>sula, and this w<strong>in</strong>ter’s activities and the year-round r<strong>in</strong>k prove<br />
to be valuable contributors to that image. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> salutes the<br />
efforts made to br<strong>in</strong>g our community together.<br />
