This month’s cover photo shoot was arr<strong>an</strong>ged by <strong>Spectrum</strong> Publisher<br />
Steve Penna for Saturday, Sept. 17, at 10 a.m. at City Hall on<br />
Middlefield Road at Jefferson Avenue. Since we are featuring the<br />
upcoming City Council election on Nov. 8 in this month’s issue, all<br />
c<strong>an</strong>didates for that position were invited to attend the shoot. All but<br />
one, challenger Paul McCarthy, accepted the invitation. He had prior<br />
pl<strong>an</strong>s <strong>an</strong>d couldn’t rearr<strong>an</strong>ge his schedule.<br />
Penna arrived at City Hall just before Vice Mayor Alicia Aguirre,<br />
followed by Councilwom<strong>an</strong> Ros<strong>an</strong>ne Foust, Councilm<strong>an</strong> I<strong>an</strong> Bain<br />
<strong>an</strong>d Councilwom<strong>an</strong> Barbara Pierce. This month’s cover subject<br />
photographer, David S<strong>an</strong>chez, arrived shortly after Bain. Penna had<br />
met S<strong>an</strong>chez through his volunteer work at the Boys & Girls Clubs of<br />
Redwood City <strong>an</strong>d the two had worked together on prior projects together.<br />
Obviously all the c<strong>an</strong>didates know each other <strong>an</strong>d, regardless<br />
of their differences, all were in high spirits on this sunny morning,<br />
exch<strong>an</strong>ging greetings <strong>an</strong>d pleas<strong>an</strong>tries. C<strong>an</strong>didates Foust <strong>an</strong>d Pierce<br />
brought family members to the shoot, <strong>an</strong>d shots were taken of them<br />
for the c<strong>an</strong>didates to have for their personal use. Individual shots<br />
were taken of each c<strong>an</strong>didate in the back area of City Hall. <strong>The</strong> group<br />
then moved to the front entr<strong>an</strong>ce, where a series of shots were taken<br />
in different poses <strong>an</strong>d positions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> entire shoot took about <strong>an</strong> hour.<br />
For each election, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong> is proud to introduce our<br />
community to the c<strong>an</strong>didates who have stepped forward <strong>an</strong>d shown<br />
a desire to lead. Regardless of their differences of styles, opinions<br />
or motives, we commend them for doing so. This year each of our<br />
c<strong>an</strong>didates has something positive to contribute as a leader <strong>an</strong>d each<br />
would serve our community well.<br />
After looking over the c<strong>an</strong>didates, we hope that the one who is not<br />
elected this year will stay involved <strong>an</strong>d st<strong>an</strong>d with the four who are<br />
elected to help guide our community during the next four years <strong>an</strong>d<br />
beyond. After all, that is the Redwood City spirit!
