and is the winning name from dozens submitted by
students. Sir Wasabi is being installed as a permanent
sculpture in the breezeway near the school’s kitchen.

Kids build huge dragon from
mbines art
trash in project that combines
areness
and environmental awareness
By Marjorie Mader
Almanac Staff Writer
K
ids at Oak Knoll School in Menlo Park
recently learned about how much trash
they throw out when they helped build
a 16-foot long dragon with scales, wings, legs
and eyeballs made out of pieces of trash from
school lunches.
They’ve also learned what’s recyclable and
compostable.
The “Green Team” of moms came up with
the idea of combining art and environmental
awareness in a project that involved all of the
school’s 735 students (in grades K-5), as well as
teachers and parents.
Concerned about the huge amount of waste
(including uneaten food) that ended up in the
trash as students dashed off to play, the Green
Team took action.
Team leaders Barrett Moore and Bronwyn
Dobberstein recruited Kathryn Rone, an artist
and coordinator of the Palo Alto Art Center
Foundation’s Cultural Kaleidoscope, to help
create the “waste” dragon project. She fashioned the dragon’s skeleton by twisting and
shaping aluminum pipe.
Ms. Rone, along with Oak Knoll art teacher
Barbara Cottrell and parent volunteers,
worked with students during lunch to attach
pieces of trash to the skeleton with cable-ties.
The trash was made up of items from the
kids’ lunches that can neither be composted
or recycled. Typical items included thousands
of plastic zip-type sandwich bags, foil-lined
chocolate milk cartons, foil beverage pouches
and prepared food wrappers.
“We’re all learning by sorting (lunch remnants) what’s recyclable, compostable, or trash,”
said Sonia Moroder, a parent volunteer. Containers for each type of leftover were placed at
lunch areas for kindergartners, first- and secondgraders, and third- through fifth-graders.
“This project really opened the children’s eyes,”
said Maria Clemo, Oak Knoll’s vice principal.
“It raised their awareness and understanding of
what trash they can recycle and what they can
put in containers for compostables.”
Ms. Moore estimated that the lunch waste is
down by one-half. Party-day waste is down 80
percent.
Joseph Gyan, Oak Knoll’s day custodian,
also said there’s a big reduction in the amount
of garbage being hauled away from student
lunches since the beginning of the project in
December.
Elaine Sobouti from Allied Waste visited
Oak Knoll and talked with students as they
worked on the dragon.
“Many things can be recycled if they are
clean and free of food,” she said. As an example, a cup of yogurt is recyclable if it’s clean, but
not if there’s yogurt left in
n
n the bottom.
“If the kids understand w
what is waste, they can
help their parents send less”
les in school lunches
rest,”” sa
said Ms. Moore.
and “take home the rest
Some suggestions for parents: have students
bring a thermos instead of cans or bottles of
beverages; use Tupperware-like containers for
food and waxed paper bags for sandwiches;
and send half a sandwich, instead of a whole
one, to school. Instead of throwing away partially eaten lunches, bring home the container
so parents can see what’s being wasted.
The students made posters that they sent to
food companies, such as Capri Sun, with the
message: “We like your product, but not your
packaging. It’s not recyclable.”
A major change this school year is a new
lunch service provider that uses organic food,
paper wrapping that’s recyclable instead of
plastic wrap, and utensils that are made of
potato starch and are biodegradable.
Oak Knoll has made some other “green”
changes. Each of the 38 classrooms has a set of
re-usable dishes, glasses and utensils instead of
the usual disposable paper plates and glasses.
After Valentine’s Day, Halloween parties, and
other events, mothers take home the dishes and
utensils, run them through the dishwasher, and
return them to school for the next event.
The dragon project has been “a wonderful
opportunity” to engage lots of kids in an
activity on campus that they’ve enjoyed, said
Ms. Clemo.

“Did you do this?” — before telling him he’s a bad

a straight face because Moose treats the trip over
to his bed as if he is on death row, making his last
walk to the electric chair. He casts his eyes down
and slowly, slowly slinks over to the scene of the
crime and quite contritely takes his talking to.
Alas, there seems to be no correlation between
the amount of guilt the dog feels and whether he
repeats the banned activity. He actually seems
to have decided that “ziplock bags” equal “good
things to eat,” because they often end up in his
bed. Recently I found a ziplock bag that had
contained five pounds of flour in Moose’s bed. It
had been ripped open (there was of course, flour
everywhere) but not eaten.

e like to think that Moose, our 5-yearold chocolate Labrador retriever, is
unusually intelligent.
After all, Moose has a vocabulary of dozens
of words. He knows the usual ones: walk, ball,
dog food, sit, stay. But he also knows that “not
for dogs” means wherever we’re going he can’t
come and he might as well not even try; that “it’s
5 o’clock” means someone will now feed him,
and that “no ball” means he must stop dropping
slobbered-on tennis balls onto laps, right now.
I’ve also been told that Moose has convinced
friends or neighbors who have stopped by when
we’re not home to either take him on a walk or
feed him. First he’s conveyed that
he’s either starving or about to
explode from lack of exercise,
then showed them, when questioned, where we keep the leash
and the dog food. (He also has
tricked family members into
feeding him more than once a
night with a similar routine.)

But if he’s so smart, we wonder,
why does he always get caught
when he misbehaves?
We always know when Moose has done something he knows he’s not supposed to, such as filching a loaf of bread someone carelessly left on the
kitchen counter right where the dog couldn’t help
smelling it. He drops his head, casts his eyes to the
floor and then looks up, appearing to be pleading,
“Please, don’t beat me too hard this time.”
Of course, the worst punishment this dog has
ever received is a stern talking to or, if he was
really, really bad: banishment to a place where we
aren’t for several minutes straight.
When Moose gives us the guilty look, we
know from experience to head straight to his
bed in the family room, where he always hides
the evidence of his wrongdoing. It’s there we’ll

Joe Dixon, bass guitar; and Marilyn Johnson, vocalist.
They are all long-term players
who have played with big bands,
small groups, or as individuals.
The leader, John Robbins, told
me why he started the group. “After
retirement I wanted to get back into
banjo-playing, and the Little Store is
located about three minutes from
my home,” he says. “It has the perfect atmosphere for playing happy
banjo music in a casual setting.”
His father played the banjo in San
Francisco in the 1920s as part of a
vaudeville act with another banjo
player, he says. “I learned to play
from him while I was a student at
UC Berkeley in the 1950s.”
The Banjo Guys play a variety of
music, including sing-a-long songs,
Dixieland, Cole Porter, as well as
older movie classics.
The typical fan comes for dinner
and drinks, and stays for the music,
often for the entire two hours they
play. The fans tend to be split into
two groups: young parents whose
2-to-6-year-old kids love the music;
and fans old enough to remember
when banjo music was popular.
I asked John Robbins what was
one of the most memorable experiences he had while playing. He
says that it was when a Southern
Californian woman came up to
him and asked if he could play,
“Peg O’ My Heart.” When we did,
she walked up to him and said,
“That was the worst rendition of
that song I have ever heard.” Then
she turned and walked away. Not
a great way to end an evening!
But if you are seeking fun, frolic
and music on a Monday night
after a hard weekend, go to the
Little Store (at 3340 Woodside
Road) from 6 to 8 p.m. and listenup. You might want to bring your
own banjo and see if they will let
you jam with them.

begin at 8:30 a.m.
The course is about 2.3 miles

a family of four. After that, the
price will be $12 for adults and
$10 for children. Registration

Hall and Woodside Elementary
School. Participants will receive
free refreshments and a T-shirt
featuring artwork by Woodside
School seventh-graders.
Trophies will be awarded to
the first male and female finishers, and medals will be presented to the top three finishers
in 10 age brackets, ranging from
8 and under to 80-plus.
The event is put on by the
Woodside Recreation Committee
and sponsored by four local businesses: Buck’s restaurant, W.L.
Butler General Contractors, Dave
Tanner Construction and Landscaping, and Coldwell Banker.
Parade
The race will be over in time to
close the road again for the 86th

“F
requently I am asked what I think of “the market” particularly in light of all the negative press the housing
market has received on a national level. A recent sale of mine illustrates my answer to that question
perfectly. A newly constructed home on a large lot in a prime West Menlo Park location was recently put on
the market. It toured for Realtor’s on a Tuesday with 175 agents coming through.
By the end of the week we had four offers and the home sold for considerably
over the asking price. Real Estate is a local phenomenon; in our market a desirable
home that is appropriately presented and priced will be well received.”
