Volunteers wage a pitched battle with

invasive grasses

Story by Dave Boyce

On the infrequent occasions that Woodside’s Edgewood (County) Park hosts a springtime rabble of Bay

Checkerspot butterflies, they flit and flutter above fields of tiny flowers for 10 to 15 days, searching for mates and nectar. Each fertilized female will lay some 400 eggs at the base of the stem of the California dwarf plantain, if she can find one. With their missions com-plete, the butterflies then die. Of those 400 eggs, two typically make it through the creepy crawly stage to hiberna-tion and maturity, says park volunteer Bill Korbholz. In theory, the ecology works. The butterflies choose Edgewood because it is home to the right flowers. If the flowers are

prolific, the caterpillars can find the right leaves to eat and make it through hiberna-tion. But this breeding cycle, when it is success-ful, is now due in great part to intervention by park volunteers. For example, on a spring day a year or so ago,volunteers tried to jump-start the process by releasing 4,000 to 5,000 Checkerspot caterpillars brought in from a South Bay park. The flowers the caterpillars feed on face fierce, and unfair, competition for space and water in Edgewood’s meadows. While the meadows appear pastoral, the serenity is an illusion.

Mateo County Parks Department mows the grasses down before they go to seed. “If we didn’t do that, we wouldn’t have a habitat. It really breaks my heart to see so many grasses here,” Mr. Korbholz says. “Their nutrients are being stolen from them. ... I frankly feel we’re losing the battle. ... I watch these grasses come in and multiply and take over. It’s a sad, sad story, but we keep trying.” The invasive grasses employ windblown pollination and the county can’t mow it all, so in every week of the year, volunteer “weed warriors” are out there trying to assist the survival of dwarf plantain, owl’s clover and the rest, Mr. Korbholz says. The areas of the meadows that are still mostly flowers are fenced off. Well before the volunteers cross that boundary, they brush the soles of their shoes to remove for-eign seeds. Within the protected areas there are occasional patches of grass, but that is

native bunch grass, Mr. Korbholz says. The flowers, though small, are plentiful and make a vibrant living carpet, mostly in shades of yellow unless you look closely. Like their larger cousins, these flowers’ common names reflect the enchantment of observers unencumbered by modernity: Ithuriel’s Spear, Farewell to Spring, Tidy Tips, Blue-eyed Grass, Cream Cups and — perhaps exemplifying an emphasis on the truth in the name rather than its beauty — Hog Fennel. The soil in the protected areas is rich in a mineral that the invasive grasses can’t tolerate, but the flowers can, and it shows in the fields of flowers. “This, to me, I mean it doesn’t get any better than this,” Mr. Korbholz says surrounded by flowers. “It’s spectacular. If I were a butterfly, this is where I’d hang out. Unfortunately, I don’t see any.” Will enough caterpillars find enough plantain and owl’s clover leaves to carry them through hibernation this year? We won’t know until next spring. A

CALENDAR

A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday, April 27, at Ladera Community Church, 3300 Alpine Road in Portola Valley, for Elsa Roscoe who died Feb. 18. She was 92. Born in Cleveland of parents who emigrated from Germany, Ms. Roscoe was a graduate of Ohio University and held a master’s degree in economics from the University of Roches-ter. She married three times and outlived three hus-bands. Her first husband, Bob Jobe, whom she married in 1943, was killed in 1945 during World War II. She met her second hus-band, Raymond Spafford, while at the University of Rochester and married him in 1953. Both employees of Eastman Kodak, the couple moved to California in 1953 due to a job transfer with Kodak to Palo Alto. They fell in love with Por-tola Valley and became some of the earliest residents of Alpine Hills, where they designed and built their dream house. Mr. Spafford died of cancer in 1967. Elsa was married to her third

husband, John Roscoe, a colo-nel in the U.S. Marine Corps, for almost 40 years. He died in 2007. After a 40-year career with

Eastman Kodak, Ms. Roscoe retired but con-tinued her active life. She was a follower of the Explorers Club and through Earthwatch went on archaeological digs to French Polynesia and New Mexico. She trekked in Nepal, trav-eled through Pakistan,

Burma, Greenland and visited China. Her interest in health and nutrition, which she prac-ticed throughout her life, led her to take classes in yoga and participate in a Stanford Study on Aging. She is survived by many friends and neighbors, niece Peggy Spafford Golfin, nephew Gene Spafford and their chil-dren, and stepdaughters Chellie and Marilynne Roscoe. Donations may be made to Peninsula Open Space Trust, 222 High St., Palo Alto, CA 94301; (openspacetrust.org). Donation notation: “In memory of Elsa Roscoe.”

The sun is always shining and the music is sweet when Grandma and her

grandchild get together. That’s just the nature of the relation-ship. But the relationship between a parent and a grandparent of the little darling? That’s often an entirely different question. And it’s the question Menlo Park resident Donne Davis addresses in her recently self-published book, “When Being a Grandma Isn’t So Grand.” The book is “not about hav-ing grandkids; it’s all about the relationship with adult children, when you’re a grandmother,” Ms. Davis said recently over coffee in her neighborhood cafe, Plantation. “I’m really interested in the dynamic between moth-

ers and daughters. It’s a fragile relationship — there are so many layers involved.” A retired college recruiter, Ms. Davis learned first-hand how fragile that relationship can be after her daughter had her first child 10 years ago. The first-time grandmother was so enamored of the child, and her new role as a grandmother, that she began a group, the GaGa Sisterhood, “to provide a place where grandmas can bond, brag, and benefit,” she writes in her book. But as time progressed, “reali-ty set in,” she says. She started to feel a strain developing between her and her daughter, and began a journey on “a steep learning curve” to try to understand and resolve the source of increasing conflict. That journey was illuminated in part by stories told by mem-

bers of her group, some of whom had stopped attending meetings because their own situations as grandparents with fractured

relationships with their children had become too painful, Ms. Davis writes. The topic became part of the group’s conversation, and in her book, Ms. Davis cites “the three most common challenges” that members identified: not understanding modern parent-ing techniques; difficult rela-tionships with a grandchild’s parents; and “hurt feelings that result from being unappreciated or left out.” But Ms. Davis knew she couldn’t understand, let alone write about, the subject with-out looking at the big pic-ture, half of which could be described only by parents. “So I created a survey for moms, with eight questions about the challenges of parenting, their primary sources of conf lict, and advice for grandparents,” she writes.

She devotes a section of the book to the insights she gleaned from the mothers, which, she said, most often centered on their stated need for respect and empathy. Through the years, Ms. Davis has evolved from a generally care-free, ecstatic and involved grandmother — now of two girls — into a sort of Grandma Guru, leading her GaGa Sister-hood, for which she writes a blog, and writing columns for “Parenting on the Peninsula” and the Huffington Post on issues involving grandparent-ing. Her columns can also be found on About.com, and recently, the sisterhood blog won a 2013 About.com Readers Choice Award. Her book can be purchased at Amazon, and her group’s web-site is at gagasisterhood.com. A

You know you’re supposed to eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a

day, but how many of us do? Unless you dine daily at a salad bar, or keep your fridge stocked with a dozen different fruits and vegetables, it’s hard to achieve that goal. Besides, mak-ing green smoothies at home is a frightful mess. Husband-and-wife team Far-uk Abdullah and Tasneem Man-jra hope to solve the dilemma by bringing healthy fruit and veg-gie-packed smoothies right to your home or workplace. They launched their business, Bushel Whole Blended Juices, on April 1, working from Studio Cake’s commercial kitchen in Menlo Park, where they prepare orders for delivery or on-site blends. All Bushel drinks are whole blended, not juiced or pressed, they say. All edible parts of the fruits and vegetables are blended to order. No stabilizers or pre-servatives are used. Bushel’s menu now includes four drinks; however, they expect to expand their offer-ings over time. The 16-ounce smoothies are $7.99 each. Green smoothies are the rage right now as a quick and conve-nient way to get those required servings of fruits and vegetables. Many fans also use them to lose weight quickly and safely.

The Bushel version of the popular smoothie is call the Green Dream. It contains kale, spinach, lemon, apple, orange, pineapple and a splash of pome-granate juice. It is the equivalent of four servings of fruit and veg-gies at 100-110 calories. Beets Me contains beets, lemon, cucumber, pineapple and ginger, 2.5 servings of fruit and vegeta-bles, and 90-100 calories. Apple of My Day contains three servings of fruits and vegetables and 370 calories, with kale, apple, banana, vanilla yogurt and vanilla coco-nut milk as ingredients. Avocado Bliss is avocado and vanilla coco-nut milk at 280 calories. Bushel offers two options: delivery to their clients via Grub-Hub and Seamless services, and on-site blending at events and offices in the Bay Area. Delivery is $3 per item, within a five-mile radius, with a mini-mum of $15. Co-founder Tasneem Man-jra is a technology marketing executive and avid food blog-ger. Faruk Abdullah is a medi-cal device and biotechnology professional. Passionate about healthy living, both “wanted to provide a healthful superfood option that tastes great,” says Ms. Manjra. Visit bushelwholeblended.com or call (415) 935-1588 for more information. A

The parade starts promptly at 10 a.m. Check-in begins at 9 a.m. at the school. The day’s activities begin at 7:30 a.m. with a “Fun Run,” organized by the Woodside Recreation Committee, and an 8 a.m. pancake

Following the parade, the third grade will lead the traditional May Pole dance and the Woodside Citizen of the Year award will be pre-sented in the school’s outdoor amphitheater. A barbecue will be held from noon to 2 p.m. at the school, to be followed by carnival games and crafts from noon to 3 p.m. For more information call Woodside PTA May Day chair Zainab Khan at 415-215-6881.
