Installing a State-of-the-Art Drip Irrigation System

:HGQHVGD\ )HEUXDU\ ‡ SP

6DWXUGD\ )HEUXDU\ ‡ DP SP

Learn how to become water-smart in your gardens with handson demonstrations of landscape and irrigation tips, as well as tools for significantly cutting your water usage and water bills! This lecture will be presented by Scott Sommerfeld, a water conservation consultant with the East Bay Municipal Utility District. Sommerfeld also maintains the Sommerfeld Group, a professional irrigation practice and has over 20 years experience in landscape architecture.

Participants will learn the intricacies involved with installing a drip irrigation system. Brian Larsen, Garden Manager at The Gardens at Heather Farm, will cover the basics in the classroom and then move out into the parking lot to actually install a new Netafim system. You will leave with the knowledge of how to convert your pop-up system into a drip system as well as how to start from scratch beyond the irrigation valves. Larsen has worked with Portland Nursery and Friends of the Trees in his hometown of Portland, OR.

Life circumstances can change greatly following a divorce or parents separating. Children get older and their interests and plans change, and parents may experience job changes, meet new partners, or change housing arrangements. These natural changes may lead to the need to update and modify a California custody order. Should both parents be in agreement over changes to a custody order, the process can be completed by way of a new written stipulated court order. When the parents don’t see eye to eye, mediation may be required. When the parties disagree on parenting arrangements in changing a custody order, the parents must establish that a change of circumstances led to the need for alterations. The alterations must also be in the child or children’s best interests before it will be approved by the judge. When discussing the need for changes to your custody order, it would be helpful to employ the services of an experienced family law attorney. An attorney experienced in child custody litigation will be familiar with the process, and will ensure that both your rights and your children’s best interests are protected. Arlene Kock is an experienced family law attorney with an office in San Ramon, California. A sole practitioner at her own firm, Ms.Kock and her full service law firm focuses on child custody litigation, same-sex marriage dissolution, and all other aspects of family law.

ZUMI

The signature Zumi Roll from Pleasanton’s Zumi Japanese Restaurant

DATE NIGHT Tired of the same old, same old date night spot? From cozy and casual to primp and preen, here are a few newer options for dining out in the Tri-Valley.

By Janet Fazio

Better ambiance than you’d expect from its shopping center location greets you when you walk through the door at Pleasanton’s Zumi Japanese Restaurant. If you’re a surf and turf fan, the signature Zumi roll is for you. It contains spicy crab and avocado topped with seared New York steak, green onions and ponzu sauce. If spicy tuna is more your speed, get the red dragon roll, which has shrimp tempura, cucumber and avocado topped with spicy tuna and tempura flakes. Hibachi, teriyaki and all you can eat sushi are also on the menu. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday-Sunday. Times vary. Check website or call to confirm hours. Closed Mondays. Beer and wine only. Rolls start at $3.50, entrÊes at $13.95. ZumiSushiRestaurant.com or 925.225.9988.

REVEL KITCHEN & BAR

Dark wood accents and soft lighting has Danville’s Revel Kitchen & Bar swimming in atmosphere. Farm fresh deviled eggs with bacon and truffle oil from the bar bites are a great starter. Burrata and fritto misto, two of Revel’s small plate options, can double as a main course. The burrata, topped with wild mushrooms, was good, but the fritto misto was a home run. It featured wild prawns, cauliflower, fennel, cannellini beans and lemon slices deep fried in a light, nicely seasoned batter. Desserts here are a must. Beignets, when available, will leave you dreaming of New Orleans. The butterscotch pudding was pretty awesome, too. Open daily, 4pm to 11pm (12am on Friday and Saturday). EntrÊes start at $12.50. Full bar. RevelKitchenandBar.com or 925.208.1758.

THE LAST WORD

AMERICAN KITCHEN

Signature cocktails are the showstopper at Livermore’s The Last Word. Whether you prefer bourbon, gin, rum or vodka, they have a concoction (or several) that are made to impress. The kitchen does a nice job too, serving up small plates as well as a couple of entrÊe options. Their wild shrimp served in a bowl with garlic, Spanish olive oil, chili, sherry and crusty bread was a hit. The jumbo shrimp was cooked to perfection and took on all of the great flavors in the sauce. The spicy pork tacos were a close runner up. Skip the brussels sprouts and order the beet and endive salad. Open Tuesday-Sunday, 4pm to midnight (1am on Fri-Sun). Closed Mondays. Full bar. Tapas start at $7. DrinkEatGather. com or 925.493.7293.

Lafayette has been the spot for restaurant openings of late. American Kitchen joins the ranks on Lafayette Circle, getting kudos for having the most charming dining room. Located in a 1930s style house, it showcases down-home recipes using local ingredients. The gaucho steak salad features tender flat iron steak prepared to order on a bed of lettuce with arugula, tomato, avocado, cotija cheese and ancho dressing. It’s a flavorful choice that works well for lunch or a lighter dinner. Burgers come with a choice of fries or shoestring-style sweet potato fries. Fried chicken and scampi help round out the dinner menu. Open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Times vary: please check website. EntrÊes start at $15. Beer and wine only. 925.385.0352 or American-Kitchen1.com.

DAYCATION By Janet Fazio

Solano County’s Montezuma Hills were once home to Sacramento Northern Railway’s main line, on which electric trains carried travelers from Sacramento to San Francisco’s Trans Bay Terminal via ferry boats across the Suisun Bay. Today, guests of the Western Railroad Museum can travel on a portion of that main line on a restored car that dates back to 1903. Dedicated to preserving the history of electric rail—known more popularly today as light rail—in addition to train rides, the museum features a guided tour of a car barn, which houses a dozen or so restored train cars. Guests to the museum will learn about the Peninsular Railway, an interurban passenger rail which operated between Palo Alto and San Jose, the San Francisco Municipal Railway, and the Key System which carried passengers into San Francisco from Oakland, Berkeley and Piedmont on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge. The museum offers rides aboard two historic train cars. The Interurban recreates the experience of riding a historic electric rail car one hundred years ago. The hour-long round trip ride takes you through pastures, by an old church and through ranch land. While there isn’t a ton of stuff to look at, the scenery is beautiful. I find something inherently relaxing about riding trains, so the simple yet beautiful scenery makes the journey thoroughly enjoyable. The museum’s Streetcar recreates the historic experience of riding through a small community for approximately 15 minutes. Both train rides are included in the cost of admission and you can ride as many times as you would like.

If time permits, pack a lunch to enjoy in the adjacent Laflin Park picnic area, or pick up a hot dog, chips, soda and other snack items at the museum’s Depot Cafe. Be sure to see the Traction Labs Exhibit inside the museum, which includes a full-detailed interactive HO-scale train layout that uses renewable energy to power two different electric railways. See if you can spot Snoopy driving a tow truck, the Mayor negotiating with a tough customer, a traffic jam, the solar array, Reuben’s sandwich shop and the electrical substation. If you go: Find the Western Railway Museum at 5848 State Highway 12, between Suisun City and Rio Vista. It’s right by the Montezuma Hills Windfarm, so if you haven’t seen windmills yet, don’t worry, you haven’t missed it. Open 10:30am to 5pm year round on Saturday and Sunday. Open Wednesday through Sunday, Memorial Day through Labor Day. The Museum hosts wine tasting and flower trains in April, a pumpkin patch festival with a hay fort, tractor rides and music in October and holiday celebrations in December. Admission is $7 to $10 and free for children 2 and under. Due to the historic nature of the antique railway equipment, rail cars are not wheelchair accessible. Rail cars are not heated or air conditioned. Please dress appropriately for the weather. The museum welcomes well behaved dogs and they are allowed on the trains. For more information, visit WRM.org or call 707.374.2978.
