How to Avoid Conflict

Divorced parents can avoid conflict by planning ahead for back to school and special events, vacations, birthdays and other activities. Such planning is important for parents and children alike because it creates an atmosphere of certainty and is reassuring to everyone. Be sure to pin down the dates and hours of pick up and drop off with a reasonable grace period if commute corridors are busy during the designated exchange times. Keep the other parent in the loop: Even if you are the primary custodial parent, share information with the lesser time share parent. Information on school schedules, special friends, planned trips and how the children are generally doing provides continuity to each parent. Admit when you make a mistake: Did you arrive late for a pick up or drop off? In the last exchange did you fail to return all of the items that were needed for the following school day? It won’t hurt to sincerely apologize. In fact, this approach can demonstrate that you are bigger than what happened and that your focus is on getting it right for the children. Seek help: If communication with the other parent is badly damaged, consider co-parenting counseling. Avoiding conflict is the best way for everyone to have an enjoyable school year and the holidays. Knowing your rights is the best legal strategy and the starting point to producing the best outcome when returning to the family law court.

DAYCATION CA CAT ATION ATI ATION Lake Berryessa Byy Judy B Judy d Mena Mena na

L

ake Berryessa at 26 miles long and 3 miles wide, is one of the largest man-made lakes in California. It was created in 1957 when the small town of Monticello was flooded by the creation of the Monticello Dam on Putah Creek near the town of Winters. I hear stories of how my parents used to drive to Lake Berryessa as it was being filled and could literally back down an old road to launch their boat for free. I am a second generation Lake Berryessa vistor and I don’t remember those days, but I’ve spent many days floating on my air mattress in the lake, boating, water skiing, jet skiing, camping and going up for simple day trips. It seems no matter where I have moved in the bay area, Lake Berryessa has always been a relatively short drive away. With water temps in the mid-70s during the summer, and so many activities, it’s easy to see why this lake is a favorite of locals. We recently visited Lake Berryessa via Winters. This sleepy little town located just off of I-505 is great place to stop for a bite to eat and some wine tasting. While there are many outstanding food choices, we opted for the Putah Creek Cafe. Featured on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives� hosted by Guy Fieri, the food here did not disappoint. Stop in the Winters Visitor Center on Main Street, where you can find a map of places to go wine tasting in town. As we continued up the beautifully winding highway 128 toward the lake, we passed through orchards and traveled along side Putah Creek, which offers fishing, barbequing and picnicking. To add to the nostalgia, it’s worth noting that Putah Creek is the “Green River� John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival sang about in the late 1960’s. A left turn off 128 onto Pleasants Valley

Road will take you to Lake Solano, a relaxing destination of its own with scenic paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking and more. Peacocks roam the grounds to the delight of children. Parking is $5. Don’t forget mosquito repellent if it’s early evening. For camping reservations, visit ParkReservations.SolanoCounty.com. Continuing up 128, you’ll eventually reach the top of the Monticello Dam, where there is room to pull off the highway and take in the view of the lake, the dam and the glory hole. Despite the drought, the lake didn’t look as low as expected, and there is still plenty of water at Lake Berryessa to enjoy summer water activities. We drove around to three different lake resort locations on Berryessa’s south shore. Markley Cove is for boaters and jet skiing only. Further down you will find Pleasure Cove, which I’m sure is great when the lake is higher but not quite to my liking under current conditions. House boats are available at this location. My favorite spot on this trip was the Steele Canyon Campground. There are several pull out locations along Highway 128 where you can park for free and take an easy (or difficult) walk down to the lake shores, but beware; these are clearly marked as high theft areas. One final tip is the micro brewery, Berryessa Brewing Company, located along highway 128 just outside Winters. They offer barbeque and live music on the weekends and a six-beer tasting flight for $10. For more information on Lake Berryessa recreation, visit GoBerryessa. com. For boat and jet ski rentals, visit www.LakeBerryessaBoats.com.

The more runners from a designated school will generate a larger percent of how much money will be handed to them in the end. The start line is located at 1201 Main Street, Walnut Creek. Runners are encouraged to start making their way to the start line no later than 7:15am. The start of the event is at 8am. Register at WalnutFestivalRun. com ($25-$35).

House-made potato chips are free. Be careful - once you start, you won’t be able to stop. EntrÊes range from $10 to $36. Full bar. 925.736.4295 or BlackhawkGrille.com.

BLUE GINKO

If dinner in a resort-like setting is just what the doctor ordered, Blue Ginkgo’s patio, with its own dedicated bar, has your prescription to a great evening out. The ahi poke salad with cucumbers, red onions and spiced sesame vinaigrette is a good place to start. If you like your sushi with a bit of heat, order the spicy volcano roll, which contains tuna and crab rolled in crunchy bits of deep-fried batter. Pair it with a tatsu roll with tuna, shrimp, crab, eel, jalapeno and garlic aioli. Or, stay on the milder side with the Alaska roll filled with salmon, avocado and scallions. If you prefer your food cooked, there are lots of options, including chicken teriyaki and a flat-iron steak. Sushi ranges from $7 to $18. Full bar. BlueGingkoSushi.com or 925.648.7838.

FERRARI’S CUCINA ITALIANA

Of the three restaurants at Blackhawk Plaza owned by Rodney Worth (the Prickly Pear and the Little Pear are the other two), Ferrari’s is my favorite. Start with Diablo prawns, which are perfect for sharing. Shallots, garlic, olive oil and chilies bring out the flavor of the prawns without being too spicy. Sticking with the prawns, Ferrari’s capellini with prawns, tomato, garlic, olive oil and white wine is one of the lighter entrÊe choices. Or for something more filling, pair a salad with a flatbread pizza for a complete meal. The San Ramon, with caramelized onions, roasted pear, mozzarella and gorgonzola is a great choice. EntrÊes range from $11 to $19. Beer and wine only. RodneyWorth.com or 925.309.4180.

THE FIELDHOUSE

Sports minded diners can get their fill at The Fieldhouse Sports Grill, where dozens of TVs ensure that you don’t have to miss a single play. The menu is eclectic, with everything from street tacos to pizzas, burgers and salads. Be sure to try the knock out nachos that are loaded with either tender, juicy chicken breast or house-made chili with fire-roasted sweet red peppers, salsa, cream sauce, pepper jack and guacamole. The Fieldhouse’s cobb is prepared with grilled chicken, bacon, tomatoes, red onion and fresh basil. Sweet dried cherries and candied pecans make this salad a standout. Favorite entrÊes include herbed chicken with grilled veggies and mashed potatoes. EntrÊes range from $9 to $22. Full bar. 925.886.1812 or FieldhouseSportsGrill.com.
