Cupertino residents and businesses can find more information at www.cupertino.org/wagewatch. volume XXXIX number 5 3 b y J e r r y Ta l l i n g e r – C u p e r t i n o C E R T m e m b e r simply safe | june Pool and Water Safety Summer is here and we will all be looking forward to a dip in the pool or ocean. Now is the time to start thinking about your safety and the safety of your children. Around a pool or spa, apply these simple steps to save lives. • Never leave a child unattended in a pool or spa or anywhere near the water. If a child is missing, look for him or her in the water first. • Learn and teach children basic water safety tips. Have a set of rules for around the pool such as no running, no diving in the shallow end, no fighting or holding others under the water. • Keep children away from pool drains, pipes and other openings to avoid entrapments where they can get caught and drown. • Have a telephone close by when you or your family is using a pool or spa so you can call 911 if needed. • Learn how to swim and teach your child how to swim. There are good swim schools and pro- grams available in Cupertino. • Learn to perform the basics of life-saving and CPR on children and adults, and update those skills regularly. • Having the appropriate equipment for your pool or spa such as a 4 ft or taller fence with a self-closing and self-latching gate. Install and use a lockable safety cover on your spa. Have life rings and reaching poles easily available for non-swimmers and know how to use them. • Ensure any pool and spa you use has compliant drain covers, and ask your pool service provider if you do not know. • Maintain protective pool and spa covers in good working order. • Consider using a surface wave or underwater alarm. • In public pools, is there a lifeguard at the pool or spa to watch children and adults? In the ocean or at lakes, the drowning danger is amplified by the fact that there are often significant waves or undercurrents. Here are a few additional safety tips to remember: • Make sure you are within easy reach of small children who cannot swim. They can quickly get swept away and drown if a wave or undercurrent knocks them down. Wearing a life preserver is advised for non-swimmers. • If available, note the location of the nearest lifeguard station to call for help if needed. • Do not swim out beyond the distance that you are confident you can swim back without a life preserver or floatation device. • Always make sure you tell someone where you are going, whether in the water or not, at the beach or lake. • Watch for signs of hypothermia such as blue lips, uncontrolled shivering, or altered mental state, especially in children. Get the victim out of the water and use a blanket or towel to warm them. • Wear a waterproof sunscreen to prevent sunburn with an SPF appropriate for the length of time you plan on being in the sun and the degree of protection desired. Consult your dermatologist for their recommendation for your skin type. Have a safe and fun time swimming this summer. Upcoming Public Sessions: FREE!

Review the water safety rules with your children before they go into the water and lather them with sunscreen for safety . If you do only one thing to prepare this month: cupertino scene June 20164 Before Cupertino was really a town - when it had a blacksmith shop and a general store at the Cross- roads and very little else - immigrants from France, Germany, Italy and even overland from east of the Rocky Mts. came to California, not to search for gold, but to buy and settle and work the land. Land was gold. The earliest vineyard in the Westside (Cupertino) was planted by one of the area's first settlers, Cap- tain Elisha Stephens - hunter, trapper, explorer and wagon master. After successfully guiding the Ste- phens/Murphy/Townsend party over the plains and high Sierras, Stephens settled along the creek that now bears his name and planted a small vine- yard and a blackberry patch that became Black- berry Farm swim resort in much later years. In 1870, after Stephens had left the area for Ba- kersfield, the Jesuit priests of Santa Clara College bought 320 acres on a plateau above the creek and called it Villa Maria. (Stevens Creek Dam area) They envisioned the land a summer retreat for the priests from Santa Clara University and planted a vineyard of sacramental wines for the church and commercial wines to provide revenues for the college. Even before the Jesuits planted their vineyard, a German farmer, Henry Farr, bought 240 acres around 1868 at the intersection of Prospect and Stelling roads. Farr called his ranch Grandview as it had a panoramic view of the Santa Clara Valley. He planted grapes for Cabernet, Matero, Burger, Zin- fandel and Reisling wines. in 1910, Henry sold his last piece of land to Painless Parker, a S.F. dentist with unorthodox marketing methods. (Present site - Parker Ranch Rd.) One of the Westside's most successful early winer- ies was owned by John T. Doyle, (1814 - 1906) chief counsel to the archdiocese of San Francisco. He had a beautiful mansion in Menlo Park but want- ed a country estate as well. His property extended from Foothill Blvd. to Orange Ave in Monta Vista and from Stevens Creek Blvd to McClellan Rd. He built two very large winery buildings (Cupertino Winery and Las Palmas) plus a large home, many outbuildings, including a Chinese hotel for workers and another building he called the Palace Hotel. He had a dairy, large poultry yards, huge 4 story water tanks, and an elevated glass-lined, 1/4 mile long pipe to transport the wine from his eastern winery to his western winery, across the same ar- royo that De Anza and his soldiers had traversed some 160 years before. Doyle had the first post of- fice on his property and used the name Cuper- tino, which replaced the name of Westside. His wines were sold on the East Coast, Europe and took 2nd place in the 1904 Chicago World's Fair. He dammed up sections of Stevens Creek for wa- ter to process his grapes into wine, with pumping stations all along the creek. His water system was the basis for Cupertino's Municipal Water System in the later 1900's. The 1906 S.F. earthquake dam- aged his extensive buildings and Doyle died later that year. His summer home remained on McClel- lan Road until the 1960's while different Cupertino city councils debated about preserving the build- ings along with the property as a large park. Even- tually, the land on which the wineries and house stood on McClellan Road was sold to develop- ers and the massive wine buildings and lovely old home disappeared. A few miles down the road from Doyle's western winery buildings was Richard Heney's Chateau Ricardo on 280 acres (1884) Heney raised Isabella, Tocay, Petit Syrah, and Zinfandel grapes. His wines received medals at the Paris Exposition. Cupertino's first millionaire, Charles Baldwin had the Millefleurs Winery on what is now De Anza College. He produced Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Merlot. His wines were exported to New York, London and Central America where they competed successfully with French wines. Several other early Cupertinians who had vineyards and wineries were Alex Montgomery (brandy distillery and kosher wines) Thomas Duncan Benrimo had 56 acres on what is now Target and the parking lot. Three ship captains - William Porter, Joseph Merithew and Daniel Henry Blake established vineyards in the flatlands of Cupertino after their sea voyages. Other family vineyards were owned by John H. Snyder, W.T. McClellan, Jose Ramon Arguello, George McCauley, J.B.J. Portal and Enoch Parrish. The Italians and the French took to the rugged slopes of Montebello Ridge. There, the Picchetti family built one of earliest wineries in California. The vineyards produced Zinfandels, Garignane, Petite Syrahs for red wine and Columbard and Golden Shasta for white wines. Also on the Ridge, but extending into Saratoga, was H.V. Garrod's proper- ty. Both Picchetti and Garrod wineries still make and bottle their own wines under their own names. Farther up on Montebello was Pierre Klein from France who produced wines for his restaurant in San Francisco - Claret X and the Grand Vin. (also known as the Chateau Lafitte of America) Klein entered his wines at Bordeaux, France in 1895 and next in Brussels, where he won the highest award given, a gold medal with an effigy of Leopold II and a gold & white cross. Klein became an international celebrity for his wines. In Paris he won two more gold med- als, which lent his wines even more prestige. In 1907, Klein gave his wife, Victorine, 160 acres of the land on Montebello Ridge. In 1913, Victorine and Pierre roots | june Westside Wineries b y G a i l F r e t w e l l - H u g g e r This year is the 50th anniversary of the Cupertino Historical Society.

Upcoming Eco Events Looking to reduce your environmental impact this summer? Whether you want to go zero waste, prevent pollution, or fight the drought, one of these FREE events is sure to satisfy your eco-curiosity. Cupertino Restaurants Challenge the Throwaway Lifestyle Cupertino has long been a leader in waste and litter reduction, paving the way with a plastic bag ban, a polystyrene ban, and our organics collection program. But now that bringing your reusable bag to the grocery store is second nature, what else can you do to minimize your impact? If you are looking to toss out the throwaway lifestyle and contribute to a cleaner Cupertino, look no further than the example set by Cupertino’s four restaurants that have committed to Clean Water Action’s program ReThink Disposable. Partnering with the City of Cupertino, ReThink Disposable pro- vides free technical assistance to food businesses to help reduce their use of throwaway products. On April 19, J&J Hawaiian BBQ, JS Stewhouse, Pebbles Deli Café, and Erik’s Deli Café (highlighted in last month’s Scene) received business proclama- tions from Mayor Barry Chang for their exceptional environmental leadership, as exemplified by their adoption of Rethink Disposable recommendations. Due to their changes, these businesses will collectively prevent 242,739 disposable items, reduce 3,640 pounds of waste, and save about $10,091 each year. “I would definitely recommend for all businesses to work with ReThink Disposable, you never know where you will find savings,” noted Christina Tran, Co-owner of JS Stewhouse. Next time you are dining out, follow the example set by our Rethink Disposable restaurants and be mindful of the impact of single use products. Only take the amount of napkins and con- diments you need, and think twice before you take a straw. When possible, choose reusable dishware, drinkware and cutlery, and bring your own food storage containers for left- overs. Lastly, choose restaurants that have proven their commitment to reducing waste and litter by looking for the Rethink Disposable decal in the window.

Please take note of the steps that must be taken to protect Cupertino’s creeks! As prohibited by City ordinance, DO NOT drain pool water to the street! If you do, the water will flow into a storm drain, and straight into one of Cupertino’s creeks without treatment. The chlorine and pool chemicals in pool water are a threat to aquatic creatures in the creeks. Pool water must be pumped to landscaping with capacity to hold the water without runoff or into the home’s sanitary sewer “clean-out.” Before a pool is drained, the pool owner or pool techni- cian should call the Cupertino Sanitary District at 408.253.7071. District staff can provide assistance in finding the home’s “clean-out” and answer questions about the appropriate pumping flow rate and the right time of day to be draining the pool. To obtain a brochure to guide you through the pool draining process, call 408.777.3354 or email environmental@cupertino.org. volume XXXIX number 5 11 community calendar | june De Anza Flea Market 8 am - 4 pm De Anza College 408.864.8946 deanza.fhda.edu/fleamarket Cupertino Kids Chess Club*10 am - 12:30 pm 10675 S.

Welcome New Businessessold the entire 160 acres , along with crops & build- ings to John M. Williams for $10. It can only be spec- ulated as to why Klein sold his land for such a paltry sum. The Kleins moved to Mountain View. In 1920 Victorine died suddenly after an operation to save her life. Two years later, Pierre died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. John Gemello, a former caretaker of Paul Masson's Evergreen Vineyards, had a winery on Montebello in 1915. Some of the other vintners on the Ridge were the Torre's, the Sylvester Panighetti's, the Joseph Gautier's and Charlie Rousten - who swore that Pro- hibition and revenue agents were more responsible for the demise of small family wineries than compe- tition from the large corporate wineries. At the very top of the Ridge was Osea Perrone's winery. Perrone was a doctor in S.F. who had a stone wine cellar built into the side of one of the hills, for aging his wine. He would sometimes bring his patients from S.F. to the mountain ridge to rest and recuperate. From his home and winery on the very top of the Ridge, he often drove his buggy west towards the Pacific Ocean on rugged moun- tain trails to San Francisco. On one such journey his buggy overturned and he suffered a leg injury that led to his death. Perrone's winery is now Ridge Winery and noted for its robust Zinfandels, among other wines produced. The root louse, "phylloxera" decimated vineyards worldwide between 1895 and 1905. Many winer- ies went out of business all over the world. If vint- ners could afford to replant, they did, though some pulled out their vines and planted orchards by the mile, leading to Santa Clara Valley's appella- tion, "The Valley of Heart's Delight." Now, over 100 years later, small boutique wineries abound again in the hills of the valley, stretching to Santa Cruz and along the summit roads and foothills to San Francisco.
