May 15. Again this year, the BPC will set up
an Energizer Station in front of the Quinlan
Community Center on Stelling, operating from
6:30-9:30 am, serving Hobee’s coffee cake and
Roasted Coffee Bean coffee while dispensing
information and encouragement to all passing
cyclists. HP will also sponsor an Energizer
Station at Tantau and Pruneridge, for all passing
cyclists as well as their cycling employees.
Bike to Work Day (BTWD) is a community
event that encourages residents to try bicycling
as their mode of transportation to get healthy
exercise while relieving traffic congestion, im-
proving air quality, reducing petroleum con-
sumption, and saving money.
Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition coordinates
BTWD for Santa Clara County. Bay Area-wide
BTWD contests challenge groups of cyclists to
form teams and submit records of their bike
commuting during Bike Month, which is the
month of May. Information can be found on the
SVBC web site at svbcbikes.org/btwd. For infor-
mation to help map bike routes to work, check
the 511 web site at bicycling.511.org.
Last year Cupertino recorded 230 bicyclists
pedalled by the BPC Stelling Energizer Station,
which doubled the prior year total. HP record-
ed 223 and Apple 173, for a citywide count of
626. The BPC Energizer Station also recorded
the round trip mileage of 88 riders who stopped
for coffee and cake, and tallied a total of 1,761
miles for an average commute of 20 miles. Little
wonder that they polished off Hobee’s coffee-
cake in short order.

Cupertino – Toyokawa
Sister City Exchange Program
In November 2008, an adult delegation will
go from Cupertino to Toyokawa, Japan to
celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Sister
City relationship.
Toyokawa families will host the delegates in
their homes from November 6 through 11,
which is a wonderful opportunity for the visi-
tors. Toyokawa plans sightseeing and other ac-
tivities for the delegates while they are in Japan.
Delegates pay their own expenses to Japan.
The Cupertino delegates in turn host the
adults who will come from Japan from July 8
through 14. The Japanese delegates will go to
scheduled events on weekdays, but will be free
to enjoy activities with their host families on
the weekend.
There are a few spaces left. Contact Lucille
Honig at 408.257.7424 if you are interested in
being part of this enriching Sister City exchange.
There will be a meeting of the 30th Anniversary
Delegation from Cupertino at 7:30 pm on May
22 at Cupertino City Hall.
Take Steps Walk
May 10, 5 pm, d e anza College
Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis is the nation’s
largest event dedicated to finding cures for
digestive diseases. The Northern California
Chapter is hosting this year’s Take Steps walk.
At latest estimate, approximately 1.4 million
Americans have Crohn’s disease or ulcerative
colitis. The unpredictable nature of the diseases
creates a significant burden on the community
and the economy: more than $1.26 billion in di-
rect and indirect costs annually, according to the
American Gastroenterological Association.
Participants raise money for crucial research
that wouldn’t have been possible a few short
years ago, bringing us closer to a future free
from Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Beyond raising money for research, Take Steps
brings together the Crohn’s and colitis communi-
ty in a fun and energetic atmosphere. Participants
are encouraged to make noise and be heard, rais-
ing awareness of these little-known diseases in
their community and across the nation.
To register for the event, visit www.cctakesteps.
org or call Trish Wynne at 800.241.0758.

Creek Cleanup on saturday, May 17, 9 am-noon
Volunteers are needed to clean up creeks
throughout the county. For a list and map of

Action Group web site at www.cleanacreek.org
or call the Santa Clara Valley Water District at
408.265.2607 ext. 2331.
washing Cars? watCh yOur sOaP
All types of soap and detergent, including “bio-
degradable” soaps, are toxic to fish and oth-
er aquatic creatures. So when you wash your
car, don’t pour the leftover soapy water into the
street or down a storm drain. Storm drains are
directly connected to the nearest creek. Instead,
pour it down a sink or toilet, or on a landscaped
area where it won’t run onto a sidewalk. Con-
sider whether you even need to use soap on your
car. Much of the dirt on cars can often simply be
hosed off with water or wiped with a wet sponge.
If you are involved with a fund-raising car wash,
please ask the organizers to contact the Public
Works Dept, at 408.777.3354, for a brochure on
what you need to know before you hold it.

MOre tiPs On hOw tO Be “green”
save water: Home water use has major impacts
on energy use. Using a dishwasher with large
loads saves significant water and energy from
hand-washing dishes, and so does using large
loads in the washing machine instead of many
small loads. Drip irrigation systems on automatic
timers save lots of water that is otherwise used
unnecessarily for landscaping.
use the Power of your green: Avoid over-pack-
aged products and disposable goods, when pos-
sible, buy in-season food produced in your area,
and buy in bulk. Packaging and transportation
use great amounts of energy. Reduced packaging
means not only cutting down on pollution, but it
means saving energy required to make and dis-
pose of the packaging.
garden green: Use drought-tolerant plants and
avoid pesticides. Native and drought-tolerant
plants not only save you water, they can save
you time and the expense of using pesticides and
insecticides. Native plants, including lawn vari-
eties designed for your climate are usually better
adapted for local conditions and pests than so-
called “exotics”.
spare the air: Reduce your peak time (1-6 pm)
energy use during heat waves and drive less on
high air pollution days.

water – FOr surViVal and sustenanCe.
Following a large-scale disaster the most im-
portant resource you’ll need is the most simple.
Enough water will help you and your family
stay healthy and hydrated. In this article we’ll
go over some helpful tips on how to treat, clean,
and store water.
treat: After finding water, treating it is an equally
crucial process. Here are guidelines from the Cu-
pertino Office of Emergency Services website:
• Boil water for 3-5 minutes, then cool.
• Add 16 drops of plain, unscented liquid bleach
5.25% sodium hypochlorite for each gallon.
• Stir and let stand for 30 minutes.
• If water does not have a slight bleach odor,
repeat the dosage and let stand another 15
minutes.
• You can also purchase water purification tab-
lets where camping supplies are sold.
store: Make sure you have enough water to sus-
tain your family following a disaster by fol-
lowing these guidelines for minimum storage
amounts:
• Have one gallon per person or animal per
day for at least 3 days.
• Replace every six months. Hint: Purchase
cases of bottled water and write the current
date on the boxes and use for everyday con-
sumption. A case of bottled water is a little
more than 3 gallons.
• Store larger quantities in plastic, glass, fi-
berglass or enamel-lined metal containers.
Food-grade plastic drums are also available.
• Store in a cool, dark place.
Water can also be purchased in containers with
a five year shelf life but beware! Make sure you
develop a reminder system so you don’t let the
water go past its expiration.
If you live upstairs, be sure your water is in con-
tainers that are light enough to carry down. If
you plan to be walking for long distances, in-
vest in a portable lightweight hydration carrier
(backpack system).
water Company preparedness: Following a major
earthquake, water pipes could be damaged and
take weeks to repair. Santa Clara Valley Water
District and other water companies are purchas-
ing pipes now and burying them for easy access
when they have to address emergency repair is-
sues. San Jose Water Company is partnering with
other water companies and investing in a water
bagging system. It will allow them to create bags
of water, from a non-contaminated source, and
distribute the public. This does not mean that you
shouldn’t store water! There may not be any un-
contaminated water and, if there is, it will take
more than three days to set up the process.
huMan raCe run/walk Fundraiser
Cupertino Citizen Corps raising money for sup-
plies. Cupertino’s disaster volunteers are partici-
pating in the Human Race run/walk at Shoreline
Park on May 10. They are taking pledges to raise
money to purchase a disaster response trailer for
emergency supply transport. If you would like to
support the team, call 408.777.3335.
iF yOu dO Only One thing tO PrePare this MOnth…
Find an easy to transport container such as a
wheeled luggage bag or a durable plastic bin
with wheels and a handle that would serve as a
carrier to transport non-perishable food and wa-
ter. Following an earthquake or any serious di-
saster, you may have to mobilize yourself and
your family from the danger zone. Consolidate
crucial survival items and have them in a por-
table storage unit to help your adaptation to the
unknown, post-disaster environment.

The other day I was looking for something to
read and picked up a little book I’d purchased at
one of the Cupertino Historical Society potlucks.
Our special speaker that evening was Nona
Mock Wyman, who had written a book enti-
tled Chopstick Childhood in a Town of Silver
Spoons… Orphaned in Los Gatos at the Ming
Quong Home.
My youngest daughter had volunteered at Ming
Quong as a teenager. The history of this place
goes back nearly 150 years and has its roots in
the Donaldina Cameron House in San Francis-
co. In Nona’s book, she provides historical back-
ground for Ming Quong and the heroic efforts of
Donaldina Cameron, but the story mostly con-
cerns her childhood and the years of mystery
surrounding her origins.
In 1935 her mother took her from their tiny flat
in San Francisco. They were driven to Los Gatos
by an unknown driver and she was left at Ming
Quong home for orphaned Chinese girls. At age
2-1/2, she was the youngest child ever admitted to
the home. It is a heart-wrenching story of this tiny,
frightened child, abandoned and crying for her
mother. The book tells the story of how she man-
aged to survive and thrive in a totally different
world than the only one she had known, and also a
timeless lesson of love, forgiveness and hope.
Here is an excerpt from her wonderful and
touching book, which opens a window for all of
us to see the past and enter into an experience
different than our own.
“A stranger entered, [the flat in San Francisco] a
woman I had never seen before. Mother spoke to
me in Chinese and said she was taking us for a
ride in her car. ...Even though I was happy to go
for a ride, there was no recollection of the long
ride to Los Gatos, which in those days without
freeways took about two hours.
We arrived at the Ming Quong Home, an orphan-
age for Chinese girls. And the next thing I re-
call is being in a huge room and I was crying and
screaming. For some reason I had been separat-
ed from my mother and made to sit on a strange
woman’s lap. My mother and our driver were
standing next to me. I wanted to be out of this
stranger’s lap and in my mother’s arms. But the
harder I tried to get away, the tighter the grasp.
I felt stifled and out of breath. I stopped my
screaming and gulped for air. It was then I no-
ticed a group of women in the middle of the room
standing together looking at me. They appeared
like looming statues silhouetted against daylight
filtered from an adjoining room.
Behind the women was a cluster of young girls who
were tense and huddled together and they too were
peering at me. No one spoke. It was eerie; they
just stared. ...I wondered, what was I doing in this
room? I wanted to leave this place and go home.
Desperately I reached out for my mother...”Ma
mah,” I cried. There was no reply. I was terrified;
that was not like her. Again I pleaded, “Ma mah.”
She looked down at me blankly and did not seem
to understand my terror.”
After Nona’s mother left her, she was bathed,
given different clothes and her hair was cut to
look like the other girls. Her questions are the
same of abandoned children everywhere. “Why
couldn’t she take care of me? Why did she leave
me? Did I do something wrong? I wonder if she
still loves me?”
Nona worried that with her new haircut; her
mother wouldn’t recognize her when she re-
turned to take her back home. (Her mother never
came back.) Exhausted and in shock, she doesn’t
remember the rest of the day or even going to
bed. Many days or weeks or months later, she re-
members that some of the older girls would hold
her hand and walk and talk with her and coax
her to let them push in the swing. And slowly this
tiny girl began to smile again but she never forgot.
Nona’s story chronicles a time in our valley and
the Bay Area that is long gone. It is a story of hope,
survival and trying to integrate without forgetting
the past; of wanting to know more of beginnings,
of roots, and of trying to understand mysteries of
the past. Nona’s book is available at the Cupertino
Library and also at the Cupertino Museum.
