Cardio Pulmonary Resuscita-
tion (CPR)
Heart attacks happen every day.
Recently someone experienced
a sudden cardiac arrest at the
Cupertino Sports Center. A
bystander performed CPR
and used the on-site Auto-
mated External Defibrillator
(AED) and the person was
revived!
You may be the person who is
first on scene, so each one of us is
a first responder. Do you know CPR?
CPR moves oxygen to the brain to keep it alive
until advanced life support arrives. The aver-
age fire department response time for Cuper-
tino is 3-5 minutes. Initiating CPR before the
fire department arrives gives the patient the
best chance of survival.
Here are the basic steps. These guidelines
are not intended to replace a CPR class, but
to remind you how easy it can be to save a
life. Get trained!
Check the scene to be sure it is safe to assist.•
Check the patient for responsiveness. If •
not responding, call 9-1-1 and get an AED.
Lay the patient down on their back.•
Kneel next to the patient’s head. Check •
for breathing by lifting the chin to tilt the
head. Look for their chest rising, listen,
and feel for breath.
If not breathing give two breaths to make •
the chest rise.
If the patient is still not breathing, begin CPR.•
Interlock fingers and lean straight over •
the patient’s chest. Lock elbows. With
straight arms, press straight down on the
patient’s chest (between the nipple line), to
a depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches
Press hard and fast, about 100 per minute.•
Perform 30 chest compressions and two •
breaths then repeat sequence 5 times.
If there is no change in patient condition, •
continue until the Fire Department arrives
If you have seen the pateint collapse, you •
can provide compression-only CPR.
These procedures are slightly different for
infants and children so please sign up for a
class and review training materials at least
once a year. (It wouldn’t be a bad idea to
take a Basic First Aid class too.)
CPR classes are offered at Quinlan Commu-
nity Center (online registration at www.
cupertino.org/parks_recreation
and American Red Cross www.
scv-redcross.org.

great for kids to carry around in the dark be-
cause they are lightweight, and don’t break!

A little Cemetery History
Since it’s October, I thought an armchair
visit to some cemeteries might be in order.
Cemeteries are places of fascinating history,
aside from any notable persons who may be
buried there.
Santa Clara Valley has several historic
cemeteries. The oldest is probably the one
attached to Santa Clara University, a Catho-
lic cemetery. A Protestant cemetery is across
the street. The cemetery in Mountain View
has tombstones for Union soldiers from
the Civil War. Oak Hill Cemetery in San
Jose contains some members of the ill-fated
Donner party of 1848-49. In the Madronia
cemetery in Saratoga, lies the widow of John
Brown of Civil War infamy.
Cupertino has a very lovely modern cem-
etery at the base of the foothills, but the
old graveyards exhibit a wealth of colorful
history. They contain different architectural
styles such as Tumulus, Egyptian, Classical,
Byzantine, Romanesque, and many more.
Incidentally, Gothic was originally a derisive
term used against the French by the Ital-
ians, who said that the French cathedrals
were so ugly, only a Goth could possibly
have built them.
In the old days, tomb styles were usually
indicative of wealth and standing in the
community. There were sarcophagus tombs,
chest tombs, altar tombs, barrel tombs, table
tombs, pedestal tombs, and an interesting
feature called a “mort safe,” which prevented
body theft for medical school purposes.
Plants, flowers, and animals that decorate
old tombstones have symbolic meanings.
When our country was young, many tomb-
stones portrayed a death’s head or skull,
reminding people that we are all mortal
and life is short. Eventually medicine and
health care improved and people began to
live longer lives. These macabre decorations
gave way to doves, palm branches, lilies, and
vines, which each carried a message of hope
for resurrection if the person was Christian.
Animals engraved on tombstones carried
messages too. Lions symbolized courage,
majesty, and strength. Oxen represented hu-
mility, patience, and doing quiet good works
for others. Dogs symbolize loyalty, vigilance
and watchfulness. Interestingly, even the
little squirrel shows up on some tombstones
but not with a positive message. If it is a
red squirrel, it symbolizes one of Satan’s
animals, for its ability to operate at many
different levels. Norse legends have squir-
rels running up and down causing strife
and confusion. Deer symbolize Psalm 42:l
and speak of solitude and contemplation. A
stag’s antlers are often said to represent the
Tree of Life. Butterflies represent the three
stages of life, death and resurrection. Little
lambs most often adorn a child’s grave.
The most prevalent symbols in most cem-
eteries in the U.S. are the cross of Christ
and angels. There are also many intricate
symbols that depict secret societies, clubs
and fraternal organizations. These take
research to decipher the story behind them
but are well worth the time.
Many people go to cemeteries to do tomb-
stone rubbings of the pictorial images and
text on the upright stones. Permission is
required for this. Cemeteries are also peace-
ful, quiet oases of green grass and trees,
places of contemplation and thoughtfulness
amid the bustle of everyday life. Even the
tiny, out-of-the-way graveyard, perhaps lost
in a forest, or lonely in a plowed field, has a
story to tell.

etery Symbolism and Iconography” - written and

Conservation Tips & Rebate
Program
Is your toilet a water hog?
Replacing an old 3-to-8-gallon-per-flush toi-
let with a new 1.28-gallon-per-flush (or less)
high-efficiency model could save thousands
of gallons per year. If you’d rather not buy a
new toilet, you can put a brick or some other
displacement device in the tank to reduce
the amount of water in each flush.
High-efficiency toilet: (Up to $125 rebate)
High-Efficiency toilets use a maximum of
1.28 gallons per flush (gpf), whereas an old
toilet may use up to 7 gpf. This category
includes dual-flush toilets.
Do you have an old washing machine?
A high-efficiency clothes washer may use
half the water and energy that a traditional
washer uses. And don’t forget to only run
full loads (in your dishwasher, too)!
High-efficiency clothes washer: ($125 or
$200 rebate, depending on model type) High-
Efficiency clothes washers use 35-50% less
water and approximately 50% less energy
than traditional washers. The water ef-
ficiency of clothes washers is rated using the
“water factor” to describe and compare its
water use. A lower water factor represents
greater efficiency.

Environmental Day
Residential Drop-off Event
October 18, 2008, 9 am - 1 pm, De Anza
College, parking lot “B” (Corner of Stelling
& Stevens Creek Blvd.)
Los Altos Garbage Company is providing
residents of Cupertino with a new program
designed to help promote recycling, reuse
and divert usable materials from the land-
fill. On Environmental Days, residents may
drop off waste materials free of charge.
The following materials are accepted:
Residential documents for confidential •
destruction
E-Waste (computers, monitors, printers, etc.)•
U-Waste (batteries, cell phones, CFLs and •
fluorescent tubes)
Yard waste and organic material for com-•
posting
Reusable furniture•
Clothing and shoes•
Children’s plastic toys and play structures•
A 2-cubic yard limit (i.e., one pick up truck
load) applies to the following materials:
Untreated wood•
Construction & demolition (C & D) material•
Dirt, rock and concrete•
Residents must unload their own materi-
als and provide a current collection bill and
personal identification (i.e., driver’s license)
to verify eligibility.
Note: This is a recycling and reuse event.
Please do not bring household hazardous
waste such as pesticides, fertilizers, paints
or other toxic chemicals. For recycling or
Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) dispos-
al information, please call the Countywide
HHW Program at 408.299.7300 or visit them
online at www.hhw.org.
For additional information about the Environ-
mental Days, please call Los Altos Garbage at
408.725.4020.
Copper in Brake Pads
Most brake pad material has a high percent-
age of copper. As the pads wear down, the
copper dust collects on the inside of the wheel
wells. Some of the dust drops onto the road,
but some stays in the wheel well.
When you wash your car, don’t hose out your
wheel wells. It’s best to take your car to a
commercial car wash, where the wash water
is sent to a treatment plant and the copper
can be filtered out before discharging to the
Bay. Copper has been shown to be a threat
to lower forms of aquatic life, like algae.
Residents may want to ask their automobile
maintenance representative if brake pads
without copper are available.
Needle and Syringe Disposal
New Drop off locations
Under California law, on September 1, 2008,
it became illegal to place needles, syringes,
and lancets into the in the trash or recycling
receptacles. When sharps are improperly
disposed of they pose a threat to sanitation
workers, adults, children, and even pets.
The County’s Household Hazardous Waste
Program has been recruiting pharmacies
throughout the county to provide residents
with convenient drop-off locations. Cuper-
tino Fire Station, 20215 Stevens Creek Blvd.
will accept sharps in a 1 or 1.5-quart size
biohazard sharps container. For additional
locations, visit www.hhw.org, and click on
“Household Sharps and Prescription Drugs”
for drop off locations in Santa Clara County.
Note: Residents MUST place sharps in bio-
hazard sharps containers, which are avail-
able for purchase at your local pharmacy,
before bringing them for disposal.
last Chance for Compost
This year
The city’s compost site will be open through
October 25th on Friday and Saturday morn-
ings from 8:30-11 at the Stevens Creek
Quarry site on Stevens Canyon Road across
from the dam. The site will then close for
the winter months. To participate, bring
your own shovels and containers and proof
of Cupertino residency. The Compost Site
will reopen on March 27, 2009. Watch for
notices in the Scene when the site reopens
in the Spring. Call the compost hotline at
408.777.1320 for more information.
Free Compost Classes
October 4, November 1, 10 am-12 pm, Mc-
Clellan Ranch Park, at 22221 McClellan Rd.
Autumn is the best time to start a com-
post pile because of the abundance of
fallen leaves. Backyard compost workshops
will be held on the first Saturdays of the
month. You can register on-line at www.
volume xxvi number 12
13
reducewaste.org (use the search function
to find “home composting”) or by calling
408.918.4640.
Compost Teachers Needed
Interested in becoming a Master Composter?
Modeled after the Master Gardener Pro-
gram, Master Composters receive free train-
ing in composting techniques in exchange for
performing 50 hours of volunteer service by
teaching workshops or staffing educational
booths at fairs. Cupertino sponsors free
backyard composting workshops at McClel-
lan Ranch Park during spring and fall.
Training classes are held in San Jose on
Wednesday evenings from January to March,
with some additional Saturday morning field
trip classes. Call the Home Composter Edu-
cation Program at 408.918.4640 for details
or email: compost@pln.sccgov.org.
» Flood Preparation
As this year’s rainy season begins, residents
should check to be sure they are prepared for
the possibility of flooding in their neighbor-
hoods. Those with property located in a flood
zone especially should be aware that standard
homeowner’s insurance policies do not cover
losses caused by floods or mudslides. Property
owners can protect against potential flood
damage by purchasing flood insurance and by
preparing a family disaster plan.
According to the Santa Clara Valley Water
District, some areas in Cupertino along Cala-
bazas Creek are considered at risk for flooding;
property near Stevens Creek is also at risk, but
to a lesser degree.
The city provides the following services to help
residents prepare for potential flooding:
Residents can find out if their property is in a 1.
flood zone by visiting the Cupertino Public
Works Department (call 408.777.3354 for
details). The Public Works Department
also offers elevation certificates for new
buildings constructed in the floodplain.
The City’s Building Department has a 2.
booklet called “What You Should know
Before You Hire a Contractor.” Booklets
are available at the downstairs counter at
City Hall.
Other information on flood preparedness 3.
is available on the Cupertino website at
www .cupertino .org/emergency.
Additional flood protection information 4.
and assistance can be obtained on the
FEMA website at www.fema.gov.
The Cupertino Library also holds publica-5.
tions for flood preparedness.
The city’s storm drainage system is composed
of street gutters, the storm drain sewer inlets
(at street corners), and the pipes that connect
the inlets to local creeks. This system drains
street runoff into the creeks and channels on
the valley floor.
Residents can assist the city, and help protect
their immediate neighborhood from local-
ized flooding, by sweeping gutters regularly
and checking that nearby storm drain grates
are not covered with leaves or litter. Residents
should abide by street sweeping/no park-
ing signs to allow the city to keep the gutters
clean and the storm drain system flowing. The
city routinely sweeps the gutters in residential
areas twice a month and in commercial areas
once a week.
In the fall, before the rains start, a city contrac-
tor vacuums out city storm drain inlets, and
checks for any evidence of hazardous materi-
als in the drains. This cleaning prevents any
illegally dumped materials that may be sitting
in the inlets, from washing into our creeks with
the first rains.
It is illegal to dump anything into a creek or
a storm drain. Residents can report dumping
incidents to the city by calling 408.777.3269
during office hours and 9-1-1 after hours and
on weekends.
