ROOTS
School has started - Hordes of students throng the
halls - years from now they will be telling tales
of their school days and the friends they made
- where are they now? - and all the things that
happened during their growing up years.
One of the fun things in writing ROOTS are the
notes I get from people about the subjects that
appear in the column. The column on Preston
School of Industry brought in some great memo-
ries from folks who lived in Ione in the old days.
Recently I got an email from a former Cupertino
High classmate and fellow choir member, remi-
niscing about growing up in Cupertino during the
1950’s and 60’s.
Ernie Thor was a year behind me in school - a self
proclaimed “sullen, skinny youth who wore the
requisite 1950’s-60’s haircut and the Levi’s of the
day which are definitely not today’s stone-washed,
designer jeans. Levi’s back then were stiff as a
board and had to be washed a couple of times
just so boys could get into them and thereafter
they were NEVER washed because the goal was
to get them so stiff with accumulated grime and
car grease that they would stand up in a corner
by themselves. Ernie’s minute descriptions of the
ins and outs of Levi, slacks and Khaki buying
and wearing and cutting off of belt loops, rolling
up cuffs on the inside to better hide a cigarette
pack and the differences between ethnic groups in
hairstyles, pants and making group statements by
what you wear doesn’t sound a whole lot different
than how things are now, just a lot more nostalgic.
Boys lived on their bikes in those days. Girls
were not nearly as mobile and besides, girls had
to wear dresses at all times which made it more
difficult to go on a bike. Schools had dress codes
back them and woe betide the girls who showed
too much knee or cleavage. They were instantly
sent home. Sometime in high school, Ernie
acquired a 1937 Ford. He remembered going to
Cupertino Auto on Highway 9 (De Anza Blvd)
where he recalled the guys could look at just
about any grease-covered part you brought in and
identify the make, model and year. Cupertino
Auto was near the Donut Wheel. For those of you
who never had the opportunity to hang out at the
original Donut Wheel, well, you missed a teenage
rite of passage. According to Ernie, the original
building was an old real estate office and he and
John and Dan Williams would sleep outside in the
William’s back yard during the summer and then
sneak out at 3 a.m. to the Donut wheel for coffee
and the best donuts on the west side.
Cupertino Crossroads in the 1950’s-60’s also had
a drug store, soda fountain, beauty salon, Flying
A gas station and the aforementioned Ange’s store
that carried a little bit of everything; clothing,
shoes, hats, undergarments, jewelry and acces-
sories. Quoting Ernie, “Mr. Ange was a big man
that always was full of energy and very atten-
tive to his customers. He parked his Cadillac
out behind the store where I folded newspapers
(for his paper route) with John Williams, another
paperboy. Our newspapers came tightly bound
with a single steel wire. We simply pulled the
center papers out of the bundle, leaving the wire
hoop intact, which we tossed out into the gravel
parking lot. One afternoon, when John and I were
folding our papers, Mr. Ange exited his store and
headed for his car. Somehow, he hooked one of
our discarded steel wire hoops, resulting in the
band circling both of his ankles. Arms akimbo,
and feet restricted to tiny steps, he wobbled across
the parking lot, cursing. Fortunately, he did not
fall and then he gave us “what for” for nearly top-
pling him. We picked up our discarded wire hoops
and from that time on, discarded them in the
garbage. But of course, after poor Mr. Ange left
the scene, John and I both died laughing, recalling
the image of the huge, pear shaped man tip-toe-
ing across the lot looking like an oversized ballet
dancer wobbling like a top”.
Ernie was the youngest member of the infamous
“Iconoclast” gang at Cupertino High. CHS started
out with only two classes, freshman and sopho-
mores; because it was a brand new school and the
students had been taken out of the larger student
body at Fremont High School. There was no upper
class until 1961 (the first graduating class) - and
there were no decades-old traditions to uphold or
pass on - no seasoned upperclassmen to be in awe
of, so Cupertino students growing pains were more
visible and as it was a brand new school, a lot was
expected. The “Iconoclast” was a bit more than
anyone expected, especially the teaching staff.
It was only six or eight double-sided mimeo-
graphed sheets, lampooning some of the teachers
and activities. It was written, cartooned, printed
and surreptitiously handed out by a few of the
brighter student lights and by today’s standards,
it would hardly cause a ripple. However, back “in
the day, it was calamitous. The hue and cry was
heard far and wide, made the local papers large
and small and heads rolled. The “ringleader” (who
shall go un-named) was expelled and had to finish

September ECO NEWS
Time to Start a Compost Pile
Compost is great for gardens and landscaping, and
you save money by not having to buy soil condi-
tioners, mulch and fertilizers. Backyard compost
workshops will be held on the first Saturdays of
October and November (Oct. 7 & Nov. 4). Fall is
one of the best times to start a compost pile be-
cause leaves are so abundant. Workshops are free,
and are held at McClellan Ranch Park, at 22221
McClellan Rd. Call 408.918-4640 to register.
Garbage Rate Increase
The Los Altos Garbage Co. has received a 1.9%
cost-of-living increase as of August 1. A typical
monthly single-can residential bill will increase from
$18.31 to $18.66.
Compost Available
The city’s compost site is open for bulk compost
pickup on Friday and Saturday mornings from
8:30 to 11, at no charge, at the Stevens Creek
Quarry site on Stevens Canyon Road (across from
the dam). No appointments are necessary. Only
city residents can use this program, please bring
proof of residency. The site will be closed Labor
Day weekend (Sept. 1 & 2). For more information
call the compost hotline at 408.777.1320.
On-Call “Yardwaste/Woodwaste Days”
Each home in Cupertino (with “can” garbage
service) is entitled to schedule two On-Call
Disposal Days in a calendar year. One or both of
the days can be designated Yardwaste/ Wood-
waste Days if a resident has an unusually large
amount of yardwaste or unpainted and untreated
woodwaste to dispose of. If specifically scheduled
as a Yardwaste/ Woodwaste Day, these organic
wastes will be hauled to a compost site, instead
of a landfill. Call the Los Altos Garbage Co. at
408.725-4020 for an appointment.
Copper in Brake Pads
Most brake pad material has a high percentage 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 com-
mercial 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.
Grasscycling
A reminder for gardeners: turf experts recom-
mend that grass clippings be left on the lawn to
return the nitrogen in the clippings (one of the
primary ingredients in fertilizer) back to the lawn.
This will reduce the amount of fertilizer needed
and mulch helps prevent water loss by evapora-
tion. Short clippings will fall into the lawn’s root
area and decompose quickly. For best results, use
a mulching mower. Follow the “1/3 rule”: a lawn
should be mowed so that no more than 1/3 of the
grass height is cut at any one mowing. This will
prevent an unsightly “hay-like” appearance. Mow
when the grass is dry to prevent clippings from
clumping in piles on the lawn. Thatch is caused by
grass roots and stems—not clippings.
This practice has been followed by Cupertino’s
Public Works Dept. in our city parks, with good
results, for many years.
Recycling Used Motor Oil
Homes can recycle up to two gallons of motor oil
at a time by leaving gallon bottles at the curb on
their recycle day.
For apartment and condominium residents who
do not have oil recycling at their complex, Jiffy
Lube at the corner of Miller Ave. and Stevens
Creek Blvd., ph: 408.253.8570, is a “State certi-
fied” oil collection center in Cupertino that
accepts used motor oil from the public for recycling.
his education elsewhere. The rest were suspended
and had to write extensive papers repenting the
error of their evil ways and on respecting authority.
No parents hired high-powered lawyers or threat-
ened to sue the principal, school administrators,
school board or anyone else in charge.
It’s always fun to hear from former high school
classmates about their recollections and experi-
ences growing up in Cupertino/Monta Vista. For
a complete reading of Ernie’s memories, they are
available at the Cupertino Museum.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the
first graduating class at Cupertino High School
- the class of 1961. There is a combined reunion
planned for the 1961 and 1962 classes on
September 29 at the Marriott Fremont but class-
mates from other years are welcome to attend.
For reunion information, email Alice Echverria
Fenning at LIZF@isflip.com.

A severe heat wave affects the community. A
power outage disrupts activities. Rumors about
pandemic flu are everywhere. Where do you go?
Who do you call? Where do you look when you
want to get the real story?
Cupertino website www.cupertino.org home
page has a link called “Emergency Informa-
tion”. The computer has a backup generator so
anyone with wireless Internet access and power
to their computer can get details. The Emergency
Information site will provide official informa-
tion about current City emergencies including
services available, road closures, volunteer needs,
donation needs and shelter locations.
In addition, during a disaster, if phones are work-
ing, a phone bank will be set up at City Hall. You
can call 408.777.CITY for information.
Of course, finding out what the City’s plans for
disasters are – before they happen – will allow
you a little more time to get ready. The
Cupertino Office of Emergency Services website
www.cupertino.org/emergency has a wealth of
information. The Community Emergency Training
Center is another valuable resource. It’s located
at Vallco Mall on the upper level near JC Penney.
The space was donated by Vallco for the purpose
of providing easy public access to preparedness
education and training. If you still can’t find what
you’re looking for, call 408.777.3335 and we’ll
get it for you.
But what if the disaster happens before you have
time to get ready? What if you call 9-1-1 and
they are so overwhelmed they don’t have any
help to send you? Or the phones don’t work?
And you don’t know what to do? City Commu-
nity Emergency Response Team, Medical Reserve
Corps and Ham Radio volunteers will help.
School Preparedness Meetings start in September.
Cupertino OES sponsors monthly meetings about
school preparedness. Any parent or teacher who
wants to help their school be better prepared can
attend. Meetings are the 4th Tuesday of the month
from 9:30-11 am at the Community Emergency
Training Center at Vallco Mall.
Can we prepare for a pandemic flu? Of course!
Wash your hands frequently. Cover your cough
with your arm, not your hand. Get a flu shot.
Stay home if you are sick. Because you will be
sick for 10-14 days, you won’t feel like going out
to buy cough and fever medication (not to men-
tion it may be sold out).
Be sure you keep a stock of your favorite rem-
edies on hand. Don’t forget that you’ll need to
stay hydrated. Have a good supply of electrolyte
fluid (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc) on hand. If you’re
responsible for feeding the family, you’ll want
to have extra food available for them. You won’t
feel like cooking! Together we prepare – together
we’ll get through anything! A list of flu prepared-
ness supplies - and basic preparedness supplies is
available on the Cupertino website. You can also
call OES for information.

Cupertino residents, think about what would you
do IF:
- another 7.1 earthquake hit the Bay Area
- you lost power for several days
- your elderly neighbors’ home was rocked off
its foundation
- you smell natural gas leaking throughout
your neighborhood
- your children were walking home from
school at the time
- you had no extra water or food for you and
your pets….
The list of potential disasters is long, and the
consequences could be terrible. However, with
just 3 hours of training, Cupertino residents can
learn about personal preparedness and be much
better equipped to help yourself, your family
and your neighbors. We often praise our Sheriff’s
Department and County Fire for being able to
respond and react in terrible situations – but dur-
ing any large scale disaster these agencies will be
overwhelmed and you will need to take personal
responsibility for your safety and wellbeing.
We hope that you’ll sign up for the Personal Pre-
paredness Workshop and/or CERT training, and
that you’ll develop a family plan for that untime-
ly disaster. We have a number of different free
class offerings for adults and youth, ranging from
3 hours to 18 hours. We have the best Amateur
Radio Response Team around. With training, you
can be the first responder, helping yourself, your
neighbors and the city of Cupertino.
To sign up or learn more contact the Cupertino
Office of Emergency Services at 408.777.3335,
or oes@cupertino.

Due to the increased number of accidents involv-
ing cyclists and cars, especially those involving
children, the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office
will be stepping up enforcement of vehicle codes
pertaining to bicycles.
Kids watch as adult cyclists set the example by:
• Not stopping at lights and stop signs.
• Riding two abreast on roads
• Not riding along the right side of the road.
This type of irresponsible riding gives kids the
impression that it is okay.
It is time for adult riders to set the example! Your
participation is greatly appreciated and required
by law (CVC 21200 (a)). The Sheriff’s Office
will be enforcing violations by cyclists in efforts
to increase awareness, educate the public, and
provide increased safety. Cyclists must obey all
Vehicle Code regulations.
WeST nIle vIRUS
West Nile Virus has been found in birds in the
Cupertino area. When dealing with West Nile
virus, prevention is your best bet. Fighting
mosquito bites reduces your risk of getting this
disease, along with others that mosquitoes can
carry. Take the commonsense steps below to
reduce your risk:
• Use “DEET” based mosquito repellant;
• Remove standing water from the places
where you work and play;
• Make sure the screens in your home are in
good repair.
• Report sources of mosquitoes in your neigh-
borhood.
The chance that any one person is going to be-
come ill from a single mosquito bite remains low.
The risk of severe illness and death is highest for
people over 50 years old, although people of all
ages can become ill. For more information about
the simple steps that you can take to protect your-
self, visit http://westnile.ca.gov/prevention.htm

During 2005 the City of Cupertino experienced
161 residential burglaries. Many of the suspects
entered through an unlocked window or door.
Many times the house had an alarm but was not
turned on. A large number of burglaries involved
taking gold jewelry from the master bedroom.
What can you do?
- Secure all doors and windows.
- Secure jewelry in a quality safe.
- If you have an alarm, use it.
- Report suspicious persons and/or activity, or
illegal solicitors in your neighborhood by
calling 911.
- Be an active member of Neighborhood Watch.

Trees ARE GOOD
Call Before You Cut…
Trees are invaluable assets that enhance our
community in a variety of different ways. From
providing much cherished shade on those lazy
summer afternoons to being a home for our
furry and feathered friends, trees are a significant
resource that should be cherished and preserved.
Did you know that the municipal code restricts
the removal of certain species of trees and trees
that were planted during the development of
property? These protected trees are designated to
be either specimen or heritage trees.
What is a Specimen tree? A specimen tree is a
tree that has been classified by either species or
special designation by the City Council to be
preserved for enhancement of a development.
Examples of specimen trees are Oaks, Cedars,
Big Leaf Maples, and the California Buckeye. All
are designated to be specimen trees if mature
enough to meet the minimum size standards. The
following table provides a guideline for minimum
size standards that qualify the tree as a specimen:
Species
Measure-
ment from
Natural
Grade
Single-
Trunk
Diameter/
Circumfer-
ence
Multi-
Trunk
Diameter/
Circumfer-
ence
Native Trees:
Oak trees 4-1/2’10” (31”)20” (63”)
California
Buckeye
4-1/2’10” (31”)20” (63”)
Big Leaf
Maple
4-1/2’12” (38”)25” (79”)
Non-native Trees:
Deodar
Cedar
4-1/2’12” (38”)25” (79”)
Blue Atlas
Cedar
4-1/2’12” (38”)25” (79”)
In addition to the trees listed above, other spe-
cies may also be considered specimen trees.
If a tree or trees were required to be planted
during the development of either commercial or
residential property as a condition of approval of
the project, they would be considered specimen
trees. For example, if in the development of a
commercial parcel, the City Council required the
developer to plant a row of Magnolia trees along
the street frontage, these trees are categorized as
specimen trees and may not be removed.
Are there other protected trees? Yes, heritage
trees are also protected from removal. A heri-
tage tree is a tree that has some historical or
unique value and significance to the community.
Examples of heritage trees are the towering
California Fan Palms on Palm Avenue and the
majestic Pepper Tree on Pepper Tree Lane. A list
of other heritage trees can be obtained from the
Planning Division.
Specimen and heritage trees cannot be removed
without a permit issued by the Planning Divi-
sion. A permit is not required to prune a speci-
men or heritage tree, but remember pruning
more than 25% annually of a protected tree
constitutes removal according to the municipal
code. Fines and penalties for removing heritage
or specimen trees are significant and all property
owners are responsible for knowing of any pro-
tected tree on their property. In some instances,
specimen or heritage trees must be removed due
to damage or disease. In this case, a tree removal
permit must be obtained from the Planning Divi-
sion prior to the tree being removed.
What do I do if I see a protected tree being
removed? If you see a tree being removed during
the week during normal business hours, please
call City Hall immediately at 408.777.3200.
