It’s All In the Bag, Bring Your Own
Earth Day is coming April 22 and what better day to think
about saving the earth all year round. Want to make a
difference? Bring your own bag to the grocery store. It’s a

first 400 Cupertino residents (one bag per customer) begin-

In an effort to help rid households of mercury
thermometers, the City of Cupertino is hosting
a thermometer exchange on Saturday, April 29
from 9 a.m. to noon at the Cupertino Library
Plaza on Torre Avenue. Drop off your mercury
thermometer in a sealed plastic bag, and in ex-
change, receive a safer digital thermometer free.
Mercury thermometers should never be thrown

mercury thermometers will be disposed of as
hazardous waste. The first 100 customers will
receive a free cloth grocery bag. For more
information, visit the City’s website at
www.cupertino.org or call (408) 777-3354.

SPECIAL WASTES
A new law is now in effect in California, which
prohibits certain residential waste from being
placed in the trash for disposal. The intent of
the law is to protect the environment from
hazardous products containing heavy metals
such as mercury, copper, chromium and lead.
These special wastes, called Universal Waste in
the regulations, include electronic waste (e.g.
computers, computer peripherals, telephones,
cell phones, microwave ovens, VCRs), fluorescent
tubes, compact fluorescent tubes, thermostats,
and batteries. Remember, most Cupertino resi-
dents can recycle household batteries by sealing
them in a clear plastic bag and setting them on
top of the blue recycling cart on collection days.
Cupertino residents can drop-off other wastes at
the following locations:
• Electronic waste: Apple Computer’s facility at
10300 Bubb Road, Monday, Wednesday and
Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (408) 862-2667
(recorded message).

PEST MANAGEMENT
Spring is here, and that means it’s time to start
gardening. It also means you’ll want to pay par-
ticular attention to controlling your home and
garden pests. The Our Water – Our World website
(http://www.ourwaterourworld.org/owow.cfm)
has been developed to assist consumers in
managing home and garden pests in a way that
helps protect the environment. Among other
things, this site offers:
• Assorted fact sheets on specific pests and
methods to manage them without using
hazardous materials.
• Information on where to buy safer alterna-
tives to pesticides, including fungicides and
herbicides.
• A list of some products that are considered
safer alternatives to more conventional
pesticides.
• A list of products, sorted by the pest it targets.
• An “Ask the Expert” feature that allows
you to ask a specific question and receive a
personal reply
Check out the website and enjoy an environ-
mentally friendly gardening experience.

A THANK YOU TO THE VARIAN FAMILY
The hills are turning green. The daffodils and
tulips are dancing in the breeze. Wildflowers
in the hills and along creeks. Easter memories
– sunrise services to celebrate the resurrection
of Christ – walking up the hills in the near dark
to the appointed place, waiting for the sun to
rise, signifying the day of hope, singing the old
familiar hymns. Family gatherings after church
and dozens of cousins, hunting eggs. One year
an uncle thought it would be a kick to hide eggs
up on Table Mt. up Stevens Canyon Road. Not a
good idea. Too muddy. One egg came out of its
hiding place with a banana slug attached. Eeek!
We owe a debt of gratitude to the people who
had the foresight to preserve so much wonderful
open space (including banana slugs) for later
generations to enjoy. One family who worked
hard to preserve open space and wilderness, not
only in our area, but in other areas of California as
well, was the Varian family. Many will recognize
the name because of the company that has con-
tributed much to the history of the technology
era, economy and business culture of our area.
Russell Varian (1898-1959) and his wife Dorothy
shared a preservation vision of a state park for
the Castle Rock wilderness area. Thousands
enjoy that scenic spot today, hiking trails and
climbing the huge rocks with holes like swiss
cheese and the creeks and waterfalls. Varian
descendants also have a very large property
that is partially open to the public in the Paso
Robles/Parkfield area. For those of you unfamiliar
with tiny Parkfield, it is known as the Earth-
quake Capital of the World (self-proclaimed)
and the USGS has monitoring equipment there
that measure tremors constantly. It is worth a
trip down to that area to see the spring wild-
flowers in the Cholame Valley, visit Parkfield
and hike the hills.
Russell was an active member of the Sierra Club
and loved the wilderness. He once wrote, “I have
frequently tried to understand and define my
own reaction to wilderness, with the result that
I am more than ever convinced that without
contact with wilderness, I would be a different
person. Wilderness for an adult is a place of
inspiration, for reverence and for quiet examina-
tion of himself and his world; a sanctuary into
which to retire from an over-civilized world; a
place to gain strength for the next phase of his
struggles.”
Now that winter is past and we are all ready
to tackle spring projects, take some time to get
out into the hills and the wilderness, and savor
the different shades of green, the myriad spring
flowers and grasses and listen to the quiet. ‘Tis
good for the soul. The Varians - Russel and his
brother, Sigurd (1901-1961) were two of the
foremost innovators in the early days of high
tech, yet they always appreciated the need for
the things and places in nature that gave per-
spective to the man-made things in the world.

“CHANGE IS GOOD”
by Eric Klein, Jr.
Ten years ago Cupertino residents enjoyed cell
phones the size of small bricks, analog cable with
that wondrous A/B switch, and dialup Internet
access. Today, over ninety percent of Cupertino
residents have Internet access and greater than
fifty percent enjoy broadband Internet connec-
tions from providers like Comcast, AT&T, MetroFi,
and Sprint. Cell phones are everywhere, and
new technologies like VoIP, IPTV, and WiMax
could fundamentally change the way we interact
with our phones, TVs, and computers. Other
than being technology buzzwords, what do these
technologies mean for Cupertino residents and
businesses?
TICC (Cupertino’s Technology, Information, and
Communications Commission) will explore this
topic in a series of Scene articles over the next
four months. Instead of focusing on technology,
we’re going to examine how these technologies
become solutions that significantly improve
communication between our local government
and its constituents. Loosely called “e-services”,
these solutions could allow residents to fill out
city forms online, receive city notices on planning
commission events or infrastructure changes via
email, and deliver your opinions directly to city
leaders and council members via webcasts and
instant electronic surveys. Many residents already
use email mailing lists to quickly communicate
with each other on neighborhood issues. e-services
just expand the opportunity
to the citywide level.
While exploring the potential of e-services to
augment our existing city services, we’ll also
examine information security and privacy in
this new era of ubiquitous connectivity. How
do you protect computer’s personal information
when you are instant messaging the mayor from
the local Starbuck’s over a wireless network?
We’ll offer some suggestions and references that
will help you stay safe while enjoying your new
Internet connections and services.
In June, the TICC Commission will host a
community forum on these topics the Cupertino
Community Hall. Guest speakers from service
providers and the industry will join Cupertino
city officials in discussing the potential of
e-services, and most importantly, learn more
about what you as residents want from an
“e-services” initiative.
The past decade has brought great change to
Cupertino’s communication “channels”, and
we hope this series helps you, the residents and
businesses of Cupertino, learn how to put those
new channels to even better use interacting with
each other and our local government.

SECOND ANNUAL BIKE & WALK TO SCHOOL
DAY IS APRIL 5TH
Staff, parents, city commissioners, students, and
other volunteers have been diligently working to
plan Monta Vista High School’s second annual
Bike & Walk To School Day for Wednesday, April
5th. Last year’s event was a great success, with at
least 1/3 of the student body participating. The
event was proposed because of much concern
over traffic congestion, pollution, and lack of
student-powered transport (walking and bik-
ing) to and from school. The event positively
promotes eco-friendly means of transportation to
and from school, in the hopes that students will
consider these means of transport more often.
This year, it is hoped that over _ of the school
will participate. The event will run from about
8:30am to 9:20am on April 5th (a late-start
Wednesday). Students who ride the bus, walk,
or bike to school will be able to collect raffle
tickets as they approach campus. Once at
campus, they can redeem their tickets for snacks
and enter the tickets into raffles for other prizes.
Last year, Starbucks, Noah’s Bagels, Baskin
Robbins, and Jamba Juice provided some of the
Cupertino Scene | Volume 4, #7 | April 006 p. p. 0 Cupertino Scene | Volume 4, #7 | April 006
food and prizes. Sheriffs from the Cupertino
substation also assisted on the day of the event.
Student clubs involved in this year’s event in-
clude Octagon, Endangered Species Awareness,
and Earthriders. Monta Vista High’s PTA and
Cupertino City Commissioners also have a large
role in planning and implementation. Monta
Vista students, come and join the fun!
BIKE RODEO
Join members of the De Anza Optimist Club as
they hold a Free Bike Rodeo Saturday Morning
May 6th, 2006. The event is scheduled from
9:00 - 11:30 AM, in the parking lot of the
Cupertino Quinlan Center, located at 10185
N. Stelling. A Helmet and Bike are required to
participate. The rodeo starts with registration
and proper fitting of the bike helmet along
with a quick safety inspection of the bike. Each
participant goes through three different sets of
bike riding activities. One set focuses on Bike
Safety and the Rules of the Road. A second set
features bike handling skills. This includes profi-
ciency through a maze, riding accurately within
a marked circle, and staying on the straight and
narrow of the “plank ride.” A third set focuses
on bike racing, including the ever-challenging
“Slow Spoke” bike race.
For further information, contact Dean Skeels
at 252-3336. The De Anza Optimist Club is
affiliated with Optimist International. Our
motto is “Friend of Youth.”

ment, state government and voting. In addition,

FRIENDLY VISITOR VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The Cupertino Senior Center is restarting the

ing for mature and dependable volunteers who
would like to donate their time to visit a special
friend in the community. Friendly Visitor will be
assigned to one client with whom they will visit
about once a week to provide socialization and
stimulation. Visitors may want to play games,
write letters, look through picture books, have
lunch, or just chat with their assigned client.
All the clients are from the Cupertino Senior
Center Case Management Program who are frail
elders living independently in their own homes.
Volunteers will benefit by knowing that they are
important parts of a plan to help clients delay
or avoid institutionalization and by befriending
special people with vast life experiences and
interests to share. All clients live in Cupertino
or West San Jose. All volunteers must be able to
participate in three initial training sessions, and
monthly consultation sessions with other fellow
Friendly Visitors thereafter.
If you are interested of joining us for this
rewarding opportunity and making a differ-
ence in these frail elders’ lives by becoming
a Friendly Visitor, please contact Karen Goss,
Case Manager, at (408) 777-3155.
