  • Leading the Way a PHILOSOPHY - in PROGRESS
    1 “The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.” —Plato 2 Leading the Way A PHILOSOPHY - IN PROGRESS [ INTRODUCTION \ he doors of our first school opened in 1968 because of the desire to experience firsthand Tthe marvelous thrills and excitement in the world of children. When we began, we had no idea of how our programs would evolve. Our intention was to meet the growing needs of families by integrating daycare and preschool into one program, something that seemed a bit radical back then. Today, with 10 locations and 19 programs, we are the only organization in Northern California providing private education and daycare for children from six weeks to 12 years of age. Of interest to us as founders is the tremendous amount of learning that goes on each year in young children. It has always been exciting for John and I to see all the important loving and guiding experiences of infancy incorporated into the children’s development. We believe we have an opportunity to influence much of what will happen to children as they go through elementary school, junior high school and on into adult life. It also is a real challenge to our staff to provide an environment that will encourage maximum development for children, as positive experiences during the early years lead to much greater success in the future. Through the years, we have faced many challenges. In the beginning, just getting the first school ready to open was quite an endeavor. Inspired by our vision of creating a unique and nurturing place for learning, we rolled up our sleeves and did whatever we could ourselves, disregarding the fact that we had no prior experience in many of the tasks we were about to undertake.

As office holders and social lobbyists, these women directly transformed the political and social fabric of society. Some of these women played a key role as the first recognized political figures in the region, while others worked to document and write about the female experience and built academic programs around feminism and women’s history. Others worked as activists and lobbyists for a variety of causes including the Equal Rights Amendment, the environment, women’s legal rights, and pay equity.

  • Argument Against Measure C
    ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE C Don't be fooled by the misleading description of Measure C. San Jose already allows medical marijuana and has 16 legal dispensaries. In fact, Measure C will repeal controls that protect our neighborhoods and children from the negative impacts of marijuana sales. Measure C would allow dispensaries to open up next to a day care center, a church or a residence. Currently, medical marijuana dispensaries.are prohibited from locating within 150- feet of residences and churches and 1,000 feet from schools, parks, and libraries. This is a good law and should not be changed. Measure C would reduce penalties for selling marijuana to children from thousands of dollars to a $100, slap-on-the-wrist fine. Selling cigarettes or alcohol to a child carries at least a $1000 penalty. A $100 penalty would allow dispensaries to sell marijuana to children with no serious consequences. Measure C would eliminate all guidelines for how marijuana is grown or obtained by the dispensaries. As a result, marijuana grown by drug cartels could be sold in San Jose, as well as marijuana produced in illegal grow-houses, or marijuana manufactured with harmful chemicals. There are 16 marijuana dispensaries in San Jose. Measure C has NO LIMITS on the number of dispensaries that will be allowed to open in San Jose. As a result, we might end up with hundreds of dispensaries throughout the City, making it easy for our children to get marijuana. I Responsible medical marijuana dispensary operators say that Measure C is a trick to eliminate reasonable regulations so that bad operators will be free to sell marijuana to anyone, anytim·e, anywhere.

  • Captain Thomas Fallon of Santa Cruz, San Jose, and San Francisco '
    CAPTAIN THOMAS FALLON OF SANTA CRUZ, SAN JOSE, AND SAN FRANCISCO ' a summary of research conducted by Joseph A. King to date, for presentation to the History Aits Advisory Committee of the City of San Jose, California, at a meeting at City Hall on Monday, August 27,1990 by Joseph A. King © copyright 1990 by Joseph A. King, 1161 Nogales St., Lafayette, California 94549. All rights reserved. No pari of this paper may be reproduced except by journalists and reviewers who might want to quote brief passages in a magazine or newspaper. 1 PREFACE Two years ago I had never heard of Captain Thomas Fallon. It was while doing research for a chapter in a book about Irish immigration to Canada and America that I first came across his name. While working on the California chapter, I found that no less than three different "Captain" Fallons had been credited by one source or another with having led a rescue mission to the unfortunate Donner Party, who had experienced terrible tragedy in the snows of the High Sierras during the winter of 1846-47. In attempting to sort out the three historical Captain Fallons, I came across California Cavalier: The Journal of Captain Thomas Fallon, an attractive book by Tom McEnery. It is a fictionalized biography, but it seemed evident that the author had done considerable historical research. There are many footnotes pointing to exact sources of information and, although the author notes that "the Journal is a work of fiction" (Captain Fallon did not actually keep a journal), he also says that it is "as firmly based on an exploration of Thomas Fallon’s life and personal letters as possible." Nevertheless, I had questions about some of the adventures involving historical events that McEnery had credited to Captain Thomas Fallon.
