Cabrillo Elementary knows how to recycle!

ARTICLE AND PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY STOPWASTE.ORG

Students of Cabrillo Elementary recently completed a successful Ready Set Recycle Chal- lenge and reached their goal of allowing no more than 20 percent recyclables and composta- bles in trash bins by May 6. The final results of the challenge show a dramatic improvement from when the challenge kicked off on March 28. Before they started, recyclables and compostables made up an average of 80 percent of garbage bin contents. On the last day of the challenge, the garbage bin con- sisted of three percent recyclables, 17 percent compostables, and 80 percent landfill! Initially, students were producing 10 to 11, 32 gallon bags of landfill per day. Now, as students divert the vast majority of their waste, landfill from one day amounts to less than one bag. The Ready Set Recycle Contest, spearheaded by Cabrillo’s 6th grade student council, was aimed at reducing the amount of “good stuff” going to waste in the garbage bin at their school. Throughout the challenge, student volunteers performed weekly trash audits in Cabrillo’s lunchrooms to track the progress toward their goal. Students will be rewarded for meeting their goal. Rewards are funded by StopWaste.Org’s Ready Set Recycle initiative devel- oped to help Alameda County reach its goal of no more than 10 percent good stuff in the trash by 2020.

His essay follows: life. Due to the California Gold Rush, California’s population increased very quickly, from 1,000 to 20,000 from 1848 to 1850. Just like California, I grew very quickly in my first few years of life due to my growth spurts. Third, we both moved four times in our first four years. In the winter of 1850 and 1851, the first Capitol was established in San Jose. The legislature was dissatisfied with the location, so the Capitol was moved to Vallejo in 1853. The Capitol still didn’t meet the government’s needs, so it moved three miles away to Benicia. Although the government liked the new location, the area was too small for the growing state’s government to expand. So in 1854, the California Capitol was moved to Sacra- mento, where it still lives today. I was born in Fremont, and then transferred to another hospital in Palo Alto for two weeks, and then I was taken home. My parents realized that we needed a bigger house because my baby brother was coming, so we moved to a larger house just down the street in 2004. Fourth, California and I both love the theatre. California is world famous for Hollywood’s movie studios and celebrities. I love the theatre, and have been performing on stage since I was four years old. To this day, both California and I are thriving and healthy; and we treasure our birthday, September 9th.

Alameda County Board of Supervisors, and Scott Haggerty as an indi- vidual, have been sued by his former long-term (over 15 years) Chief of Staff, Chris Gray, for his wrongful and illegal termination of his employ- ment. The underlying claims submitted to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors were for over $10,000,000. The County routinely denied Mr. Gray’s as they deny all claims, and now face a lawsuit that has been sub- mitted to the Court for filing on Mr. Gray’s behalf in the Alameda County Superior Court on Friday, May 3, 2013. In summary, Mr. Gray was terminated based on the fact that he had taken medical leave from work, and his refusal to participate in Mr. Haggerty’s ongoing 15 years of abuse and misuse of public funds, taking illegal loans, receiving illegal payments from the County, triple billing his car allowance expenses, and even being so belligerent as to demand early payment of his salary from County staff and receiving the same. Mr. Gray has over 15 years of hard cold facts which will clearly re- veal the calculated and cunning self-serving nature of Mr. Haggerty’s ongoing illegal activities.

Hayward named Tree City USA SUBMITTED BY THOMAS ROSSI, SR.

Hayward has been named a 2012 Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foun- dation in honor of its commitment to effective urban forest management. This is the 27th year Hayward has earned the national designation. The City achieved Tree City USA recognition by meeting the program’s four requirements: a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, an an- nual community forestry budget of at least $2 per capita and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. Hayward will celebrate Arbor Day on May 30, 2013, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Treeview Elementary School. “The Mayor and City Council are deeply committed to increasing Hay- ward’s urban forest density. Last year alone, the City of Hayward planted 350 new trees with plans for 450 more in FY 2014,” stated Matt McGrath, Main- tenance Services Director. According to Alex Ameri, Director of Environment and Utilities, Hayward looks to its urban forest as a major part of improving the quality of life in local neighborhoods and helping to achieve the ambitious goals in the City’s Climate Action Plan. “Everyone benefits when elected officials, volunteers and committed citizens in communities like Hayward make smart investments in urban forests,” said John Rosenow, founder and chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation.

Obituary Clyde H. Pearson In Memorium As far as I am aware, my father, Felipe “Phil” Galvan, is the first Clyde H. Pearson, a Purple Heart recipient, passed USA Veteran (Army, WWII) to be buried at The Ohlones Indian from this earth suddenly, but peacefully, on December Cemetery in Fremont. 18, 2012. He was 65 years old. Clyde was a true fighter and veteran, with a heart of gold. May he rest in Peace... A memorial service will be held in Clyde’s honor at the Veterans Memorial Building in Niles on Saturday, Andy Galvan June 8, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. Fremont Clyde's death is preceded by his father, Milton, his mother, Clara, his sister, Ruth, and his brother, Van. Clyde is survived by his sister, Elaine, four nieces, one nephew and their families. Clyde is also survived by his brother-in-law, Everett, and three nephews-in-law, many cousins, and many, many friends. Clyde graduated from Newark High School in 1967. Following graduation, he and his brother joined the U.S. Army. Clyde was a very proud Viet- nam War vet. He retired from the U.S. Army in No- vember 1969, after receiving severe injuries on February 26, 1969 in Cu Chi, Vietnam. Sadly, his brother, Van, was killed in the same incident. In the years following Clyde’s recovery from his in- juries, he gave his life to veterans. Clyde held the po- sition of secretary of the Niles Veterans Memorial Building. He also held many positions with several veterans organizations. Clyde was a lifetime member of the American Legion, Military Order of the Purple Heart, VFW, DAV, and the Vietnam Veterans of America. Clyde was also a member of AMVETS, VAVS and 40/8, La Societe des Quarante Hommes at Huit Chevaux. For nearly 35 years, Clyde was a very hard working VA volunteer at the medical facilities in Liver- more, Palo Alto, and Menlo Park, California, and Des Moines, Iowa. Clyde also assisted in many functions held for the residents at the Veterans Home in Yountville and Marshalltown, Iowa. Words cannot express how deeply Clyde is missed by his family and friends. Rest in peace Clyde. We love you. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.

Three months later, in June 2011, the Califor- nia State Legislature dissolved all Redevelopment Agencies. In June of 2012, fifteen months after funds were legally transferred to the Milpi- tas Economic Development Corporation, the Legislature adopted laws that attempted to invalidate the transfer of those funds, even though Honda encourages those transfers were valid when made. The State Legislature passed those retroactive provisions in order to seize as much money as possible to cure a budget shortfall created by Hepatitis testing, plans its own mismanagement. The State has done this before, using local government assets as an emergency reserve fund when it cannot meet its own financial obligations. The State arrogantly assumes its own legislative push needs are more important than that of local government, but Milpitas’ use of the disputed funds would definitely be for local projects benefit- ing Milpitas and its citizens, such as for Milpitas parks, schools and af- fordable housing, whereas in the hands of the State, the funds will SUBMITTED BY ANTHONY KUSICH likely be scattered to the winds.
