Cupertino Paperless Plans
Cupertino Community Development, Building Division is “taking
the paper out of the plan” beginning this summer. This move
eliminates the need for architects,
contractors, or designers to haul
large rolls of paper plans to City
Hall, as they will be able to submit
the plans for review online through
a web application.
This new service allows all relevant
people to review plans simultaneously. Architects, contractors and
engineers will be able to access
submitted plans, comment and act
on them through a passwordprotected web-based system. In
February 2012, Council unanimously
voted to propel Cupertino into the
21st century and supported the
eight month research process that
led the City to conclude that
paperless was the way to go.
Benefits of paperless building plans
include: the ability for various offices
to work on the plans simultaneously,
ability to track and see plans as
they move through the approval
process and transparency in the
process of building plan review.

b y J e r r y Ta l l i n g e r – C u p e r t i n o C E R T m e m b e r
Enjoy the Heat but Keep Your Cool!
This summer it’s bound to get hot and with
heat comes the danger of heat exhaustion. If
untreated it could become heat stroke which
is life threatening. When outdoors (or indoors
without air conditioning) in the hot weather,
you should know the warning signs and be prepared to avoid heat exhaustion. Heat exhaustion
is brought on when the body’s natural sweating cannot cool the body down enough and this
causes overheating. The signs and symptoms are
pale moist skin cool to the touch, profuse sweating, muscle cramps, feeling faint or dizzy, headache, overall weakness, thirst, nausea or vomiting, core body temperature over 100° F, and
increased pulse rate. Some people may have
any or all of the signs and symptoms above,
depending on the person and severity of the
heat exhaustion. The treatment is to cool down
the body by going into the shade or air conditioning, drinking water or commercial electrolyte
drink, and stop all strenuous activity.
Here are some tips to keep you and others safe:
• Plan ahead when going hiking, picnicking, to
the beach or sporting events, even if you are
just an observer. Bring and drink lots of water
or electrolyte drink. There are lots of recipes
on the web for make your own sports drinks or
you can buy the commercial ones.
• Don’t forget your pets! They need to drink
plenty of water on hot days too.
• Check the weather report and plan activities
on extremely hot days early in the morning or
later at night when it is cooler.
• The young and elderly are more at risk, so
check on them frequently during periods of
extreme heat. Bring an older neighbor a cold
glass of lemonade!
• Avoid alcohol or caffeine drinks during heat
spells as they increase water loss.
• Wear light colors and loose fitting clothing
when it is really hot and going out for extended periods. Bring along a water mister or fan.
There are some great battery operated ones
out there. Check the sporting goods stores to
purchase one.
• Break up exposure to extreme heat with stops
in shady areas or air-conditioned places. I am
always up for a stop for ice cream or iced tea!
• Be aware of the signs and symptoms of heat
exhaustion and don’t be shy about pointing it
out to someone who you feel may be experiencing heat exhaustion, no matter how mild.
Summer Camping and
Hiking ‘Bite’ Safety
In addition to bringing plenty of
water with you to prevent heat
exhaustion, beware of the snakes
and ticks. Like in the ‘Old West’
movies, Northern California parks
and wilderness trails also have
a danger of running into rattlesnakes, the most common venomous snake in California. Avoid walking where you
cannot see the ground in front of you and if you
see a rattlesnake give it a wide berth. If you do
get bit, seek help immediately. Stealthier pest in
the wild is the tick. With some ticks you run the
risk of contracting Lyme disease. If you are bitten by a tick, gently grasp the tick with tweezers
close to the skin and pull the tick out slowly. If
you don’t have tweezers, use your fingers protected with a tissue or rag. Remove any mouth
parts left behind, wash with soap and water, and
apply a mild antiseptic. If the tick has been feeding for a day or so, save the removed tick alive or
in alcohol in case it needs to be tested for Lyme
disease later. Most people who have contracted Lyme disease become ill within one to two
weeks after being bitten. Seek medical attention
if you think this has happened to you.

Clara County Fire Department on preparedness
and helping others during a disaster. You must be

Simply Safe, continued on page 5
If you do only 1 thing to prepare this month:
Purchase an insulated water bottle or an insulated cover for a 12 oz water bottle. Then you will be able
to bring it with you whenever you go out in the extreme heat. Try freezing the 12 oz plastic water bottles
first and you can sip cold water for most of the day. Use the frozen bottles instead of ice in your coolers
for picnics or camping. Once most of the ice in the bottles melts you have ice cold water to drink.

roots | A Tribute to Patriotic Music
b y
G a i l
F r e t w e l l - H u g g e r
Every country and culture has music that
celebrates its’ history in melody and verse. Part
of being a national people is the bonding that
occurs between generations in learning and
singing songs that help one and all remember
and cherish the freedoms that have been so
hard-won over centuries.
Francis Scott Key’s “Star Spangled Banner” was
based on a poem and set to music after he was
detained on British ship during the bombardment
of Fort McHenry. In the morning, he saw the tattered Stars and Stripes still flying over the fort and
was so moved that he penned the verses to our
national anthem when he was allowed to come
ashore. Another of the great American patriotic
songs that was written that same year (1831) is
“My Country ‘tis of Thee”, written by Samuel F.
Smith from Andover Theological Seminary. He
wrote the lyrics in 30 minutes. The music comes
from the national anthem of the UK, “God Save
the Queen”. It was first performed in public at a
children’s Independence Day celebration at Park
Street Church in Boston and the hymn was published in 1832. It rivaled the “Star Spangled Banner” as the choice was debated over the years as
to which song should be our national anthem and
it is still widely used in public celebrations.
A catchy little tune that has lasted since before
the Revolutionary War is “Yankee Doodle”. The
song was originally sung by British troops, ridiculing the disorganized, rag-tag colonial fighters
– the “Yankees”. There are many verses to the
song and several explanations as to its’ origin.
One story says that the tune comes from a nursery rhyme, “Lucy Locket”. For a more thorough
explanation of the rhyme and song, check Wiki-
pedia. It has always been a children’s favorite because it is easy to sing – both words and melody.
All the branches of the military have their own
signature patriotic songs – from the Revolutionary
War, Civil War, 2 World Wars through the Vietnam
War’s “Ballad of the Green Beret”. Many of our
states have patriotic state songs or songs that
celebrate historic events. The state of Kansas
has “Home on the Range” as their state song,
which is known as an anthem of the great
American West.
The following is a list of the 10 most popular and
widely sung patriotic songs.
1. Star Spangled Banner
2. My Country ‘Tis of Thee
3. God Bless America
4. America the Beautiful
5. Yankee Doodle Dandy
6. You’re a Grand Old Flag
7. When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again
8. Battle Hymn of the Republic
9. This Land is Your Land
I left #10 open. It varies depending on what list
you are looking at or a song that really speaks to
your heart, so pick your own favorite for #10.
Let’s all remember and thank those who
have served the cause of freedom and liberty
well throughout our history as we celebrate
July 4th, 2013.

Important Update Regarding
Cupertino Library Services
There is an important issue facing the Cupertino
Library. Special taxpayer funding for the Cupertino Library has been in place for the past 20 years
and helps maintain library hours and services,
buy needed books and up-to-date research
materials, and maintain children’s reading programs. However, this funding is due to expire.
Continuing this funding at existing rates will help
maintain and protect these important library
services, with no increase in taxes.
The special mail ballot election will be held
this summer. Mail ballots will be sent out at the
end of July and be returned by August 27, 2013.
Please contact Mark Fink, Cupertino Community
Librarian, with questions regarding this
special tax measure at 408.446.1677 ext. 3300

Eight Easy Tips for Preventing Waste
We Are All In This Together! Because overwatering and rain water may carry pollutants into
local creeks from everyday activities like cooking,
gardening, maintaining your car, and even cleaning
your garage and medicine cabinet, it’s important
to prevent pollution at the source. Follow these
tips to protect water quality every day.
• Reduce Use of Toxic Pesticides and Landscape Chemicals. Use pesticides and weed
killers only when absolutely necessary and
choose the least toxic product available. Do
not apply chemicals to impervious ground
surfaces, or if rain is forecast, or when you are
watering, because the run-off may contaminate
local creeks, the Bay and the ocean. Visit
www.mywatershedwatch.org for tips on safe
10
and effective less toxic pest control options.
• Properly Dispose of Household Hazardous
Waste. Contact Waste Management (WM)
At-Your-Door service to collect your household hazardous waste. An appointment
for collection can be made at www.
wmatyourdoor.com or by calling 800.449.7587.
• Don’t Flush Unwanted Medication. Some
pharmaceutical chemicals persist through the
wastewater treatment process and will end up
in the Bay, where they may harm aquatic life.
You may dispose of your medications at the
West Valley Patrol Sub-Station, 1601 S.
De Anza Blvd, Cupertino 408.868.6600.
• Prevent Fats, Oil and Grease from Going
Down the Drain. Keep your pipes clog-free by
collecting fats, oil and grease in one-gallon plastic containers with tight fitting, screw top lids. (Milk
and water jugs with pop-on lids are acceptable.)
Lids must be taped securely! You may place up
to two one-gallon containers next to your recycling bin on your recycling collection day.
• Don’t be a Litter Bug. Litter harms local
wildlife and aquatic animals. Dispose of trash
properly and recycle plastic bags in your
recycling cart or at major grocery stores.
• Help Cupertino Shop Green! Take reusable
bags shopping. Cupertino’s Bag Ordinance
goes into effect October 1, 2013. This ordinance
will help reduce unnecessary waste and litter
that is harmful to Cupertino’s creeks, the Bay,
and the ocean.
• Wash your vehicle at a commercial car wash.
Washing your car on your driveway or the street
sends dirty water, soap, heavy metals, oil and
grease into the gutter which eventually flows to
local creeks and the Bay. Instead, visit a car wash,
where the drains lead to the wastewater treatment plant. A Watershed Watch Discount Card
is available at www.mywatershedwatch.org.
• Compost food waste and use it as nutrient
rich soil for your garden & recycle!
