STARTING in January 2014 - Recology San Bruno will be increasing what can be placed in your GREEN Yard Waste Container.  QUESTIONS:  583-8536

Don't send your food scraps and landscape material to the landfill; compost them instead! Other than being the environmentally friendly thing to do, most residents who participate in the compost collection program see a significant decrease in their garbage. So put your food scraps in the Compost cart instead of the Garbage cart, and help us all achieve Waste Zero!We accept all food scraps, soiled paper and yard trimmings in the green cart.

Composting is a highly effective way to help protect the environment, and Recology San Bruno is proud to offer a home composting collection service to select customers. More than six million tons of food products are dumped in California every year. Food is the largest single source of waste in California, making up 15.5 percent of the waste stream.That waste decomposes and creates methane gas, which is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide and is directly attributed to climate change. Composting is nature's way of recycling organic waste into a new soil amendment rich in nutrients that can be used for organic farming, vineyards and highway erosion and control projects.

 Composting Tips

Try any of the following to help reduce the "Ick Factor":

·        Place paper towels or newspaper at the bottom of your kitchen pail to soak up any liquids from your food.

·        Line your kitchen pail with bags (any disposabale kind). Just be sure to empty the food scraps out of the bags when placing into your green cart.

·        Wrap your food scraps in newspaper or a cardboard milk carton before placing into your kitchen pail.

·        Try refrigerating or freezing your food scraps in a ziplock or other plastic bag and empty the bag into your green cart the night before your service day. This will stop the decomposition of the food and will reduce or stop the smell of rotten food. Remember, you can reuse the bag multiple times!

Try any of the following to keep raccoons at bay:

·        You can repel raccoons with cayenne pepper, which is found at just about any grocery store. Raccoons have a highly sensitive sense of smell and strongly dislike the scent - they will usually avoid it as much as possible. Sprinkle ground cayenne pepper on top of or around your cart.

·        You can also make a homemade liquid repellent. Boil a quart of water, 1/3 cup of cayenne pepper, and a diced jalapeno pepper for about 20 minutes. Cool and strain, then pour the mixture into an empty spray bottle and spray around your cart.

·        Commercial organic raccoon repellent products are available for purchase at some pet stores and online. Sprinkle the granules around your carts to keep them away.

·        Sprinkle the top of your carts with baby powder, or even sand. Raccoons don't like the feel of powder or sand on their paws and might avoid the area if they detect any around.

·        Large, heavy rocks can be placed on top of your green cart to help weigh it down so it cannot be knocked over as easily. To avoid damage to surrounding vehicles or animals, please remove the rock before your cart is serviced.

·        You can also use bungie cords to keep the lid from opening if the cart is knocked over however we ask that you remove the bungie cord by 6am the morning of your service day.

·        Try using motion sensors that activate lights to scare them off.

Raccoons are intelligent animals. If they're unsuccessful at the first attempts to get food at a particular location, they will most likely stay away and look for other sources. Remember to please be careful with raccoons. They can be dangerous if provoked and often carry diseases. Never approach one for any reason. Harming or trapping a raccoon is both illegal and dangerous.

San Bruno Swears In Mayor, Council Members, Treasurer, & City Clerk

Tuesday Night December 3rd 2013 at the Special San Bruno City Council meeting the following was the agenda:

Adopt Resolution Certifying the Results of the November 5, 2013 General Municipal Election.

Administer Oath of Office and Present Certificates of Election to Re-elected Officials.

Select a Vice Mayor to Serve a One-Year Term and Approve Annual Reorganization of the City Council.

Followed by a cake and coffee reception.

City Manager Connie Jackson opened the meeting by leading the Pledge of Allegiance.

City Clerk Carol Bonner, who had served as the City’s Election Officer, reported on the final election results received from the County the previous night which showed:

Mayor Jim Ruane was re-elected for a two year term

City Treasurer John Marty was re-elected for a four year term

City Clerk Carol Bonner was re-elected for a four year term

Councilman Rico E. Medina was re-elected for a four year term and

Councilman Ken Ibarra was re-elected for a four year term.

The Council adopted the resolution Certifying the Results of the November 5, 2013 General Municipal Election.

Mayor Jim Ruane administered the oath of office to re-elected City Clerk Carol Bonner.

After the administration of her oath, City Clerk Carol Bonner administered the oaths of office to the remaining four re-elected City Officials.

Each official thanked his or her family, friends, and supporters and the Mayor and two councilmen additionally talked about how they proposed to work for the citizens of San Bruno in the coming months.

City Clerk Carol Bonner reminded those in attendance that the process of selecting a Councilmember to serve as our Vice Mayor for 2014 needed to follow the procedure of selecting the Councilmember who had not served as Vice Mayor for the longest number of years.  All four current Council members had served as Vice Mayor and Rico E. Medina had not served as Vice Mayor for the longest period of time, so the motion was made, seconded, and passed unanimously that Rico E. Medina be selected as San Bruno’s Vice Mayor for 2014.

Below are the presentations by Councilman Ken Ibarra, Councilman Rico E. Medina, and Mayor Jim Ruane.

Attached are photos of the five officials being sworn in.

There was a LARGE turnout of family, friends, and residents for the swearing in and it is hoped that many will GOTO

late the Fridays before the 2nd and 4th Tuesday’s Council meetings to download the meeting agenda including pages of staff reports to better inform themselves on what will be happening at the upcoming meeting and to allow them when they attend the meeting to better interact with the Council and City staff and work together to make San Bruno just a little better after each council meeting.

Re-Elected Mayor Ruane’s acceptance speech:

Good evening and welcome:

My very first comments this evening will be to introduce my family. They have been by my side supporting me and in turn all of you as I took over as your Mayor four years ago. My son Jim and his wife Monica and my three grandsons Gavin, Patrick and Brendan who were all born during my last eighteen years on this Council. My daughter Stephanie and her husband Dan who have always supported me and both of whom grew up in San Bruno.

And of course my wife and best friend Noreen, my advisor, confidant and sounding board for so many issues, city and otherwise.

I want to give my heartfelt thanks to our City Manager Connie Jackson and her staff and to all of the employees of the City of San Bruno. Also to my City Council and our City Clerk Carol and Treasurer John. You have all been remarkable during a nationwide economic slowdown that tested us all.

And to the people of San Bruno, I thank you for your continued trust in me. It is difficult to put into words the respect I have for you.

We have accomplished much over the last few years and now that the economy seems to be turning around it looks like we will finally have the resources to complete some of the things that have been on our back burner.

We have serious interest in the old theatre site on San Mateo Avenue, a ribbon to cut on the new Caltrain grade separation and station after the first of the year and a hotel developer on board for one of the last pieces of buildable land in our city, and we are collaborating with other cities on much needed consolidation of services. We finally get to enjoy some very positive events, not the least of which is our Centennial. In 2014 San Bruno will celebrate its 100th birthday and we have many exciting events planned, the first of which will be our soft kickoff this Thursday as part of our tree lighting in San Bruno Park. I encourage all to attend.

Then of course there’s Glenview and our recovery and rebuilding efforts. We are well on our way and my hope is that by the middle of next year we will finally be completely rebuilt. People have often asked me....”did you ever think when you were elected Mayor”.…I tell them that you never know what you will be dealt and as I often tell the City Manager…every day is a new adventure.

The tragedy has taken me to Washington D.C., Denver, New Orleans, Las Vegas, New York and Sacramento as well as many other speaking engagements throughout the Bay

Area and it’s not over yet. It is our legacy to make sure this never happens again anywhere.

I could go on but in the interest of time and after promising my grandsons some cookies and cake I just want to once again thank all of you for your confidence in me. I have worked very hard and will continue to do so.

Thank You…..

Mayor Ruane

Senator Jerry Hill to Introduce Legislation Phasing-Out Antibiotics in Farm Animals in California

Law Seeks to Curb Growing Resistance to Crucial Antibiotic Drugs

SACRAMENTO – State Senator Jerry Hill announced today he will introduce legislation strengthening recently released federal guidelines to phase out the non-medical use of antibiotics in farm animals in California in order to combat growing resistance to these vital drugs. The legislation will effectively make it illegal for farmers and ranchers to use antibiotics to make animals grow bigger.

More than two million Americans contract antibiotic-resistant infections each year -- resulting in 23,000 deaths. The Food and Drug Administration last week announced that it will ask pharmaceutical companies, livestock and poultry producers, to stop using antibiotics to promote faster growth in animals and to limit their use to medical care only. The FDA’s guidance document, however, is not binding. The document contains only voluntary recommendations asking that pharmaceutical, livestock and poultry producers comply.

“My legislation will make it clear that the FDA guidelines are the law in California,” Hill said.  The San Mateo Democrat will introduce his bill when the Legislature re-convenes on Jan. 6.

Medically important antibiotics used in food-producing animals are the same ones used in humans. Farms consume at least 70 percent of the nation’s antibiotic supply -- and repeated exposure to antibiotics can lead germs to become resistant to drugs such as penicillin and tetracycline that are used to treat common bacterial infections in humans. At least 685 different drugs are approved by the FDA for use in animals.

This year, an outbreak of antibiotic-resistant salmonella linked to three chicken plants in California sickened nearly 400 people; 40 percent of those infected were hospitalized. Each year antibiotic-resistant infections result in at least $20 billion in direct health care costs and at least $35 billion in lost productivity.

"Antibiotic use in food producing animals for non-medical reasons is a serious public health issue,” Hill said. “My legislation is intended to ensure that medically important antibiotics remain effective in treating bacterial infections in animals and humans.”

Hill’s legislation will ensure that California companies comply with the FDA voluntary guidelines. Drug manufacturers will be required to change their labels preventing farmers from buying antibiotics over the counter and using them for non-medical purposes.  Since the 1950s producers have been feeding low doses of antibiotics to animals throughout their lives to increase their size and weight.  Pharmaceutical and livestock producers would be subject to penalties if they do not comply.

It will also require food producers to obtain a prescription from a veterinarian to use the drugs to prevent disease in their animals. With veterinary oversight, animal producers will still be able to use medically important antibiotics for legitimate disease treatment purposes.

In its Consumer Update, the Food and Drug Administration stated, “Because all uses of antimicrobial drugs, in both humans and animals, contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance, it is important to use these drugs only when medically necessary.” In 1977, the FDA first reported that the non-therapeutic use of penicillin and tetracycline in livestock could lead to new super-bugs resistant to antibiotics.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, "Antibiotics are also commonly used in food animals to prevent, control, and treat disease, and to promote the growth of food-producing animals. The use of antibiotics for promoting growth is not necessary, and the practice should be phased out."

Earlier this year Johns Hopkins University released a study which found that, “Administering nontherapeutic antimicrobials to food animals is particularly problematic since chronic administration of low doses of antimicrobials contributes to the evolution and proliferation of antimicrobial-resistant strains of bacteria. Accordingly, the widespread use of nontherapeutic antimicrobials in animals and the selection of genes conveying resistance can vastly diminish the effectiveness of antimicrobials to treat animal and human disease.”

The European Union banned the use of antibiotics in farm animals for non-medical purposes in 2005.

Parkside teacher Kathryn Marinos along with the San Bruno Education Foundation on Sunday December 15th put together "Hour of Code" at Parkside.  Over 100 preregistered for one of multiple hands on classes to learn the beginnings to advanced methods to code.  Ages 5 and up including adults participated.

The San Bruno Lions and the Parkside Leos provided a hot dog lunch with all of the fixings for $5.00.

Present as a teacher in one of the classes was Scott Cutner, president of the San Bruno Education Foundation. 

Other notables present were:  San Bruno School Board President Pat Flynn, school board member Kevin Martinez, school board member John Marinos.

Break out classes were well attended as can be seen in the attached photos.

Also present were representatives from Design Tech High School announcing their Thursday December 19th from 7:00 p.m. - 8:45 p.m. information session at the Burlingame Main Library - 480 Primrose Road - enter via the door on Bellevue Avenue - session will be held in the Lane Community room.

PURPOSE:  Learn more about what makes d.tech different and why it might be a great option for your student.

AUDIENCE:  Parents & Students - currently in the 8th grade and interested in future years.

Design Tech High School will be a public school of approximately 520 students that will serve grades 9-12 in the San Mateo Union High School District.  Our educational model emphasizes knowledge in action and extreme personalization.  We will use technology to implement this model by placing cutting edge tools in the hands of students and giving teachers the tools to customize student learning.  We will also teach students a problem-solving process called design thinking, which has gained notoriety through the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford University (the d.school).  Design Tech High School will provide students in the San Mateo Union High School District another quality school option and compliment the efforts of the District.  This charter describes the rationale, operational details and financial strategy for building a successful and sustainable new public school for SMUHSD.

Education at all levels needs to adopt 21st century methods and tools to develop the appropriate learning environment for encouraging creativity, innovation and the ability to think outside the box to solve problems.  Embedding entrepreneurship and innovation, cross-disciplinary approaches and interactive teaching methods all require new models, frameworks, and paradigms.  It is time to rethink the old systems and fundamentally “reboot” the educational process. -World Economic Forum 2011  

Mission and Vision

Technology has changed the way we interact with the world, making it increasingly customizable and personalized.   We can listen to our music of choice whenever we want; we can go online, custom design a shirt and have it delivered to our doorstep; there are apps available to create personalized fitness plans; and with the advent of 3-D printing, individuals can now design and manufacture clocks, motors, furniture and more in their own homes. 

It’s time for schools to start reflecting these changes.  Schools must utilize technological breakthroughs to give students the opportunity to have active, personalized educational experiences, redefining what it means to be a teacher and a student.  We are now in the midst of a revolution in education, with a great opportunity for SMUHSD to play a key role in shaping the education system.

In addition to implementing new structures and practices for educating students, Design Tech High School will have an intense focus on adult learning.   Design Tech High School will provide teachers with an intense clinical experience, and ultimately move the teacher credentialing process from the university to the schoolhouse door by functioning as a graduate school of education.

Who Does Design Tech Serve?

Design Tech will serve families in the San Mateo Union High School District.  We will strive to ensure that our student body is representative of the general population residing in the district. 

How is Design Tech Different from Other Schools?

Design Tech meets students where they are and allows them to progress through the content at their own pace.  We will also teach students design thinking with the expectation that students will apply what they learn to solving real problems.  Highlights of the school include:

An online curriculum and assessment system that allows students to move through a class at their own pace and gives teachers the information they need to decide how best to help students reach their goals. 

A flexible daily schedule based on student need.  Each week teachers will meet to create schedules for students based on student need.  In some cases teachers will schedule small group work or individual tutoring sessions for students to receive extra help.  At other times students will be given additional time to work on projects about which they are passionate. 

A design advisory for every student.  All students will be enrolled in a four-year design advisory class.  During this class, students will learn the fundamentals of the design process which include: empathizing, prototyping and testing.  It is through the design process that students will be expected to solve real problems and pursue their passions.  Design Tech will be part of the Stanford d.school’s K12 network which will give students access to all of the newest design techniques.

Access to low-tech and high-tech tools.  Not only will every student have access to a personal computing device, but they will also have access to a digital fabrication lab filled with tools ranging from hammers and nails to laser cutters and 3-D printers.  Design Tech students will be expected to build their ideas and turn their knowledge into action. 

Design Tech will also be a graduate school of education.  As part of its long-term strategy, Design Tech will begin implementing plans to become a teacher preparation program.  Design Tech staff are committed to continually learning the most effective methods for educating students and will only hire teachers who share this attitude.
