Hemme Station Park Remains Safe for All Users
|
A report issued last week by NCE, Environmental and Engineering Services confirms that there is no reason for concern for park goers at the beautiful Hemme Station Park along the Iron Horse Trail in Alamo.
Read Report Here.
Recently, what appears to be underground storage tanks were found outside the Hemme Station Park (with one possibly extending 2 feet under the park fence) along Danville Boulevard. This was the site of the Shady Way Inn, in the 1930’s through 1960’s, and gasoline was sold and dispensed along the highway.
The engineering company has not yet determined if the underground tanks are empty, but noted that there was no visual or olfactory evidence of petroleum hydrocarbons within the soil. A tree outside the park is going to be removed so that they can better examine the second object that appears to also be a storage tank. The tree will be replaced after the work is finished.
State law allows for either the abandonment (if properly sealed) or the removal of underground storage tanks. It appears that when the Shady Way Inn discontinued business, and the property became a residential lot, they opted for abandonment. Once the tree is removed and further examination of these tanks takes place, our County Hazardous Materials Division will decide whether to keep the tanks in place or to remove them.
During the park construction two years ago, concerned Alamo residents first raised the issue of park contamination. ENGEO Engineering was hired to do an extensive study of the entire park area and determined it was safe, finding only a slightly elevated level of lead along Danville Boulevard. Their opinion was that the slightly higher level of lead was caused by the exhaust of vehicles over the years driving by with leaded fuel. To mitigate for this the County removed this contaminated soil and replaced it with clean dirt.
Given the mitigation that already took place before the park opened, and that there are no obvious signs of any contamination near these tanks, and the fact that the park structures, picnic areas, and playground equipment are not in the vicinity of these recently discovered tanks, it is the opinion of our Public Works staff and the NCE that there is NO danger to park users. We will continue to keep the community updated as additional information becomes available.

RX Drop Boxes Let Contra Costa Residents Safely Dispose of Unwanted Medicine at CVS Pharmacy Locations
|
For several years Contra Costa residents have been able to safely dispose of their unwanted prescription medicines at Police Stations, but now they can also take them to 27 CVS Pharmacy locations in the County thanks to new, secure drop boxes added through the County’s Safe Drug Disposal Ordinance.
The ordinance, passed in 2016, requires pharmaceutical drug manufacturers to provide collection services for unused drugs, to protect the environment and prevent accidental poisonings or intentional misuse of drugs such as prescription opioids.
The drop-box service is free, secure and confidential. The medications can be disposed of at the sites even if they weren’t purchased at CVS. Most medications are accepted in their original containers or in sealed bags. Drugs and packaging placed in drop boxes will be safely destroyed. In addition to CVS Pharmacy locations, 10 Kaiser facilities in Contra Costa also have the drop boxes.
Visit
cchealth.org/safe-drug-disposal for more information about the ordinance and a link to a searchable database of Contra Costa locations with drop boxes.

"The Sixties at Fifty" Exhibit Now Showing at
Museum of the San Ramon Valley
|
The Museum of the San Ramon Valley has opened its 2019 season with an exhibit that chronicles the 1960’s in the San Ramon Valley.
The 1960s brought us the war in Vietnam. It also brought us JFK, LBJ, landing on the moon and much more. Issues such as civil rights, the environment, worker’s rights, and women's rights were beginning to move to the forefront of American’s minds. The San Ramon Valley was not immune to these changes. See how these and other events affected the Valley.
This once quiet idyllic farming community saw its population grow from 12,800 in 1960 to 28,000 in 1970. The Meese Ranch which we now know as Greenbrook became the first Planned Unit Development or PUD. This growth impacted schools in the valley. It drove the creation of the San Ramon Valley Unified School district, a tumultuous undertaking for the valley. John Baldwin School would open during this period. The migration from farming to suburbia was well underway.
Transportation was changing as old Highway 21 was to be replaced by 680, a new freeway connecting the valley with the greater bay area. The San Ramon Valley would never be the same. Landing on the Moon, bell bottoms, leisure suits, the Summer of Love, and much more are all part of The Sixties at Fifty.
Come and learn about these and many other events that helped shape what the San Ramon Valley is today.
The Museum of the San Ramon Valley is located at 205 Railroad Avenue in Danville.
Their hours are Tuesday - Friday 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and Sunday 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.. For more information, call (925) 683 3750 or visit their website at

Lafayette Age-Friendly Community Kickoff Event
|
The City of Lafayette Senior Services Commission will hold its AARP/World Health Organization Age-Friendly Community Initiative Kickoff from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 20th at the Lafayette Library & Learning Center, Don Tatzin Community Hall.
The AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities is an affiliate of the World Health Organization's Age-Friendly Cities and Communities program. As many of us know, with the population aging and people staying healthy and active longer, communities such as Lafayette must adapt to these changes. Well-designed, livable communities promote health, sustain economic growth, and make for happier, healthier residents of all ages.
The Eight Domains of Livability that form the backbone of the initiative are Outdoor Spaces and Buildings, Transportation, Housing, Social Participation, Respect and Social Inclusion, Civic Participation and Employment, Communication and Information, and Community and Health Services. Each of these domains will be discussed at the meeting and focus groups for each will be held at a later date.
Come learn more about the Age-Friendly Initiative and contribute by sharing your answers to these initial questions:
• What do you love about Lafayette?
• What are our current age-friendly needs?
• What age-friendly needs do you foresee for the future?

Contra Costa County Libraries Clear All Outstanding Fines
|
As part of the Contra Costa County Library’s continued efforts to improve access, balances on all library accounts have been cleared. This move goes hand-in-hand with the elimination of fines announced last month. As of January 1, 2019, all library cards are returned to good standing and patrons who may have been staying away from the library can come back and enjoy all the services the library has to offer. With accounts now cleared, the Library hopes to see patrons returning all the overdue items they were afraid to return due to fines.
No matter how old, or why it was late, you are welcome to bring it back, no questions asked. Library staff will evaluate all returned items for relevance, condition and popularity so that materials may be reintroduced to the collection.
Patrons previously blocked from library services will once again be able to check out books, magazines and DVDs and use all the online services available through ccclib.org. Moving forward, the Library will no longer charge daily overdue fines on library materials. Checkout periods will remain the same and charges for lost or damaged books or materials will still apply.
The elimination of fines and clearing of all accounts helps to meet the Library’s goal of removing barriers to access and making it easy, equitable and enjoyable for everyone.
These new policies introduce an ongoing amnesty, which allows everyone regardless of age, location or ability to pay, the opportunity to have continued access to the library.
For more information on the elimination of fines including Frequently Asked Questions, please visit
ccclib.org.

Moraga Rotary Named “Outstanding Club” in
the Northern California District
|
The Rotary Club of Moraga was recognized as the “The Outstanding Club of the Year” at the Rotary District 5160 awards dinner held recently in Woodland, Yolo County. This District consists of 72 individual Rotary Clubs ranging from Berkeley and San Ramon in the south to Weed near the Oregon border, with four clubs in Lamorinda. This award has been given annually to the Outstanding Club since 1994, when it was created by Cliff Dochterman while he was serving as Worldwide President of Rotary International, and has been passed along each year to the winning Club. This award honors the recent achievements of Moraga Rotary under Club Presidents Kevin Reneau, Dianne Wilson, and Ron Mucovich.
One factor contributing to Moraga Rotary winning this award was the successful fundraising, design, and completion of the All-Access Playground at the Moraga Commons, which achieved wide community support and is regarded as the largest privately funded gift to the Town of Moraga. Donations in excess of $350,000 were received from more than 200 foundations, companies, individuals, and other organizations, including several service clubs and grants from The Rotary Foundation. The project has brought many segments of the local citizenry to work together, and the Playground has been overwhelmingly accepted by children and parents.
The creative playground equipment enables special needs youngsters the opportunity to play with other children, and it serves children from many Bay Area communities. A 2/3-page article titled “A Place Where Everyone Can Play” appeared in the June 2018 Rotarian Magazine, which exposed the Playground project achievement to its 800,000 circulation in English-speaking countries around the world.
The current major international project of Moraga Rotary is building a critically needed children’s home in Sierra Leone, Africa, for children orphaned due to the outbreaks of Ebola. Each speaker at Moraga Rotary last year was presented a backpack to be given to an orphaned child in Sierra Leone to enable them to attend school. Moraga Rotary has raised about $200,000 for the project, much of which came from local community groups and individuals. The kitchen to serve the orphanage has already been constructed.
Moraga Rotary has served the community for more than 50 years through sponsorship of 14 Odyssey of the Mind teams, scholarships awards to Campolindo High School and St. Mary’s students, exchange students, sponsoring Interact and Rotaract Clubs at Campolindo & St. Mary’s College, donations to Moraga Education Foundation, and Field Day for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. The Club also helps or donates to Monument Crisis Center, Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano, RotaCare Free Clinic, books for the library at Juvenile Hall, assistance to fire and flood disasters, and many other community and international service activities.
Rotary Club of Moraga is a local service club within Rotary International, one of about 33,000 Rotary Clubs in about 200 countries. Regular meetings are held on most Tuesdays at the Moraga Country Club. For further information, please call Debbie Koo at (925) 376-9137, or check out

Consumer Scam Alert: Fake Social Security Administration Callers Targeting Individuals
|
The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office issued a consumer protection scam alert to notify residents of fraudulent phone calls from callers pretending to be from the Social Security Administration. These scammers are claiming you need to pay a fee to unlock your Social Security number as a result of criminal activity. The callers are specifically asking for the individual to confirm their Social Security number.
Recently, the Federal Trade Commission confirmed an increase activity of these scammers. These telephone scams are attempting to collect personal information from unsuspecting residents.

You will never be asked to pay anything over the phone by an authorized member of the Social Security Administration.
Do not give out your Social Security number or the last four digits to anyone contacting you.
If anyone asks you to pay them with a gift card, cash or a wire transfer, this is evidence of a scam.
When residents give out their personal information, the scammers will use this information to commit identity theft.
To report this fraudulent activity please contact the Social Security Administration at 1-(800)772-1213. To file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission please visit their website
