Leigh High School DUI campaign
Leigh High School, 5210 Leigh Ave., will be staging "Every 15 Minutes," an anti-drunk-driving program April 2-3.
The program will simulate a "crash scene" on the school's athletic field, which will be viewed by the entire school.
Real students acting as drunk-driving victims will be transported to Valley Medical Center, where they will be pronounced "dead." The students will be processed at the county morgue, and parents will be asked to come down and identify their children. Santa Clara County Medical Examiner Greg Schmunk, whose daughter attends Leigh High School, will be participating in the event.
The students responsible for the accident will be questioned by the police, and then handcuffed and taken to jail. On the second day of the event, a "memorial service" will be held for the students who "died."
The purpose of the campaign is to educate students about the consequences of drunk driving and the people it can affect.
Gomes Park
Gomes Park, located at the intersection of Alice and Winchester avenues, received renovation approval by the Campbell City Council on March 19.
The park, which was originally designed and built in 1968, will get a new sign, irrigation, landscaping and a drinking fountain. The existing park benches will be replaced, and the old asphalt pathway will be removed and replaced with a tan concrete pathway. Large shrubs are also planned for the area along the fence to provide additional screening for the one residence that borders the park.
The project will cost $35,500 and is expected to begin in May. The city estimates the project will take two months to complete.
Canine Corps debut
Dog owners can join the Campbell Canine Corps and march with their dogs in the Bunnies and Bonnet Parade in downtown Campbell on March 30 at 12 p.m.
The CCC will march a total of four blocks, starting at Railway and E. Campbell avenues.
The dogs and their owners are invited to dress up in bonnets and costumes.
