A Photo Contest and Formation of New Parks Foundation: This Week's Campbell Government Preview

Here's what's happening in Campbell government today.

The Campbell Parks and Recreation Commission will meet Monday at 6:30 p.m. and discuss several issues that may interest you.

Campbell's Recreation and Parks Department manages the Campbell Community Center and Campbell Historical Museum, oversees recreational programs and adult (50+) services, and is responsible for the Heritage Theatre Capital Campaign and for the operation of the theater, according to the city's website.

Here's an overview of some of what's happening tonight:

• "Let's Move, Let's Play" Photo Contest with Aperture Academy and the Parks and Recreation Commission will have a photo contest. It's in anticipation of Campbell's upcoming "Let's Move, Let's Play" event Sept. 24, intended to raise awareness about healthy living opportunities in Campbell.

The photo contest will involve taking pictures of people playing in Campbell. "We want to pictures of folks on the trail, on the track, taking dancing lessons, volunteering," said Cynthia Bojorquez, Campbell's recreation and community services director. "Whatever it means to play in Campbell, we want to capture those photos."

Photos for the contest will be submitted on Aperture Academy's website, and winners will be announced at the Sept. 24 event.

Official rule for the contest will be released before the end of the month, Bojorquez said.

• The commission will review the progress of establishing a foundation that will raise money in support of Campbell's parks and recreation department. There is an organization interested in starting the foundation, Bojorquez said, and a study session to consider the report will be held June 21.

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
