On Monday, Feburary 20, 2017, water began to flow over the Anderson Dam spillway. The Santa Clara Valley Water District had been releasing water since early December through the outlet (not spillway) to reduce the volume of water in the creek.

Every now and then, something catches the eye. Art from trash…art about trash. Recently, we’ve been seeing more plastics, especially Styrofoam, in our waterways and at our creek cleanups. Surely you’ve hear of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (actually there are two, and five around the world) where plastics float…
