More than 50 residents gather March 28 at the Community Plaza in downtown Los Altos for a candlelight vigil marking the one-year anniversary of the start of the Iraqi war.

The group proceeded to the main library to view the peace pole that the community group Los Altos Voices of Peace donated to the city last month. The pole dedication is scheduled for May 23.

Los Altos Voices for Peace is a non-profit, grass-roots organization focusing on educational and advocacy projects that promote nonviolent solutions to global and local issues and the protection of civil liberties. For more information, call 964-5068 or e-mail kbor2@earthlink.net.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

For the first time in five years, a public elementary school, Gardner Bullis, opened its doors last week in Los Altos Hills. For some, it was, metaphorically speaking, the last stitch removed from the old wound following the closure of the original Bullis-Purissima School in 2003.

For others, including the diehards who formed the successful Bullis Charter School, the sting of the Bullis closure lingers. But our sense is that for most Hills residents not part of the Loyola School coverage area, the opening of Gardner Bullis means the resurrection of a long-sought-after neighborhood school and the community benefits that come with it.
