Permanent solution to  stop Calendar, Contacts sync:

One Ghost required Your phone must be Rooted!sorry guys. :(
1) Go to Backup Restore Option and find the following entries
Contacts 2.2
[CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage 2.2
Contacts Sync Adapter 2.2.1
2) Tap on the last entry "Contacts Sync Adapter 2.2.1" and when the options come up simply select "Backup" (just in case) and then select the "Freeze!" option.
DONE! No more sync of calendar to Google Cloud..
For good measure I also Froze Gmail 2.3 as I DON'T want any of Google's offerings.. All of the above is being tested on my device and works perfectly in this state. Once I am confident that this is what I am happy with I will DELETE/MELT (MELT- Removed from Rom) the above crap from my Streak..

Final and Award winning Solution:

Why you want to logging your Google account on your phone? Don't say PLAY STORE !I mean there is all Offline application available and yes always upgraded.
For your Gmail just use your local browser and login as normally. I preferred Opera MiNi!
No such issue to being sync.
