Cupertino July 4 Celebration Free Shakespeare in the Park A Midsummer night’s dream, Written by William Shakespeare, directed by Kenneth Kelleher July 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, August 3, 4, 5. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 7:30 pm in Memorial Park. Cupertino and the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival present the 12th season of Free Shake- speare in Memorial Park. Bring the family to enjoy a free evening of great entertainment under the stars. Shakespeare’s intertwining love stories begin with the impending wedding of Duke Theseus of Athens and Queen Hippolyta of the Ama- zons. An Athenian nobleman demands that the Duke force his daughter Hermia to marry the noble Demetrius but she loves Demetrius’s rival Lysander. Hermia and Lysander flee, pursued by Demetrius and Helena and all four lovers end up in the forest. Meanwhile, a group of workmen meet in the forest to rehearse a play to be performed at the wedding. Also in the crowded forest are Oberon, King of the fairies, and his Queen, Titania. After fighting with Titania, Oberon sends his servant, the mischievous fairy Puck, to fetch a magical flower that causes people to fall in love with the first thing they see. Puck transforms the work- man Bottom the Weaver into a donkey, then makes Titania fall in love with the beast. Puck mistakenly makes both Lysander and Demetrius fall out of love with Hermia and in love with Helena, resulting in much confusion. In the morning, all awake as if from a dream. The couples are all married, and the workmen perform at the festive wedding.

For information call 408.777.3120 Cupertino Scene | Volume 25, #10 | July 2007 p. 5 Five years after California became part of the United States of America, the Daily Alta California newspaper declared: “Hallowed be the day, forever bright its memory in the heart of the nation. Sing to it, poets. Shout to it, freemen. Celebrate it with bonfires, parades and triumphant assemblies.” The Continental Congress in Philadelphia adopted the Declaration of Independence, unanimously declared by the first thirteen United States, on July 4, 1776. Then began the task of getting the document signed - a special printing of multiple copies was ordered so all the states would have an authenticated copy. The first organized celebration of July 4th took place in Philadelphia in 1777 and included can- nons, bells, music, toasts (one for each state) dinners, “loud huzzas”, parades, fireworks and the dressing up of “armed ships and gallies” in the harbor, using the new nation’s colors - red, white and blue. Ever after, across our land, as new states were added to the union, we have all celebrated the 4th of July. Here are some: 1828 Charles Carroll, the last surviving signer of the Declaration participated in a July 4th celebration in Baltimore and assisted in the laying of the “first stone” of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. 1835 Boston, George Robert Twelve Hughes, a shoemaker, was honored on July 4th as the last survivor of the Boston Tea Party. 1849 The first July 4th celebration in Cali- fornia was held in Sacramento, a year before California became a state. 1858 Jefferson Davis gave a July 4th speech on board a steamer bound from Balti- more to Boston and declared, “this great country will continue united”. Two years later saw the beginning of the Civil War and Jefferson Davis was president of the Confederacy. 1863 Newport, Rhode Island’s, 4th of July celebra- tion is repeated on July 7 due to the news regarding a Union victory in Vicksburg, Missis- sippi. Vicksburg refused to celebrate the 4th of July again until after WW II. 1876 Many three-day (July 3-5) celebrations occurred to commemorate the 100th an- niversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 1899 “Horseless carriages” took part at a 4th of July cel- ebration in Dyersville, Iowa. 1915 “Americanization Day” was celebrated on July 4th in Kansas City, Missouri while 220 new U.S. citizens sang “America” and other patriotic songs. 1930 Gutzon Borgium’s carved 60-foot face of George Washington on Mt. Rushmore was unveiled on July 4th. 1945 Berlin, Germany, the Stars and Stripes were hoisted over the Adolph Hitler Bar- racks to the sound of a 48-gun salute. 1963 The annual “Let Freedom Ring” tradition began as houses of worship across the country simultaneously ring their bells 13 times. Prime Minister Robert Menzies of Australia gave a 4th of July speech at Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson. 1976 America’s bicentennial. Elaborate celebrations and re-enactments were presented nationwide. 1982 President Ronald Reagan gave a wel- come speech on 4th of July for Thomas K. Mattingly and Henry W. Hartsfield as they land the space shuttle Columbia at Edwards Air Force Base in California. 2006 Stephanie D. Wilson is the 2nd African American female to go into space on a shuttle launched on July 4th. 2007 Happy 4th of July to all. Let freedom ring! Resources - James R.

CitYWidE gARAgE SAlE: oCtoBER 6 And 7 The city’s goal in sponsoring the Annual Cuper- tino Citywide Garage Sale is to prevent usable items from being thrown away, when they can be re-used by someone else—and to have some fun! The sale will be held at individual homes and other private locations within Cupertino. The city invites residents and community organizations to register, and will provide free advertising and a garage sale “how-to” kit for all registered sellers. Sale participants manage their own garage sales and keep the profits. There is no fee. Register on-line at the city’s website, www. cupertino.org (click on “Garage Sale”) or by phone on 777.3354 starting August 27th. The last day to register to get on the city’s official list is September 21st. The completed list and map of all registered sales will be published on the city’s website the week before the garage sale or pick one up at city hall, Quinlan community center, the library or senior center. gREEn BuSinESS AWARdS Six businesses and three city government facili- ties were honored for their work to become green businesses, at the June 3 City Council meeting. They are the first to become official “green” businesses in Cupertino. The Green Business Program is a successful partnership of environmental agencies and utili- ties that assist, recognize and promote business- es and government agencies that volunteer to operate in a more environmentally responsible way. To be certified “green,” participants must be in compliance with all regulations and meet program standards for conserving resources, preventing pollution and minimizing waste. This year’s certification recipients are Clutter Pros, The Driving Machine, EarthCare Landscap- ing, Intero Real Estate Services, Mattsson Web Solutions, Silicon Valley Association of Realtors, City of Cupertino City Hall, City of Cupertino Community Hall, and City of Cupertino Library. Some of the measures taken by these businesses are: replacing incandescent bulbs with fluores- cent lamps, purchasing recycled content paper and toner cartridges, purchasing energy efficient appliances, installing water saving toilets, insu- lating pipes, mulching landscape areas to save water and installing drought resistant plants, participating in the Spare the Air program, utilizing integrated pest management practices, and using safe cleaning products. The program is open to any business or govern- ment agency in the county. The Santa Clara County Program is part of the Bay Area Green Business Program, developed by Bay Area public agencies in collaboration with US EPA, Cal EPA Department of Toxic Substances Control and the business community. The Program is currently offered in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, Santa Clara and Sonoma counties. If you are interested in your company becoming a green business, call 408.282.3180. BESt WAYS to SPARE tHE AiR The Bay Area summer 2007 Spare the Air season runs from June 1 through October 12. During this period, the Bay Area may experi- ence several days with high levels of ozone, which can be unhealthy for children, the elderly, and people who exercise outdoors. On high pol- lution days, the Bay Area Air Quality Manage- ment District issues Spare the Air notices to the public, asking them to voluntarily refrain from polluting activities. Listen for these notices on the radio or TV, or check their website at www. sparetheair.org. Here are a few ways you can spare the air. • Drive less. Carpool to work a few days, or even one day a week. • Refuel in the evening and never top off. Put- ting gas into your vehicle releases Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the air. Throughout the day, these VOCs mix with oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the air, “cook” in the summer heat, and form ground-level ozone. Refueling in the evening decreases the By Lavenia Millar, Cupertino Environment Program Manager Cupertino Scene | Volume 25, #10 | July 2007 p. 13p. 12 Cupertino Scene | Volume 25, #10 | July 2007 Cupertino Scene | Volume 25, #10 | July 2007 p. 13p. 12 Cupertino Scene | Volume 25, #10 | July 2007 opportunity for VOCs to form into ozone. • Avoid consumer spray products. These aerosol products include hairspray, furniture polish, cooking sprays, bathroom cleaners, air fresheners, antiperspirants, insecticides, and hobby craft sprays. • Use water-based paints. Oil-based paints and varnishes contain a high percentage of VOCs that evaporate and create smog. • It’s OK to barbecue, but don’t use lighter fluid. • Do your garden chores gasoline-free. On Spare the Air days, don’t use gasoline-pow- ered equipment like mowers and leaf blowers. SAFE nEEdlE And SYRingE diSPoSAl Anyone using needles and syringes regularly should know how to dispose of them safely, and free of charge. Pick up a red, commercial biohaz- ard sharps container at your local pharmacy. It’s recommended that you call first to verify in-store availability. Once the container is ¾ full with needles, permanently seal it shut. Then call 408.299.7300 to make an appointment to drop- off the filled container. Correctly disposing of your sharps containers through the Countywide Household Hazardous Waste program will help protect yourself, your family, waste haulers, and the environment. CoMPutER RECYCling Cupertino residents can recycle computers and other electronic equipment, at no charge, at 10300 Bubb Rd., Mon., Wed., and Fri. from 8 am - 4:30 pm. Call 408.862.2667 for additional recorded information. gRASSCYCling Grasscycling is the natural recycling of grass by leaving clippings on the lawn when mowing. Clippings decompose quickly, returning valu- able nutrients back into the soil and reducing the amount of fertilizer needed, and amount of yard waste generated. For best results, use a mulch- ing mower. Follow the “1/3 rule”: a lawn should be mowed so that no more than 1/3 of the grass height is cut at any one mowing. This prevents an unsightly “hay-like” appearance. Mow when the grass is dry to prevent clippings from clumping in piles on the lawn. Grass roots and stems are the primary cause of thatch, not grass clippings. Simply Safe July 2007 BE SAFE! Help prevent power outages in your neighborhood.
