A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Written by William
Shakespeare, Directed by Kenneth Kelleher
July 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, August 3, 4, 5. Friday, Sat-
urday, and Sunday, 7:30 pm in Memorial Park.
Shakespeare’s intertwining love stories begin
with the impending wedding of Duke Theseus
of Athens and Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons.
An Athenian nobleman demands that the Duke
force his daughter Hermia to marry the noble
Demetrius. Hermia, however, loves Demetrius’s
rival Lysander. Hermia and Lysander flee from
Athens by night, pursued by Demetrius and Hel-
ena. All four young lovers end up in the forest.
Meanwhile, a group of local 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
workman 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.

Cupertino July 4 Celebration
~July 4 Continued from Page 1
Cupertino Scene | Volume 25, #9 | June 2007 p. 5p. 4 Cupertino Scene | Volume 25, #9 | June 2007
June is graduation month and the month for
weddings. For hordes of schoolchildren, it’s the
start of summer vacation, except nowadays it’s all
camps and classes instead of cutting apricots and
picking prunes. Someone should give a class in
those two time honored and “fruitful” activities.
Back to weddings: have you been to the
Cupertino Museum at Quinlan Center to see
the wonderful wedding dress exhibit yet? It is
spectacular. East meets west, old meets new
and the colorful gowns and saris are absolutely
breathtaking along with the ivory aged tradi-
tional western gowns.
If you are fortunate to drop in on a Friday, one
of the docents can tell you all about the dresses,
which differ according to geographical area and
what colors, are used depending on that area.
Northern Indian saris are much different than
southern Indian saris and there are fascinating
stories about these gowns. Woven into some of
the wedding saris are real gold and silver threads
in lovely and intricate patterns.
Cynthia Lee wore a traditional white western-
style wedding gown when was married in the mid
1900’s. Daughter Nicol Lea wore a traditional
red Chinese wedding dress at her ceremony years
later. Both are on display with wedding pictures.
There are also wedding photos of some of Cuper-
tino’s old families: the Mariani, Picchetti, Gaglias-
so and Svilich families. There are some old photos
where the participants were not known - maybe
when you come in to look at the exhibit, you
might be able to help identify some of the people
in the exhibit pictures and fill in some local his-
tory. These photos in “Roots” don’t do justice to
these beautiful gowns to show the incredible and
delicate details. And remember, almost everything
on these gowns was done by hand.

City Growth & Development
Vallco Park Update
Vallco Fashion Park greeted the spring with the
new name “Cupertino Square,” a brand new 16
screen AMC theater, and the soon-to-be-opened
Strike Bowling center. These changes have
sparked a buzz that this marks the return of a
premier shopping venue in the valley. One-third
of all retail space in the city is located in Cuper-
tino Square. Its success provides important com-
mercial services for our residents and necessary
sales tax dollars to fund municipal services such
as police patrols and recreation programs.
The theaters include state of the art audio/video
systems and large comfortable stadium seating.
Purchase your movie tickets at the second level
of the mall and then ascend the escalator through
the large glass atrium to the top floor where you
are greeted with a mural of movie stars and a
granite entry floor etched with classic movie
lines. Some reported that a recent weekend was
“crowded” with the release of Spiderman 3 and
other blockbuster movies - a welcome change!
In addition to the theaters and bowling, Cuper-
tino Square plans a “Santana Row-like” mixed-
use retail and residential building on the recessed
parking area located off on Vallco Parkway that
has been dubbed the “Rose Bowl.” Islands and
California Pizza Kitchen restaurants are planned
to be located in the Sears parking lot. They will
join the recently completed Dynasty and Alex-
ander’s and many other fine restaurants to round
out your dining options. Parking is easy with two
new recently completed parking structures next
to Macy’s and JCPenney. The JCPenney garage
will be faced with new ground floor retail ten-
ants. Cupertino Square is aggressively pursuing
national tenants to round out the retail package
and hoteliers to construct new lodging facilities.
Cupertino residents no longer have to travel great
distances to find exciting shopping and entertain-
ment options. Thanks to all who have participated
in the rebuilding process and to all Cupertino
residents for your patience. You are finally getting
a shopping center that you can truly be proud of.
Honor Your Father and Grandfather
Sponsor a paver in the Veterans Memorial for
Father’s Day to celebrate their military histories
The Cupertino Veterans Memorial in Memorial
Park will be dedicated on Veterans Day, Sunday,
November 11, 2007. The Walk of Remembrance
at the Memorial allows you to purchase paving
stones in honor of anyone who has served,
including MIAs and POWs, or is currently
serving in the U.S. military. The pavers will be
an important part of funding the Memorial.
Organizations and businesses are also invited to
purchase pavers with messages honoring veterans.
All inscriptions will be engraved on lines of
20-30 characters each including spaces and
punctuation. $250 pavers (6” x 12”) are allotted
three lines and the $500 and $1,000 pavers (12”
x 12”) are allotted six lines. The difference in
cost reflects size and placement of the pavers.
Military seals and medals will be available for
the $1,000 pavers.
Pavers are secured on a first-come first-served
basis. Order by June 10, 2007 in order to receive
a certificate to present to your father or grandfa-
ther on Father’s Day. Thank you for you support
and donation.

Need to Drain Your Pool?
Residents that need to drain their pool or spa
this season should be aware of steps that must
be taken to protect city creeks.
Draining pool water to the streets is prohibited
by city ordinance. If pool water is pumped
directly into the gutter, it will flow into a storm
drain, and straight into one of Cupertino’s creeks.
The chlorine and pool chemicals are a threat to
aquatic life in the creeks.
Pool water must be pumped into the home’s sani-
tary sewer “clean-out.” Before a pool is drained,
the pool owner or the pool technician should call
the Cupertino Sanitary District at 408.253.7071.
District staff can provide assistance in finding the
home’s “clean-out” and answer questions about
the appropriate pumping flow rate and technique,
and the right time of day to be draining the pool.
To obtain a brochure, call 408.777.3354 or pick
one up at the lobby in City Hall.
Watershed Watch
Your Car’s Tailpipe Isn’t the Only Source
of Auto Pollution
There are many ways all cars contribute pollu-
tion to our watershed and they can be prevented.
Washing, changing oil, leaking fluids, and engine
cleaning all contribute to the pollution problem.
Auto fluids and particles from brake pad and
tire wear build up on our driveways, streets and
parking lots. Rainwater carries the oil, antifreeze,
brake pad dust and other pollutants into the
storm drain system and flows directly to local
creeks and San Francisco Bay, where it can harm
plants and animals. Oil and grease can clog fish
gills and block oxygen from entering the water.
Pollutants from cars are toxic to the internal
systems of fish and animals and can also break
down the oil on bird feathers making it more
difficult for them to float and repel water. Here’s
how you can help reduce auto pollution:
Keep car water out of storm drains - Washing your
car in the driveway, street, or carport can carry
detergents, oil, brake dust, metals and other
chemicals to the storm drain that leads directly
to local creeks and the Bay. Wash your car in an
unpaved area or better yet, take it to a commercial
car wash. Clean brake dust off wheels with paper
towels and dispose of the towels in the trash.
Fix fluid leaks immediately - If you see a buildup
of fluids on your parking spot, place a plastic
tarp or drip pan underneath your car until you
repair the leak. Dispose off the fluid and plastic
tarp/ drip pan at your local Household Hazard-
ous Waste collection facility.
Change your oil on time - The longer engine oil is
used, the thinner it gets. Leaks are more likely,
and exhaust emissions are increased.
Do it yourselfers, do it right - If you change your
own oil or other automotive fluids, drain fluid
into a drain pan. Use a funnel to pour fluid into
a plastic container and recycle the used fluids
at curbside along with other recyclables or at a
Household Hazardous Waste collection center or
event. Never drain or pour any auto fluid onto
the street or into a storm drain.
Clean Engines Properly - Engine cleaners contain
degreasers that contain highly toxic solvents that
are dangerous to work with and harmful to our
watershed. Avoid products containing naphtha,
nonylphenol ethozylate, trichloroethane or trichlo-
roethylene. Try limonene, a citrus-based solvent.
Use rags instead of water to clean your engine.
Don’t allow wash water to go the storm drain.
Carpool or use alternative forms of transportation.
Littering Is Throwing It All Away
Because we live in a watershed, our community’s
litter makes a very big impact. A watershed is
a land area that drains water into a creek, river,
lake, wetland, bay or groundwater aquifer. In the
Santa Clara Valley, the water from rain and irri-
gation (called runoff) picks up litter and carries it
directly into storm drains, creeks and rivers that
flow to San Francisco Bay.
Six-pack rings, rope, discarded fishing line and
other debris can wrap around fins, flippers and
limbs of water animals and fish, causing them to
be injured or drowned. Plastic bags, deflated bal-
loons or other items can be mistaken for food and
swallowed, blocking an animal’s digestive tract.
Also, toxic substances found in plastics and other
litter can leach into the water, polluting it further.
• Don’t litter, ever. Even a cigarette butt thrown
on a city street can pollute the environment.
• When you see litter, pick it up and dispose of it.
• Secure and cover all truckloads as appropriate.
• Make sure your trash lid is closed securely.
• Always bring a bag for trash when picnicking,
hiking or camping.
• If you own a business, check your dumpster
regularly and protect it from illegal dumping.
Is There Mercury Lurking In Your Home?
Mercury is used in thermometers, thermostats,
vehicle light switches, fluorescent lights and some
items such as antique toy drawing screens and pre-
1997 light-up sneakers. Each year in the Bay Area,
13 million fluorescent lamps are disposed of.
Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that accumulates
up the food chain. Exposure can affect the brain,
By Lavenia Millar, Cupertino Environment Program Manager
spinal cord, kidneys, and liver, with children be-
ing the most susceptible. Mercury can also impair
fetal development, preventing the brain and ner-
vous system from developing normally. The U.S.
Food and Drug administration issued a nation-
wide consumer advisory that children, nursing
mothers, and women who may become pregnant
should not eat shark, swordfish, king mackerel or
ocean whitefish because of the mercury content.
Also, due to the San Francisco Bay mercury
contamination, it is recommended that adults eat
no more than two Bay fish per month. Help keep
mercury out of the bay by recycling fluorescent
lights and other items containing mercury.
Replace Your Mercury Fever Thermometers –
Non-mercury thermometers, including digital and
glass, are as accurate as mercury thermometers.
As of July 1, 2002 it is illegal to distribute or
sell mercury thermometers in California. Glass
thermometers use either alcohol or a mix of
gallium, indium and tin instead of mercury.
Recycle Household Items – Mercury recovered
from fluorescent lights, thermometers and
thermostats means less new mercury needs to be
mined, and as a result less potential mercury in
our air and water. Call 408.299.7300 or
www.hhw.org to find out more about a local col-
lection event or center near you.
Mercury Spill at Home – If you spill mercury in
your home, turn off your heating or air condi-
tioning and ventilate the room to the outdoors.
Avoid touching the mercury with your bare
hands and do not vacuum the spill. Use a medi-
cine dropper, collect the mercury and place the
mercury and dropper in an airtight container.
Take the mercury to your local household haz-
ardous waste facility or collection event.
By protecting the watershed, creeks and Bay, you
are protecting the environment for yourself, your
children and future generations. For more infor-
mation about how to protect your local watershed,
call 1.866.WATERSHED or visit www.mywater-
shedwatch.org for your free Watershed Watch Kit.
Cupertino Free
Cupertino Free is open to all if you have
something you no longer need or want. It’s a
great way to unload items you have around the
house that you feel someone in your community
would enjoy rather than placing it in our local
landfills. Want something? Just ask. All not-for-
profit groups are welcome. Our intention is
to lend a helping hand to a neighbor in need,
build community spirit and be environmentally
responsible. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/

Simply Safe with Emergency Vehicles
When an emergency vehicle approaches you
with its lights or siren on, pull over and come to
a complete stop. Emergency vehicles may need
to turn directly in front of you. Even a slowly
moving vehicle requires more attention from an
emergency vehicle driver than one that has com-
pletely stopped. Stop slowly and use your signals
to let other drivers know what you’re doing.
If stopped at a red light and blocking the path
of the emergency vehicle, ensure that all other
traffic has stopped and then slowly pull into
the intersection in the direction of traffic. Once
you’ve cleared the intersection, stop until the
emergency vehicles have turned or passed you.
Many drivers hear the sirens and see the lights,
but don’t get out of the way. Some try to outrun
or follow emergency vehicles. This is not only
dangerous, but it’s illegal!
The California Department of Motor Vehicles
says “You must yield the right of way to any
police car, fire engine, ambulance, or other
emergency vehicle using a siren and red lights.
Drive as close to the right edge of the road as
possible and stop until the emergency vehicle(s)
has passed. However, never stop in an intersec-
tion. If you are in an intersection when you see
an emergency vehicle, continue through the
intersection and then drive to the right as soon
as you can and stop. Emergency vehicles often
use the wrong side of the street to continue on
their way. They sometimes use a loud speaker to
talk to drivers blocking their path.”
To help you remember what to do, think “SIREN.”
S= Stay alert - Drive defensively, Keep distrac-
tions to a minimum – avoid talking on a cell
phone and keep the stereo volume low enough
that you’ll be able to hear a siren from several
blocks away.
I=Investigate - Check your rear view mirror, scan
in front and on both sides, try to estimate the
closing speed and plan your next move.
R= React - React quickly, but calmly. Scan all
directions before pulling over. Always use a
signal and don’t slam on the breaks or pull over
suddenly.
E= Enter - Before re-entering the roadway, check all
directions, signal, and gradually merge back into
traffic. Watch for additional emergency vehicles.
N= Never - Don’t stop at a place that does not
have enough room to pull over safely. Never try
to outrun or follow an emergency vehicle.
