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. By Gail Fretwell Hugger ROOTS A Visual Treat For June Cynthia & Nicol Lee at Nicol’s wedding Indian Wedding DressTraditional American Wedding Dresses North Indian Sari (L) and South Indian Sari (R) Cupertino Scene | Volume 25, #9 | June 2007 p. 5p. 4 Cupertino Scene | Volume 25, #9 | June 2007 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.

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.

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/ CupertinoFree/ 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.
