Shakespeare in the Park 2006
THE TEMPEST
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Kenneth Kelleher
Performances Saturday and Sunday evenings at 7:30pm in Cupertino’s beautiful
Memorial Park. July 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, and 30
A shipwreck at sea strands the magician Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan, on
a strangely magical island. With the help of the spirit Ariel, Prospero’s daughter-
Miranda falls in love with Prince Ferdinand. Meanwhile, Prospero’s monstrous
servant Caliban conspires with the court clown, with hilarious results. In the end,
with the help of much magic, Propero’s Dukedom is restored, enemies are
forgiven, and Ariel is set free.
Cupertino teams up with the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival to present the
11th season of Free Shakespeare in Memorial Park. Please bring the family to
enjoy a free evening of great entertainment under the stars!
For more information, call The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival 800.978.PLAY
roots: Celebrating the Fourth of July
July 4th is here again! Time for parades and
barbecues, picnics and speeches and FIREWORKS!
In the earlier days, July 4th or Independence Day, as it
was often called, celebrated the birth of our country
as the United States of America, after the adoption
of the Declaration of Independence from Britain on
July 4, 1776. Every schoolchild learned about George
Washington, Paul Revere, John Adams the Minutemen
and the brave soldiers of the Revolutionary War who
overcame superior numbers and persevered until
the war was over in 1783 and the colonies no longer
belonged to King George.
Philadelphia was the capital of the U.S. then; it
was the home of the Supreme Court, as well as
the Congress, and the justices of the court rode on
a horse-drawn float shaped like a giant eagle. The
eagle was adopted as our national bird in 1782,
after long debates. Some felt that the eagle had
been a symbol of kings and empires and was not
suitable for a new, young democracy. Benjamin
Franklin suggested a turkey, because it was native to
America, but in the end the bald eagle was chosen
because it was found only in North America and
unknown in Europe.
Our first national flag was raised on a hill near
Boston on Jan. 4, 1776, by troops serving under
General Washington.
The United States flag has always been important
to people in America and has a special meaning in
wartime. On July 4, 1862, Northern soldiers being
held as prisoners of war in Richmond, Virginia,
wanted to celebrate the holiday, but they had no
flag. They secretly made one from a pair of blue
flannel trousers and a piece of red cloth. They used
a white shirt for the stars and stripes. They raised
the homemade flag above their barracks early on
the morning of July 4th and it waved for almost an
hour before the prison guards saw it and made the
soldiers take it down.
The Liberty Bell is one of the best-known symbols
of American independence. The original bell was
called the State House Bell, since it had been
ordered for the new State House in Philadelphia
from England in 1752. Before the bell was to be
raised to the top of the State House tower, people
wanted to hear it ring, so the bell ringer stepped
up and swung the heavy clapper. The bell sounded
a deep BONG! But almost at once a crack split the
rim and raced up the side of the bell. The bell was
broken down in pieces and recast two more times
before it could be rung properly.
The bell was hidden from the British in 1777 and
rung when General Cornwallis of Great Britain
surrendered to George Washington at Yorktown in
1781. It rang again when the U.S. signed a peace
treaty with Britain in 1783 and rang over and over
when the U.S. Constitution was adopted in 1788.
Of all the symbols of Fourth of July, fireworks are
the most spectacular. People in China, the Near
East and Europe have been celebrating with
fireworks for more than 600 years. Not everyone
in the new America was happy with fireworks.
In the 1890’s, the “Society for the Suppression
of Unnecessary Noise” was founded in a futile
attempt to outlaw fireworks near public buildings.
Even though some states have outlawed the sale of
fireworks to the public, everywhere on the Fourth
of July are wonderful nighttime displays, set off by
experts, for people to come and see in a safe place.
In our community of Cupertino, July 4th
celebrations were small in the early days before
many people lived in the area. People would
travel to San Jose to see the fireworks and hear
the music at Spartan Stadium in San Jose.
Then Cupertino began to hold its own
celebrations. This year, fireworks will be
launched from Cupertino High School.
Happy Fourth of July, everyone!

The Citywide Garage Sale Is Coming
Cupertino’s annual Citywide Garage Sale will be
held September 23 and 24 at individual homes
and other private locations within the city, and
in neighboring unincorporated areas. The city is
inviting 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 to participate.
All participants can register on-line at the city’s
website, www.cupertino.org (click on “Garage
Sale”) starting August 14th. Call after that day,
777-3354, if you do not have access to computer
sign-up. The last day to register to get on the
city’s official list is September 8th. The “how-to”
kit and accompanying information will also be
available on the web. 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. The city’s goal
in sponsoring the Cupertino 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!
Toxics Date Set: August 26th
The County-wide Household Hazardous Waste Pro-
gram will be holding a disposal event in Cupertino
on Saturday, August 26th. The Program is available
free to residents. The event is conveniently timed
to help residents dispose of unwanted, potentially
hazardous materials that they discover while getting
ready for our September Citywide Garage Sale.
Typical materials that are brought in include:
latex and oil-based paint, solvents, toxic cleaners,
pesticides, batteries (car and household), mercury
thermometers, old pool care products, motor oil,
antifreeze and other car fluids, fluorescent tubes
and bulbs, hobby chemicals, and photo develop-
ing chemicals. Call 299-7300 for an appointment
and more information.
Best Ways to Spare the Air
In the Bay Area, the summer air pollution “sea-
son” usually runs from June to October. During
this period, the Bay Area may experience several
days with high levels of ozone, which can be un-
healthy for children, the elderly, and people who
exercise outdoors. On high pollution days, the
Bay Area Air Quality Management 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; cars are the major source of air
pollution in the Bay Area. Carpool to work a
few days, or even one day a week.
• Refuel in the evening and never top off. Putting
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 opportunity for VOCs to
form into ozone.
• Avoid consumer spray products. In the Bay
Area, 50 tons per day of pollution come from
spray products. These aerosol products include
hairspray, furniture polish, cooking sprays,
bathroom cleaners, air fresheners, antiperspi-
rants, insecticides, and hobby craft sprays.
• Use water-based paints. Oil-based paints and
varnishes contain a high percentage of VOCs that
evaporate into the atmosphere 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-powered equip-
ment like mowers, leaf blowers and chain saws.
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 biohazard sharps
container at your local pharmacy. It’s recommended
that you call first to verify in-store availability. Once
the container is three-quarters 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.
Waste Reduction Awards Program
The application period for the Waste Reduction
Awards Program (WRAP) is open and continues
through August 31, 2006. The awards program,
administered by the California Integrated Waste
Management Board, provides an opportunity for
California businesses to gain public recognition
for their outstanding efforts to reduce waste.
Applicants do not compete by type or size of
business, but are judged based on individual
merit. Award winners receive authorization to
use the WRAP winner logo with their products,
advertising, and business Web sites to publicize
waste reduction efforts. Any California business
that has taken effective measures to reduce the
amount of waste it generates may apply. Businesses
are asked to provide information about the steps
they are taking to reduce waste in their daily
business operations. For an application and
additional information visit the WRAP website
at http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/WRAP/.
Computer Recycling
Reminder: Cupertino residents can recycle
computers and other electronic equipment, at no
charge, at 10300 Bubb Rd., Mon., Wed., and Fri.
from 8:00 am- 4:30 pm. Call (408) 862-2667 for

Keep the Library Fountain Open
Responsible, supervised play in the fountain allows a safer
and more enjoyable experience for all. The civic plaza and
fountain were designed and built as an amenity for the
citizens of Cupertino. Our civic plaza and fountain provide
an excellent range of experience, from excitement to
contemplation, in the safest manner possible. Hundreds,
if not thousands, of children and adults have run through
the fountain in the 20 months since it opened.
In the state of California, every surface on which a person
walks or runs is manufactured to meet a series of codes
and standards for slip resistance. The civic plaza and foun-
tain are no exception. Every surface at the fountain, either
dry or wet, meets or exceeds state “friction” standards, in-
cluding the metal grating, glass and surrounding concrete.
Tripping, pushing, diving, etc., at the fountain or on any
other surface, may result in injury. As with any play area or
public space, unsafe behavior may have serious consequences.
Help us keep the fountain open.

TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
& COMMUNICATION COMMISSION
Do you reminisce about the days of rotary-dial
telephones with party lines and black & white
televisions? Or are you excited about the potential
of 3G wireless, VoIP, e-Government, WiMax, and
plasma HDTV? Here in the heart of Silicon Valley,
the residents and businesses of Cupertino experi-
ence the turbulence of rapid technological innova-
tion. This turbulence can be both unsettling and
exhilarating. To help the city of Cupertino cope
with this change, the Technology, Information, and
Communications Commission (TICC) has evolved
from the Telecommunications Commission.
As codified in the recently revised municipal
code, the TICC “Advises the City Council and
City Manager on all matters relating to technology,
information and communications within the city
of Cupertino.” While this charter appears broad,
in important areas the TICC must work within
legal and regulatory limitations. The U.S.
Congress responded to the desire of the
telecommunications and cable television industries
for national legislation to replace a patchwork
of state laws and city ordinances. The Federal
Communications Commission then specified and
enforces regulations to implement the legislations
passed by Congress. As a result, local government
has almost no influence over cable television
pricing or the quality of cellular phone service.
TICC works to inform Cupertino about the
technological and governmental issues we face
and to help improve the services provided
to residents and businesses by the city and
commercial service providers.

Summer is a great time for block parties –
and getting to know your neighbors. Need
something to talk about? How does your neigh-
borhood rate? See how well your neighborhood
would fare if an earthquake happened tomorrow…
1. Do you know when your neighbors are out
of town or on vacation?
2. If they were gone and their home was dam-
aged, do you have a way to contact them?
Do you have an out of area contact for them
in case local phone service is unavailable?
3. Do you know where your neighbor’s gas
shutoff valve is kept and how/when to shut
off the gas to their home?
4. Do you know who may pick up the neigh-
bor’s children from school if the parents are
injured or out of town?
5. Is there someone living near you who knows
first aid and could offer assistance to you or
your neighbors?
6. Do any of your neighbors have medical
conditions that could be adversely affected
by a power outage? (Medications that need
refrigeration? Life support equipment that
needs electricity?) Is there a backup plan?
7. Do you know your neighbors’ pets and how
to care for them?
8. Do any of your neighbors have mobility,
vision or other conditions that could mean
they might need extra assistance after an
earthquake?
If you know your neighbors this well, you get
an A+. Neighbors who have emergency plans
to care for each other will be able to manage
any disaster.
If you don’t know your neighbors…become
a Block Leader and help build a strong,
stable community!
To arrange a block party and for information
on the block leader program, call 408.777.3331,
or visit www.cupertino.org.

CUPERTINO CUISINE
Cheery Comfort Foods
Last week I was down with a bad case of flu. I instantly
reached for my edible security blanket. The special food,
which makes me feel cozy, calms me down and convinces
my insides that everything is going to be all right. This
edible security blanket is simply Comfort food. Food that
slips down your alimentary canal with a relaxed, ‘‘Aaahhh.’’
The same sound that your feet make, (if only you could hear
them), when you kick off the stilettos for your bathroom
slippers, and feel at home again.
There is a universal connection to comfort food eaten all
around the world. It’s all to do with food that slips down
the throat easily, that doesn’t require much cutting or
chewing. Hot, nourishing, something you can slurp. The
immediate answer to a runny nose and a bout of homesick-
ness. For an American it would be macaroni and cheese, for
a Scottish it would be oatmeal and clotted cream, and for
an Indian it would be Rice and bean porridge Kitchadi
When the world – or the weather – seems harsh and cruel,
here are some of my favorite comfort food recipes to cuddle
up with and help bring a smile back to you, your friends,
and family.
Kitchadi is the special food, which transports me to another
time, another me, and brings back emotions of warmth and
caring. Every time anyone in our family came down with
cold or cough my grandma would make this rice and bean
porridge. She would carefully grind the spices and make
this humble dish, which had unique healing powers. The
yellow split bean are very easy to digest and quick cooking.
Here is my grandma’s version of the humble Kitchadi|
Wash the rice and bean mix and drain in a colander
Make a coarse mix of cumin, black pepper in a spice grinder
(or Coffee grinder used only for spices) In a thick-bottomed
pot add all ingredients except limejuice.
Cook on high heat for 5 minutes, without any lid. Add
limejuice and lower heat. Cover the pot with a tight fitting
lid and cook for 15 minutes on low heat. Remove from heat
but do not remove lid for next 10 minutes. The steam will
finish the process of cooking. Garnish with chopped carrots
and Serve with a dollop of ghee
Comfort food is basically a taste memory of childhood.
When I was growing up in India, I loved to read books
written by Enid Blyton. She was as popular as J K Rowling
is now. Enid Blyton wrote adventure and mystery series.
Some of my favorite books written by Enid Blyton were
Famous Five, Secret Seven, and Malory towers. The most
charming part of these series was the kids would solve
mysteries and have fun adventures with a lot of the wonder-
ful food. The treacle pudding, trifle puddings, scones, would
mesmerize me, marble cakes these adventurers would eat.
My mother, being a strict vegetarian would never cook these
foods at home, as all these recipes called for eggs.
Once I was very sick and I refused to eat Kitchadi that
she had made for me. I insisted on having creamy tomato
soup and croutons just like the kids in Enid Blyton series.
I felt like royalty getting soup in bed. (One of the rare
occasions when my mother gave into my tantrum) Here is
my mother’s version of creamy tomato soup without any
cream. (My mother was not very fond of cream)
Make a paste of peanuts, coconut, ginger and chili
with 1/4 cup water.
Add chopped tomatoes to make a smooth puree. Add the
tomato mix with 2 cups of water and boil for 3-5 minutes.
Add salt and pepper and serve piping hot with crouton
There are some days, so bad, so stressful, and so over-
whelming, that there is not a friend on this Earth, not a
backrub on the planet that could unknot your neck muscles.
It is on days like these I turn to food for comfort. I vividly
remember when I was in seventh grade, my friend and I,
had been, unfairly singled out in our class as troublemakers.
We had to run an extra mile at lunch break. That evening
I went to my friend’s house and we moaned and groaned
about how unfair life was. Her older sister who was had
just come back from college, got tired of hearing us whine.
She made this aromatic cream of wheat pudding to help
heal our bruised ego. It is no wonder that when the going
gets tough, we turn to foods that remind us of happy times
in our youth! So whether you’re nursing a bruised ego,
a broken heart or a common cold, it’s comfort food that
comes to the rescue. This special pudding always calms me
down and helps me put things in perspective.
Heat ghee or butter in a pan. Add cloves and wait until it
puffs up. Add cream of wheat and roast for 10 minutes on
low heat. Keep aside. In a pot add milk and saffron and
bring it to a boil. Add the roasted cream of wheat and
stir vigorously to remove any lumps. Cover and cook for 5
minutes on low heat. Add sugar and mix well. Cover the
lid again and let the steam finish the process of cooking.
Discard the peel of
cardamom and make
a coarse mix of the
seeds. Finally, add
almond powder and
cardamom powder and
mix well. Garnish with
dried cranberries and
serve piping hot.
