    ANY CRIME IS WORTH REPORTING!Have you had something stolen from your property or vehicle? Or

    suffered damage to your yard, your house or your car but figured it wasntworth reporting, or the police wont do anything anyway?

    If they dont know it happened, how can they stop it from happening again?

    Let the police know about that fountain stolen from your yard, or the tools

    taken from your driveway or porch. File a report about the unidentified car that

    mowed down your mailbox or ran over your solar lights. It might seem trivial, andyoure probably right that nobody will come and investigate, but statistics count.

    Reporting is critical to get city personnel and resourcesdirected to areas where they are most needed.

    FOR ONLINE POLICE REPORTING go towww.hayward-ca.gov/departments/policeClick button on left: File a police report online

    There is a step-by-step guide to filing a police report over theinternet. It provides a quick and efficient way to file a police report

    You can easily save energy inthe winter by setting the thermo-stat to 68F (20C) when youre athome and awake, and lowering itwhen youre asleep or away. Thisstrategy is effective and inexpen-sive if you are willing to adjust the

    thermostat by hand and wake upin a chilly house.

    In the summer, you can follow thesame strategy with central air condi-tioning, too, by keeping your housewarmer than normal when you areaway, and lowering the thermostatsetting to 78F (26C) only when youare at home and need cooling.

    A common misconception associ-ated with thermostats is that a furnaceworks harder than normal to warmthe space back to a comfortable

    temperature after the thermostat hasbeen set back, resulting in little or nosavings. This misconception has beendispelled by years of research andnumerous studies. The fuel requiredto reheat a building to a comfort-able temperature is roughly equal tothe fuel saved as the building dropsto the lower temperature. You savefuel between the time that the tem-perature stabilizes at the lower leveland the next time heat is needed. So,the longer your house remains at the

    lower temperature, the more energyyou save.

    Another misconception is that the

    higher you raise a thermostat, themore heat the furnace will put out, orthat the house will warm up faster ifthe thermostat is raised higher.

    Furnaces put out the same amountof heat no matter how high the ther-mostat is setthe variable is how long

    it must stay on to reach the set tem-perature.

    In the winter, significant savings canbe obtained by manually or auto-matically reducing your thermostatstemperature setting for as little as fourhours per day. These savings can beattributed to a buildings heat loss inthe winter, which depends greatly onthe difference between the insideand outside temperatures. For exam-ple, if you set the temperature backon your thermostat for an entire night,

    your energy savings will be substan-tial. By turning your thermostat back10 to 15 for 8 hours, you can saveabout 5% to 15% a year on your heat-ing billa savings of as much as 1%for each degree if the setback periodis eight hours long. The percentageof savings from setback is greater forbuildings in milder climates than forthose in more severe climates.

    In the summer, you can achievesimilar savings by keeping the indoortemperature a bit higher when youre

    away than you do when youre athome.

    More Energy Saving Tips from PG&E

    IF ITS NOTYOURS, DONT

    FEED IT!(and if it is yours,

    keep it inside)Sure, you feel sorry for that stray cat

    or dog, but if you feed it, it WILL stick around and per-haps not go back to its rightful family.

    Dont leave pet food outside! Food left out will attractraccoons, stray pets, opossums, and other varmints!

    Only indoor pets are permitted in the park so dontencourage outside animals to stay!

    Plumbingissues:Please do not flush:

    baby wipes disposable diapers
