• A serious injury or fatal crashin which traffic investigators closedown the intersection for severalhours during the morning com-mute. This situation might warranta notification to subscribers wholive or work in the area, encour-aging them to select a differentroute to work.

Frank J. Evans Scholarship
Do you have a J unior or a Seniorin High School that is planning ongoing to college and may need
additional funds? We are pleasedto announce that the Frank J . Ev-ans Scholarship is available againthis year. The announcement let-ters and applications are in theoffice and posted on the bulletinboard in the Clubhouse and alsoin the El Toro. (See pp10-12)
Swimming Pool
The pool has been open for amonth and we would like to ad-dress a few issues that continue to
arise during the course of the swimseason:
1. Please do not apply your lo-tions before you enter the pool.
Apply the lotions after you haveused the pool and are sitting inthe sun. Please shower before us-ing the pool AFTER applying yourlotions. Your lotions are very hardon the equipment.
If it is noticed that you are ap-plying lotion and then enteringthe pool without showering youmay be warned and then askedto leave the facility for the day.
2. Do not allow anyone to usethe facilities that you do not know.
This means do not open the gatefor individuals you do not person-ally know. If they say they live herethey should have access to a key.
3. Please wear the proper swim
attire.4. Do not allow your children un-
der the age of 14 to use the poolfacilities while you are not present.
5. There is a strict limit of ONLY4 (FOUR) visitors per home in thepool at any time. This, of course, issubject to the actual usage of thepool by residents.
Lot Inspections
We have been doing the annual
lot inspections and have noticedthat while many of the spaces arerequiring little if any maintenance,there are a few that only requiresome weeding. The weather hasbeen very pleasant, the groundhas not gotten too difficult to workin, so it may be the perfect time toget after those pesky weeds.
Guests
We would like to speak to thesubjec t of “guests”.
Are you aware that, in mostcases, a “guest” or a “roommate”can only stay with you in yourhome for Sixty (60 days)?
Please consult the rules andregulations of Spanish Ranch fora more detailed explanation of Guests.

PLEASE NOTE MEETING LOCATION!! SMALL CLUBHOUSE
Spanish Ranch I
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
NEXT MEETING:
TUESDAY,JUNE 11, 2013
7:00 p.m.
Come to the
SMALL CLUBHOUSEGranada Drive at Cartagena
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 wasn’tworth reporting, or “the police won’t do anything anyway?”
If they don’t know it happened, how can they stop it f rom happening again?
Let the police know about that fountain stolen from your yard, or the tools takenfrom your driveway or porch. File a report about the unidentified car that mowed downyour mailbox or ran over your solar lights. It might seem trivial, and you’re probablyright that nobody will come and investigate, but statistics count.
Reporting is cri tical 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 with
the Hayward Police Department.
CRIME PREVENTION TIP
WHAT ISSUSPICIOUS?
CALL THE POLICE ABOUT ALL
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY
Do not hesitate to call the po-
lice. It is important for the publicto feel comfortable when calling
the police. If you think you should
call the police, dial (510) 293-7000
(non-emergency) or 9-1-1 for a
life-threatening emergency or a
crime-in-progress.
Don’t assume that someone else
has called the police. Don’t worry
about “bothering” the police and
don’t worry about being embar-
rassed if your suspicions prove un-
founded. It is better to ac t than to
think about what could happen if
you didn’t act at all.
REPORTING NON EMERGENCIES
The dispatch communications
center is busy at times and may
ask that you hold on the line.
Please be patient. When your call
is answered, be prepared to give
complete information about who
it happened to, what happened,
where it happened, when or howlong ago, and any weapons used.
Give cross streets for locations and
license plates for vehicle descrip-
tions. It is also a good idea to up-
date dispatch on information as
situations change.
Please remember that just be-
cause you see the police in your
neighborhood frequently, or you
see a patrol car pass by, that the
police know everything that goes
on there. They depend on you to
be the eyes and ears for them.
You have important information
that they don’t always see or hear
from a patrol car.

Clubhouses availablefor your events!
Both the main clubhouse and the smallclubhouse may be reserved by
residents for private events.
The BBQ and patio area next to the poolmay also be reserved,
Call the of fice, 783-5535, for information.
Every year in the United States, we celebrate
the Fourth of July with community parades, pic-nics, barbecues, and fireworks — the things of which happy memories are made. But sadly,Independence Day also includes tragic eventsresulting from fireworks use. The safest way toenjoy them is through public displays conductedby professional pyro-technicians hired by com-munities.
All fireworks are banned in Hayward and theFairview Fire Protection District. Why? Fireworkscan be dangerous, and severe injuries can becaused from fireworks. An estimated 9,800 peo-
ple – an average of more than 26 people everyday– were treated in emergency departments forinjuries sustained from fireworks, and more thanhalf of those injured were children.
More than two of every three fireworks-relatedinjuries occur between June 22 and July 22. Duringthat time period:
• More than 4 of every 10 people injured werechildren under 15 years of age.
• People under twenty sustained more than half (54%) of all injuries from fireworks.
• People actively participating in fireworks–related activities are more frequently and severelyinjured than bystanders.
• Most injuries result from being too close tofireworks when they explode.
Availability: In spite of federal regulations andvarying state and local prohibitions, many typesof fireworks are still accessible to the public.Distributors often sell fireworks near state borders,where laws prohibiting sales on either side of theborder may differ.
Any firecracker with more than 50 milligrams of
explosive powder and any aerial firework with morethan 130 milligrams of flash powder are bannedunder federal law, as are mail order kits and com-ponents designed to build these fireworks.
However, 92% of the fireworks injuries treatedin hospital emergency rooms involved fireworksthat Federal regulations permit consumers to use.
Fireworks type: Among the various types of fireworks, some of which are sold legally in somestates, bottle rockets can fly into peoples’ facesand cause eye injuries or start roof fires; sparklers
can ignite clothing. Sparklers burn at more than
1,200°F this is hot enough to cause third degreeburns; and firecrackers can injure the hands orface if they explode at close range.
Damage associated with fireworks:
• 30,100-Estimated number of fires caused byfireworks each year.
• These fires resulted in $34 million in directproperty damage.
• Younger children often lack the physical coor-dination to handle fireworks safely.
• There were 1,100 injuries associated with
sparklers, many never being reported.• Sparklers cause 200 injuries to children less
than 5 years of age.
• Think about your pet. Animals have sensitiveears and can be extremely frightened or stressedon the Fourth of July. Keep pets indoors to reducethe risk that they’ll run loose or get injured.
The safest way to prevent fireworks-relatedinjuries and to keep your family protected is toattend fireworks displays and leave the lighting totrained professionals. Don’t allow kids to pick uppieces of fireworks after an event. Some may stillbe ignited and can explode at any time.
Remember, All Fireworks are prohibited (thisincludes all “Safe and Sane” fireworks) withinHayward and the Fairview Fire Protection District.
