Encountering a cougar while strolling through a local Livermore park might seem like a rare chance, but the ranger staff for the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District want to make sure park-goers are prepared. Even if it’s something as simple as locking the car, it’s never too soon to think about safety precautions.
LARPD Ranger Patti Cole will offer a free
presentation, “Personal Safety in Parks,” co-sponsored by the Livermore
Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association. This is the first time for the
presentation at LARPD.
Individuals and families who use LARPD parks, whether it be the expansive
Sycamore Grove Regional Park or a smaller neighborhood park, can stand to
benefit from this presentation. The presentation will cover topics such as
hiking with children and checking playground equipment, plus much more.
The LARPD ranger staff is hoping to raise people’s general awareness through this presentation. Oftentimes, because it is rare to have any significant law enforcement issues arise in the parks, visitors can become complacent and leave purses, cell phones, wallets and other valuables in visible sight in their cars while they enjoy the park. In addition to these types of concerns, the regional parks especially have a variety of wildlife. The more people know about the creatures in the parks, the more likely they are to have a pleasant experience.
“Personal Safety in Parks” is free to attend and will be held from 7 to 9
p.m. Tuesday, June 2, at the Robert Livermore Community Center, 4444 East
Ave., Livermore. Reservations are suggested by calling LARPD at 925-960-2400
or 925-373-5700.

How do you spell H-I-T? In the Broadway play and Tony-Award winning new musical comedy THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. SPELLING BEE has been hailed by the Wall Street Journal as “perfect in every possible way – that rarity of rarities, a super-smart musical that is also a bona fide crowd pleaser.” “Funniest Thing in Seven Consonants” (The Washington Post)

Can a wheel reinvent itself while it's still rolling? Sounds like an impossible task -- but you never want to say "impossible" to Asleep at the Wheel. Led by guitarist and vocalist Ray Benson the band has not only been entertaining audiences with its own genre-busting music for nearly four decades, but has never been afraid to try something new -- including a reinvention, inspired by the past, that rolls joyously toward a long and shining future. This legendary outfit is riding a wave of success with its Western swing, boogie, and roots-music.

“Lark in the Park,” led my a museum docent and sponsored by Pleasanton’s Museum On Main, takes you one Saturday each month to one of Pleasanton’s local parks and helps you explore the local history that surrounds it. Participants begin each event at the designated park where the activities will take place.
This month is a visit to Moller Park. All events are from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
An information sheet on each park will be handed out. Photos of the parks will be available for purchase, $5 for one quality photo; $1 for one photocopy. An activity related to that park’s history will be presented. Yearly membership in the Lark in the Park is $25 per person and includes passport, binder, and one photo of each park’s special history.
Donations are gratefully accepted and a portion will go toward the Museum’s Educational Scholarship Fund. The goal this year is to raise $1,000 for a competitive scholarship between the two high schools. Next year plans are to have scholarship programs for both schools.
