Over the next 12 months we will all witness the beginning ofa brighter day for Hercules. All of us on the City Council are very excited about the development that is being created. There are still many challenges for our community. We have worked hard to bring commercial development to Hercules, to create a dependable source of sales tax revenue. The cost of delivering essential city services like public safety grows each year and we need a way to pay for them withont asking for additional property taxes. As the new development begins to take shape, there will be construction projects all over Hercules. One ofthe first major street projects will be the extension of Sycamore from San Pablo to the Waterfront development. Our project with Home Depot continues to work its way through the approval process.

Over 50 percent of the vehicles taken were Toyotas or Hondas. The Police Department has continued street-level enforcement effoI1S. Hercules officers recovered 64 vehicles from Hercules and other jurisdictions and made 18 arrests fo r auto thefts in 200 I. Ninety percent of all vehicles taken from Hercules in 200 I were recovered by January 15,2002. 14) T-·---· ~--. - . I 126 120 r 12:1 I 102 ~ 100 " In addition to Patrol efforts, Hercules Police also coordinate or assist with at least one Auto Theft Task Force Operation each U ~ year. This is a combined effort with the California Highway Patrol, Pinole Police Department, Contra Costa Sheriff, Parole, & Probation. These are highly visible operations and target areas of high auto theft and suspects that are wanted or on parole or probation for auto theft. lncreasing citi zen awareness is one of the more effective ways of combating auto theft. Remember to lock your vehicle every time you leave it. Never leave your vehicle unattended with the keys in the ignition (not even in your driveway). Steering \",'heel locks, alarms, kill switches, and other devices are a good idea if you own a high-risk vehicle or frequently use commuter lots or other areas of concentrated outdoor parking.

In order to keep our children safe in the event of a collision, the State of California has enacted new child safety seat laws. These laws are as follows: Vehicle Code Section 27360(a) No parent or legal guardian, when present in a motor vehicle, as defined in section 27315, shall pennit his or her child or ward to be transported upon a highway in the motor vehicle without providing and properly securing the child or ward, in a child passenger restraint system meeting applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards unless the child or ward is at least six years of age or older or weighs 60 pound or more Vehicle Code Section 27360(b) No driver shall transport upon a highway any child in a motor vehicle, as defined in section 27315, without providing and properly securing the child in a child passenger restraint system meeting applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards unless the child or ward is at least six years of age or older or weighs 60 pound or more. The new law requires any child who is under 6 years of age and weighs less than 60 pounds to be secured in a child passenger restraint system (child safety seat). If a child is at least 6 years of age or weighs 60 pounds or more, that child is not required to be secured in a child safety seat. Examples: A 5-year-old child weighing 55 pounds ~ required to be in a child safety seat. A 5-year-old child weighing 63 pounds is not required to be in a child safety seat. A 6-year-old child weighing 50 pounds is not required to be in a child safety seat. If you have any question regarding the new child safety seat laws or you would like your child safety seat inspected, please contact Officer Herbert, the Department's certified child safety seat technician, at (510) 799-8276 or via email at therbert@ci.hercules.ca.us. Officer Herbert will be happy to set up an appointment with you to have your seat inspected to insure it is installed properly and has not been recalled. Officer Herbert is available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and every other Wednesday, 7 :00 a.m. to 7 :00 p.m. MOST FREOUENT CALLS False Alarms Suspicious Circumstances Juvenile Complaints Miscellaneous Disturbances Other Calls: Assaults Burglary Residential Automobile Auto Theft Vandalism Oct Nov Dec 74 21 14 18 83 37 12 15 80 32 12 17 7 6 4 10 23 9 4 13 12 12 9 8 13 12 7 Although we saw a slight decrease in Auto Burglary & Residential Burglary in November and December, these property crimes contribute significantly to overall crime in Hercules. Total Burglaries are up from 53 in 2000 to 108 in 200 I. Other thefts are up from 215 in 2000 to 271 in 200 I. With the increase in property crimes, citizens need to be alert for suspicious activity and report in progress crimes immediately. Spring 2002 Herculean 9 Public Safety Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District Fire and Emergency Services Training The Rodeo-Hercules Fire District is working to establish an ROP (Regional Occupation Program) for high school students in fire training and emergency service. This twoyear program, will begin in the junior year of high school will be modeled after a very successful program at Mariposa High School, home to the Mariposa High-Grizzly Fire Department. Establishedjust 6 years ago, this high school fire-training program provides local youth the oppmtunity to explore a career in the fire service. Successfhl graduates of this class receive a Firefighter 1 Certificate and EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) Certificate. This allows those youth who have successfully completed and graduated the program to be qualified to apply for and most often successfully compete in examinations for the position ofFirefigbter. Empbasis on what being a firefighter is about makes these classes very popular with students. They know they are getting an edge on those who do not have the oppmtunity to learn what the fire service is really about. Aptitude and physical conditioning are vitally important to future firefighters. Preparation for the recently adopted "tougher" Physical Agility Test gives students an opportunity to appreciate wby firefigbters must be in top condition both mentally and pbysically. If you are cunently a higb school sophomore or junior and are interested in infonnation on this program you can contact the Rodeo-Hercules Fire District at (51 0) 7994561. All scbool districts in our area will be contacted as to tbeir interest in paliicipating in this class. John Swett High School District bas already committed to this program for the 2002-2003 school year to begin in September 2002 . This is not an easy class and will be valuable to those who conunit and successfully complete the program. 1 a Spring 2002 Herculean FIRE PREVENTION IN THE HOME In 1999, according to the National Fire Protection Association, 3,570 Americans were killed and another 21,875 were injured as a result ofpre. Direct property loss due to pres was estimated at $10 billion. Fire killed more Americans than all natural disasters combined. 82% of all pre deaths occurred in residences. With these startling statistics in mind, here are some safety tips for you: SMOKE DETECTORS Smoke is responsible for three out of four deaths. • Install smoke detectors on every level of your home and outside of sleeping areas. • Test every detector at least once a month. [See your instruction book for the location of the test button.] Keep smoke detectors dust free. Replace batteries with new ones at least once a year, or sooner if the detector makes a chirping sound. • If you have a smoke detector directly wired into your electrical system, be sure that the little signal light is blinking periodically. This tells you that the alarm is active. • Inexpensive smoke detectors are available for the hearing impaired. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS They remain your best bet if you're on the spot when a fire begins. • Fire extinguishers should be mounted in the kitchen, garage, and workshop. • Purchase an ABC type extinguisher for extinguishing all types of fires . Learn how to use your fire extinguisher before there IS an emergency. • Remember; use an extinguisher on small fires only. If there is a large fire, get out immediately and call 911 from another location. Public Safety Fire Prevention In The Home THINKING AHEAD: Your Exit Plan • • • Never leave cooking unattended. It·s wise to have a fire extinguisher near the kitchen. Keep it to feet away from the stove on the exit side of the kitchen. Never pour water on a grease fire; turn off the stove and cover the pan with a lid, or close the oven door. Keep pot handles on the stove pointing to the back, and always watch young children in the kitchen. Don't store items on the stovetop, as they could catch fire. Keep kitchen appliances clean and in good condition, and turn them off and disconnect them when not in use. Don't overload kitchen electrical outlets and don't use appliances with frayed or cracked wires. Wear tight-fitting clothing when you cook. Here's why: An electrical coil on the stove reaches a temperature of 800 degrees. A gas flame goes over 1,000 degrees. Your dishtowel or potholder can catch fire at 400 degrees. So can your bathrobe, apron, or loose sleeve. Be sure your stove is not located under a window in which curtains are hanging. Clean the exhaust hood and duct over the stove regularly. and wipe up spilled grease as soon as the surface of the stove is cool. Operate your microwave only when there is food in it. As with other things, the best motto is, "Be Prepared." • Prepare a floor plan of your home showing at least two ways out of each room. • Sleep with your bedroom door closed. In tbe event of fire, it helps to hold back heat and smoke. But if a door feels hot, do not open it; escape through another door or window. • Easy-to-use window escape ladders are available through many catalogues and outlet stores. For instance, First Alert sells one for around $90. • Agree on a fixed location out-of-doors wbere family members are to gather for a head count. • Stay together away from the fire . Call 9 11 from another location. Make certain that no one goes back inside the burning building. • Check corridors and stairways to make sure they are free of obstructions and combustibles. • To help cut down on the need for an emergency exit in the first place, clear all unnecessary items from the attic, basement, garage, and closets. • When lighting a gas space heater, strike your match first, then turn on the gas. • Never use a gas range as a substitute for a furnace or space heater. • CLOTHES DRYER GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS Under some circumstances, dangerous heat can build up in a dryer. • Never leave home with the clothes dryer running. • Dryers must be vented to the outside, not into a wall or attic. • Clean the lint screen frequently to keep the auway clear. • Never put in synthetic fabrics, plastic, lUbber, or foam because they retain heat. Those cans aren't painted red just for the fun of it! Flarnmable liquids shonld be stored only in approved safety containers, and the containers should be kept outside the house and garage in a separate storage shed. Gas up lawn equipment and snow throwers outside, away from enclosed areas and any source of sparks or heat. Start the eqnipment 10 feet fi'om where you filled it with fuel. Don 't fill a hot lawn mower, snow thrower, or other motor; let it cool first. Never clean floors or do other general cleaning with gasoline or flammable liquids. KITCHEN Careless cooking is the number one cause of residential fires. • • • • • • • • Spring 200:;;' Herculean 11 Public Safety Rodeo Hercules Fire Protection District Bicycle Injury Facts Forty percent of the 99 million riders in the United States are children ages 14 and under. This age group rides about 50 percent more than the average bicyclist and accou nts fo r more than one-third of all bicycle-related deaths in addi tion to 65 percent of a ll bicycle-related injuries. Bicycles are assoc iated with more childhood injuries than any other consumer product except the automobile. In 1993, six children were killed, more than 10,000 suffered from head injuries and more than 22,000 suffered from face injuries. When and Where Deaths and Injuries Occur Children ages 14 and under are more likely to die from bicycle crashes in urban areas (60 percent), at non-intersection locations (72 percent), during the months of May to September (56 percent) and between noon and 9:00 pm (62 percent). Head injury is the leading cause of death in bicycle crashes and is the most important determinant of bicycle-related death and permanent disability. Head injuries account for more tban 60 percent of bicycle related deaths and about one-third of hospital emergency room treated bicycling injuries. The most effective safety device available to reduce bead injuries and fatalities from bicycle crasbes is a bicycle helmet. Other protective safety equipment, including retro-reflective material, headlights and taillights, can also belp prevent or mitigate bicycle-re lated injuries and eYen deaths. The risk of sustaining an injury in non-daylight conditions (e.g. at dawn, dusk or night) is 3.6 times greater for children ages 14 and under than riding during the daytime. D eaths and Injuries Who Is At Risk Each year approximately 250 children ages 14 and under are killed in bicycle-related incidents. Due to differences in risk exposure and lifestyle, the fa tality rate for males is greater than that for females at all ages. :\inety percent of bicycle related deaths (all ages) are the result of collisions with motor vehicles. Children between the ages of 5 and 14 have a death rate more than two times the death rate of all other bicycle riders. The fata lity rate rises rapidly beginning at about age 4 and is the highest among 12 to 14 year olds. In 1994, almost 400,000 chi ldren ages 14 and under were treated in emergency rooms for bicycle related injuries. Approximately 10 percent ofthese injuries were related to collisions w ith motor vehicles. Children ages 14 and under are approximately six times more like ly to be injured than children ages 15 and older from bicycle-related crashes. 12 Spring 2002 Herculean For chi ldren, cycling on streets is about 3.4 times the risk of riding on unpaved surfaces and e ight times riskier than riding on bike paths. Children ages 9 and under are at risk for bicycle-related head injuries. Bicycle Helmet Effectiveness Bicycle helmets have been shown to reduce the risk of head injury by as much as 85 percent and the risk of brain injury by as much as 88 percent. Universal use ofblke helmets hy children ages 4 to 15 would prevent between 135 and 155 deaths, between 39,000 and 45 ,000 head injuries, and between 18,000 and 55,000 scalp and face injuries annually. (Article continued on page 13.) Public Safety Rodeo Hercules Fire Protection District Bicycle Injury Facts Nationwide, only 15 percent of children ages 14 and under use bicycle helmets. However, 85 percent of children who own bicycle helmets use them. Bicycle Helmet Laws To date, 13 states have enacted some form of bicycle helmet legislation, most of which covers only young riders. None of the 50 states has a bicycle helmet law that applies to all riders. (Continued) Buy a bicycle helmet that meets or exceeds the safety standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANZI) Z-90.4, the Snell Memorial Foundation B90 or the American Society for testing and Materials (ASTM) F1447. Learn the rules of the road and obey traffic laws. Ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, not against; use appropriate hand signals; respect traffic signals; stop at all intersections, marked and unmarked; and stop and look both ways before entering a street. Cycling should be restricted to sidewalks, paths and driveways until a child is able to show how well she or he rides and observes the basic rules of the road.

Washington D.C. 20010-2970 (202) 884-499 - (301) 650-8038 Fax Health Care Costs and Savings Every $15 bike helmet saves this country $30 in direct health care costs and an additional $365 in other costs to society. If 85 percent of all child cyclists wore bicycle helmets in one year, the lifetime medical cost savings would total between $109 million and $142 million. Prevention Tips A bicycle helmet is a necessity, not an accessory. Always wear a bicycle helmet every time you ride. Wear a bicycle helmet con·ectly. A bicycle helmet should fit comfortably and snugly, but not too tightly. It should sit on top of your head in a level position, and should not rock forward and back or from side to side. The helmet straps must always be buckled.
