BRIGHTER DAYS FOR HERCULES!
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. As this article is being
written, a subcommittee of the City Council and Planning
As our Olympic Team competed for the Gold at the XIX
Commission are reviewing the first subnlissions on the
Olympic Games of Salt Lake 2002, we all watched the
project. With funnal review ofthe project set for April, it
best athletes our nation had to offer, competing and giving

this year.
twelve months we have seen America at its very best.
•
From the tragedy of September eleventh, to the War on
Terrorism, to the Olympic Games; we have been on the
world's stage and the world has watched our nation not
merely survive but shine. Here in Hercules we often boast
of our city's cultural and racial diversity, we boast of how
well we all live and work together. Each day laskyou to
remember how important we all are.
Our community is experiencing a metamorphosis that will,
for the next 100 years, establish Hercules as one of the
prenlier locations in West Contra Costa County. From
the Capital Corridor Train Station and Waterfront, to the
Neo-Traditional Town Center a well-planned community
is well on its way toward reality.

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. A fu ll list
of prevention tips is available at the Police Department or on

Changes in law for 2002
Child Safety Seat Changes
As our city streets and highways become more and more
crowded, it becomes more important to protect our most
precious cargo, our children. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
