MAYOR EXTENDS INVITATION TO COMMUNITY

entertainment, exhibits and culinary treats from the
Philippines.

Summer is finally upon us. And with it come not only
family activities but also community events that Hercules
residents look forward to enjoying at this time of year.
There are lots of things happening, so fasten your seats
belts Hercules!
Summer Festivities
We start off with a big bang - the 27th Annual Cultural
Fair to be held on Saturday, June 4th and Sunday, June
5th • It's the eventthat brings out the best in our community:
working together, enjoying each other's company, relishing
the delicious international culinary treats, listening to great
entertainment, and just plain relaxing.
The following weekend, Saturday, June 11 th is PI2005,
the 5th annual festival celebrating the Philippine
independence day. This free event for the whole family
will be held at the Community Swim Center from 11 a.rn.
The summer wouldn't be complete without the July 4'"
Independence Day festivities. This year's parade
promises to outdo last year's event so don't miss out.
After the parade, there will be activities for everyone at
Refugio Park, and we will continue to have the evening
fireworks at the waterfront. Special thanks to the Hercules
Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring the celebrations.
Refugio Lake Restoration
These summer events will be more enjoyable now that
the city has completed the process of restoring the lake to
its original depth. This involved dredging and removing
years of accumulated silt that had decreased the depth
from 20 feet to about a foot in some places that encouraged
weed growth and diminished the fish population. The
city is committed to assuring that Refugio Park and the
lake will continue to be the centerpiece ofthe community's
outdoor recreation facilities.
Hercules Library
After many years of planning, there is finally daylight at
the end of the tunnel. The Hercules Library project has
finally taken on a new dimension: the bulldozers are on
their way, and the actual construction is about to begin!
For starters, on May 14, 2005 we held the official
groundbreaking at the building site that was attended by
many of you in the community. Construction will finally
begin this summer.
What made this possible? Through a state voter-approved
funding, Hercules was one of only two Bay Area cities,

Hercules Community Library Foundation
Hercules Library Coming Soon!
The ground breaking for the Hercules Community Library was held May 14. Construction will take about 18 months
and our dream will become a reality.
With construction set to stalt this summer, our attention has turned to fundraising. In fact, representatives from local
non-profit groups have been meeting to plan and organize fun and exciting fundraising events. These fundraising
workshops are held at City Hall, the first Saturday of each month. Everyone is welcome; workshops start at 9:00am
and provide a relaxed and positive atmosphere to exchange ideas, give input, and to become involved.
There are many great ways you can help the library, from used book sales sponsored by the Friends of the Hercules
Library to proceeds from Barnes and Noble; children's artwork or a casino night. Watch for the Hercules Leo's
Children's Tile Project. An array of exciting events is in progress.
The Friends of the Library have committed the proceeds from their book sales to buy books for the new library. Be
certain to stop by the Friends of the Hercules Library Cultural Festival booth to shop at their special "Summer
Reader Book Sale". The next Friends Used Book Sale will be Saturday, September 24, at Hercules City Hall.
Want new books to add to your summer reading library? Perhaps pre-order the new Harry Potter book? Shop at
Barnes & Noble, located at 4000 Klose Way, Richmond (by Hilltop Mall) on Saturday, June 18 (the day before
Father's Day) and present the special Hercules Library voucher to the cashier. 15% of your purchase price will be
donated to the library. Please use the voucher between 10:00am and 2:00pm in order to credit the library.
The Hercules Community Library Foundation has created a website, www.herculeslibrary.com. that provides
detailed information about how you can become an active library supporter: attend fundraising events (check the
Events Calendar), donate books to the Friends Used Book Sales (use donation box located in the photo department
at Albertsons), shop the Barnes & Noble event on June 18 (use the Hercules Library voucher), come to an Authors
and Lecture Series, have your group sponsor an event, fill out a pledge card, and/or designate the Hercules

Hercules High School Interact Club
Club Says Goodbye To Current Officers
Graduation Day, June 11,2005, will represent the end of an era for the Hercules High School Interact Club, the on
campus community service club. It will also represent a new beginning.
When Hercules Middle High School opened in September 2001, the Interact Club was one of the fIrst clubs
formed on campus. The four young ladies who started the club were juniors at the time and had transferred from
Pinole Valley High School. Each graduated in June 2003 and went on to college. One oftheir legacies, as
founders, was to encourage underclass students to join the Interact Club. This year, the Interact Club will say
goodbye to its current offIcers, each of whom have been in the Club for 3 to 4 years.

Treasurer:
Irene Lee ... member for 3 years; President for 2 years
N goc Thanh Le ... member for 4 years; VP for 2 years
Carrie Fong ... member for 4 years; Secretary for 2 years
Dung Dao ... member for 4 years; Treasurer for 4 years
During these four years, the Interact Club has grown to become one of the largest clubs on campus. This past
school year, the Club had over 50 active members, many of whom were freshmen or sophomores. It is from this
group that the new leaders will emerge.
The Interact Club's primary mission is to perform community service proj ects. The members participated in both
large and small projects throughout the school year. Twice this past year, Club members helped the Friends ofthe
Hercules Library set up for their book sale, assisted the Christmas Coalition by having a gift-wrapping paper drive,
decorated and staffed Santa's Workshop at the City's Annual Tree Lighting Event, and wrapped gifts forthe
children whom the Coalition serves. Last Fall, Interact Club members helped the Rotary Club with the distribution
of dictionaries to the 3rd grade students in Rodeo and
Hercules. Members also participated in the City's
Annual Clean-up Day. A few Club members made
holiday cards for the residents ofthe Rodeo Home for
the Elderly.
The major fundraisers for the Interact Club included
working at the Crab Feeds hosted by the Rotary Club
of Hercules and the Rodeo Chamber of Commerce.
With some of these funds, the Club made a contribution
to the RotalY International's South Asia Tsunami Relief
Fund, and made a contribution to the Rotary's
Dictionary Fund.

Contra Costa County Mosquito and Vector Control Board
Are You Prep'a red for West Nne Virus?
West Nile virus made its debut in Contra Costa County
last year. This year, the Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector
Control District (District) continues to fight against the
spread ofthis mosquito-borne disease. Working together
with homeowners and the community, the District is
committed to reducing the risk of contracting the disease
that last year claimed the lives of28 Southern California
residents as well as 230 horses.
Experts predict that Northern California will be the focus
for West Nile virus this year. West Nile Virus (WNV) is a
viral infection of birds that is spread from bird to bird by
mosquitoes. Humans, horses, and other animals can
become infected with the virus when infected mosquitoes
bite them.
Some people infected with West Nile virus may develop
West Nilefever. The symptoms may range from mild to
severe flu-like symptoms such as headache and fever to a
polio-like illness that includes partial paralysis. Anyone
can contract the disease, but persons over the age of 50
are more likely to develop serious illness from West Nile
virus~
for more than a couple of days, such as un-maintained
swimming pools, backyard ornamental ponds, discarded
tires, clogged rain gutters, pool and boat covers, flower
pots, toys, etc.
* Report dead birds. Toll free number: 1-877-WNVBIRD,(1-:877-9,68-2473) or www.westnile.ca.gov
Not all birds will be picked up and tested, but reporting
dead birds is important information for mosquito control
efforts.
* Repair Wiiulow ana d oor screens.
* Wear long sleeves and p ants when mosquitoes are
present.
* Use a repeDent containing the ingredient DEET.
* Vaccinate hotses~ Nearly half of the horses that
contract WNV die or are put down.
* Visit the n.istrict to obtain FREE mosquitofish for
backyard. ponds and horse troughs. Mosquitofish
eat up to'5 00 larvae each day.
Services: mosquitoes, rats and mice, yellowjackets, ticks,
and skunks. No charge to Contra Costa County residents
and business owners.
Contra. Costa Mosquito & Vector Control District has
been protecting public health for nearly 80 years. This
year we have doubled our workforce and tripled our
education personnel to combat West Nile virus; however,
every resident plays a crucial part in helping to reduce
their risk ofcontracting WNV by not breeding mosquitoes
in their yards. Backyards are the number one source of
mosquitoes in Contra Costa County.
Help "fightthe bite":
*Remove standing water on your property.
Hundreds of mosquitoes can breed in just tablespoons of
water. They can breed in anything thatholds standing water

EARTHQUAKE PREPAREDNESS
In the midst of a large scale emergency such as an
earthquake there is a limited supply of resources. Often
stores are closed, gas pumps may not operate, ATMs may
not work, and emergency personnel are taxed beyond their
capabilities. Phone lines may not work and you might have
to fend for yourself for days, if not weeks.
Are you prepared?
It is our hope that you already have your emergency
Officer Audrey Lake
At the April 26, 2005 meeting, the Hercules City Council
recognized Officer Audrey Lake for her actions in saving
a PG&E employee who was being mauled by a large dog
earlier this year. The incident occurred when Officer Lake
was on patrol on the afternoon of March 16 th in the area
of Pheasant Drive, and saw a man on the ground being
attacked by a large dog. The dog, a Bull Mastiffweighing
over 120 pounds, held a secure bite grip on the upper thigh
of the victim, a PG&E meter reader making his rounds.
The dog was violently shaking the victim when Officer
Lake arrived. She tried to distract the dog by striking it in
the head several times with her night stick, however, this
had no effect. Officer Lake finally incapacitated the animal
by shooting it with her police firearm. She then performed
[lfst aid on the injured man and summoned an ambulance.
The victim sustained serious injuries to his leg and was
taken by ambulance to a local hospital. He is recovering
from wounds that could have been life-threatening had
Officer Lake not arrived when she did.
Officer Lake was commended in a Proclamation from the
City Council for her courage as well as her swift and
appropriate use of force, under extremely stressful
circumstances.

weapon or any sling shot within the City of Hercules. "
Shooting or carrying bb or pellet guns is against the law in
Hercules. Even more important, carrying or displaying one
of these weapons could result in unnecessary violence and
harm if it is mistaken for a real firearm.
Parents should think twice before allowing your child to
acquire or possess look-alike firearms . Children should
only be allowed to use them under the supervision of an
adult and in a location where legal.
For further information on this issue, please contact Chief
Fred Deltorchio at (510) 799-8262.
Public Safety
Hercules Police
Local Youths Named "Police Officer for a Day"
Chief Fred Deltorchio swears in Shirley Marshall and Alex Escalada as Police Officers for a Day
On March 30th, the Hercules Police Department welcomed two new members to the force. St. Patrick Elementary
School students Shirley Marshall and Alex Escalada became Police Officers for a Day. After taking their oath of
office and receiving their certificates of appointment, Shirley and Alex took a tour of the department and were issued
their equipment for the day. They briefed with fellow officers and after reviewing pictures of a local wanted person,
Shirley commented, "J want to take her down."
Before the end of their shift, Officers Shirley and Alex did, indeed, locate and arrest the wanted persons they saw in
the pictures. After booking their suspects, Shirley and Alex were treated to an authentic cop meal: Cheeseburgers
and fries. Neither showed any interest in the box ofKrispy Kreme donuts which accompanied their lunch.
It was a fun and educational experience for everyone, whether cops for a day or cops everyday!

breakthrough
piano method
from Australia
opens musical doors
for everyone
Simply Music® is a remarkable,
Australian-developed piano and
keyboard program that has beginning
students - children , teens, adults and
seniors playing great-sounding pop,
blues, classical and accompaniment
pieces - immediately - from their very
first lessons.
Traditional lessons , for the most part,
require that students first learn to read
music as the means of learning how to
play. This 'read first, play later'
approach is slow and frustrating, and
far too many students never acquire
the ability to play. In fact, many lose
their desire to learn altogether.
Think of Simply Music as being like .
'Iearning to talk. We all talked for years
before we learned how to read and
spell. It's the same with our program.
We delay the music reading process
and start by showing you how to play
fantastic music - immediately.
Beginning students, with no attention
on having to read music, are free to
relate directly to the piano, and within
months easily and naturally begin to
establish a 'hands-on' and personal
'feeling' for the instrument as they
build a play-list that includes popular,
classical , blues and jazz styles, as
well as develop the ability to play
chords and modern accompaniments.
Laura Cheung
Licensed Simply Music Teacher
Hercules, CA
Unlike learning by rate, this program
is tactile, experiential, and multisensory, with students being
physically, visually and aurally fully
absorbed .
After building a repertoire of 30 to 50
pieces covering a broad range of
musical styles, students go on to
learn how to read music, their ability
to play so well providing a powerful
foundation for learning the more
formal aspects of music education .
Learning with a teacher is ideal for
those who like the structure of
having someone to report to each
week, and would benefit from
participating in private or group
lessons under the guidance of a
trained and accredited Simply Music
teacher. Students attend lessons on
a weekly basis, and receive
professionally prepared audiovisual
and printed materials. These are a
supplement to the learning process
and are designed to ensure the
students' success.
For those with extensive prior
experience a suitable teacher can
tailor this remarkable program to
meet your specific needs.

"My boys are 8 and 10. They've had
just 12 lessons with Simply Music and
already know 12 songs. Not just
T winkle, Twinkle Little Star' and 'Mary
Had A Little Lamb ', but real music.
The boys are already playing the
blues. They think they're hot stuff."
Rebecca Neis
"A t 83 years of age, this wonderful
program has given my life a
dimension that has brought me much
joy and satisfaction. The experience of
Simply Music has helped me to cope
with stress, and even sadness. I have
been most fortunate and blessed to

<After two years of being very
frustrated with other programs, we
have found one that works and that
my daughter enjoys tremendously.
The results are wonderful." Tammie

"My daughter is only 7 years old with
no previous music knowledge. Our
experience has absolutely surpassed
our expectations. Recently she played
a well-known song in front of 100
people and she brought the house
down. ~ Marsha Goodstein
