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.

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, among dozens who applied, that submitted and received (Continued on next page.)

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. President: Vice President: Secretary: 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.

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 Summer 2005 Herculean 5 - City Scene Hercules Senior Center Activities/Programs For Seniors Piano Recital At 10:00 a.m., on Tuesday, July 26 t\ piano students will be perfonning at their joyous annual Summer Recital at the Hercules Senior Center.

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. supplies ready and that you only need to refresh those supplies that are close to expiring.

" 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.

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!

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.
