Continued on Page 6 villageNEWS Page 2 streets as follows: •Standard or Safety Sidewalks (sidewalks with parkway between walk and curb): Signs must be at least 5 feet in from the house side of the sidewalk. •Carriage Walks (sidewalks next to street): Signs must be placed at least 10 feet in from the house side of the sidewalk. •No Sidewalk: Signs must be placed at least 15 feet in from the street edge or back of curb. Signs found to be within the public right-of-way or, those attached to light poles, street signs or other appurtences in the right-of-way will be removed immediately. For more information, please contact the Community Development Department at 847/719-7484. can ignite a fire and cause a significant safety hazard. Following the final collection in your neighborhood, remaining leaves must be bagged and a yard waste sticker adhered, for regular landscape waste collections on Mondays and Tuesdays. December 15 and 16 will be the final yard waste collections this year. For more information, please contact the Public Works Department at 847/317-7245 or visit www.deerfield.il.us. Political Signage While the Village recognizes that political signs are an important and legitimate way to express political views, there are regulations that govern display. Signs are not allowed anywhere in the public right-of-way. These areas are defined along and damage the equipment used for collecting leaves. If these items are found, the leaves will not be removed. •Try to put leaves out each week, if possible, so that crews are not overloaded at the end of the program. •If a crew starts to pick up in an area before they are scheduled to do so, they will also return on the scheduled day. •Inclement weather may delay pickups, but crews will make at least four trips through your neighborhood. •Do not rake leaves near sewer inlets as doing so can contribute to street flooding. •Motorists should not park on top of or very close to leaf piles as warm exhaust systems Leaf Collection Zones This map delineates collection routes and days. Questions may be directed to Public Works at 847/317-7245. Leaf Collection Program The Village’s annual leaf collection program provides residents with another alternative for disposal of their autumn leaves. Residents who do not mulch or bag their leaves may simply rake leaves to the curb or carriage walk line the night before their scheduled pickup. Beginning the week of October 27 and continuing through November 21, Public Works Department crews will make one pass by all homes in the Village each week during the 4-week program. We ask that you please not put out leaves more than one day prior to your scheduled pickup day. Village crews utilize vacuum hose machines to remove leaves raked to the curb. Leaves should be raked in long neat rows that do not exceed 5 feet in width. They should be raked as close to the curb as possible, so long as they are not placed in the street or on top of carriage walks or sidewalks. Doing this causes safety hazards to pedestrians and drivers as sidewalks and carriage walks become impassable, forcing pedestrians onto the street. Listed below are some helpful reminders for leaf collection: •Do not park your vehicle on the street on the day of your pickup. Crews cannot remove leaves from a parkway that is blocked by a vehicle parked on the street. •Do not mix grass clippings, sticks, rocks, branches, mud or other debris with your leaves. These materials clog publicWORKS Page 3 Roadway Condition Analysis Planned As roadway maintenance and rehabilitation costs continue to rise, it is important to perform the correct maintenance technique on a roadway at the proper time before it becomes a more expensive reconstruction project. Rating the Village’s 72 miles of streets and developing the most cost effective maintenance programs is an ongoing challenge due to the lack of consistent empirical data. In the past the Village used a ten-point street rating system. Roadway evaluations were done by a Public Works employee utilizing a visual method without scientific measurements. In October 2004, the Village began utilizing the services of Infrastructure Management Systems (IMS) for a comprehensive street rating method and for development of a pavement management program. Their evaluation would accurately reflect current conditions and enable development of rehabilitation programs for future years. Elements that make up the program include: Surface Condition Survey This uses a laser road surface tester which evaluates the current surface condition. Deflection Testing Using a Dynaflect machine, the capabilities of the pavements, base and subgrade sections, and interaction between these sections is evaluated. Pavement Management Software Program This program allows the Village to manage and interpret the collected data in a variety of “what if” scenarios which will help to determine the best overall maintenance program. The program will also evaluate budgetary scenarios, providing useful information on upcoming fiscal requirements. Queries can also be made of future infrastructure rehabilitation programs to better plan and manage resources. In addition to obtaining more consistent scientific data, the Engineering Department is looking to better plan for future street rehabilitation programs. The program offered by IMS allows staff to cross reference rating numbers and data for more optimal repair programs. By maximizing limited construction dollars, the Village Board may potentially increase the quantity of street repair projects approved each year, allowing the Village to more cost effectively utilize funding for infrastructure repairs and allowing for larger projects to proceed more rapidly. In October, IMS returned for a two week period to perform the first quadrennial re-inspection of all Village owned roadways. This re-inspection will re- evaluate the current conditions of roadways and substantiate the current overall Village ranking number. Questions may be directed to the Engineering Department at 847/317-2490. Ready for Winter! Winter is on the way! After last year’s record breaking snowfall, the Public Works Department is again prepared to clear the Village’s 72 miles of streets once the snow begins to fly. Public Works operates over 20 pieces of equipment for snow removal. Utilizing a combination of road salt and plowing, crews are able to keep roadways clear and safe for winter travel. Residents should be aware that Public Works does not park its vehicles until every street has been cleared. The goal is for every street to be cleared within 6 hours after the snow stops. This year, the Village has taken steps to reduce overall road salt usage by implementing various new technologies. It is expected that by utilizing calcium chloride in addition to road salt, road salt usage may decrease as much as 20%. Please remember: By Village ordinance, vehicles may not be parked on the street for 24 hours after 3 inches or more of snow has fallen. Also, you may not deposit snow from your property onto the street or sidewalk. Your cooperation will help us keep the streets clear! Sidewalk Snow Removal Residents are asked to please be mindful of pedestrians and school children by clearing their sidewalk of snow and ice. Trash bins should be placed on the driveway apron to keep the sidewalk as unobstructed as possible. Search ends for ALB The Village was notified by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDA) that the initial search for signs of the Asian Longhorned Beetle (ALB) in Deerfield and surrounding communities has been completed. Over 10,000 trees were inspected, and no signs of infestation were discovered. On August 1, an insect specimen discovered in Deerfield was determined to be an ALB. Rapid response teams from the USDA and the IDA immediately took action and began a full survey of trees within a one-mile radius of the location of detection. While no signs of infestation were discovered, Village staff has been trained by both the USDA and IDA on what to look for. In addition, the USDA and IDA have indicated that some crews may be dispatched to the Village in winter months to continue the search. The Village is asking that residents keep watch for any indication of the insect. The ALB is a large beetle, and pictures are available on the Village’s website. Signs of infestation include dime-sized holes in hardwood trees (i.e. Maples and Oaks). If you notice these holes as trees lose their leaf canopies this fall, please contact the USDA at 847/699-2424 immediately. Additional information can be found by visiting the Village’s website at www.deerfield.il.us. The following is a synopsis of actions taken by the Village Board since the last publication of D-Tales.

As a result, heating costs will consume an increasingly larger portion of a household's energy budget. To ensure your energy dollars are being used wisely, do the following: Check for Leaks Weatherstripping and caulking are probably the least expensive, simplest, most effective ways to cut down on energy waste in the winter. Improperly sealed homes can waste 10 to 15 percent of the homeowner's heating dollars. Check Your Insulation Insulate your attic. In an older home, that can be the most cost-efficient way to cut home heating costs. Weather-strip and insulate your attic hatch or door to prevent warm air from escaping. Seal holes in the attic that lead down into the house, such as open wall tops and duct, plumbing, or electrical runs. Check Your HVAC System Routine maintenance and inspection of your heating system each autumn will help make sure it is in good working order. Replace your furnace air filter monthly. Your heating system will use less energy and last longer as a result. Most homeowners can replace filters and do such simple tasks as cleaning and removing dust from vents or along baseboard heaters. Install an electronic thermostat that allows you to automatically turn down the heat when you're away at work or when you're sleeping at night, and then boost the temperature to a comfortable level when you need it. Properly using your set-back thermostat could cut your heating costs significantly. Also, reverse the movement of your ceiling fan blades so they blow upward, toward the ceiling. By reversing the fan's direction, the blades move air upward. This is especially valuable in rooms with high ceilings, where heat that naturally rises is forced back down into the room.

Curfew Requirements The Police Department would like to remind all Deerfield residents of curfew Ordinances and State regulations related to curfew for minors. Section 15-62 of the Deerfield Municipal Code deals exclusively with curfew. Generally, it is unlawful for a person less than 18 years of age to be present at or upon any public assembly, building, place, street, highway, or public way within the Village at the following times: •Between eleven o'clock (11:00) p.m. and six o'clock (6:00) a.m. Sundays through Thursdays. •Between one minute after twelve o'clock (12:01) a.m. and six o'clock (6:00) a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. It is unlawful for any parent, legal guardian or other person to knowingly permit a person in their custody or control to violate this ordinance. It is not an offense if the minor is: •Accompanied and supervised by a parent, legal guardian or other responsible companion at least twenty one (21) years of age approved by the parent or legal guardian •Engaged in an employment activity or occupation which the laws of this State authorize a person under the age of eighteen (18) years to perform, or going to or returning from such an employment or occupation without any detour or stop. Drive Safely As the world becomes more and more fast paced, it is easy to get caught up in the mindset of “faster is better,” especially when driving. Slow Down Around Town is an important concept to remember when driving through the community. Whether driving down your street, through another neighborhood or a local parking lot, keeping your speed at or below the speed limit will improve safety . Please drive with caution as pedestrians, bicyclists, children, and the occasional pet share roadways and crosswalks. Remember: to help reduce the number of safety issues and concerns in all our neighborhoods, please drive 25! Toys for Tots Program The Deerfield Police Department is again proud to announce its annual partnership with the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. From now through December 23, there will be a collection box located in the lobby of the Village Hall as well as the Deerfield Police Station, both at 850 Waukegan Road. As part of Deerfield’s holiday celebration, please drop off toys at Deerfield Village Hall on December 5 and 6 and enjoy holiday treats and entertainment! Remember, toys should be delivered new and unwrapped. Questions may be directed to Mary Anne Glowacz at 847/945-8636 or via email at mglowacz@deerfield.il.us. communityINFO Page 6 Transition to Digital TV - What Does it Mean? At midnight on Tuesday, February 17, 2009, all full-power television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting in the traditional analog method, completing the transition to all- digital broadcasting. What does this mean for the average viewer? For those that subscribe to cable, satellite or other pay TV services and/or own a TV with a digital tuner, the switch should not affect you. But, if you are using an analog television set that is not connected to a pay TV service (i.e. your TV requires connection to an antenna), you will no longer receive broadcasting after the digital changeover. If you fall into this category, there are several options available to you You can: •Purchase a converter box for your existing television set; •Subscribe to a connection for cable, satellite or other pay TV service; or, •Purchase a new television that has a built-in digital tuner. A converter box plugs into an analog TV allowing the set to receive digital transmissions. The federal government has created the TV Converter Box Coupon Program to help people with this transition. The program provides households wishing to keep analog sets functioning after February 17, with a $40 coupon to be applied towards the cost of the box. Converter boxes can be found at most electronics stores. When the coupon (which looks like a gift-card) is mailed to you, a listing of participating retailers will be included. The coupon is valid for 90 days after the date it is mailed. You can only apply for a coupon with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) by visiting their website at www.dtv2009.gov, or by calling 1-888-DTV-2009. The change to an all-digital signal produces a more efficient system for broadcasters that frees up airwave space and creates an overall better viewing experience. This provides for clearer pictures, a plentiful array of channels and the ability to designate certain channels for use by emergency responders. program is for residents age 65 and over or disabled, who have mobility challenges that may prevent or restrict their ability to meet their health care needs. The program provides registered riders with the means to make it to medical appointments.

Transit Cont’d Continued from Page 1 villageREMINDERS Page 7 To Feed or Not to Feed Whether you encounter wildlife in your own backyard, a local park, or while vacationing in a far-off locale, remember that feeding wild animals - no matter how cute or hungry they seem - can often result in negative consequences. The Humane Society of the United States opposes the feeding of wildlife when this activity places wildlife at risk. Even with the best intentions, feeding wild animals can do more harm than good. When animals learn that humans provide an easy food source, they often lose their fear of humans. Once wild animals learn that they can forage for human food, conflicts, nuisance behavior, and risks to human safety may occur. Residents are also asked to have all garbage lids securely fastened at night to help limit wild scavengers in your neighborhood. For questions or concerns related to Animal Control, please contact the Deerfield Police Department at 847/945-8636. Fall Back! Daylight savings time officially ends on Sunday, November 2, at 2:00 a.m. Remember to fall back before you retire for the evening on Saturday! Changing your clocks is also a great time to change batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors! Set your clock. Time will revert back to standard time at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 2! Refuse Reminders Regular Refuse Collection Residents are reminded that refuse and recycling must be placed out for collection no later than 7:00 a.m. on your day of collection.

Trees and other organic greenery will be picked up at the curb if all bags, metal (including tinsel) and other decorations are removed. Veterans Day Thank You As a Veterans Day tribute to those brave Deerfield men and women who have or are currently serving in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom Afghanistan, a banner displaying their names will be placed on the Village’s banner pole at Deerfield and Waukegan Roads. It is the Village’s intent to honor all those on active duty; however, we have not been able to develop a comprehensive list. If a Deerfield resident currently serving in our armed forces is not listed on the banner, we ask that you contact Commander John P. Coughenour of the Deerfield American Legion Post 738, at 847/366-7554 or dfldpost738@gmail.com with their name and branch of the armed forces. This will allow the Village and American Legion to compile an accurate list of those currently serving and help us in honoring them in the future for their service to our country. The banners will be on display periodically throughout the year. Questions may be directed to the Village at 847/719- 7483, deermail@deerfield.il.us or by contacting the Deerfield American Legion. Deerfield American Legion Post 738, Auxiliary Unit 738, and the Sons of the American Legion Squadron 738 want to take this opportunity to thank today's service members for the sacrifices they are making for America. They ask families with members serving on active duty anywhere in the world to participate in the historic Blue Star program, which has been in place since World War I. The Legion will provide you with either a blue star banner or a removable blue star window decal to display to others your pride in your family member for serving. Support your military personnel and your own patriotism; contact the Legion at 847/945-9821. Please visit the Legion’s website at www.deerfieldpost738.org.The American Legion offers free legion membership to all those currently serving in all branches of the United States Armed Forces. Also, West Deerfield Township has initiated a Birthday Salute program. Their goal is to send every Township resident on active duty a Happy Birthday greeting on their birthday, along with a $20 phone card. Call the Township office at 847/945-0614 to add your special someone to the birthday list. Village Officials: Mayor: Steven M.
