July,1986 Vol. 7 No. 3
HERE'S THE BIG NEWS!!
READ THIS CAREFULLY because it will definitely affect you. This is what we call advance
notice.... about five months in -advance!
Because of annual complaints that we sell vehicle stickers during the cold months of the
year, the Village Board has directed that we change our system. When stickers go on sale
this November, they will be sold for EIGHTEEN MONTHS instead of the usual twelve months.
In other words, the sticker you buy will be good from January 1, 1987 to July 1, 1988.
Car stickers will be $37:50 (the usual $25.per year, plus $12.50 for the additional six
months).
Oe penalty for failure to purchase and display before the January 1st deadline will re-
main at $12.50. Trucks, motorcycles, RV's..... all of these will cost you 50% more for
the extra six months and the penalties will be half of the annual price, as shown on the
back of the application form.
In May of 1988, when stickers are again on sale, they will be due July 1, 1988 (and each
July 1st thereafter). This will mean you can purchase and affix your stickers when the
weather is warm. And we know this will please you!
DOGS will still be licensed on the calendar year. You MUST furnish proof of rabies in-
oculation before you can purchase the license. We DO NOT keep that information in our
files so you must furnish the certificate every year when you buy your dog's license.
ALL OF THESE TRANSACTIONS CAN BE HANDLED BY MAIL. We like to have you visit the Village
Hall but if you'd like to avoid the rush (and probably waiting in line), you can mail us
the forms, the checks - and, in the case of dogs, the rabies certificate - and we'll send
you the receipts, stickers and licenses. PUT EVERYTHING IN ONE ENVELOPE... it'll save you
postage and it will not only save us time but it will improve our dispositions!
Since this is a B-I-G change from what we're all used to, we'll remind you again in August
and then again in October. D-TALES is mailed to every home in the Village but we sometimes
hear that it hasn't reached some resident. If you have new neighbors, you could do us and
them a service by explaining this to them. If you have any questions, we'd be glad to
hear from you.
The Fire Department and our Public Works Department are flushing all 781 of the Village's
hydrants. If yours hasn't been done yet, they'll be there soon. You will receive notice
before the date scheduled for your area so you'll know what to expect.
In NOT THE BIRDS AND THE BEES...
LET'S HAVE A PARTY!
How about the ducks and the ants? If you're
driving along Wilmot Road in the morning,
you might see this little family trudging
along. We understand
they go for their
daily stroll every
day be- IF Irtween 9 and
9:30 AM. Motorists
are very considerate, stopping to allow
the little family to complete the crossing
safely. And you didn't realize you were
living in the country, did you?
As for the ants, we've had several people
tell us there are large colonies of ants
in their yards .... if you have this problem,
there are chemicals which you can use to
discourage them. Consult any of the_ local
nurseries or the Botanic Gardens.
SUMMER THEATER
The Deerfield Area Historical Society will
sponsor a summer production of "ARSENIC
AND OLD LACE", on July 18th, 19th and 20th
and again on July 25th and 26th. The play
will be under the direction of Warren Frem-
ling and will feature performers from•our
area.
Show time is 7:30 P.M., with one inter-
mission. Ticket sales are being handled
by the Historical Society, with Col. F. A.
Werner as Committee Chairman. Contact him
at 541-2819 for tickets or stop in the
Village Hall..... tickets are $4 for adults,
$2 for Children. All proceeds will go to
the Deerfield Area Historical Society.
SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED!
The Police Department now has two Community
Service Officers, Elizabeth Muellemann and
Mike Silvola. These CSO's are full-time,
unarmed civilian employees who will act as
support personnel in the Operations and
Services Divisions. Their duties, which
are varied, will include radio/dispatch;
parking, licensing and other non -crime
ordinance enforcement; park and school
safety patrols; and various other service
assignments on a daily basis.
Elizabeth and Mike have passed extensive
screening and background investigations
and are currently receiving on-the-job
training.
Block party season .is here again! All you
need to do is to get your neighbors to agree •
on a date .... come in to the Village Hall
and give us the details. We'll issue the
permit and we'll notify the Fire, Police
and Public Works Departments. Barricades
will be delivered to you before the party...
and picked up again after the ball is over.
All of this at no charge!
This is a terrific way to get to know your
neighbors, particularly if they've moved in
over the winter months!
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Here's an update on the various programs in-
volving this subject:
Retention Basins: Efforts continue to gain
Congressional approval of the legislation
needed to construct two major reservoirs in
our area. Recently, Trustee Harriet Rosenthal
met with our representatives in Washington to
discuss this pending legislation. Indication
are that final approval will be given for the
construction to begin in late,1987 or early
'88. The basin most important to Deerfield
will be located at Duffy Lane and the Tollway,
in Bannockburn. The other reservoir will be
on what is now the Gun Club property, south of
Lake -Cook and west of Pfingsten Road.
Sanitary Sewer Program: Engineering work is
nearing completion on major sanitary sewer im-
provements -in the western portion of the Vil-
lage. These involve new trunk lines and ad-
ditional pumping facilities along the creek.
These should significantly reduce - if not
eliminate altogether -.the number of sanitary
sewer back-ups experienced during rain storms.
Construction work should begin this Fall'and
be completed in about a year.
Creek Cleaning: The drainage district respon-
sible for the Middle Fork (eastern portion of
Deerfield) has not yet announced specific plans
for creek cleaning. 'As with the West Fork, the
Village has agreed to loan money to the dis-
trict for this project.
Informational Brochures: We'd like to remind
you that we have a brochure prepared by our
Flood Advisory Committee to assist in flood- •
proofing your home.
And we also have a little booklet with great
tips on water conservation. Stop in and we'll
give you a copy. .

There are those who claim the art work which
occasionally appears in D-TALES leaves a lot-
to the imagination. Opinions are mixed on
this one (which was originally going to ac-
company the article about ants, until the
editor got cold feet). Do you discerning art
lovers know what it is?
BACK TO BUSINESS
Don't forget about the recycling center at
the end of Kates Road, near the water tower.
Deposit your newspapers, aluminum cans, and
brown, green or white glass in the containers.
Everything you recycle helps ... and it reduces
the amount of garbage and refuse.which, in
turn, extends the life of the dumping area.
This is a continuation of the Street Re- WATCH OUT FOR CHILDREN.... school's out and
habilitation Program begun in 1984. so are they!
ACCESS AVENUE
A public hearing on the Access Avenue improvement was held in late May. The Village is at-
tempting to secure 70% Federal funding,for this project. The primary benefit will be the
improvement of the existing Hoffman/Petersen/Deerfield Road intersection. Construction work
is scheduled to begin in the Spring of 1987.
