AWARD WINNERS

following residents were presented with 1993 Human
Relations Awards:
PEG BRANTMAN
MARY KAISER
MARY ROEMER
RICHARD STRAUSS
Winners of this award are chosen because they
possess a special level and quality of giving. Our
congratulations to all of them!
CHRISTMAS TREE PICK-UP
The Village's scavenger service company will make
separate collections of Christmas trees and other
organic holiday decorations so mark your calendar
10for TUESDAY, JANUARY 4th and TUESDAY,
JANUARY 1.1.th. Trees and other organic greenery
will be picked up at your curb IF all bags, metal
(including tinsel) and other decorations are removed.
REDUCED TAX LEVY
On December 20th, the Village Board passed a Real
Estate Tax Levy which is 2.3% less than the amount
levied by the Village last year.
However, as we continue to remind you, the Village
receives only 9% of the total property taxes paid, so
our decrease may not have an appreciable effect on
your next tax bill. Anyhow, we're pleased to
announce this reduction (as a Home Rule
community, there are no limits on the amount the
Village can levy) ..... it shows we're going in the right
direction.
OSTERMAN AVENUE RECONSTRUCTION
A major project scheduled for the 1994 construction
season is Osterman Avenue from Waukegan Road to
Jonquil Terrace. You may already have observed
preliminary utility work underway near the post
office. When the project is completed, the improved
street will have new curb and gutter, and (east of
the tracks) separate turning lanes and underground
electrical, TV cable and telephone lines.
On December 5th, the Mayor and Board of Trustees hosted a reception for your fellow residents who volunteer their
time and energy on the Village's Boards and Commissions. We would like to recognize them here, and thank them
for their service to the community.

Tobacco Products
We are often asked about tobacco
products and the laws concerning
minors. Because we receive a
number of questions throughout
the year, we want to take a few
moments to explain the law con-
cerning tobacco products.
It is unlawful for anyone to:
Purchase any cigar, cigarette,
smokeless tobacco or tobacco in
any of its forms when under 18
years of age, without the written
•permission of their parent or
guardian.
Sell to, buy for, distribute samples
of or furnish any cigar, cigarette,
smokeless tobacco or tobacco in
any of its forms, to any minor un-
der 18 years of age, unless upon
the written order of the minor's
parent or guardian or unless it is
sold in the presence of the parent
or guardian.
It should be noted that these laws
also apply to tobacco products
that are suitable for dipping or
chewing.
The penalty for these offenses can
be a fine up to $500.
Drive Smart, Drive Sober
NON-ALCOHOLIC
MARGARITA
1 scoop crushed ice
7 oz. sweet & sour
1 splash simple syrup
1/2 oz. Rose's lime
juice
Blend all ingredients
to medium
consistency. Pour into
16 oz. salt -rimmed
glass
Holiday Parties
During the holiday season we get
together with family and friends,
attend office parties and of course
celebrate the New Year. Remem-
ber that celebration can turn to
disaster when people drink and
drive. We have a few suggestions
on how to have a safe and enjoy-
able holiday season.
If you are hosting a holiday party;
have non-alcoholic beverages
available for your guests. Many
people attending a party may
choose not to drink alcohol. Hav-
ing a non-alcoholic drink, like the
two we listed above, is a nice ad-
dition to any party. Stop serving
STRAWBERRY
NON -DAIQUIRIS
2/3 scoop crushed ice
4.5 oz. sweet & sour
1 splash cream
1.5 oz. strawberries
Blend all ingredients
to medium
consistency. Makes an
8.5 ounce drink
alcohol at least one hour before
the party ends. During the last
few hours feature a specially pre-
pared food and non alcoholic
drinks.
If you are attending a holiday
party; remember that alcohol is
alcohol. One can of beer, one 5
ounce glass of wine and a mixed
drink with 1.5 ounces of distilled
spirits, have approximately the
same amount of alcohol. Drink
slowly and remember that alcohol
is a drug that will impair your
driving ability.
HAVE A SAFE AND
ENJOYABLE HOLIDAY
WHAT'S COOKIN' AT SARA LEE?
SNOW REMOVAL
As you probably know by now, the proposal of
OPTIMA, Inc., for 606 condominium units on the
Sara Lee property was denied by the Plan
Commission. The petitioner then withdrew the
proposal prior to the Village Board's acting on that
recommendation. A revised site plan will be the
subject of a new public hearing before the Plan
Commission on THURSDAY, JANUARY 27TH.
NEW TRAIN STATION/ UNDERPASS
METRA still plans to have a new train
station south of Lake -Cook Road up
and running by next Spring.... although
you wouldn't know it by looking at the
site! We'll keep you posted on their
progress and the commuter parking
plans.
Also, the Cook County Highway Department plans to
begin construction of the Milwaukee Railroad
underpass next Fall. This involves reconstructing
Lake Cook Road under the tracks ..... a major project
by anyone's standards. As more details become
available, we will pass them along.
IT MAKES $'S AND SENSE...... to shop locally.
It helps our merchants and provides sales tax revenue
to the Village.
It's a matter of pride with the
Public Works Department to
reach their goal of clearing all •
70 miles of Village streets
within 12 hours after the
snowfall stops. However, in
order for them to do this, they
need your cooperation. Here's
where you come in:
1. Don't park on the street or in public parking
lots after a 3" or more snowfall.
2. When you shovel your driveway, put the
snow on the ri hg t side of your drive as you
face the street .... then the plows won't push
the snow back into your driveway.
Don't shovel or blow snow into the street.
4. How about adopting a fire hydrant? You can
keep the one closest to your home free of
snow -- just in case of an emergency.
REMINDERS!
Do yourself and your neighbors a favor by
securing those newspapers before placing is
recycling bin at the curb.
Park free in the commuter lots after 10 AM
on weekdays and all day on weekends and
holidays.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
