HERE'S OUR ANNUAL REMINDER!!
It hardly seems possible that it's time to think about vehicle stickers and dog licenses,
but that time has rolled around again. We'll be mailing the computer forms during the
first week in November for your car(s) and/or dog(s). As soon as you receive the forms,
make any necessary corrections in the shaded areas and get them back to us, together with
your check. If you do that, you'll have one less thing to think about in December!
Here are the details which,,hopefully, will answer all of your questions:
- EVERY vehicle which is registered in Deerfield (or which is customarily stored or
• garaged here and is not licensed in another municipality) must have a vehicle
sticker. Your moped? RV? College student's car? Motorcycle? The answer is
"yes" to all of those questions.... EVERY vehicle.
- Stickers must be displayed PRIOR TO JANUARY 1st (even if the car is away at school
or.is only used part of the year).
- You do NOT have to have your license plates in order to get the sticker. We can
add the plate information later.for new cars.
- Automobile stickers are $25.00. The exception is that Seniors (65 and over) are
given one sticker per family at $1.00.
- Stickers .for trucks and recreational vehicles vary according to weight ... see the
back of the application form for this information.
- -Mopeds, motorcycles and motor scooters are $12.00
AFTER JANUARY 1st, ADD 50% to all of the above prices!!!
Failure to purchase and display your stickers may also give you another problem... the Police
Department may give you a citation, adding another $25.00 to the total cost. Some simple
arithmetic should convince you to act immediately after you receive the forms. It gets down
to $25.00 as opposed to a sure $37.50, and a possible $62.50!
Now about dogs:
- You must bring or send us proof of the rabies inoculation before you can get the
license. The fee for dogs is $5.00 a year.
- Your rabies certificate is current as long as it has not expired prior to the day
you get the Village license.
• - You'll also need a Lake County tag, which is $2.00. You can either get that from
us or mail the rabies certificate with your check to Lake County.
Cats don't need a Village license, but DO require the Lake County tag.
If we've missed something you need to know, call us at 945-5000!
IT'S BEEN A YEAR TO REMEMBER!
On August 6, 1984, The Mayor and Village Board proclaimed 1985 as Deerfield's Sesquicentennial
Year. Then they appointed the Sesquicentennial Committee, Chaired by Larry Dondanville, to •
plan for the birthday celebration. Since then, in each issue of D-TALES, we've reported on
the many events scheduled throughout the year. Now the year is drawing to a close ... and this
will be the last issue of D-TALES you'll receive before the celebration ends, so we're devoting
a page just for news of the rest of the plans for October, November and December.
SESQUIGIFT TO THE COMMUNITY
The Sesquicentennial Committee has invited
artist John Mosiman to present his famous
"musical painting" show at 1:00 P.M., Satur-
day, October 26th, at the Library -- a show
he has performed from coast to coast.
Mosiman is a well-known Midwest artist whose
4 historic Deerfield sketches have been re-
produced,in-a.limited,-signed edition.as a.
special Sesquicentennial gift portfolio.
Each of the 4 pictures in the set has been
individually matted and is ready.for fram-
ing. The series of 4 is priced at $45. If
any sets are left by November 1st, the in-
dividual sketches will be available at $15
each.
Admission to the show is free. Tickets may
be obtained at:
First National Bank of Deerfield
Deerfield State Bank
Deerfield Federal Savings
Deerfield Paint and Glass
Koenig & Strey (where the original drawings
are on display).
Committee members will man booths at these
locations from 9:00 A.M. to noon on the 26th
where the sketches and other souvenirs will
be available. Mosiman will also be at these
sale sites to meet and greet the public, sign
pictures and answer questions.
SESQUI-SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17th

a reception, honoring some of Deerfield's dis-
tinguished citizens, major donors and Committee
members on Sunday, November 17th from 3:00 to
6:00 P.M. at Baxter-Travenol's headquarters.

CHRISTMAS AT THE HISTORIC VILLAGE
Come to the Historic Village on Sunday, Decem-
ber 8th. Mark your calendar!! Plan on it!!
This will be the last of our Sesquicentennial
events, and will close our Village's celebratio*
of 150 years. Our local newspapers will have
more information about the event so watch for it
and join us in an old-fashioned Christmas at the
Village.

IS YOUR OAK OKAY?
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Oaks (and other trees in this area) are in
danger of dying due to a disease called "chlor-
*sis". While there are various causes for this
isease, there are things ,you can do to save
your trees. The symptom is light green and/or
yellow leaves, usually at the top of the tree.
White oaks are in the worst trouble, but other
varieties of oaks and other hard wood trees
ha a been infected. If the tree is not treat-
ed)during the early stages of the disease, it
will not survive. Be ready next Spring!!
For literature about this tree disease, write
Dr. George Ware, Morton Arboretum, Lisle,
Illinois, 60532, enclosing a stamped self-
addressed envelope. Dr. Ware is the Chief
Botanist.at the Arboretum.
********
WHEN IS HALLOWEEN?
The official trick -or -treat night will be ob-
served on October 31st. As usual, both the
Fire and Police Departments will have treats
for the kids. We don't set hours for trick-
or-treaters.....that's a parental decision.
***
BE A FRIEND - FOR LIFE
he next blood drive is scheduled for Decem-
er 1st. To make an appointment, call Patti
Moore, at 948-1365..or you can just go to
the Community Center between 8 A.M. and noon.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAYS
On November 14th, there'll be some new faces
around the Village, when student officials
take over various offices. All eighth grade
students from Holy Cross, Wilmot and Shepard
Junior Highs will tour V,i;l.lage, .faciI i.ties. on
the 14th and 15th. Elected students will be
treated to lunch on the 14th with their
counterparts.
November 28th is Thanksgiving Day ... there
won't be any scavenger service that day.
And, of course, the Village Hall will be
closed.
Construction work continues on the various
storm sewer improvements authorized by the
Village Board last Spring. Provided the
weather cooperates, this work will be com-
pleted prior to Winter. Design work on the
sanitary sewer program is progressing right
on schedule.
Residents are again requested to add down-
spout extensions where needed to get the water
away from the foundation. In doing so, you
will prevent water from entering the sanitary
sewer, thereby reducing the chances for
flooding.
The Village has prepared a brochure to ex-
plain causes of flooding and steps available
to homeowners to prevent such problems. This
is available..at.the.Yillage.Hall.at.,no cost.,.
to residents.

HABLA USTED ESPANOL? FRANCAISE?
ANYTHING?
Can you imagine not being able to speak Eng-
lish when you want to communicate with a
Police Officer?
During the course of some investigations and
contacts, the Police need help in communicat-
ing in foreign languages. Often the need is
critical. We need volunteers on whom we can
rely in such emergencies. If you'd like to
help, call COMMANDER JOHN SLIOZIS, 945-8636.
You are cordially inuited to attend the uisit of

DOORS OPEN,:15 AM PROGRAM BEGINS 10.00 AM
This is a reproduction of the ticket for the
visit of President Reagan at the Kitchens of
Sara Lee.
This was an exciting time in the Village...
just to see the elaborate security measures
and the number of people involved in these
arrangements was fascinating!
No matter what your politics, or how you feel
about the government, an occasion such as
this makes you proud to be an American. The
President's limousine with the flags flying
was enough to put -a lump in a lot of throats!
LEAF PICK UP SCHEDULE
The scavenger service will pick up an unlimited number of bagged leaves, placed at the
curb (not before sundown of the night before your regular pick up day). This applies to
both once and twicea week service. If you have a carriage walk, please put the bags just
behind the walk.
The Public Works Department will make one sweep down each street to pick up loose leaves
on the parkways. We ask that you do not put sticks, stones or other things in the leaf
piles since they damage the vacuum equipment. Don't put the leaves in the street ... keep
them on the parkway.
The map be low will show you the FIRST DAY that we will be in your area. We won't be there
before the date shown, but we might not make it right on that day... depending on how the
pick up goes. Put your leaves out just before the date shown. We will be there, but only
once. If you miss us, you can still bag the -leaves and put them out for the scavenger.
When it snows, we're all through for the year.
