FROM OUR BRANCH OFFICE
Wouldn't you like to have a tree planted
on your parkway? If you're interested
in our 50/50 program; call 945-5000 and
we'll send you the information and an
order blank. *We have a wide variety of
trees to choose from, so vou'can take your
choice. You pay half of the cost, plus
$10 for planting, and we'll pay the
other half and do the planting.
The trees are balled in burlap, guaran-
teed for one year, and must be planted
on Village property.
THEN, AFTER YOUR TREE GROWS UP...
PLEASE, trim those branches which over-
hang the sidewalks! We don't have the
statistics on joggers, walkers and
bikers who use that sidewalk in front
of your home, but there's a lot of them.
Getting slapped in the face by your tree
(and/or bushes) is not a big thrill!
Take a look and then take your cutters
and trim where needed.

NEW COMMUTER LOT
We bet more than a few of you were con-
fused when you saw construction work
underway on the old Marathon gas station
property at Park Avenue and Deerfield
Road. Here's the background:
The site was acquired by the Village last
August, specifically for Deerfield resi-
dent commuter parking. In October,
1988, the Village Board rejected bids to
construct a parking lot since those bids
greatly exceeded the estimated cost for
the work. However, rather than let the
property sit idle all winter, it was
decided to put temporary paving in and
sell additional commuter permits. The
parking fees more than paid for the tem-
porary blacktop. This Spring, the pro-
ject was rebid - at a savings of approx-
imately $60,000 compared to last Fall's
lowest bid.
The parking lot will be restricted to
Deerfield residents who have a parking
permit. Soon, it will be improved as
part of the Village Center Streetscape
Program.

*� �{ HOME SECURITY FOR VACATIONERS
With the warm weather here and children out of school you may be thinking of a vacation.
If that's the case don't forget these crime prevention tips before you leave.
Make sure your home looks lived'in. }
Ask a neighbor to collect your mail and newspapers so things won't pile up outside your door
or, stop deliveries until you return.
A good precaution is to set several timers on lights in different sections of your home.
40 et them -so they go on at different times. Another good idea is to place a timer on a radio
o provide noise. This would also be beneficial for people who work long or different hours.
It's always nice to come home to a house that's well lit, not to mention the advantage from
a crime prevention stand point.
Don't alter your homes appearance just because you're going out of town. If you normally
leave window shades up don't pull them down when you're on vacation. Arrange to have the
grass cut while you're gone. Nzimaw
Take heirlooms and valuables and store them in a safe place.
Lock all windows and doors. Double check basement and garage doors before you leave. Place
a wooden dowel that fits snugly in the track of sliding glass doors. -
Tell a neighbor you trust your departure and return dates. Supply an itinerary with phone
numbers where you can be reached in an emergency.
J/
Let the police department know who has a key to your home in case of an emergency.
Remember the best crime prevention device is a good neighbor. Be a good neighbor and
report suspicious behavior immediately. THE BEST PROTECTION IS PREVENTION!
GARAGE SALES If you're planning a garage sale this summer here's a few things to
keep in mind... Remember to keep the cash close by at all times. Don't let yourself be
distracted or taken away from the cash. If you're accepting checks make sure you get
*roper identification, especially for out of town checks. Write the persons drivers license
number on the check and verify if the signature, picture, and addresses match.
Rules and regulations concerning garage sales... (1) A sign advertising the garage sale can't
be more than 500 ft. from the sales location. (2) The sign has to be on private property.
(3) Signs cannot be placed on trees and utility poles. (4) There is a $5 licensing fee for
garage sales and a resident is limited to 2 per year. HAVE A GOOD SUMMER!
VILLAGE CENTER RETAIL
Recently, the Mayor and Board of Trus-
tees passed an ordinance which, with
few exceptions, limits first floor use
within the Village Center (downtown)
to retail sales only. There were two
reasons for imposing this new restric-
tion: 1) To help revitalize the retail
business climate in the Village Center,
and 2) To generate additional sales
tax for the community. Non -retail
uses, such as real estate offices and
financial institutions, are not com-
pletely prohibited. However, they
must now petition for a special use
permit to occupy first floor space.
Through the public hearing process,
the Village Board will decide if the
circumstances warrant approval. Of
course, existing non -retail uses will
be allowed to operate unaffected by
the new ordinance.
CURBSIDE RECYCLING
In early June, the Village Board ap-
proved a contract with our current
scavenger, Laidlaw Waste Systems Inc.,
to provide curbside recycling for all
single family residences in Deerfield.
The program, to begin on September 1st,
will involve newspapers, glass and cans.
Specifics will be highlighted in the
August edition of D-Tales. In the
meantime, you are encouraged to use
the drop-off recycling center on Kates
Road at the water tower.
