ANNUAL LEAF PICK-UP
Beginning October 26th, and ending on November 19th, public works crews will make one pass by your house
every week.
Leaves should -be raked into the street on the day
before your scheduled pick-up (see map below) in
a long neat row, about a foot from the curb (see
illustration). If your street has no curb and gutter,
put the leaves in the street a foot from the edge of
the pavement. This is extremely important since we
cannot do a neat and thorough job without your
cooperation. DON'T rake them into piles and
please do not include anything but leaves! Foreign
materials (including grass clippings) cause terrible
problems for the leaf sweepers!

Between leaves and curb
Olf there is a car parked in front of your house, we'll have to drive around it and try to get your leaves the
following week. Keep putting as many leaves out each week as you possibly can so that we aren't overwhelmed
on the last pick-up. We'll try to stick closely to the schedule - weather being the dominant factor.
After your final pick-up date, all leaves must be bagged for pick up by the scavenger on the Tuesday collection,
using yard waste bags with stickers. December ,8th is the last yard waste pick-up for the year because that's
when the compost site used by the Village will be closed for the winter.
The following streets are the exceptions. Keep your
leaves on the parkway behind the curb and they will
be picked up weekly by the vacuum leaf machine.

the Village Hall. As you ride by, please take a
quick peek to "monitor the thermometer" as the
community strives to reach its local fundraising
goal of $93,000 by February.
This year, the local United Way agency is doing all
it can to reach out to the communities it serves.
According to new president Chuck Caruso, the
board recently changed the name of the agency
from Deerfield Area United Way to Deerfield
Lincolnshire Bannockburn Riverwoods United Way
to more accurately reflect the people the local board
serves. Donations received from residents are
distributed to 17 area -agencies that serve the needs
of these communities.
The board, which is comprised of volunteer
residents of the area, determined which agencies to
fund based on the results of a community -wide
needs assessment survey which was taken earlier
this year.

FALL SAFETY TIPS
HOME SECURITY
Over the past several months, a
number of homes in surrounding
communities have been burglar-
ized. In September and early Oc-
tober, two burglaries occurred in
Deerfield. The Police Depart-
ment strongly recommends keep-
ing your home and property well
lit when you are out and requests
that you call 911 if you hear any
suspicious noise or see suspi-
cious activity or vehicles.
SEAT BELTS - YOUNG
DRIVERS
The Illinois General Assembly
has created a special safety belt
law for drivers under the age of
18 years. The law now states
that drivers of motor vehicles
(except motor driven cycles and
motorcycles) who are under the
age of 18 years must, during the
operation of the vehicle, wear a
properly adjusted and fastened
seat belt. Additionally, those
drivers under the age of 18 must
not have more than one passen-
ger (belted) in the front seat and
must not have more passengers
in the back seat than the number
of available seat safety belts.
Each of those passengers must
wear a seat safety belt. Finally,
Illinois law requires that the
driver of a motor vehicle is re-
sponsible for insuring that all
passengers under the age of 18
are secured by a seat safety belt.
This past April, the Village of
Deerfield enacted a local ordi-
nance requiring all occupants of a
motor vehicle to wear a seat
safety belt.
JOGGERS TAKE NOTE
Jogging continues to be an in-
creasingly popular pastime, and
joggers find the Autumn season
one of the most rewarding times
of the year to run. Unfortunately,
this time of year presents some
serious safety problems that
should be considered by all who
run.
Please remember to:
• wear light colored or fluores-
cent clothing
• avoid running on the street
before dawn or after dusk
• use off -roadway areas when-
ever possible.
• when using the roadway, run
AGAINST traffic and as far
over to the edge of the road
as possible.
Yield to vehicles when required
and anticipate the fact that some
drivers are not paying attention
and may not be aware of your
presence... even when obvious.
By following these tips, you will
not only benefit from jogging,
but you will preserve the life you
are, working to improve!
