CHILD SAFETY RESTRAINT INSPECTIONS

Everyday, children sustain serious injuries and die in motor vehicle crashes. Many of these

injuries and deaths can be avoided with the correct use of child safety seats and safety belts.

However, many adults are unaware they are using the safety restraint incorrectly, thereby

placing their child at risk. Many safety experts believe that between 80 percent to 90 percent

of child safety seats are installed and/or used incorrectly.

The City of Palos Hills Police Dept. now has an officer certified to inspect infant and child

safety seats in your vehicle by appointment. Please call the Police Dept. at the non-emergency

number 598-2272 to ask for Officer Nowak, during regular business hours to make an

appointment or with any other questions on this important service. Just a few minutes to have

your child safety restraint inspected can make all the difference in the life of your child.

Once again the non-emergency number is 598-2272 ask for Officer Nowak.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

What good is a penny? Most people would tell you it’s not good for anything. In some cases

that’s true. You can no longer buy a piece of gum with it and most vending machines will not

even take them. Some people even throw them away, but to others pennies can mean a meal.

The Greater Chicago Food Depository allows shelters and food pantries to purchase food for

just pennies a pound. What good is a penny? Not a lot when its only one, but gathered together

for the benefit of others less fortunate their value becomes apparent and they become very

strong. Please bring in your pennies to The Palos Hills Community Resource & Recreation

Department, 8455 West 103rd Street, Palos Hills.

Together we can make a Difference!

50TH ANNIVERSARY 32

MOVIE IN THE PARK


Date: August 15th

Time: Dusk

Cost: Free

From creator Jerry Seinfeld comes ―Bee Movie,‖ a comedy that will change everything you

thought you knew about bees. Take a close look at the world through the eyes of one bee in

particular - Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld). A recent college graduate, Barry wants more out

of life than the inevitable career that awaits him and every other worker in New Hive City - a

job at Honex… making honey. Barry jumps at the chance to venture out of the hive, and soon

encounters a world beyond his wildest dreams. When Barry inadvertently meets a quirky

florist named Vanessa (Renee Zellweger), he breaks one of the cardinal rules of beedom - he

talks to her. A friendship soon develops, and Barry gets a guided crash course in the ways of

the human race. When he shockingly discovers that anyone can purchase honey right off the

grocery store shelf, he realizes that his true calling is to stop injustice and set the world right

by suing the human race for stealing the bees’ precious honey.

Trick Or Trunk…. World’s safest most unconventional Trick or Treat!

This community event is a lot of fun and has the added advantage of being far safer than con-

ventional trick or treating. What is Trick or Trunk?

Residents who are interested in a trick or treat set up where everyone decorates their cars,

RV’s, or vans; to have children trick or treat from their vehicles trunk. Instead of going door

to door the children will go from trunk to trunk. All vehicles will be backed into a parking space

with the trunk facing out. The entire car or just the trunk can be decorated. Bring enough

candy/ prizes for approximately 150 kids. You may dress however you would like but we ask

that costumes be kid friendly. You may have music playing at your site and you may decorate

the ground around your vehicle.

If you like to have fun on Halloween, and have the opportunity to dress up and pass out candy

to children, win prizes for the best decorated car trunk and costume. Then you need to par-

ticipate in Trick or Trunk. The event will be held on Saturday, October 18th, 2008 during the

Children’s NOT So Haunted Hayride from 1:00 – 3:00 pm at 10801 Roberts Road.

Please call the Community Center at 430-4500 for more information. Trick or Trunk Participa-

tion applications will be available Sept. 17th at the Community Activity Center, 8455 W. 103rd
