MESSAGE FROM
THE PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR
CHIEF JIMMY KNIGHT
As many of you are aware, the Village is in a nationwide search
for a new Manager. It is likely that the process will take several
months, in the interim the Mayor and Council have asked that I
not only serve as your Public Safety Director but as an interim
Manager performing some extra duties customarily assigned to
the Village Manager.
I am both grateful and humbled by the confidence and trust that
our elected officials have bestowed in their appointment of me. I
have been steadfast in my conviction to remain your Public
Safety Director and I have no intention to neither seek nor accept
a permanent appointment to Village Manager. I am excited that I
be given this opportunity to serve the residents of this great Vil-
lage in a slightly different capacity.
I would like to encourage all residents to contact my office with
any concerns that they may have here in the Village. I would
equally like to hear from those residents with accolades for those
public servants who work very hard, day in and day out, to bring
those many services that are unique to this Village. The Village
has a great resource of employees that are committed to our
Community! I can be reached by phone at 841-3380 or e-mail
me at iknight(a,village-npb.org.
A few of the projects that we are working on include a second
"town hall" meeting concerning the Anchorage Park renovation
project that is to be held on Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at 7:00
PM at Village Hall. Staff is very excited about the park im-
provements and invites all residents to help with the formulation
of the conceptual plans. You can also send us your thoughts or
questions via e-mail by going to the Village's website home page
where you will find a link for "Anchorage Park Improvement
Comments"
The Annual Heritage Parade & Festival will be held on Saturday,
April 21, 2007. The Village has kept this parade a hometown
Village event. Based on that philosophy we want to encourage
any group within the Village to participate by placing an entry in
the parade. Following the parade the carnival games, rides, food
and entertainment will be at the North Palm Beach Country
Club. In the evening the activities will continue at poolside. We
look forward to seeing you there!
The renovation to our pool deck is nearing completion and is
looking great, please visit your Country Club pool.
Also, remember that AARP Tax Aid is being conducted at Vil-
lage Hall Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 9:00 AM to 1:00
PM.
Please, if you have any questions and/or would just like to stop
in our office, our doors are always open and staff welcomes our
residents. Please visit our website at www.village-npb.org for
departmental information, current events, meeting minutes, etc.

GONE IN 30 SECONDS
30 The seconds it takes for a thief to break into your
vehicle and take your valuables.
20 The seconds it takes for you to put your valuables into
your trunk, out of sight or remove them from the
vehicle.
The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety would like
to encourage all village residents to go by the numbers and take
the proper precautions to safeguard the property inside of their
vehicle. The more difficult it is for your vehicle to be broken
into, the longer that it will take to commit the crime. The longer
that it takes to commit the crime, the more likely it is that the
thief will move on to an easier target.
Crime is like a table with three legs - it takes all three legs to
stand. If you take away even one leg, the table isn't supported.
Desire, ability & opportunity must all exist to support crime.
Even though we may not be able to stop someone's desire to
commit a crime, we can take away their ability and/or their op-
portunity to commit the crime.
DESIRE + ABILITY + OPPORTUNITY = CRIME
Auto Burglary Prevention, like all crime prevention, is the act of
taking away the criminals ability and/or opportunity to commit a
crime. With a little time and diligence, you can make a differ-
ence in your vulnerability to Auto Burglary! The North Palm
Beach Department of Public Safety would like to encourage vil-
lage residents to practice the following tips:
• Always lock and secure the doors and windows of your ve-
hicle even if you are only gone for a short period of time
• Never leave your purse, wallet, cellular phone, money, elec-
tronic equipment, tools or other valuable equipment in your
unattended vehicle
• Park your vehicle in an area that is secure, visible and well
lit
• Utilize crime prevention programs offered through the po-
lice department including "Operation Identification' which
promotes the documentation of important serial numbers on
valuables
• Be aware of your surroundings and any suspicious person (s)
in the area
• Report suspicious activity to the North Palm Beach Depart-
ment of Public Safety at 848-2525
• Ca11 911 to report crimes in progress
Is your vehicle a crime waiting to happen?? Don't let it be. Re-
member that village residents can assist the Department of Public
Safety with the prevention of Auto Bur-
glaries in North Palm Beach. If you
have any questions regarding Auto Bur-
glary Prevention, please contact Officer
Williams at 841-3300.
Tip a Cop for a Cause!
The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety would
like to extend an open invitation to all village residents and
friends to attend an event for a great cause. Again this year we
will be participating in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for
Special Olympics Florida. This year we will be adding a new
"twist" to the event.
On March 14, 2007 at 6:00 PM the Village of North Palm
Beach Law Enforcement Officers will volunteer their time as
waiters in the Village Green Restaurant located at the North
Palm Beach Country Club. The restaurant will be serving an
Italian Buffet Dinner ($15.95 per person) for all guests to en-
joy. Law Enforcement Officers work closely alongside the
regular wait staff, serving water, coffee, and acting as hosts.
The Officers will receive tips to raise funds for Special Olym-
pics Athletes.
The Special Olympics program is committed to empowering
people with intellectual disabilities by working to remove ob-
stacles, change attitudes and open minds Special Olympics
provides opportunities for its athletes to demonstrate courage,
experience joy and share their gifts, skills and friendship with
the world.
Special Olympics over the years has expanded its services in
order to help athletes become healthier, more confident and
capable of serving as leaders, both within Special Olympics
and in their communities.
For every person with a family member who has intellectual
disabilities, Special Olympics is a symbol of hope. The North
Palm Beach Department of Public Safety would like to encour-
age all village residents and friends to assist us with making
these athletes dreams a reality.

Tuesday's and Wednesday_ 's, there seems to be time available on
both of these days.
For those who missed the Grand Opening we had a fair amount of
local and national golf writers in attendance that day. Our first
piece of national exposure carve in the January 26 issue of Golf
World magazine, this small piece has already yielded many phone
calls. Ron Whitten the top 100 guru from Golf Digest was here and
played the course, we might see an article in one of the spring edi-
tions. Lorne Rubenstein from Golf Magazine was also here and
enjoyed the golf course. Florida Golf Journal a new quarterly
magazine is doing a spread in their spring edition. Lastly Jim
Nance and CBS with Jack Nicklaus are doing a documentary on
the Nicklaus Design Finn and their design philosophy. The filming
was done on the North Palm Beach C.C. and should air sometime
this summer. We can look forward to some positive and exciting
press for your new golf course! Until next time keep it down the
middle ! !

DRAINS TO LAKE WORTH LAGOON
The Lake Worth Lagoon is recognized as one of Florida's more
important estuarine lagoon systems. Located in Palm Beach
County, it has an estimated area of over 350 square miles.
Our Village storm water system consists of a series of ditches,
curbs, catch basins and underground pipes. It is designed for
collecting and conveying storm water and discharges into the
North Palm Beach Water Way and then to the Lake Worth La-
goon.
Storm Water runoff is generated from roads, pavement, yards,
driveways and roofs. Efforts to control storm water pollution
must take into consideration the behaviors and activities of indi-
viduals, households and the general public that can generate
these pollutants. Examples of pollutants are: disposal of pet
waste, improper application of lawn chemicals, used paint, oils
and household chemicals.
It is imperative that the public is educated about the dangers and
consequences of ignoring the proper disposal of hazardous ma-
terials. If you witness any illicit discharges or improper dispos-
ing of hazardous material, please call the Public Works Depart-
ment immediately at (561) 691-3440.
DISPOSAL OF
HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
The Solid Waste Authority accepts the disposal of household
hazardous waste items like oil, oil filters, pesticides, paints,
thinner, stains, tires, batteries and block pavers. Visit one of the
five household hazardous waste collection sites located
throughout the county. A full list of items that may be dropped
off at these sites can be found at www.swa.org. This is a free
service provided for residential use only. If you have any ques-
tions or desire more information about residential drop-off loca-
tions or hours, call the SWA at (561) 697-2700 or 1-(866)
SWA-INFO toll -free from southern and western Palm Beach
County.
Construction and demolition debris will not be picked up on
curbside.
RECYCLE BINS
The Public Works Department provides free of charge, the yel-
low (paper/cardboard) and blue (plastic/glass) recycle bins to
the residents of North Palm Beach. They can be picked up at the
Public Works facility at 645 Prosperity Farms Road, Monday -
Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Residents
can also call in at 691-3440 and have
them delivered directly to their house.
Your participation in this program
greatly reduces disposal fees and has a
direct impact on our environment.

ancient techniques can start you on your way to a life trans-
forming experience. Instructor: Joe Hamilton, LMT Fee: $89
