Dear Resident:
Welcome to fall and the return of our early winter residents! After a very warn and some what dry summer we certainly welcome
the return of fall. With fall comes the start of the holiday season which is a great time to renew those family commitments!
Veterans Day in the Village will be celebrated on Saturday, November 10'x' at Osborne Park. It is only appropriate that
we remind ourselves of the sacrifice that our men and women in our armed forces have made and continue to make throughout the
history of our country.
Please join us at Osborne Park for the celebration.
One of the rarities of Osborne Park is the fact that it is one of the few parks that is named after an individual. Osborne Park is
named after Ronald G. Osborne who was a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army and was a. resident of the Village of North Palm
Beach. The Army presented the Village with a certificate of appreciation for their patriotic civilian service on 18 March 19
The citation reads as follows: Appreciation is expressed to Mayor Tomas F. Lewis and the citizens of North Palm Beach, Florida
in recognition of their outstanding contributions toward fostering better public understanding of the mission of the United States in
Vietnam. For three years Mayor Lewis and the Village Council have saluted the military forces in Vietnam with a Veterans Day
Proclamation designed especially for them through extensive efforts. Mayor Lewis and the residents of North Palm Beach dedi-
cated one of the parks in the community as the Ronald Osborne Park in tribute to the memory of a local resident, 2nd Lieutenant
Ronald G. Osborne, who was killed in action in Vietnam while serving with the United StatesArnay. Through their unselfish attitude
and personal interest they rendered an invaluable service to the United States Army and their Country. These acts of patriotism
reflect great credit upon Mayor Lewis and the citizens of the Citp of North Palest Beach." SignedlJ.L.Throckmorton, Lieutenant
General, U.SArmy.
68.
That same patriotic and caring attitude as expressed above continues to live on here in the Village when North Palm Beach adopted
the Headquarters Unit of the 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry (Light), 3rd Brigade, 25h Infantry Division, presently stationed in Iraq. Vol-
unteers throughout the Village spent countless hours collecting donations both goods and money in a SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
campaign
On behalf of the Mavor and Village Council, Staff and Employees of the Village of North Pahn Beach we extend our deepest grati-
tude and appreciation to the families and survivors of all those that gave the supreme and ultimate sacrifice for their country. And to
those currently serving we wish a safe and speedy return...
Military Mottos:
�a
ARMY - "This We'll Defend"
NAVY - "Honor, Courage, Commitment"
MARINE CORPS "Semper Fidelis" (Always Faithful)
AIR FORCE - Integrity First, Service before Self, Excellence in All We Do
COAST GUARD - "Semper Paratus" (Always Ready)

MESSAGE FROM
THE PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR
CHIEF JIMMY KNIGHT
On Monday May 28, 2007 the country will observe Memorial
Day. Village Offices will be closed in recognition of the national
holiday. I feel it only appropriate that we remind ourselves of the
sacrifice that our Veterans made throughout the history of our
country.
One of the few parks that is named after an individual is Osborne
Park named after Ronald G. Osborne. Ronald Osborne was a 2nd
Lieutenant in the United States Army and was a resident of the
Village of North Palm Beach. The Army presented the Village
with a certificate of appreciation for their patriotic civilian service
in 1968. According to the certificate of appreciation presented to
then Mayor Thomas F. Lewis and the citizens of North Palm
Beach by the Department of the Army, 2nd Lieutenant Ronald G.
Osborne was killed in action in Vietnam.
It is equally important that this coming Memorial Day we remind
ourselves of the sacrifice the Village's own residents made and
that the name of Osborne Park be in our memories of a young
man that laid his life on the line for his country. On behalf of the
Mayor and Village Council, Staff and Employees of the Village of
North Palm Beach we extend our deepest gratitude and apprecia-
tion to the families and survivors of all those that gave the su-
preme and ultimate sacrifice for their country.

"ASK THE VILLAGE"
One resident asked that we remind residents of our
"pooper scooper" code.
ARTICLE H. DOGS AND CATS
Sec. 4 -31. Persons walking dogs responsible for
removal of waste.
It shall be unlawful for any person, while walking

public sidewalks and swale areas, without removing the fecal mat-
ter immediately after such defecation has ended.
(Ord. No. 8 -79, § 1, 5- 10 -79)
See. 4 -32. Persons walking dogs to carry waste - removal imple-
ments.

Another resident asked that we remind our residents that sub-
scribe to the flag program that as your flags become torn,
faded, frazzled, etc. they may be replaced. Just bring your flag
to the Public Safety Department at 561 U. S. Highway One
and they will give you a replacement.
We welcome your concerns and questions and look forward to
next month.
The newly renovated golf course was completed in November
2006 and since we are in the fifth month of play on the course
the Village has a question for you! Share your experiences of
the new course with us either by mail or email us at:
publicinfo @village - npb.org.
We look forward to hearing from you!
IS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD READY TO
RESIST CRIME?
The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety would
like for all village residents that are interested in participating
with the police department to prevent crime on their block to
organize a Neighborhood Watch Program.
Neighborhood Watch is a self help program. It gets members
of the community and law enforcement working together to
reduce crime and the fear of crime, and makes your neighbor-
hood safer and more secure. Neighbors make a community
effort to work with the police and protect each other and their
property. A neighborhood where people are alert to the poten-
tial of crime and willing to lookout for one another's interests
is a neighborhood where crimes are least likely to occur.
Very few people are in the position to protect their homes and
property 100% of the time. Vacation trips, business trips,
shopping, work, and evenings out will leave homes unattended
and vulnerable to burglary.
If you have any questions regarding the Neighborhood Watch
Program, please contact Officer Williams at 841 -3300.
TRAFFIC ORIENTED POLICING
(TOP)
The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety is com-
mitted to the safety of its citizens. A Safe Community is a
community that promotes traffic safety and injury prevention.
TOP is a program which requires members of the community
and law enforcement to work together to reduce traffic prob-
lems in North Palm Beach. It uses an approach to involve resi-
dents in addressing traffic problems and safety concerns in the
village. We would like your help to determine specific areas
of concern. Please contact Officer Williams at 841 -3300 or
email us at traffic(a village -nag. You can remain anony-
mous.
The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety wants all
of our residents to know the North Palm Beach Department of
Public Safety Building is always open! We never close the
building or lock the front door, North Palm Beach Police Offi-
cers, Fire Fighters, Paramedics and Dispatchers are in the
building 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!
