PUBLIC NPB SAFETY
WANTED: SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS—The Public Safety Department
is in need of School Crossing Guards for the upcoming school year. Both regular
(those who work each school day) and part-time (those who fill in when the regular
guard is unavailable) positions are available. The work hours are approximately 3
hours per day, split between morning and early afternoon. On the job training is
provided and the pay rate is $18.54 per day. For more information, contact Lieut.
Clay Walker at 848-2525.
VACATION SECURITY: School's out and you're off on the family vacation.
Make sure your happy memories stay that way by returning to a secure home.
• Before you leave, figure out ways to make your home look lived in during your time away. Use light
timers, stop mail and newspaper deliveries, and have a neighbor check your house from time to time,
removing any obvious clues that you are away.
• If you keep house keys in obvious hiding places, remove them before you go away.
• While on vacation, take limited cash and use travelers checks. Also, with so many cash machines
around the country, it is easy to get more cash when you need it.
• If you are staying in hotels, take advantage of their safe deposit boxes for your valuables.
• Remember the purpose of vacations is to relax. By preparing in advance, you can take the next few
weeks off!

SUMMER SAFETY TIPS: Do not leave lawn equipment, bicycles and sporting
goods lying idle in your yard, or in the open garage in plain view from the street.
If you see anything or anyone unusual or out of the ordinary, please call the Police
Department, 848-2525, or dial 911. There have been several thefts throughout the
Village, but with your help and cooperation, and by being careful of your property,
we can possibly prevent you from becoming a victim this summer. This is also a
good time to activate a Neighborhood Crime Watch program. For further
information, call Officer Clark at 848-2667.
REMINDERS FOR POOL USERS: Remember that half of all drowning deaths happen to adults and kids
who can swim. Swimming pools should be fenced with self-closing, locking gates. If entry to a pool from
the house is possible and there are children, the sliding door or screen should be shut and locked whenever
you leave the pool area. Do not rely on inner tubes, rubber mattresses, or balls as life preservers. Pool
owners and users should know how to perform CPR (cardio -pulmonary resuscitation). Own and know how
to use a safety crook to snag a person in trouble. Own and know how to store, throw, and retrieve a floating
safety device. Never allow rough-housing in a pool. Diving off the shallow end of a pool, and diving into
a shallow above -ground pool are two primary causes of spinal injuries. It should not be allowed.
NEW HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION
SITE: The Solid waste Authority has opened a new household
hazardous waste collection site at 14185 Military Trail, Jupiter
14 V
(north of Donald Ross Road) . Residents should .take waste
motor oil, auto fluids, paint, thinners, pesticides, pool
chemicals, rechargeable batteries, propane tanks and the like
directly to this site for proper disposal. The Village Sanitation
crews cannot pick-up these materials. For more information and hours of operation, call the Solid
Waste Authority's Hazardous waste Hotline at 697-2700.
GARAGE SALES: We are beginning to notice garage sale signs improperly posted on street corners,
utility poles, etc. This is a good indication that the garage sale did not receive the required permit and
will cause the Code Enforcement Officer or Public Safety Officer to remove the signs and visit the
location. There is no charge for the permit and it may be obtained from the Department of Public
Services, 645 Prosperity Farms Road. Garage sale hours are restricted from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
There is a maximum of two sales per calendar year at any one address. One sign only, 2 feet x 3 feet
maximum may be erected on sale property only (not on Swale). The sign may be erected one day prior
to the sale and must be removed on the last day of the sale.
DOCKS, PIERS, SEAWALLS, MOORING POSTS: waterfront residents and owners are required
to keep these structures in good repair and sound structural condition. Improperly maintained structures
are an eyesore and can be a hazard to boats. Since the Code Enforcement Officer is unable to visit
behind many houses, neighbors and boaters are encouraged to contact the Public Services Department,
626-0212, to report possible violations. Callers can remain anonymous.
POOL INSPECTIONS: Every summer the Village inspects all swimming pools to assure the required
fences or screen enclosures are in place and properly maintained. Make sure all gates and doors are
equipped with a self-closing and self -latching device designed and capable of keeping such door or gate
securely closed at all times when not in use, and prevent any child from opening such door or gate.
Please cooperate with the inspector and promptly make repairs as directed.

MANAGER'S MESSAGE
DENNIS W. KELLY On August 13, 1996, the Village of North Palm
Beach turns 40 years old. To commemorate this
occasion, the Village Council has appointed an
' Anniversary Committee to organize and conduct the
Village's 40th Birthday celebration. To chair the Committee, the Village Council brought
out of retirement former Mayor Judy Pierman, who is doing an outstanding job of
organizing the party. The actual celebration will be on Saturday, August 17, 1996, at
Lakeside Park. The activities start at 10:30 a.m. with the dedication of the wood
sculptures at Lakeside Park as a gift to the Village from the sculpture committee.
Throughout the morning there will be a live band (the Al McKenna Orchestra), a
ceremonial cutting of the birthday cake and the kickoff of a new beautification program
for the Village. Following those activities there will be hamburgers, hotdogs, soft drinks
and fun sponsored by the Village Recreation Department.
1
This will be a fun event; if you have not seen the sculptures at Lakeside Park, then by
all means make an extra effort to attend the birthday celebration. If you have seen the
sculptures and want to enjoy celebrating the Village's 40th birthday, bring friends and
neighbors to the birthday party. The celebration is open to all residents of North Palm
Beach. The original Council of North Palm Beach were comprised of Mayor Charles A.
Cunningham, Vice Mayor Richard E. Ross, Council Members John A. MacArthur, John
A. Schwenke and J. H. White. The only surviving member of that original Council is
Mr. Jack Schwenke and, as of this writing, Councilman Schwenke has been invited to
be the special Guest of Honor for the 40th birthday celebration.
The Country Club will participate by sponsoring a free swim on Sunday, August 18 at
the Country Club pool and free tennis at the tennis courts (look for details and coupons
elsewhere in this Newsletter) . The golf shop will conduct a birthday tournament on
Sunday also for the golfers. Check the pro shop for details.
