Much of our storm water is funneled, untreated, to the nearest body of water. That could be the pond in your neighborhood, or the lake or wetland down the road. Grass clippings and leaves that go down the storm drain are pollution, too. Just one bushel of grass clippings mowed onto our roads will create about 50 pounds of oxygen-depleting algae in our waterbodies. As they say, "Only rain down the drain." .................................................................................................... \� � � \� Summer Concerts In The Park Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. Market Square Park at The Village July 26th.....Retro Swing Sisters Aug 2nd......Jack and Kitty Aug 9th.......Percolators 1 CHIEF Kelly McCarthy SERGEANTS Eric Petersen Tanner Spicer Peyton Fleming POLICE OFFICERS John Larrive Todd Rosse Jeff VonFeldt Denise Urmann Michael Shepard Nick Gorgos Robin Nelson Philip McCarry Weston RaUerge Peter Renteria Cara Hogan INVESTIGATIONS Chad Willson SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER Steve Hilyar COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER Eric Hagelee SUPPORTSTAFF Kim Henning Trista Miller Shayna Hoechst Becicy Pentel RESERVES Jim Knox Jeff Parker Jon Clayton Dan iverson CHAPLAINS Butch Millett John Snider Alberto Vargas Lynn Liberman Sue Plucker Joel Detlefsen Lenny Andrie JULY 21, 2017 � �, �� � ����C� �!� C���_° �. ��� ���� ���� � �� �� \ � ' Protect you and your loved ones by preparing an emergency plan. How would you contact each other? What steps would you take in different emergency situations? First, start by recognizing the type of emergencies that may tal<e place in your area and brainstorm ways to best respond to them. � Complete a contact card for each family member for everyone to keep with them at all times. Include other phone numbers as well like the police department, fire department and local hospital. � Choose an emergency contact (s). A friend or relative out of town could be one option as they are easier to get a hold of in the case of an emergency affecting your whole area. � Make sure all family members know how to text. In a natural disaster, text may be the only thing that will work on a cell phone due to busy lines. -------------------------------------------------- DISASTER PLAN • Find safe spots in your home for each type of disaster.
