Fall Tree Planting CompletedThe 20l3 fall tree planting was completed with the planting of 50 trees at

various locations throughout the City. Trees absorb storm water runoff, absorb various pollutants, produce oxygen

and help reduce summer temperatures. Trees also improve property values as well,and studies have indicated that a block with mature trees also tends to slow downtraffic. Trees also absorb and reduce urban noise – produced by airplanes, carsand other sources.

If you have space on your parkway and would like to have a tree planted, callthe Public Works Department at 708-562-0940 to reserve your tree for the fallplanting.

Please remember that trees in the City’s right of way belong to the City andcannot be cut unless permission is first obtained from the Public WorksDepartment. The right of way is generally the area 20 feet behind the curb. If youhave a question or concern about a tree in this area, please call the Public WorksDepartment at 708-562-0940.

Twelve Ways to Prevent the FluFlu season is mainly a fall and winter virus. It changes from year to year

and spreads easily. It infects the nose, throat and lungs. Symptoms includefever, chills, sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, fatigue, headache and muscleache. However, there are ways that the flu can be prevented.

1. Get immunized each year. A yearly flu vaccine is the best protectionagainst seasonal flu. The vaccine is recommended for people 6months of age and older.

2. Wash your hands. Do it often and do it well. Use soap and water.Scrub all surfaces for at least 20 seconds.

3. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Use it any time soap and water arenot available. Make sure the hand sanitizer is at least 60% alcohol.

4. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. The flu virus can live onother people’s hands or on surfaces. It can get on your hands if youtouch that person or thing. Then the virus can enter your body if youtouch your eyes, nose or mouth before washing.

5. Cover coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue. Then wash your hands.

6. Clean and disinfect regularly. This can help kill the flu virus onsurfaces. Focus on areas that are touched often. Some examples:kitchen counters, bather faucets, door knobs, telephones, handrailsand keyboards.

7. Take care of yourself. Healthy habits can help boost your immunesystem. Get plenty of sleep. Eat a variety of healthy foods every day.Drink plenty of water. Get regular physical activity. Manager yourstress: take breaks and try relaxation techniques.

8. Keep your distance from sick people. If a family member has the flu,wash your hands often. Try to avoid crowded place and publicgatherings as much as possible.

9. Don’t share personal items. Avoid sharing: eating utensils, towels,cups or straws, toothbrushes.

10. Teach children good hygiene habits. School age children are morelikely to catch and spread the flu. Teach them how to: properlycover coughs and sneezes. Wash hands well (20 seconds).

11. If you have the flu, avoid spreading it. Stay home while you aresick. Generally, this is until at least 24 hours after a fever is gone.Follow your health provider’s advice. Take any medication exactly asprescribed.

12. Prepare for the next flu pandemic. Keep an emergency kit stockedwith food, water and other supplies to last for at least 2 weeks incase of a severe pandemic. A kit can help if you must stay home or ifsupplies run low.

For more information, you can contact the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention at 1-800-232-4636.
