An O’Hare International Airport Web site launched in July for people to report aircraft-noise complaints online has been repaired and is now operational.
When the website was originally launched, suburban residents who tried to report complaints using the online complaint form discovered it would not accept addresses outside the city of Chicago.
The online site can be accessed by going to www.flychicago.com/environment/home.shtm and clicking on “Register Aircraft Noise Complaints Online.”
The Illinois Department of Natural Resouces has compiled a homeowner’s guide to floodproofing. It provides information that homeowners can use to help manage and prevent flooding. For the complete guide visit:

Park Ridge residents who have experienced flooding in their home or on their property are encouraged to report this to the city so that these incidents can be documented.

Advocate Lutheran General Hospital will open its new patient tower in 2009. With the growth of the hospital there is a need for additional volunteers. Volunteers receive an orientation and training before stepping into their important roles of providing service to the thousands of patients and visitors who pass through the hospital each year.
If you are interested in volunteering at Lutheran General Hospital, just call Volunteer Services at 847.723.6105 or visit www.advocatehealth.com and click on volunteers.
Effective October 5, 2008, Sunday hours in the post office’s outer lobby will be discontinued. Weekday and Saturday service will continue under current hours.
Customers can purchase stamps by phone at 1-800-STAMP24, at Chicago area Jewel and Dominick’s stores, Sam’s Club and Costco warehouse stores.

Area communities with this service include Des Plaines, Mt. Prospect and Glenview.
Every Wednesday

Ann Limjoco from the office of Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky will answer your personal questions about immigration, visas, social security, veterans’ benefits, and more! Just drop by; no appointment needed.
Use of a regular “land line” telephone is preferred over a cell phone when calling in an emergency, Park Ridge Fire Chief Ed Dubowski notes, so whenever possible, please use a
regular phone for “911” calls.
Visit the Chamber of Commerce website for information about upcoming events, programs, networking opportunities.
Part of the landscaping project in front of the Library includes a new reading garden with benches and a special area of bricks reserved for Library friends. When you purchase an engraved brick for the Library’s Reading Garden, your name will join those of friends, neighbors, local organizations and businesses to show your support for the Park Ridge Public Library.
The deadline for ordering bricks for installation in 2009 is September 1st. Orders placed after that date will be scheduled for installation in 2010. Stop by the Administration Office to view a chart indicating brick placement of installed bricks or to inquire about purchasing a new brick. Thank you for your participation in this fund raising and community recognition effort.
