season officially began on June 1st and ends December 1st. Many residents and businesses have installed window and door protection to insure the safety of their properties, fortunately
we did not have to utilize the protection last year and hopefully that will be the case this year. The best time to think about safety and preparation is before the threat of an event.
Hurricane preparation begins with: ? Plan a trial run for shutter installation before they are needed. ? Use protection for you hands when installing the equipment. ? Mark shutters as
they are installed to make future installations easier. ? Secure outside property safely to ?to avoid property damage or injury. ? Trimming of vegetation should be done well before
the season begins not when a warning or watch has been established. Debris must be piled in the swale and not in the road. ? Make sure you have plenty of emergency supplies on hand and
check all expiration dates. ? Most importantly BE SAFE! If you have any questions please contact Village Hall or refer to www.village-npb.org for an in-depth look at hurricane preparedness
and several other helpful links. See “Departments” and then “Community Development.” Village of North Palm Beach Presents... July 4th, 2008 Red, White & Boom!! Schedule of Events: All

T h e V i l l a g e N E W S L E T T E R P a g e 3 J U L Y 2 0 0 8 In 1903, there was a very large building erected on what is now called Big Munyon Island. It was Dr. Munyon’s Hygia
Hotel. It was build in the early 1900’s and destroyed by fire a few years later. Dr. Munyon was a colorful and inventive character. He piped water over from the mainland and made a “SPRING”.
The water from the “SPRING” was especially for his guests who were told that drinking from it was very beneficial. It was Sulphur Water and even John D. McArthur vouched for it’s benefits!
Dr. Munyon also sold bottles of his “Great Natural Remedy”. His formula was the Doctor’s secret and he had great faith in efficacy of his tonic. The label said it was great remedy for
indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach ailments. It also cured nervousness, a host of other ailments and was also a tonic for furnishing blood to pale people giving them life and snap
to the overworked and rundown. It was advertised to make “old people feel young and the weak weak feel strong”. Too bad the formula is not available today since Dr. Munyon carried the
secret formula to his grave! Find out more about this interesting gentleman in the historian’s archives in the Library. We are here Monday, Wednesday and Friday -10:00 until noon. 1-561-841-3371

fireworks being mishandled. Don’t become a statistic; enjoy fireworks by watching one of the professionally produced shows such as the Village’s display at the North Palm Beach Country
Club. If you still insist on personal fireworks, remember if it makes a noise or fires a projectile -it is illegal for personal use. Have a happy and SAFE Fourth! Chief Steve Canfield
The Village of North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety Presents: 2008 National Night Out August 5, 2008 5:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Chief Steve Canfield and The North Palm Beach Department
of Public Safety would like you to mark your calendda for the 2008 National Night Out!! This is the nation’s largest annual crime and drug prevention event and North Palm Beach is taking
part! The North Palm Beach Department of Public Safety is asking ALL residents and businesses to participate in this event by organizing block parties, cookouts, and flashlight walks
in addition to turning your front porch lights on and leaving them on throughout the night. This event sends a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized
and fighting back. We want them to know that we care about our community and that these are OUR neighborhoods! A strong community makes for a safe community. Your Public Safety Department
will visit your neighborhood block party or apartment gathering to discuss crime trends in your area, to answer any questions, and to continue building partnerships with this great community.
We also bring along McGruff the crime dog, our K-9, Motorcycle, Bike Patrol, and Police and Fire Truck Units and provide police demonstrations. We had a great turn out last year and
look forward to getting to know this community even better through this year’s event. Hundreds of people came out to the Community Center on June 11th to meet 2nd Battalion Commander
-Lt. Col. Drew Meyerowich and be a part of the first official “Wolfhound Day”! (Proclaimed by Mayor Manuel that night.) It was a proud moment when Lt. Col. Meyerowich was also presented
with the first ever “Key to the Village”. A musical photo montage was shown by “Support our Troops” and many questions were answered by the Lt. Col., while he showed slides to the crowd
as well. Awards were given to the many volunteers who make sure our adopted troops get what they want and need without fail and Senator Atwater’s speech brought a tear to most everyone’s
eye. It was certainly a memorable evening! If you are interested in participating and hosting a block party on your street, contact Officer Angela Williams at 561-841-3300.
Public Public Leisure General Debt Building Safety Works Services Government Service Where does all the money go… This question comes up every budget year as residents consider their
tax bills. It’s a fair question. Residents are very aware that most of the valued services (fire and police services, parks and recreation, and streets and sanitation) come from their
local governments. However, the majority of the property (ad valorem) tax dollar goes to jurisdictions other than North Palm Beach. So, the answer to question can be answered simply…
Only 31¢ of your tax dollar goes to the Village of North Palm Beach! Where does all the money go (part 2)…. Ok..so where does the 31¢ go once it gets to the Village? Palm Beach County

T h e V i l l a g e N E W S L E T T E R J U L Y 2 0 0 8 P a g e 1 0 Extreme heat and hot offshore action is the name of the game for the Palm Beaches. The summer offshore fishing will
provide a mixed bag of species for anglers, and lots of bait. The Dolphin will be plentiful along with Kingfish, Wahoo, Amberjacks, Tuna , and a few Sailfish. The best way to target
all of these species is by using live bait, trolling and drifting dead sardines near the bottom. The beaches will provide great action and sight fishing for Snook and Tarpon early in
the morning. These fish can be seen cruising the troughs and structured bottom. Live baits and artificial lures will keep the drag screaming for all anglers. The inlets are another great
spot to look for Snook and Tarpon as well as Snapper and a few grouper. Lead weight are a must and be sure to use circle hooks for the Snook. Well as I always say you cant catch them
from the couch so get out there and get hooked up. Tight Lines! Capt. Craig Korczynski NEW FEATURE! PhlatsInshoreFishing.com ~ PalmBeachFishingGuides.com ~ 561-644-4372 Tennis Center

are some good practices to consider when playing on hot days: ????Avoid caffeine and drink water instead at least 1 hour before you hit the courts. Continue to drink water or sports
drinks at changeovers and also for at least 1 hour after you stop playing. ????Put sunscreen on before going out to the court. ????Wear light colored clothes, sunglasses and a hat. Change
your shirt when you are finished before you get into your air conditioned car. ????If you feel faint, dizzy, chilly or stop sweating, STOP playing and get indoors immediately! Seek medical
attention if these symptoms persist.

T h e V i l l a g e N E W S L E T T E R P a g e 1 3 J U L Y 2 0 0 8 The North Palm Beach Country Club is proud to announce THE FIRST TIME EVER Summer Golf Memberships to our newly redesigned
Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course! A limited number of summer memberships have been made available to both residents and non-residents at an individual cost of $700.00. Summer memberships
run from May 1st through September 30th and affords all rights and privileges as that of a regular membership. Memberships can be purchased from either the Country Club Golf Shop or
your Village Hall. For any questions relating to the Summer Memberships please call Danielle at 561-691-3360 or the Golf Shop at 561-691-3433. We hope to see you out there… Today we
are going to discuss a common golf swing issue, the “over the top” move. The “over the top” swing as it is commonly called is a swing from outside the target line to inside the target
line on the downswing. This promotes a shot that starts left of the target, for right handed players and right of the target for left handed players. For most players this will produce
a slice, a shot most of us are all too familiar with. To correct this move we need to get our club to approach the ball on the down swing from a shallower arc or more from the inside
of the target line. Our target line is a straight line from our ball to our intended target. Where our body lines up is on the inside of the target line. The “over the top” moves happens
due to our shoulders starting the downward move to the ball rather than our arms starting the swing down first. We need to get our arm swing to turn our shoulders back and our arm swing
to un-turn our shoulders thru the strike. A good and simple practice drill is to pull our back foot off of the target line and keep it on the ground throughout the swing. DO NOT LIFT
YOUR BACK HEAL OFF OF THE GROUND DURING THIS DRILL. Make a half to 3 quarter back swing at half speed then let your arms drop or fall back to the ball in a tension free downswing. The
shoulders stay back allowing the arms to freely swing down. Once you get the hang of it, the swing becomes freed up and the club can approach the ball more from an inside path which
will give you greater distance and control. Give me call I can help you fix your “ over the top” move. On another note Jack Nicklaus made a site visit at the end of April. He toured
the course from the first tee to the eighteenth green. Jack liked the way the course was coming around and could see the progress that has been made. Jack offered up some of his thoughts
to our superintendent Shane Maguire. These thoughts will be implemented over the course of the summer. We do lose sight of the fact that the golf course has been open only 18 months,
had 2 droughts and has played over 80,000 rounds of golf. That is a lot of rounds!! You have a wonderful golf course, let’s keep promoting it as a first class venue!!! DRIVING RANGE
