The number one reason for this is unattended cooking. In these busy times we get distracted by the phone or someone at the door or the kids with that must do school project, and we leave something cooking on the stove. By the time you return a fire has started. Please don't fall victim to this all too repeated story. If you must walk away from the stove, even for what you think will be "just a minute" turn the stove off, turn those pot handles in so they don't hang over the edge to be knocked over and resume cooking when you return and can stay with it. If you have any questions regarding cooking fires; or any other fire safety topic, please contact us at (561) 882 -1141.

Tennis Follow the Village on NIXLE.COM From the Director While we may not all be able to hit 300-yard drives or spin a wedge back on a green, there is something we all can do to greatly improve our scores. We can all try to learn to make more putts. I could give you a lot of information on what type of putter to use; how to grip your putter and how to make a great stroke, but I'll save those lessons for another time. This month I'm simply going to give you a game to play to help get your mind trained to try to make more putts. Use 3 balls and find a fairly flat, fairly straight, 15' putt. Putt all three balls and follow these four rules... Make all 3 = You Win! Make 2 of 3 = Move 3' closerto the hole and putt again Make 1 of 3 = Putt again from same distance Make U of 3 = Move 3' furtherfrom the hole and ;putt again Keep playing until you make all 3 balls from the same distance. If you get 30' away, start over at the 15' mark. If you're struggling with the game„ you may want to begin 12' from the hole. In addition to hopefully being a fun way to practice putting; there are several great things this game does: • Instills the habit of trying to make ,putts from these lengths • Teaches you distance control in 3' increments • Forces you to concentrate on EVERY putt (at least if you want to make all 3) • Trains your mind to be positive by seeing putts go into the hole Try this game the next time you have 10 minutes or so to hit some putts. You might be surprised h can improve your putting and have you making more putts on the course! r jfrXfrfrA# 351 US Highway One North Pahn Beach, Florida 33408 1 Located Inside the North Pair» Beach Country Club OseOld a al�A�aa Permanent Garbage Pickup Schedule Mondays - Garbage only Tuesdays - Trash, Bulk Items & Vegetation Wednesdays - Garbage only Thursdays - Trash, Faulk Items.
