Pg. 2—Village Manager Village Manager A Message from the Village Manager Jim Kelly 561-841-3380 Dear Residents: It is May already, where has the time gone? Last year I wrote about my mom. She is 90 and her “can do” attitude continues to be a wonderful example for all of us. This year I want to honor the mother and grandmother of my children (3) and grandchildren (8), my beautiful wife Vicki. Vicki and I met at Duquesne University, This year we celebrate our 40th Anniversary. I cannot imagine a more loving and giving person than Vicki, and as I see my children and their families grow I see her loving and giving nature in them. I dedicate the following to all moms, because I want you to know that, while it may not seem like it at the time, you are truly appreciated and loved for everything that you do! When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking By Mary Rita Schilke Korzan When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it and I learned we have to take care of what we are given. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn't looking, I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and produc- tive person when I grow up. When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and wanted to say, "Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking."

Original Badges Worn By Police Officers of the Village of North Palm Beach In 1957 CIT AWARD RECIPIENT IS NPB OFFICER MILLER The 2015 CIT Award recipient was our own North Palm Beach Police Officer Steven Miller. On December 28, 2015, Officer Steven Miller responded to a call in- volving a mentally disturbed male who was suicidal. The male jumped off Earman River bridge and into the Intracoastal waterway. The male was screaming at officers to shoot and kill him. Officer Miller boarded the Marine Unit and talked to the subject while both North Palm Beach and Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office marine patrols guided the male to shallow water. Officer Miller jumped off of the boat and into the water, apprehending the subject without injury.
