During this holiday season, as
with last year, the Village is running holiday
greetings messages on the digital billboard located
on Frontage Road.
 The
billboard faces the southbound traffic on I-294. As
part of the original agreement with the owner of the
sign, (Clear Channel) the Village is given, free of
charge, a set amount of air time to place messages
on the billboard. There will be three different
messages running from now through the first week of
the new year. These messages run in ten second
spots. Two of those are greetings for the holiday
season.
 One
reads "Happy Holidays" along with the Village
Marquee. The other reads" Peace on Earth". The third
message will read "Happy New Year" along with the
Village Marquee. The artwork was created and
submitted by our webmaster. If you would like to see
the messages displayed you don't have to be on I-294
heading south. You can safely view them on Frontage
Road from Quick Pick Food and Liquor's parking lot.
They really need to be seen live in person and at
night to experience the full color, brilliance and
size of the messages and how much more they stand
out than a regular billboard.
Have A
Safe and Happy Holiday Season |

Public Works Takes On
the Snow in a Professional
Manner |
Since the first
measurable snow fall the Public Works
Department has done an outstanding job
keeping our streets clear of snow and ice.
They have been ready at a moments notice,
24-7 and as always have  performed
in an efficient, timely and professional
manner. They have spent many days without
much sleep due to continuous snow events but
still manage to get the job done as well as
their regular daily routine duties.
While other towns struggle to clear their
main streets, let alone the their side
streets, our
streets are cleared, salted and
Public Works crews are well on their way in
plowing our senior's driveways. (A valuable
service other towns don't offer seniors!)
The proof is if you drive
through the Justice, during or after a snow
event, as you enter another village you will
see a dramatic difference in the condition
of Justice's streets and their streets.
Ours are clear and
safe, theirs are not clear, slick
and can be dangerous.
 Sometimes
it seems that the other villages don't salt
or have salt for their streets. Our Public
Works Department and Village Officials have
the foresight to negotiate contracts with
the salt suppliers well before the winter
season . This guarantees the village a good
price and a replenishing supply of salt
throughout the winter months.
We may not have as much of a tax base and
resources as other towns and villages, but
one thing we have is a Public Works
Department and its crews that are dedicated
professionals that know their job, do it
well and do their job anytime of day or
night when called upon. The Public Works
employees deserve all of the recognition and
thanks for all they do for the residents
throughout the year but especially during
the snowy winter months. Mayor Wasowicz
can't express enough his gratitude, thanks
and appreciation of the job that the Public
Works employees do on a daily basis, and
asks, the next time you see them thank them
for all their hard work, long hours and time
away from their families in keeping your
streets clean and safe!
Remember not to throw or
shovel the snow from your driveway into the
street!
This is
dangerous for passing motorist and
when the plows come back they will push it to
the side onto your driveway and you will
have to clear it again!

911 Seniors Phone Program
During the regular
meeting of the Justice Seniors on Tuesday August 28, 2007 12:30pm at the
Village Hall's all purpose room, there was a special presentation by
the Cook County Sheriff's office of the "911 Seniors
Phone Program". This program provides, free of charge, a cell phone that
only dials 911. These phones when carried by seniors will provide
emergency help at any time. This is extremely helpful to seniors that
live alone or have to be alone for any amount of time. If an emergency
situation of any nature should arise they will be able to call for help.
If you know of a senior
that could benefit from this program, please let them know and or assist
them in participating in this program. Their lives may depend on it!
This program save
lives!
These phones have been
donated. If you have an old cell phone you can drop it off at the
Village Clerk's office. There is a drop box for cell phones at the
counter.
Your involvement in this
program makes it work for all. Please help in any way you can.
Donate a cell phone,
notify or assist a senior in being a part of this program.
Be a part of your community!
