The success of the annual Beautification Contest can be seen in the number of homes and businesses awarded this year.  Yard signs and certificates of merit emphasize the pride that many take in the appearance of their properties.

This is not insignificant.  The appearance of our community enhances property values for everyone living and doing business here.  The value of our properties is enhanced by its attractiveness, which is most important in this current real estate market.

Following is the list of yard sign winners in the Business category:

Elim Christian Schook, 13020 Central Ave.; McDonalds, 13630 Cicero Ave.; Chase Bank, 13458 Cicero Ave.; First Midwest Bank, 13500 Cicero Ave.; Complete Collision, 4629 Midlothian Turnpike; Shamrock Paving, 13825 Kostner; Asphalt Testing Lab c/o Seneca Petroleum, 4612 W. 137th St.; The Pointe at Kilpatrick, 14230 Kilpatrick; OTB, 13148 RiverCrest Drive; First Suburban Bank, 5601 W. 127th St.; National Guard Armory, 13838 Sprinfield.

Saturday, Oct. 18, will be the day for the Crestwood Fire Department's 11th annual Health and Fun Fair.  The event will be held at the Nathan Hale Middle School, 135th and Laramie, starting at 9 a.m. and running until 1 p.m.

The Fair's goal is to raise funds for the purchase of firefighting, training and communication equipment to benefit the village.  Previous Fairs have resulted in the purchase of such life-saving equipment as the Jaws of Life, heart defibrillators and thermal imaging cameras.  These have already saved many residents' lives.

For those not intending to participate in the blood-drawing program that will be offered, a good way to start the day will be the special all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast for $6 per person.

Supercuts will be on the scene offering haircuts for a $5 donation (or more), with all proceeds going to the Crestwood Fire Department..

Also on the agenda will be a Keep Your Kids Safe program, which includes fingerprinting and ID cards distributed by members of the Cook County Sheriff's Police.  It is sponsored by Rep. Robert Rita.

Another feature will be the Teddy Bear Clinic sponsored by the Midwestern University Pediatric Medicine Clinic.  Each child will receive a free Teddy Bear.

The Illinois State Police will hold an-always interesting demonstration on vehicle rollovers and offer child safety seat checks.

Again this year, Ingalls Memorial Hospital will hold a screening program for a variety of maladies with a full team of personnel starting at 8 a.m. until 11 a.m. The blood drawing requires fasting for an accurate reading.  Fair veterans suggest you come having fasted for the blood draw and then dig into the pancake breakfast.

For those who haven't fasted, coupons will be sold allowing you to take the tests at a later date.  Screening includes diabetes, cholesterol, prostate cancer, anemia, thyroid disease and cardiac risk.  The testing is offered until 11 am.

Many insurance policies don't cover preventative medicine.  If you don't have insurance, or if your insurance is high-deductible don't miss this opportunity to receive potentially life-saving services at reduced costs.

Flu vaccinations will be given by Value Village Pharmacy of Dolton, subject to availability.  Vaccines will be free to Medicare recipients with proof of insurance.  Medicare HMOs such as Humana are not included.

The Fire Department thanks residents and friends for their past support and looks forward to seeing all of our residents at the Health and Fun Fair.
