Stick Up for the Arts! Stick Up for the Arts!

The week of April 18th is the beginning of vehicle sticker sales in the City of Park Ridge.

Included in the notice you will receive in the mail from the City will be a request to participate in support of the many cultural organizations in the City that you enjoy. In prior years, the City has used your tax dollar to make contributions of financial support to these groups but we too are affected by the declining economy and can no longer afford these contributions at the expense of funding other public services.

For a $10 contribution towards these Cultural organizations, you will receive a sticker that you can proudly display in your vehicle, a window next to your front door or any location that will remind you and those that see that sticker, that you understand the importance of Friday symphony concerts in Hodge’s Park, Brickton Center Art classes, Kalo silver displays and the Historic Society’s collection of Park Ridge Historical photos and documents.

By adding just $10 to the amount of the check you write the City for your vehicle stickers, we will see that these funds are directed to the continuation of the many activities that contribute to the character of our Community.

I know that the Mayor and Aldermen join me and encourage your participation in support of these worthwhile causes.

Sports lenses protect the wearer’s eyes. Sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses and side shields should be worn when participating in racquetball, tennis, and soccer. Sports such as tennis, baseball, softball, and racquetball may see ball speeds of 90 mph or more. In baseball alone, there are over 500,000 injuries per year! But that is not the most common cause of sports-related eye injuries.

Most eye injuries occur in basketball, where an elbow or a finger jabbed into the eye can cause corneal abrasions, fractured bones, retinal detachments, or even blindness. Polycarbonate lenses are more resistant to impact than glass or plastic and offer protection for 90% of eye injuries. Protective eyewear fits well, features a padded bridge, has prescription or non-prescription lenses, and has deep-grooved eyewires to prevent the lens from falling out. You'll notice that these glasses seem to fit snugly and look smaller than traditional glasses.
