Police Working Overtime this Weekend to Keep You Safe
|
|
 Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over
As 2015 comes to a close, the Lake Zurich Police Department will be working overtime this New Year's holiday weekend. The effort has one simple goal - to save lives and reduce fatalities and serious injuries on Illinois roadways.
Lake Zurich Police Sergeant Goodyear reminds everyone, "If you are going to drink this holiday, plan another way home before the celebration begins - and always remember to buckle up."
During last year's New Year's holiday period, 10 people lost their lives and 856 were injured in motor-vehicle crashes in Illinois. Five of the 10 fatalities resulted from crashes in which a driver had been drinking.
Do your part to make this a safe holiday weekend and achieve zero fatalities by following these simple rules:
- Plan ahead. Designate a sober driver before going out and give that person your keys.
- If you've been drinking, call a taxi, use mass transit or call a sober friend or family member.
- Promptly report drunk drivers you see on the roadways to law enforcement.
- Wear your seat belt and make sure all passengers are safely buckled up. It is your best defense against a drunk driver.

Radon Gas Testing Kits Available through the Health Department
|
|
 Short-Term Kits Available for $10
Radon increases the risk of lung cancer and the best time to check for radon is during cold weather when windows and doors remain closed.
Short-term test kits are available through the County Health Department for $10. The cost includes return postage, laboratory analysis and interpretation by Health Department staff. Test kits are also available from area hardware and building supply stores.
Radon, an odorless and colorless gas naturally found in rock and soil, seeps into homes from the soil through cracks in the basement floor and foundation, crawl spaces, poorly sealed sump pumps, floor drains, porous cinder block walls and other foundation floor and wall penetrations. Although radon gas is measurable everywhere, the highest readings are normally found in the basement and first floor levels of homes and apartments.
