RX DRUG DROP BOX in POlice DePT. lOBBY a notice from our police dept. A number of recent “utility scams” have been reported in communities across Northeast Ohio. These scams involve an individual who represents himself as an employee of a utility company who needs to perform an inspection. While the homeowner is assisting this individual, an accomplice enters the home and steals valuables such as cash and jewelry. In order to avoid these scams, here are a few tips to remember: • • Don’t unlock/open the door for unannounced strangers. Talk to them through the door, ask them their business and remember that legitimate utility workers rarely make unannounced home visits without an appointment. Do not be fooled by uniforms or apparent I.D. badges. Tell the individual that you are going to verify who they are with the utility company. Call 911 and ask for an officer to confirm the issue. A prescription drug drop-off box is located in the Police Department lobby for unused, unwanted or expired prescription drugs. Drugs can be dropped off Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. No liquids or needles. No special containers needed. • • • art exhibit Beachwood Community Center MONDAY – FRIDAY • 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM SATuRDAY • 10:00 AM– 3:00 PM SuNDAY • 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM The aRTisTs GROUP Ten GalleRY in kenT Show Dates: September 10 – 27 3D aRT - DRaw, DOODle, DaBBle Kristen Stitzel, Debi Salzman & Cline Siegenthaler .
