Davis Neighbors’ Night Out

The City of Davis, UC Davis and Associated Students of UC Davis (ASUCD) are planning the




6th ANNUAL DAVIS NEIGHBORS' NIGHT OUT

Sunday, October 9th 2011
You pick the time best for your neighborhood between Noon - 9pm
Davis Neighbors’ Night Out is a celebration of our community. The event is an informal opportunity for neighborhoods to increase familiarity and communication among neighbors by way of a block party. This year’s event is scheduled for Sunday, October 9th 2011 to enable neighborhoods to include new or returning UC Davis students in the festivities. We believe that starting the academic year on a positive note will reduce the potential for misunderstandings or conflicts by opening lines of communication among all residents.
The first Davis Neighbors’ Night Out event in 2006 had 60 neighborhood block parties participating; in 2007; 80 parties; in 2008, 87 parties; in 2009, 143 parties; and 129 parties in 2010.
We are asking for neighbors, neighborhood associations, Neighborhood Watch Liaisons, apartment complexes, and/or homeowner associations to be a “Party Sponsor”. The Party Sponsor will take the lead in setting up an activity such as a potluck dinner, BBQ, dessert party, ice cream social, cake bake or cookie exchange. These activities will give neighbors an opportunity to introduce themselves, exchange phone numbers for neighborhood watch lists or future neighborhood events.
If you sign up to host an event prior to September 5th, you can be entered into a lottery for a special guest to attend. Special guests, including the Mayor, Council members, UC Davis Chancellor/Provosts, ASUCD Senators, and Police and Fire Departments, and Unitrans historic London doubledecker buses visiting events.
Sign up to be a Party Sponsor for your neighborhood, or check to see which other neighborhoods have already signed up.
Party Notes:

• We request that the block parties take place in a common area to create a more welcoming feel and to make it easy to find the event for those who may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood.


• Be sure to invite everyone in your neighborhood. We encourage you to extend a personal invitation to those who may be new to the neighborhood.


• To accommodate individual neighborhood schedules, we are asking each neighborhood to select the best time for their neighborhood to have a party. You can have your party any time between Noon-9 p.m.


• Please sign up to be a Party Sponsor by September 25th.


• Download an invitation you can personalize for your neighborhood.

Forbes Names Lowell in Top Ten “Geekiest” Cities in the US

Forbes recently named Lowell #6 in the Top Ten “Geekiest” cities in the US based upon on the number of employees working in the science and technology fields.  Certainly UML, the new nanotechnology center and ventures such as UML’s  M2D2 have all contributed to this honor.  M2D2 (Massachusetts Medical Device Development Center) provides techinical support to start up medical device ventures and inventors in the form of coordinated access to world-class researchers and resources at the Lowell and Worcester campuses of the University of Massachusetts.
The City Manager via the Business Boost initiative, has witnessed first hand how vital our high tech industry is through visits to such firms as  Auriga Microwave Design, Specialty Materials, Bay State Wire and Cable, and AFL.  In a May 2011 press release announcing the opening of AFL’s Research and Development facility on Lowe’s Way, George Rose,  General Manager of AFL’s Test and Inspection Division said, “Locating our new R&D facility in Massachusetts accelerates our expansion plans and enables AFL to quickly recruit key professional talent. The Lowell facility is also near multiple colleges and universities allowing us to attract new college graduates and partner on development efforts.”  The City’s Economic Development Office continues efforts to promote the City as an attractive place to site businesses such as these.

Kids Can’t Fly – Protect Them From Window Falls

*Kids Can’t Fly theme used with permission from the Boston Public Health Commission.
 Falls are the leading cause of injury to children, and falls from windows involving young children are especially serious. Window falls are preventable. The Lowell Health Department began an educational campaign in the spring of 2010 to offer safety tips for parents and caregivers. This year we are giving away FREE window safety guards.
Each year this campaign will begin early spring, when the weather warms up and people start to think about opening their windows. This campaign will end in the fall when cooler weather comes and windows are no longer opened. Please remember……window screens are designed to keep bugs out and are not strong enough to prevent a child from falling.
To prevent window falls, parents and caregivers should:

• Install window safety guards. Massachusetts building codes require that a window guard must have a quick- release that can be operated by an adult or older child in an emergency.


• Keep all furniture, especially beds, sofas and dressers, or anything else children can climb away from windows.


•  Lock all unopened doors and windows. * Open windows from the top down, especially when there are children in the home. If you have to open them from the bottom, window safety devices such window wedges will limit the opening of a window to 4 inches. If the windows in your home are the newer vinyl windows, look for the pull out tabs on the bottom half of the top window. These tabs are approximately 3-4 inches from the bottom of that window. These tabs, once pulled out, act as a window stopper.

The Health Department still has a limited supply of FREE child safety window guards. One FREE guard per family! Window guards can be picked up at the Health Department at 341 Pine Street. Please call 978-970-4010 ext 9-4304 to schedule a pick-up.
Window guard can also be picked up at the Wish Project, 1A Foundry Street, Lowell. Hours of operation are Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday 9AM to 12Noon or Saturday 11AM to 2PM. Window wedges can be purchased on-line at http://www.windowwedge.com/ Additional window guards can be purchased on-line at http://www.angelguards.com/
The Health Department has partnered with Trinity EMS, Lowell General Hospital, Saints Medical Center, and the Lowell Housing Authority to start up this campaign. Since the start up, public service announcements have been created and are played at the Lowell Cinema before each movie. This year there has been several outreach events at WIC and the Lowell Spinners. South Bay Early Intervention is working closely with their clients to determine if there is a need and then assist those clients to get a FREE window guard and help install it. Vouchers for FREE window guards will be given out from both hospital Emergency Rooms as well as Lowell Community Health Center if a family is identified as having the need. WISH project stores the window safety guards and distributes them to families in need.
Health Department staff will promote child window safety on WCAP on Friday morning, August 8th at 8:20 AM. For more information call the Lowell Health Department at 978-970-4010 Ext. (9) 4304 or visit our website at http://www.lowellma.gov/depts/health/community-health/kid-s-can-t-fly
