The Homewood village board honored retiring public works employee Harry Hammock as he finished his 35-year career with the village.
Special recognition for outstanding service to the Village of Homewood was given to outgoing Public Works Department employees Dave Rubarth and Jim Tresouthick who retire on Dec. 31.
Two Homewood Public Works staffers, Bryon Doerr and Jim Tresouthick, recently were honored for their landscaping and forestry work in the village and the region.
The Homewood village board approved a lease for a new storm sewer cleaner at its June 13 meeting. The village also approved funding to replace a portion of fencing along 183rd Street just west of the viaduct that was damaged in a traffic accident.
The weather apparently didn't get the memo that Homewood had a big day of events planned for Saturday, May 20. 
Big machines will be on display and in action May 20-21 at the annual Homewood Rail Fest, the Homewood Public Works Open House and the Homewood-Flossmoor Park District's Touch a Truck event. The Homewood Science Center will host a PopUp Science event with activities that explore the physics of railroads and rollercoasters.
Homewood will celebrate National Public Works Week by giving local residents a chance to see what it's like to be on the Public Works staff. For three hours on Saturday, May 21, residents young and old will have a chance to see, touch and try the big machines that workers use to maintain and improve village infrastructure.
