Dog Days of Summer Roll In.
Now Enjoy More HD Channels
Only On digiMAX
As the long days of summer start
winding down toward the end of
this month and the new school year

It has been a hot busy summer this
year, and MTCO is always trying
to be involved in our community.
During The Marseilles Fun Days we
had an area for the kids to enter a
coloring contest. The three coloring
contest winners are Nevaeh (age
bracket of 3-4 years old), Natalie (57), and Marissa (8-10). The contest
kicked off at the Illinois Valley
Cellular/digiMAX sponsored Movie
Night in the Park at Knudson Park
on June 25th ending on Friday, June
29th. Thank you to all of the kids
who participated in the contest.
At MTCO, we always say how

such a great little community here in
Marseilles. We hope we have earned
your trust over all of these years,

Rare Cinematic Gems from the
1930s Coming to DVD
Four cinematic gems from the 1930s that have been
unavailable for years are coming to DVD this August
in a unique collection
from Turner Classic
Movies
(TCM)
and Universal
Studios Home
Entertainment
( U S H E ) .
Released
as
part of the TCM
Vault Collection,
the
Universal
Rarities: Films
of the 1930s set
features some of
the biggest stars
of the era, including
W.C. Fields in Million Dollar Legs (1932), Mae West in
Belle of the Nineties (1934), Jack Benny in Artists &
Models (1937) and Gary Cooper and George Raft in
Souls at Sea (1937).
The Universal Rarities: Films of the 1930s collection
will be available exclusively through TCM’s online
store at http://www.shop.tcm.com, beginning
August 6. The set features extensive digital bonus
materials, such as photos, posters, lobby cards and
more.
Windows 8
Computers running on the next version of Microsoft’s
operating system, Windows 8, will go on sale in
October. This release date means manufacturers will
have their hands on Windows 8 at the beginning of
August so they can get their products ready.
Windows RT, the tablet-friendly version of Windows
8, should hit the shelves around the same time as the
full-fledged version. Microsoft also plans to make
its own tablet called Surface, to compete with other
tablets like the iPad and Kindle Fire.
25th Anniversary of Shark Week
Discovery Channel kicks off Shark Week
programming on Sunday, August 12, 2012 at 8:00
p.m. CST. Eight all-new shark-filled specials will get
you so close to the action, if you were any closer you
would be bait!
In a groundbreaking partnership, a Stanford
University research team sets out to tag the great
whites of the Farallons off the coast of California in
Great White Highway. They attempt to trace where
the ocean’s apex predators are migrating in the
Pacific, where they are meeting and maybe where
they go to give birth--something that continues to
elude scientists.
Also new this year:
Adrift: 47 Days with Sharks is an inspiring true
story of two war heroes who survived shark-infested
waters.
MythBuster’s Jawsome Shark Special counts down
the top 25 shark myths of all time and reveal the #1
myth that will literally blow people away.
Shark Week’s 25 Best Bites relives some of the
scariest, funniest and most memorable moments of
the past 24 years of Shark Week.
For full coverage of shows, challenging online shark
puzzles, shark cams and more, go to sharkweek.com
One Car Too Far
Premieres Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at
9:00 p.m. CST
A former British Special Forces operative and an
American car junkie are dropped into incredible
landscapes and forced to work together to survive
and escape to safety. From the treacherous slopes
of a near-freezing mountain top, to the wet, dense
vegetation of the rainforest, they use whatever
supplies they can find to turn a regular car into an
all-purpose vehicle to get them through.

America’s Night Out Against
Crime
Low Cost Vaccination Clinic For
Dogs And Cats
The Marseilles Police Association will again be hosting the
National Night Out on Tuesday, August 7, 2012 from 6:00
p.m. - 10:00 p.m. at Knudson Park.
The No Animal Left Behind NFP is located north of
Marseilles (LaSalle County), and their goal is to help
the stray animal problem in LaSalle County and
improve the well-being of as many cats and dogs as
possible. Volunteers coordinate these events, and
local businesses help to support them. They offer
a service to the public, and cats and dogs from all
counties are welcome at their clinics.
Come enjoy a cook out, music, games, balloons, a Fire
Department demonstration, popcorn, door prizes, face
painting and more. This year’s event will also include a
performance from “Those Funny Little People,” which is
a great family oriented performance that children and
adults will both like.
National Night Out is a
nationwide event that is hosted
by thousands of communities
throughout the U.S. to send a
message out to criminals that
we will not put up with crime in
our community.
Marseilles Swimming Pool Hours
The Marseilles Swimming Pool begins reduced “back-toschool” hours on August 15,
2012. The pool will be open
for adult swim from 10:00
a.m. until Noon, and then
it will open again from 3:30
p.m. until 6:00 p.m. to the
general public.
Last Sunday Of The Month Means
“All You Can Eat Pancakes”
Every month the VFW and the American Legion team
up to bring you “All You Can Eat Pancakes”. This month
the pancakes will be served on August 26, 2012 at the
Marseilles American Legion Hall, 571 Rutland Street, from
8:00 a.m. until 12 noon. Adults are only $5 and children
under 12 are only $3.50. Mark your calendars to come out
and support your local Legion and VFW. Call (815) 7954068 for more information.
The clinics are offered one day per month, and for the
month of August the clinic will be held August 12,
2012 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The cost for 1 year
Rabies is $15, 3 year Rabies is $30. The profit from
the Vaccination Clinics is used to financially support
spay/neuter of cats and dogs for senior citizens and
low income individuals. They are always looking for
volunteers, donations, and support of any fashion. For
more information or questions you can reach them at
815-795-3859.
Rabies Vaccination Compliance
Check
Since July 9, 2012 the Marseilles Police Department in
cooperation with the LaSalle County Animal Control
have been conducting a city wide rabies vaccination
compliance check. The compliance check will
continue until completion. Pet owners are urged to be
up to date on your pet’s vaccinations. Please have your
pet’s vaccination records available. You may attach
your vaccination records to your door making them
visible by animal control if you will be unavailable. Pet
owners who are not current with pet vaccinations will
receive a citation from LaSalle County Animal Control.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact the
Marseilles Police or LaSalle County Animal Control.
Market in The Park
The Marseilles Market in The Park is entering the
harvest time of the year this month. Be sure to
stop by and see what fresh vegetables, fruits, and
homemade baked goods are offered. It runs every
Wednesday from Noon until 5:00 p.m. in Knudson
