This Week in History

| |
On January 25, 1924, the first Winter Olympics kick off in the Alpine village of Chamonix, France. Originally conceived as "International Winter Sports Week," the Chamonix games were held in association with the 1924 Summer Olympics, held in Paris, and boasted 258 athletes (247 men and 11 women) from 16 nations, competing in a total of 18 events.

| Planning Ahead | | |
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is in the beginning phases of determining options for the I-43 corridor, including on/off ramps between Silver Spring Drive and WI-60. Currently, engineers for the WDOT are developing an environmental impact study, which helps identify key concerns, issues and potential problems within the study area.
On January 30, 2013, the DOT will be holding a public informa tional meeting at Nicolet High School, 6701 N. Jean Nicolet Rd. Glendale, from 5:00pm - 8:00pm. There will also be a public meeting on January 31, at Christ Church, 13460 N. Port Washington Rd., Mequon, from 4:00pm - 7:00pm. These meetings will be held in an open house format, so that interested parties can review exhibits and handouts. WisDOT staff members and consultants will be on hand to answer questions, and provide additional insight to the proposed alternatives. While the project is in the initial phases, and actual construction is not expected to begin for several years, the planning phase serves as a vital opportunity for those to voice their opinion on the project. |
| Spring Primary | |
The Spring Primary Election is being held on Tuesday, February 19 from 7:00am - 8:00pm. For Milwaukee County, the Spring Primary includes contests between the Justice of the Supreme Court and the Milwaukee County Circuit Judge, Branch 45. The Ozaukee County ballot will only include the Justice of the Supreme Court race.
For those who are unable to vote on February 19, or wish to utilize absentee voting, the absentee voting process at Village Hall begins on February 4 and ends on February 15 at 5:00 pm. You can stop into Village Hall during regular business hours to vote during this period.
New Voting Location
Beginning with the Spring Primary election, the Village's voting location will be moved to the gymnasium of Bayside Middle School, located on the north end of the building. Residents will be able to park in the north parking lot, located off E. Ellsworth Lane, and will have direct access to the voting location.
The new location offers several benefits for both election officials and the school, including increased room, greater security benefits, and easier in and out access for voters.

Bring Your Jar In | | |
North Shore Fire/Rescue is partnering with the fourteen Milwaukee County Fire Departments and the Hunger Task Force to collect 100,000 jars of peanut butter for Hunger Task Force. Peanut butter is a staple in Hunger Task Force's distribution of food because it is kid friendly,  nutritious and easy to store. Starting Thursday, January 17, all sixty fire stations in Milwaukee County will be collection points for Hunger Task Force's Peanut Butter Drive. When you are out doing your grocery shopping next, please buy an extra jar of peanut butter and drop it off at Station #5, located at 665 E. Brown Deer Road in Bayside, or drop it off right at Village Hall. |

Don't Throw Your Snow
| | |
Well, at least not where it doesn't belong. When it does snow, make sure you only deposit snow from your property to your property.
Village code outlines snow removal: Sec. 86-72: Snow removed from driveways must be deposited on property from which removed or on village right-of-way adjacent to such property. Snow shall not be carried, thrown or plowed across the public road and deposited on the opposite side.
Please remind all snow removal services of this rule as well, and make sure they don't redirect snow piles to neighboring properties.
