Coyote Safety Info 

We have received a few reports of coyote sightings in the Village. Most coyotes are not harmful to humans or larger pets, but they can be very dangerous to smaller pets and other small animals. The Village of Bayside has an excellent web resource on coyotes that includes helpful tips for residents. We encourage concerned residents to check it out... http://www.bayside-wi.gov/?nid=152

Spring Bike Safety 

As we approach (finally) warmer weather, kids will be out biking, skateboarding and playing sports.   The North Shore Health Department would like to remind parents and children to check the fit of the bike and the helmet before warm weather gets here, and replace helmets if they are too old or too small to be effective.   Like car seats, bicycle helmets have a limited time that they are effective.   While car seats "expire" after approximately 6 years, bike helmets have a usable lifespan of about 5 years.   Especially in our climate, with very hot and very cold weather, the helmet components lose strength and are at risk for failure.   Additionally, while many sports require helmets for safe participation, bicycle helmets are not the right helmet for all sports.   Contact the North Shore Health Department for information on which helmet to use for various activities, or use our website to link to www.SafeKids.org.
