Voter Registration Information

If you are new to Shorewood or have recently moved to a new location within Shorewood, you may wish to take a few moments to register to vote in the upcoming August Primary and November General Elections.

August 12, 2014 Partisan Primary Election

On December 1, 2011, Wisconsin Act 75 became law.  This legislation contains significant changes to election laws as well as changes to the election calendar.  Most notably the "September Primary" has been renamed the "Partisan Primary," and has been set for the second Tuesday in August, this year on August 12, 2014.  Many of the changes relate to the requirements of the Federal M.O.V.E Act which ensures that all Military and Overseas electors have ample time to receive and return absentee ballots. 

At a partisan primary, each voter is limited to voting for candidates in one political party.  This has been the law in Wisconsin since the early 1900s.  Remember, voters are allowed to choose a party, i.e. Democrat, Republican, Constitution and vote for individual candidates within that party only.  Cross over voting (voting for candidates in more than one party) may void your ballot.

The races on the August 12, 2014 Partisan Primary ballot include candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Representative in Congress, Representative to the Assembly, Sheriff, Clerk of Circuit Court, and a special Primary for the County Treasurer office. Please view the sample ballot on our website at http://tinyurl.com/cztdtoa.

 August is Pet Amnesty Month!

Are you harboring a fugitive? Make your pet legal. Licensing your pet is easy!  Just bring your rabies information to Village Hall and we will be happy to provide a license for your pet.  During the month of August you will not be required to pay the late fee for your license.

Licensing is one important part of responsible pet ownership. 

A pet found wearing a current license tag is put on the FAST TRACK HOME! If your pet is licensed, your contact information and rabies information is already in our system and provides us with the information needed to return your pet.

Pets that are found wearing a current license tag are also eligible for an annual "Free Ride Home" by Milwaukee Area Domestic Control Commission (MADACC) Animal Control Officers! This saves your animal the stress of coming into the facility and you the expenses associated with reclaiming your animal. Current contact information is important! Come to Village Hall today, 3930 N Murray Ave.,  to obtain your pet license.

North Shore Health Department News

National Immunization Awareness Month

August is National Immunization Awareness Month, which is a great time to remind family, friends, and coworkers to stay up- to-date on their vaccinations to protect them from serious infectious diseases. Even if you were immunized for various diseases as a child, immunity often wears off over time and you may be at risk for new and different diseases as you age.

The types of vaccines you may need as an adult are influenced by factors such as your age, lifestyle, health status, and previous vaccines you've received. The following vaccines are recommended throughout your adult life to receive or maintain protection against:

• Seasonal flu (annually)*
• Tetanus and diphtheria (Td) or with pertussis (Tdap) due to recent whooping cough outbreaks - every 10 years or sooner if pregnant
• Shingles (for adults 60 years and over)
• Pneumonia for adults 65 years and older or those with specific health conditions)
• Hepatitis B infections (for adults with diabetes or those at risk for Hepatitis B)
• Hepatitis A infections - for those traveling outside the U.S.

Other vaccinations may be needed by young adults like those that protect against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause cervical cancers; Varicella to protect against chicken pox; Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR); and Meningococcal to protect against meningitis if you are living in close quarters like a college dorm.

Pregnant women should check with their healthcare provider to find out which immunizations are recommended for themselves and their family members. School-aged children who are not properly vaccinated put themselves at increased risk for getting sick and spreading the disease to other classmates, teachers, and babies who are too young to be immunized or older people like grandparents who may have weakened immune systems.

If you are unsure which vaccines you've received in the past, you can search for them at:  http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/immuniz-records.htm . Check with your healthcare provider to find out which immunizations are recommended or go to  http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines for more information.  

*If you are interested in providing flu shots for your employees, please contact Ashley Johnson (ajohnson@sensiawellness.com or 414-988-7208) for more information on Sensia's flu shot program. 

Immunization Clinics for Children

We have immunization clinics for children with no health insurance. Our next immunization clinics are Tuesday, August 12, 10-11 a.m. at the Brown Deer Office, and Thursday, August 14, 3-4:30 p.m. at the Shorewood Office.  Appointments are required and can be made by calling 414-371-2980.
