Dear Residents, In 2016 we will be celebrate the 60th Anniversary of our Village. So, it seems appropriate that we use fiscal year 2016 as a time when we can work together to create a "vision" for the next 60 years of our Vil- lage! An architectural firm will be selected this month to begin planning re- garding our new Country Club Clubhouse and recreational areas. Al- so, we are currently re-writing our land use codes to make them more user friendly for our residents, businesses and developers. Our fiscal year starts October 1, 2015, and we will be reaching out to everyone to help develop the "vision" for the future of North Palm Beach! Enjoy the rest of the summer. Sincerely, Jim Kelly Village Clerk Thank You! In gratitude for their dedication to the Village, the Council presented outgoing board members Alfred Cilcius, Curtis Witters and Ken Wright (L to R) with Certificates of Appreciation recognizing their years of service. School News Police Rescue Officer Mize of The North Palm Beach Police Department recently rescued a baby duckling from a drain after it fell from the Parker Bridge as it opened. Officer Mize crawled into the drain pipe, rescued the baby duckling by putting it in his uniform pocket to get it back to safety. The duckling is doing well! Way to go Officer!

Village Clerk—Pg. 5 www.village-npb.org Fire/Village Clerk Help Your Child Stay Safe While Riding a Bike Getting a “big” bike is a milestone for children. Unfortunately, according to Safe Kids USA, bicycles are associated with more childhood injuries than any other consumer product except the automobile. These injuries can be prevented. Requiring a child to wear a helmet can reduce risk of injury by as much as 85%.The typical bicycle crash occurs within one mile from home. A helmet needs to be worn every time the bicycle is used. Adults also need to wear helmets. A helmet should sit flat on the head in a level position. It should not move forward, backward or side-to-side. The helmet should be buckled snugly under the chin. Children should be taught the rules of the road. Insist that they look both ways before entering a street. A bicy- clist needs to obey all traffic laws, stopping at all stop signs and stop lights. Adult supervision is essential until the ch ild demonstrates good traffic skills and judgment while riding. Remember to ride with traffic when riding a bike and cross only at intersections. When shopping for a bike, bring the child along to ensure a proper bike fit. Buy a bike that is the right s ize for the child, not one he/she will grow into. When sitting on the seat, the child’s feet should touch the ground. There shoul d be 1-3 inches of space between the rider and the top bar. The breaks, tires and chain should be checked regularly. Wear bright clothing while riding a bike. Sneakers or close toed shoes should be worn when riding bike. Risks such as a child’s size and cognitive ability, and environmental risk, such as speeding motorists, are numerous. That is why prevention measures are so important. Reduce a child’s risk by modeling and teaching safe behaviors.
