Suamico Views 3rd Quarter 2015 HYDRANT HELPERS NEEDED! During the winter months it is imperative that we keep the hydrants clear of snow to allow for faster response to fires. The precious minutes it takes to clear out a path to the fire hydrant may mean the difference of losing your home. The Suamico Fire Department is looking for children who would like to help out by adopting a hydrant to maintain during the winter months. All hydrant helpers will be invited to a free ice cream social this spring at Culvers. Pick up a form at the Suamico Village Hall to register for the Hydrant Helper Program Each child is responsible for one hydrant. With a parents supervision, please clear a four foot circle around the hydrant as well as a path from the street to the hydrant. Remember never step into traffic while clearing your hydrant. Always have an adult with you. Choose a fire hydrant on a residential street or in your neighborhood. Remember to ask permission if the hydrant is in your neighbor’s yard. For questions call, Scott or Joe at (920) 434-3201 A MESSAGE FROM THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT On the second Wednesday of every month, I invite you to join me for coffee and conversation at LaJava on Lineville between 7 and 8:30 a.m. We can talk about whatever you like. Just show up with the need to gab. Hope to see you there! If you wish to contact me about any issues you have in the Village, please do so at [email protected] or (920)662-0937. FIRE DEPARTMENT OPEN HOUSE The Suamico Fire Department Open House will be taking place on Saturday, October 10, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Fire Station #2 located at 2323 Northwood Road. Explore the fire trucks, a County Rescue ambulance and a Suamico Police car. Meet the Firefighters of Suamico. Practice putting out live fires with a fire extinguisher. Live Demos throughout the day Many Kids’ Activities The Suamico Firefighters Association will also have brats, burgers, hot dogs, soda, and water available for purchase. It’s Fire Prevention Week 2015—Hear the Beep, where you Sleep! Keep your family safe with a working smoke alarm in every bedroom. Half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep. Smoke alarms save lives, in fact, a working alarm can reduce the chance of dying in a reported fire by half. KEEPING YOUR CHIMNEYS AND FLUES OPERATING PROPERLY The main purpose of a chimney is to vent the products of combustion from your home. That function is crucial because the products of combustion contain hazardous and noxious gasses. One of the hazardous gasses your chimney needs to remove from your home is carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that can cause serious illness or death when it is present in sufficient amounts. It is responsible for hundreds of deaths and countless illnesses every year in homes across America. In many cases carbon monoxide in the home originates in a furnace or other burning appliance and finds its way into the house due to inadequate venting. What causes inadequate venting? There are several possibilities. One is that the flue has become blocked. The blockage can come from debris falling into the chimney due to a deteriorating masonry chimney, nest(s) built there by animals or birds or the accumulation of snow. Carbon monoxide can also seep into the house through cracks or holes in flues and chimneys that moisture, chemical residue, or chimney fires have damaged. The other important function of chimneys, especially those serving solid fuel burning appliances like wood stoves or fireplaces, is to keep excessive heat from combustible materials that surround the chimney. Heat or flames from a chimney fire can escape through cracks in the clay flue liner or through damaged or missing mortar joints of a chimney. They can then ignite surrounding combustible framing members of a house. Chimney fires occur within the structure of the (cont. on page 5) Telephone Numbers Inside this Issue: All Emergencies 911 Administrative Office, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. 434-2212 Department of Public Works, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. 434-8410 Police Department (Brown County Sheriff) 391-7450 Fire Department 434-3201 Animal Control 819-6709 After-Hours Public Works & Utility 665-4504 Hydrant Helpers Needed Photography Howard-Suamico Historical Society Thanks You Little Free Library® Pool Winterizing Recreation Programs Hot Topics/Upcoming Events 1 3 3 4 5 6-7 8 Page 2 Suamico Views OIL PAINTING The Fall Class started Sept. 17th , and runs to Nov. 19th (10 wks.)

DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN THE VILLAGE OF SUAMICO Village of Suamico ordinance 11.39(2) states that “no person shall discharge any firearm in any area so designated by the Board on the Village map.” This map can be viewed at the Suamico Municipal Services Center or in the police section of the Village of Suamico website. Ordinance 11.39(1) (a) defines a firearm as “a rifle of any caliber, shotgun of any gauge, pistol, or revolver of any caliber. A weapon which expels a missile by the explosive force of gunpowder or by release of compressed air or gases.” This ordinance also states that “there shall be no discharge of firearms on any lands within the corporate limits of the Village without permission of the owner of the land.” Negligent or reckless use of a firearm in any area of Suamico is a violation of Wisconsin State Statutes. Please be safe this hunting season! Page 3 Suamico Views HOWARD-SUAMICO HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Howard-Suamico Historical Society would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated books to the Used Book Sale held on August 6, 2015 and to those who purchased books. This was the largest sale to date! Please continue to keep us in mind—we are planning on having another sale in 2016 and have already begun to collect books at the Velp Avenue site. Again, thank you so very much for donating or purchasing books at the sale! Happy Reading! RESIDENTS IN A FLOODPLAIN The Village Zoning Department provides floodplain mapping information to all residents of the Village that are in a floodplain. For information, contact the Zoning Department at (920) 434-2212. We also have Elevation Certificates available to the public for viewing for new development in floodplains since 2004. Substantial Improvement/Damage The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requires that if the cost of improvements to a building or the cost to repair damages (from any cause) to a building exceeds 50% of the market value of the building (excluding land value), the entire building must be brought up to current floodplain management standards. Building improvement projects include exterior and interior remodeling, rehabilitation, additions and repair, and reconstruction projects. Additionally, the cost of currently planned improvements will be added to the cost of previously made improvements and compared to the existing market value to determine if the improvements exceed 50% of the structure’s value. Please contact the Village Zoning Administrator at (920) 434-2212 for further information. Property Protection Measures If your property is susceptible to flooding, there are many flood damage reduction measures you can employ. WEIGHT WATCHERS Tuesday nights check-in at 5:00 p.m. with the meeting at 5:30 p.m. All meetings are held at the Suamico Municipal Center located at 12781 Velp Avenue. Watertight seals can be applied to brick and block walls to protect against low-level flooding. Utilities such as heating and air conditioning systems, water heaters, and other major appliances can be elevated to higher floors in structures or on raised platforms. Temporary measures such as moving furniture and other valuables to higher floor or sandbagging exterior openings will also help. Elevating or relocating the entire structure may also be a feasible option. For more information, visit FEMA’s website at www.floodsmart.gov. PHOTOGRAPHY All classes held at Paul D. Manke Photography Studio, 110 S. Broadway, Green Bay, WI 54303 Cost: $25 for each class.

Page 4 WINTER IS COMING Most of us take some time to get our vehicles ready for winter. Oil changes, tire rotations, new wipers, and filter replacements are common. But there are other items around the house to check also. Now is the time to check your mailbox post! If it is old and rotted or the screws are loose on the box, repairing it now could save the distress of a broken post during mid-winter. A strong post is needed to withstand the heavy wet snow sometimes thrown by the plows. Mark your driveways limits and utilities so you do not damage them while plowing or shoveling. Check your culverts and drainage ways for obstructions such as leaves, grass, brush, and other items which could block water flow. THE GIVING TREE If you would like to donate to a pantry that benefits the less fortunate in the HowardSuamico School District, please bring nonperishable food items, personal care items, school supplies, and new apparel to the lobby of the Municipal Services Center, 12781 Velp Avenue, during business hours of 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. We also have a money collection jar at the Village Hall for donations. Thank you for your continued participation! Suamico Views DRUG TAKE BACK INITIATIVE On October 17, 2015, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., the Brown County Sheriff’s Department will participate in the National Pharmaceutical Take Back Initiative sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. During these scheduled hours, residents can drop off unwanted or unused prescription medication at the Suamico Municipal Services Center, 12781Velp Avenue. Liquids will also be accepted, but the liquid must be in its original packaging, and the container must be intact and not leaking. Sharps, syringes, and injectables will not be accepted. This program is anonymous. No questions or requests for identification will be made. 2015 WELL PERMIT RENEWAL REMINDER For those who have been noticed that your well permit expires this year, please have your permit renewed by November 2, 2015, so that the water testing and inspection of your well (if required) by a licensed well and pump installer is completed before you winterize your well for the winter. The Village of Suamico is required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) (NR 810.16, Wis. Adm. Code) to monitor the abandonment of all unused, unsafe, or non-complying wells located on the premises of properties served by our public water system. The Village’s permitting process will allow retention of safe and code compliant wells, eliminate sources of unsafe water, prevent such wells from becoming channels for vertical movement of contaminated water, and eliminate all existing cross connections and prevent all future cross connections. If you have any questions on the renewal process, please contact the office at (920)434-8410. TAE KWON DO Tae Kwon Do is the martial art of choice for all ages. This course will offer you a unique form of aerobic exercise while teaching you self-defense and self-control. The current 7-week session has just started with prorating available for new participants. Classes are held at the Idlewild Park Shelter from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on Mondays. The cost is $40. All youth 5-7 years of age must have an adult register with them. Uniforms not included, nor required. LITTLE FREE LIBRARY® The Village of Suamico would like to extend a very huge thank you to Cub Scout Troop 4063 for building two new Little Free Libraries®. The two new libraries are by the walking path by Idlewild Park. The scouts have paid for all the materials and have started collecting books. The libraries will be watched over by the troop to ensure that they are stocked with books and any other needs that may arise to keep the library in good condition. The scouts would appreciate any donations, whether it is monetary or books, to keep the libraries up and running. The libraries will only succeed with the help of our community. Come and check them out and remember to “Take a Book, Leave a Book”! Here is some information that you might not have known about the Little Free Library® movement: The first library was placed by Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin in honor of his mother. It was so well received that he built more and gave them away. He then partnered with Rick Brooks, from UW Madison to make it what it is today! There are 32,000 registered libraries. There are libraries in every state in the US, every province in Canada and in 70 other countries. Little libraries are community builders. Page 5 Suamico Views RENT A SHELTER Did you know that you can rent either the Calavera Springs or Idlewild Park shelters? Our Calavera Springs Park Shelter, with a capacity of 132, is available for rent April through October while the Idlewild Park Shelter, with a capacity of 187, is available year-round. We begin taking reservations November 1 for the following year, summer dates book fast so make sure to book your date right away! Information on pricing and other details can be found online at www.suamico.org. Any person or group wishing to reserve a park shelter must submit a completed facility reservation form with appropriate fee and deposit in person to the Municipal Services Center specifying the facilities to be used and the date(s). SEASONAL GARBAGE Seasonal garbage collection applications are due no later than October 15, 2015 to be considered for 2016. Seasonal collection is intended for residents who do not reside at their Suamico residence year-round and would like the opportunity for a cost break. Applications can be found on our website under Licenses, Permits, & Forms, Clerk’s Department or directly from the Village Hall. The maximum allowable waiver is six months. RAKING LEAVES A shout of “Geronimo!” and the sound of running feet cause you to turn just in time to see your hard-earned leaf pile scatter. You remember doing the same thing years ago and a smile comes to your face, even if it means more raking. However, leaves, like grass clippings, contain phosphorus, the nutrient that turns lakes green with algae. How can you help to keep our lakes and rivers clean: Consider mulching them in place by making several passes with a power mower. The shredded leaves will provide nutrients back to your lawn; Compost your leaves into mulch to place around your vegetables and flowers; Spread leaves in garden beds or under shrubs; Learn about your community yard waste disposal practices; Clean leaves and debris from the gutters and storm sewer outlets. The Northeast Wisconsin Stormwater Consortium is a partnership of area communities working together to educate you on how we can make great strides in protecting and enjoying our environment. - NEWSC ELECTRONICS RECYCLING DROP-OFF Televisions, computer monitors, and appliances will be accepted for a fee. These items contain hazardous materials which have costs associated with them for disposal. Therefore, a cost of $10 per item will be charged. Televisions over 30 inches or in consoles are $30. All other electronic items may be dropped off free of charge. Refrigerators/freezers must have the door removed. This area is monitored by video surveillance in order to help prevent illegal dumping of materials. Thank you for your cooperation. KEEPING YOUR CHIMNEYS AND FLUES OPERATING PROPERLY (CONT. FROM PAGE 1) POOL WINTERIZING For those of you who own a pool, fall brings the time for winterizing after a summer of fun and relaxation by the pool. While performing the winterizing of the pool, please make sure to discharge water into a road ditch or other drainage conveyance swale. The village has taken complaints from neighbors who do not want the excess water on their property. Please be respectful of your neighbors. chimney itself. This happens when hot flue gasses or cinders ignite creosote accumulated on the walls of an unclean chimney flue. Creosote is a natural byproduct of burning wood. It is highly flammable and will accumulate on the inner walls of the flue under certain burning conditions. So a well-structured chimney and flue are designed to offer protection to your family and home from both the dangers of hazardous and noxious gasses such as Carbon Monoxide, and from the high levels of heat present in the flue gasses of solid fuel burning appliances and fireplaces. But, like all structures, they must receive regular inspections and maintenance in order to maintain their integrity and to continue doing their job.
