Curfew News:
The Village Board along with the Police Department wants to let parents and children know that the Village curfew for kids has changed.  If you are 15 years old or under your curfew is 9 pm, seven days a week.  If you are 16 and 17 years old your curfew is 11pm seven days a week.  This does not affect kids coming or leaving from school functions. 

Bicycle News:
The Village Board along with the Police Department wants everyone riding a bicycle to know that riding on the sidewalk is not allowed.  If you are 12 years old or younger you can ride on the sidewalk.  Everyone must follow the rules of the road and have your bicycle registered with the Village.  (Stopping at stop signs, riding with traffic not down the middle of the road, no light on your bike are just some of the rules that are not being followed.)  We have been warning kids and adults of the rules. You could get a ticket!  Another option could be to have your bike impounded.  (You decide for yourself!)  Our goal is to have everyone follow the rules and not ticket riders unless you leave us no choice.   We have gotten a lot of complaints from walkers because of the bicycles being on the sidewalk.
