Storm Garden at the Whitefish Bay Library:
|
|
|
|
In 2019, the Whitefish Bay Public Library received a grant for a StormGUARDen. A StormGUARDen is a planter style stormwater management system that collects rooftop rainwater. It combines a bioswale and cistern in one footprint. A StormGUARDen captures and reduces flows from events, removes bacteria and other rooftop pollutants, and allows for the growth of a variety of plants, fruits, and veggies.
The new StormGUARDen located on the North end of the Library is next step in the Library's path to incorporate environmentally friendly garden features on the library property, plus educate the public that “native” can be beautiful. This project builds on the work done in 2017 on the Library’s south native garden by Oscar Gregg for his Boy Scout Eagle Project plus milkweed planted on the east fence line to support monarch butterflies.

North Shore Health Department:

Did you know? The American Psychological Association (APA) provides information on how to manage stress and distress in the aftermath of mass shootings or other traumatic events (
https://www.apa.org/helpcenter/mass-shooting). As the North Shore Health Department focuses on mental health and emotional well-being as one of our health priority areas, we wanted to share tips for managing the variety of emotions that may have surfaced with the recent mass shootings in Texas and Ohio. Some of these strategies include:
- Trust your instincts: If you see suspicious activity, report it to law enforcement.
- Talk about it: Ask for support from people who care and will listen to your concerns.
- Strive for balance: When a tragedy occurs, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and adopt a negative or pessimistic outlook. Balance that viewpoint by reminding yourself of people and events which are meaningful and comforting, even encouraging. Check out: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/good-news for some good news. Striving for balance is empowering and allows for a healthier perspective on yourself and the world around you.
- Turn it off and take a break: Keeping informed is important, but if the news is upsetting, try to limit the amount you take in whether it’s from the Internet, television, newspapers or magazines.
- Take care of yourself: Engage in healthy behaviors to enhance your ability to cope with excessive stress. Eat well-balanced meals, drink water, get plenty of rest and build physical activity into every day.
- Help others or do something productive: Locate resources in your community to find ways that you can help people who have been affected by these incidents or have other needs. Helping someone else often has the benefit of making you feel better, too.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides 24/7 free and confidential support for people in distress, and prevention and crisis resources for you and loved ones. Help is just a phone call or internet search away.
Visit
online, call 1-800-273-8255 (Suicide Prevention Lifeline), or call 1-800-662-4357 (SAMHSA Referral and Information line). Make the contact for yourself or a loved one.
