6/4/10: Indian River County Health Department is emphasizing the importance of rabies prevention, as there has been another unprovoked raccoon attack on a human and a dog involving a raccoon that tested positive for rabies in North County. Within the past month, there have been 5 unprovoked raccoon attacks on humans. Only two of the raccoons were captured and both tested positive for rabies. Additionally, a stray/feral cat associated with human exposures tested positive for rabies. The health department is advising residents to avoid wild or stray animals that can carry rabies. Wild animals (e.g. skunks, raccoons and bats) behaving abnormally - such as attempting to interact with or attack pets, stumbling, or acting disoriented - should be reported to the following:
In Indian River County: Weekdays 8am to 5pm, Indian River County Animal Control at 772-226-3485, ext. 1446, and on weekends or after hours, call 9-1-1.
Within City Limits: City of Vero Beach Policy Department at 772-978-4600.

MOTORSCOOTERS AND GO-PEDS
Motorscooters and go-peds are not considered motorcycles, however when driven on the streets or roadways a driver's license is required of the operator. In addition to a driver's license, a child under the age of 16 years must wear a helmet. The motorized vehicles may not be operated on sidewalks or bike paths.
In an effort to prevent the serious injuries and fatalities that we have seen on the news media from occurring in Sebastian, police officers have been instructed to verbally warn and inform youngsters in regard to scooter riding. We are doing this out of concern for the children who are unfamiliar with the dangers of the roadways.
Beginning March 1st officers will begin stricter enforcement by impounding illegally operated scooters and citing unlicensed operators.
