Wolf Spotted in Yardley

When I first saw this creature, I was driving on Delaware Avenue. I saw it just out of the corner of my eye and almost drove off the road. I then saw it a few more times from the opposite direction and realized what I was seeing… pretty effective Goose repellent.

Bucks County Health Department Monitoring Three Confirmed Measles Cases

The Bucks County Health Department advises the public that it is closely monitoring three confirmed measles cases in the county – all of which are under control and limited to unvaccinated individuals who were in close contact with each other.

“There is no risk of transmission to others at this point from these cases, which involve three individuals who were unvaccinated,” noted Bucks County Health Director Dr. David Damsker. “The first case involves a school-age child. The other two are directly related to the first case and all three individuals have been isolated from their schoolmates and the general population.”

Dr. Damsker reiterated the importance of being vaccinated to provide the best protection against the measles and other communicable diseases. “There is no substitute for vaccination, which has been proven to be safe and effective,” he added.
