The Department is planning clinics for rabies shots in the coming months. She also reminded everyone present that tick season is beginning. She asserted that there is Lyme’s Disease in this part of the state. Check yourself and your animals for those hard-to-see deer ticks regularly. She announced the department would hold an old or expired prescription drug drop-off event at the Watkins Glen Highway Department on June 12. County officials will be there to take the medicines and dispose of them properly. “No questions asked,” she said. • State mandated “Violence in the Workplace” workshops will be held for all Town employees.
