[RP Town Announce] Lyme disease / wild animals in town

[Alan Thompson (Riverdale Park Webmaster)]

Council Member Sargusingh (Ward 3) would like everyone to know that 
deer have been sighted in her ward, and one child has been diagnosed 
with Lyme disease, probably from the tiny ticks carried by the deer. 
For more information on Lyme disease consult the Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention web site at 
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/lyme/

Council Member Donaldson (Ward 2) has heard that wild animals 
(including squirrels, woodchucks, and rats) have been moving through 
town.  These animals have been displaced from the M Square 
development site on River Road.  The Public Works department has 
limited resources to help residents trap and take away these animals; 
you can contact Public Works at 301-864-1803.

To have an event or news bulletin included in future RP Town Announce mailings,
please send a short note describing it to listmaster at
ci.riverdale-park.md.us.
