Dog keepers: Heartworm in Rocky Ripple

March 22, 2010

A resident on Lester Street has reported that one of her dogs died of heartworm this week and she has another dog who has tested positive and is undergoing treatment.  She does not know if he’ll make it.  Be aware that heartworm is in this neighborhood. Consider getting your dog(s) tested and follow your veterinarian’s instructions. It may expensive, but the alternative is to watch your pet die a slow and agonizing death, according to the resident.

Find out more about heartworm.

Repairs made to Town truck

January 7, 2010

Council President Robert Tomey reported that repairs to the truck were more expensive than he had originally anticipated. However the repairs have been made in time to plow Town streets during this latest snow fall. Thanks go to Ely for his work.

Officials have asked a Town contractor, Adam Garvey, to salt Canal Boulevard given its proximity to the Indianapolis Water Company Canal.

Icy road conditions: a message from the Town Council President

December 29, 2009
From Robert Tomey:
“We have major problems with the brakes on the truck. It had grinding in the right rear wheel then lost all brake pressure and fluid. I looked at the lines and also found major rust on brake lines as well.The lines will also need replaced. … The truck will have to be towed, and these repairs could cost over $2000 to properly make this truck safe to operate. … And remember this is a 10 year old truck that has been eaten by salt.”
Robert asks that residents slow down “till I get this truck repaired. … And direct all complaints on road conditions to the next town meeting.”
