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.

River grass available for the levee

January 25, 2010

If you are a resident who lives along the river between the Town Hall and Ripple Road and if you have observed erosion along your section of the levee, the town is making available a shade tolerant river grass seed mix. Planting can happen between September and May, but ideally planting should happen as soon as possible. If you are interested, contact a representative of the Town Council.
