In Response to Frank Castiglia

September 23, 2018 Contributor
Castiglia noted: “A recent inquiry into petitions tuned in for a place on the ballot of a [Granby] town board seat.

I would like to remind residents to diligently practice tick checks for preventing Lyme disease from ticks. Lyme disease is a bacterial disease transmitted through the saliva of an infected deer tick.
