This morning's Ithaca Journal doesn't have any specific Dryden news, but does raise a number of issues worth keeping an eye on:
Rabid beavers attacked a girl in Danby. It sounds like racoons infected the beavers. I've never heard of beavers attacking anyone, but I guess rabies makes the unusual possible. One of the rabies cases they mention this year was on Ringwood Road in Dryden.
Natural gas prices are expected to rise 30% this winter, and heating oil 20% to 30%. I'm glad I put in that more efficient furnace, but it looks like I'd better get to work on the storm windows. (This article isn't online.)
There's an opinion piece on Contained Animal Feeding Operations, industrial-scale operations which raise animal and generate huge amounts of waste. In the light of last week's 2 million gallon manure spill into the Black River near Watertown, this is worth keeping an eye on.
