1. Mosquitoes: The Hamilton Board of Health is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on Monday night to consider “additional action” that might be taken “to protect public health” which may include banning outdoor evening activities because of the threat of West Nile Virus and EEE from mosquitoes. The board meets at 6 p.m. in the Memorial Room at Hamilton Town Hall.
2. ARC Walk: If you plan to register for the upcoming 16th Annual Northeast Arc “Run, Walk or Roll” on Saturday, Oct. 13 you may want to do it on Monday.
