This survey is part of yet another attempt to get Broadband (high speed, that is) Internet service to Danby. To ALL of Danby, not just to the parts that are immediately profitable to a service provider.

The Town needs your help. An important part of this proposal is to demonstrate that people...users...Danby residents...want and will actually use the service! To demonstrate your interest --NOT a commitment, and NOT a promise to buy anything-- we hope you'll fill out the Survey.

Attention all dog owners in the Town of Danby

Every dog over the age of four months, owned or harbored in New York State for longer than 30 days, must be registered and licensed in the town where they are harbored. A renewal license must be purchased every year.

The Town of Danby is now completing a door-to-door dog enumeration. If you have a licensed dog, you will need to show its license (or signed renewal form) and a current rabies certificate. Please have them available. If any unlicensed dogs are found, you will be required to obtain a license for each one and a $5 fee will be added to the regular licensing fee.

The current dog licensing fees are:

A valid Rabies Certificate is required to register your dog. A certificate of proof of spaying or neutering is required to qualify for the reduced fee for Spayed/Neutered dogs.

You may obtain a license for your dog(s) at the Town Clerk's office.

News Flash-
Danby, NY. Our correspondent, Bea Hogben, reports from Downtown Danby: On June 15, after attending an informative training session describing treatments for allergies, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke, conducted by Peter Goodman at the Danby Fire Station, I left the station for home around 8:30pm.

Much to my amazement, I saw a black bear go "lumbering" across NYS Rt.96B from the Hornbrook Road area, and then across the lawn of the Danby Fire Station.

Another stunned witness to the incident, standing on all four spindly legs, was interviewed. "There I was, minding my business and staying out of traffic on the Fire Station lawn. I looked up, and couldn't believe my eyes," reported the unnamed, wide-eyed deer. "I was looking at a bear. A bear!"

I had heard there were bear in the area. Now I believe it.

Every household in the Town of Danby should receive the current issue of the Danby Area News just before the beginning of the month.

If you don't receive the Danby Area News regularly, or if one of your neighbors doesn't get copies, please contact us!

We use the US Postal Service to deliver the Danby Area News. Most copies are delivered by the Carrier Route service, addressed to "Postal Patron." The rest receive individually-addressed copies with an address sticker in the name of "Danby Resident." Unfortunately, the Carrier Routes change over time, new residences are built, house numbering changes, and gaps appear in the delivery list.

Extra copies are available in the Danby Town Hall.
