We are honored to stand with our fire departments. Please stand with us and add rebuilding <br /> the county's relationships with the fire departments to your list of priorities. Please start with <br /> "thank you" and "how can we help?" <br /> Thank you." <br /> Susan Walser spoke on behalf of TICNC, which is the Tick-Borne Infections Council of <br /> North Carolina. The goal is to educate the public on ticks, tick-borne illnesses, and protecting <br /> yourself from ticks. After the State budget cuts, many State employees have lost their jobs, <br /> which included all NC DENR, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources involved <br /> in tick research and educational programs. She said that a lot of the information that was <br /> collected by this department was going to be thrown away, but TICNC was able to obtain the <br /> information. She spoke about the importance of checking for ticks, etc. She brought some <br /> samples of brochures from TICNC. <br /> Lamar Chapman made reference to the comments about the 911 communications and <br /> fire departments. He asked the people that spoke to this to please stay for the rest of the <br /> meeting because the rest of the agenda relates to it regarding deer hunting with dogs. <br /> b.
