I wrote this letter in March and it finally went into the Leader 4/20. Several patients and
friends have urged me to make sure that the Health Dept., County Commissioners, CityManager, plus Fish and Wildlife also receive copies and are aware of the current giardia issue.
The situation is not improving with regards to health of the deer herds.
