Carole Marsh
Supervisor WELCOME TO THE TOWN OF POMPEY, a LARGE part of Onondaga County, 66.5 square miles. We are the highest inhabited spot in the county. We offer quiet solitude and spaciousness, natural beauty and a rich historical heritage, having celebrated our 200th Anniversary in 1994. Everyone wants trees in his back yard and a creek running nearby, and we have plenty of both! We have many recreation spots within the boundaries of Our Town, summer and winter. These include two golf courses; Delphi Golf Course and Pompey Hills Golf Course, also noted for its swim team. Pratts Falls Park and Camp Brockway are Onondaga County Parks which provide picnic facilities for large and small groups, cross country skiing and hiking, as does nearby Highland Park. Several other county and state parks are close by, including Jamesville Beach for swimming and Green Lakes State Park with its swimming and camping facilities. Cazenovia Lake offers boating and fishing. If it’s skiing you prefer, Toggenberg, Labrador and Song Mountain Ski Centers are all within twenty minutes of HOME. |

| | | | | Feral Cat tests positive for rabies | | |
| Pompey, NY--A feral cat living in the area of Ridge Road in Pompey, which had attacked several residents, has tested positive for rabies, Onondaga County Health Commissioner Dr. Cynthia B. Morrow said today.
Anyone who had physical contact with the cat should receive the rabies vaccine. This is the first finding of rabies in a cat since 2009. It's important not to touch or feed unknown or feral cats because they interact with wildlife and have the potential to be rabid, Morrow said in a news release announcing the rabid cat. People who have a feral cat on their property and want it removed should call a professional animal removal service.
Rabies is a fatal disease that attacks the brain and spinal cord. It can take several weeks to several months for symptoms to appear. Early treatment after exposure can prevent rabies.
Any mammal can get rabies. It is most often seen in bats, raccoons, skunks and foxes.
