• Council seeks to mitigate ticks at Eldred Field (jamestownpress.com) — Jamestown officials are weighing whether to spend $40,000 on collapsible netting at Eldred Field to keep soccer balls and kids out of tick-filled brambles along East Shore Road. Council members are split over whether nets, landscaping, or organic spraying are the best way to protect children and improve the state-restricted parcel, and a committee will revisit options before the next meeting.
