From The Buffalo News: UB researchers join Lyme disease vaccine study as peak season nears for ticks

You can reduce your risk of tick bites:
• If in a likely tick habitat, walk in the center of trails to avoid overgrown grass, brush and leaf litter along trail edges.
• Use insect repellents approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, which can be found at EPA.gov.
• Check for ticks daily, and bathe or shower as soon as possible after coming indoors from possible tick-laden areas.
• Ticks can cling to clothing. Tumble dry clothes in a hot dryer for 10 minutes to assure to eliminate that risk.
• Keep pets out of the brush, too. They can be infected themselves and carry ticks into a home.

GOVERNOR HOCHUL DIRECTS FLAGS TO HALF-STAFF TO HONOR FALLEN RETIRED INVESTIGATOR PATRICK J. HOGAN

Flags to be Flown at Half Staff on April 19 and 20


Governor Kathy Hochul today announced flags on State buildings will be flown at half-staff on April 19 and 20 in honor of fallen Retired Investigator Patrick J. Hogan.

"We lost a true hero and public servant in Investigator Patrick J. Hogan, whose dedication to protecting and serving his community will always be remembered," Governor Hochul said. "Investigator Hogan's sacrifice and commitment to the people of New York will never be forgotten and we owe it to him and all those affected by September 11 to continue to fight for their health and well-being."

On April 13, 2023, Investigator Hogan passed away from an illness stemming from his assignment in and around the World Trade Center site following the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. He had retired from the New York State Police after 22 years of dedicated service on May 30, 2018. Investigator Hogan is from Wynantskill, NY, and is survived by his wife and three children.
