    Meet the big cheese By ERICH LUENING
    Hegarty is awaiting the arrival of a 12-foot inflatable rat his office purchased for $5,000 through a private fund-raising effort. The air-filled rat will attend parades and other local events to increase public awareness of his rodent control program.

    'We get it in six weeks. Just in time for the Fourth of July parade,' said Hegarty gleefully. 'We actually had it in 2002. It brought a lot of enjoyment during that parade. We borrowed it from the Carpenters Union of Brockton.'
