‘We want to make all new
teachers feel welcome,” she
said.
Wilkins said there’s a total
of 51 new teachers between
the three districts. It ap-
peared the vast majority of
those were on hand for Thurs-
day’s luncheon, with hardly a
seat available.
“The crowd gets better ev-
ery year,” Wilkins said.
This was the 14th annual
event.

back positive.
Statewide, the virus has
reached epic proportions. So
far, 640 cases of infection and
23 fatalities have been re-
ported. At this same point last
year? Only nine cases of infec-
tion — and just one death.
We are seeing an upsurge
of West Nile Virus cases in
southeast Texas so people
should take precautions to
minimize the risk of mosquito
bites,” Andy Kirkland, the
county’s emergency manage-
ment coordinator.
“One of the main things
you can do is remove stand-
ing water from around your
house,” noted Cooper, the
city’s coordinator.
Other tips include wear-
ing long sleeves and pants
when outside, spraying down
with repellent, keeping gut-
ters clear of debris, and, if at
all possible, avoiding the out-
doors at dawn and dusk.
Further information on
prevention, as well as updates
on the virus’s spread, can be
found by visiting the city’s
website — www.cityofwhar-
ton.com — and clicking on the
“Public Safety” tab at the top
of the page, scrolling down to
“Emergency Management,”
and then clicking on ‘West
Nile Virus.”
Cooper added that anyone
experiencing flu-like symp-
toms should go and see a doc-
tor as soon as possible and get
tested. But he stressed that
even with the number of cases
on the rise, there is still no
need for panic.
“The good news is that very
few people (who get bitten by
an infected mosquito) are ac-
tually affected, and an even
smaller percentage have any
serious symptoms,” he said.

Fight the Bite!
When outdoors, use an insect repellent containing the ac-
tive ingredient DEET, Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or
IR3535 to reduce exposure to mosquito bites. Always apply
as directed on the label. Do not allow young children to ap-
ply repellent to themselves; have an adult do it for them.
If possible, wear long-sleeved clothing and long pants when
outdoors at dawn and dusk which are peak mosquito biting
times.
Place mosquito netting over infant carriers when you are
outdoors with infants.Don’t feed the stonn drains. Sweep
up lawn clippings, leaves and tree limbs from sidewalks and
driveways.
Remove/empty containers that can hold water such as
flowerpots, buckets, tires, toys and plastic swimming pools.
Birdbaths and pet water bowls should be changed at least
twice a week.
Cover your boat or store in a covered place. Drain any
standing water and make sure the bilge pump is working.
Turn over canoes, kayaks and small boats to store upside
down.
Keep rain gutters clean and draining and repair any outdoor
household leaks.
When watering the lawn, be aware of any excess water that
may accumulate. Fill in low areas around the yard.
When mosquitoes are noticed in your yard, spray with an
outdoor mosquito spray. Be sure to use according to direc-
tions on the label. To control mosquitoes in your house, use
a “flying insect spray”. Be sure to use according to direc-
tions on the label.
Household pets can be exposed to West Nile Virus (WNV).
Contact your veterinarian for more information.

Asar carne al aire libre, la jardinerla, nadar en pisci-
nas, ir de excursion y... los mosquitos. Disfrute del
aire libre, pero recuerde protegerse a usted mismo
y a su familia de enfermedades transmitidas por los
mosquitos como el Virus del Nilo Occidental. Su me-
jor defensa contra las picaduras es simplemente estar
prepara-do. j Ayude a combatir la picadura!
• Cuando se encuentre al aire libre, utilice un repelente que
contenga el in-grediente activo llamado DEET, Picaridin,
aceite de limon de eucalipto o IR3535 para reducir las prob-
abilidades de picaduras de mosquitos. Apliquelo siempre de
acuerdo a las indicaciones de la etiqueta. No penni-ta que
los ninos pequenos se apliquen el repelente ellos mismos,
haga que un adulto les aplique el repelente.
• Si es posible, use ropa de manga larga y pantalones largos
cuando se encuentre al aire libre al amanecer y al atardecer
ya que son las horas de actividad pico de los mosquitos.
• Cuando se encuentre al aire libre con un bebe, utilice una
tela de protec-cion de mosquitos sobre los porta bebes.
• No abastezca las alcantarillas con desechos. Barra y levante
el pasto recien cortado, las hojas y ramas de los arboles de
las banquetas y entradas de autos.
• Remueva y/o vatie los recipientes que puedan almacenar
agua tales como floreros, cubetas, llantas, juguetes y alber-
cas de plastico. El agua de los banos para pajaros y recipien-
tes de mascotas debe cambiarse por lo menos dos veces por
semana.
• Cubra su barco o bote o guardelo en un lugar cubierto. Vacie
los lugares que puedan almacenar agua y asegurese de que
la bomba de achique frmcione. Voltee las canoas, kayaks o
pequenos botes boca abajo.
• Mantenga limpios los canales de desagiie del techo de su
casa, y repare cualquier friga de agua del exterior.
• Cuando riegue el jardin, evite exceder el riego, ya que el
agua pudiera acumularse. Rellene las areas que esten a desn-
ivel del jardin o patio.
• Cuando note que hay mosquitos en su jardin, fumigue
dichas areas con un aerosol para mosquitos de uso extemo.
Asegurese de usarlo de acuerdo a las indicaciones en la eti-
queta. Para controlar los mosquitos dentro de su casa, utilice
un “aerosol para insectos voladores”. Uselo de acuerdo a las
indicaciones de la etiqueta.
• Las mascotas pueden estar expuestas al Virus del Nilo Oc-
cidental. Para mas infonnacion, consulte con su veterinario.
