WEST NILE VIRUS DETECTED IN LOUDOUN RESIDENT
Health Director Dr. David Goodfriend told me the first probable human case of West Nile virus has been found.The woman is from eastern Loudoun County and was seen by her private physician last week for severe headache, fever, rash, and congestion. A blood test sent to a private laboratory came back positive for West Nile virus. She was never hospitalized and is recovering at home.
People can reduce their risk of illness by eliminating mosquito breeding areas around their homes and protecting themselves by using insect repellant while outside.
Dr. Goodfriend tells me the Loudoun County Health Department is continuing to combat the infection by applying larvicide and testing mosquitoes throughout the county, responding to complaints of standing water, and talking with residents about steps they can take to protect themselves and to control mosquito populations in the area. For a lot more information on West Nile virus, log onto the Loudoun County Website at www.loudoun.gov and look under "Hot Topics".
Senator George Allen is for Bob Gordon
Just like I said some weeks back, here's Senator Allen backing Bob Gordon in a letter to the editor. He is NOT supporting any other candidate in this race.
Allen: I'm with Gordon
By Sen. George Allen (R-VA), Washington, D.C.
07/29/2003
( QUOTE) It has come to my attention that recent newspaper articles concerning the race for chairman of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors may have created some confusion as to which candidate I have endorsed.
I would like to take this opportunity to make my position clear.
For many years I have had a practice of staying out of Republican nominating contests. However, where there is a Republican nominee for the general election, I have endorsed and worked for that nominee.
There should, therefore, be no confusion as to whom I have endorsed for chairman of the Board of Supervisors in Loudoun County this year. Bob Gordon is a leader with experience in business, government and the law. He has articulated a vision and plan to meet the many challenges facing Loudoun County.
So, let there be no confusion. Bob Gordon is the Republican nominee for chairman. As such, he has my endorsement and support in this campaign. (END OF ALLEN QUOTE)
Worth Repeating: Writer Says Smart Growth Is Plague
In a short but pithy Letter to the editor in the Post Loudoun Extra by Mary Jane Windle it is noted that the quaint portrayal of all the many challenges making it harder and harder to farm or sell milk in Loudoun, there is one malady left out.Windle says " The so-called smart-growth group is a plague, just as are too much rain, not enough rain and low milk prices."
P.S.
