Turnock, director of the Illinois Depart­ ment of Public Health, urged householders to eliminate Culex mosquito breeding sites from their yards in an effort to avert cases of St. Louis encephalitis later in the summer. He issued the advict because weather conditions so far this year have been very favorable to the Culex mosquitoes. Although birds are the reservoirs, or carriers of the virus, St. Louis encephalitis is a mosquito-borne disease. Culex mosquitoes, which transmit the disease from birds to people normally feed only on birds during the first half of the summer. "It's during this period that the mosquitoes not only pick up the virus from the birds, but transmit the disease to other birds, who in turn, infect other mosquitoes", Turnock explained. In mid-to-late summer, the mosquitoes change their feeding habits from birds to humans and may transmit the disease to people. The bite of Culex mosquitoes can easily go un­ noticed because they are small and gentle biters. Turnock urged residents of all parts of Illinois to begin taking steps that will help protect them from the Culex mosquito. "The best way to prevent cases of St. Louis encephalitis," he said, "is for each one of us to eliminate Culex breeding sites from our own yards." Culex mosquitoes lay their eggs on top of small puddles of standing water, such as those that might be found in tin cans, rubber tires, ornamental vases or other items which hold water. "In addition, the Culex do not fly very far from where they are hatched", Turnock said, "so if you are bitten by one in your own yard, there's a good chance she was hatched nearby". He advised Illinois residents to remove from their yards any containers which might collect even very small amounts of water. In addition drainage ditches should be cleaned, and low spots in the ground which will hold water should either be drained or filled in. Small streams may become breeding sites during dry weather if the stream ceases to flow nd become stagnant. Advise on rendering such sites unsuitable for mosquito breeding is available from the state health department or from local health departments. Water that collects in ornamental items should be emptied out once a. week. In mid-May, state-health- department personnel began taking blood sample from birds in order to determine whether the St. Louis encephalitis virus is present in the bird population. Turnock explained that monitoring the birds is the important first step in deter­ mining whether there is a potential for human cases of the disease in later summer. "Even though the test results show no evidence of the virus in the birds as yet, it is too early in the year to say that the potential for cases of the disease does nojt exist," he said. FREE GO ONE STEP BEYOND TV. Because there has been a renewed interest in the business portion of the Chamber of Commerce, the board of directors is encourageing the general membership to attend its meetings. Within the last few months, the board has instituted a new format for the meetings. There is a half an hour of gathering and social time scheduled in prior to the com­ mencement of a formal meeting. This provides an excellent opportunity for members to come and meet the directors and casually talk over ideas, get questions answered, and get some orientation into the process of the business meeting. The board of directors welcomes all members to arrive at 7 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month at City Council Chambers, 1111N. Green St., for coffee, conversation and in­ formation. The business meeting begins promptly at 7:30; The agenda is set advance. Extra agendas will be available for the visiting members and every effort will be made to keep the guests well informed. The meeting is slated to last maximum of two hours, although all the business is concluded before the ad­ journment of each session. New members of the Chamber are especially invited to attend the board meeting and become better acquainted with the directors and other members of the business community. Keith Leathers, president of the Chamber commented, "It is very exciting to have all of the recent interest in the activities of the board of directors. We hope the members will respond to this new provision. We are placing a special slot on the agenda for input from the general membership. It will be at the very beginning of the meeting so that considerations can come before the board while the member is still in at­ tendance at that meeting. The entires board shares my en­ thusiasm for this new op­ portunity for input and are anticipating great deal of participation from any of our 370 members. The next chamber board meeting will occur on July Former resident is now a nurse Dale Austin, formerly Dale Page of McHenry, graduated recently from Georgia State, where she received a nursing degree. She became interested in nursing after she had been healed from two serious bouts with cancer. Austin now lives in Georgia with her husband and four sons. She is currently employed at a local hospital in Georgia. 9th, 7:30 p.m. We hope to see many members with the Board of Directors." One of the goals of the board of directors of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce for 1985 is to provide more opportunities for active participation on the part of the general membership. In 1984, they instituted a bi­ monthly regularly scheduled luncheon and have continued that for 1985. The response has been excellent. On the second Wednesday of every month, a luncheon and program of very general interest is presented at one of the restaurants within the Chamber membership. The next regularly scheduled luncheon will be on July 10 at the Rip Tide's in Johnsburg (formally Crescent Bay Landing). The program for this event will be presented by Bill Dodds, principal of East Campus High fn a very timely In-ce Day topic: The of Paul Revere, bi-monthly luncheons led to provide a social for meeting other members of the business community, as well as an in­ formative and interesting presentation on a wide variety of topics. Dave Gelwicks, 1985 Gtolf Outing Chairman, reminds members that, "Our annual gdlf Play Day is coming up on Aug. 14. You can call the Pro Shop; at the McHenry Country Club to make tee times now. This is one of the most enjoyable days of the year. We especially encourage new members to share ttjjis event." For further information call 385-4300.
