. Page 10A Birds test for West Nile Virus Cleveland County has reported its first case of West Nile Virus. According to Denese R. Stallings, Cleveland County Health Director, two crows that were found on East Marion Street and North Dale Street in Shelby tested positive for West Nile at the NC Laboratory of Public Health. Stallings said people need to follow the state’s public health warning issued in June advising residents to be diligent in protecting themselves against mosquito bites. “People can get West Nile Virus from the bit of an infected mosquito,” she said. “Mosquitoes become infected with West Nile Virus from feeding on wild birds infected with the virus. Mosquitoes can then transmit the virus to humans or animals.” Stallings advises residents to avoid mosquito contact. She said insect repel- lents containing DEET (N, N-diethyl- m-toluamide and related compounds) are the most effective mosquito repel- lents on the market. When used prop- erty, along with other steps such as wearing light-colored long sleeved tops and long pants, avoiding mosqui- to-infected areas and staying indoors at dawn and dusk, repellents are a good way to minimize the risk of mosquito bites. As with any such products, pre-. "Walki The City of Kings Mountain, in col- laboration with the Cleveland County Health Department, is sponsoring Active Living by Design Day October 31. Mayor Rick Murphrey said various city staffers and health workers will be canvassing neighborhoods in the Kings Mountain area to determine the safest and most accessible walking routes for citizens.

Always read and follow label directions and precautions carefully. : For children of various ages and for adults, the Cleveland County Health Department offers the following addi- tional guidelines: BW Use a product with DEET. (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend products with 35% DEET for adults. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends products with 10% or lower DEET for children. * HB Do not use products with DEET on infants. HW Apply repellent on exposed skin and clothes. (Do not pace on children’s hands or near mouth, nose or eyes). HB Wash after coming indoors. If bitten by an infected mosquito, it may take 3 to 12 days to become ill. Most people who are infected with West Nile Virus suffer so symptoms at all. West Nile Virus may cause headache, fever, swollen glands, mus- cle aches and often a rash. In severe cases, it may cause an infection of the brain called “encephalitis.” People 50 years or age and older and positive those with health problems are most at risk for serious illness due to West Nile Virus. Anyone who may be ill with West Nile Virus should see a doctor as soon as possible. Some ways to stop mosquito breed- ing: HB Empty, destroy, recycle or cover containers like tires, tin cans, buckets and bottles where mosquitoes can lay their eggs. BM Change water in pet bowls and bird baths at least once a week. HB Remove or empty dishes under potted plants. MW Stock ponds and ditches with fish. HW Cover unused pools. HM Clean clogged rain gutters. BW Put special “donuts” made with mosquito-killing bacteria in water where mosquito eggs may hatch. North Carolina's State Laboratory of Public Health's policy is that once there has been a confirmed case of West Nile Virus, the State Lab will not test any more birds from Cleveland County. Should a citizen find a dead crow, blue jay or bird of prey, call the Cleveland County Animal Control Department at 481-9884. Audit’ set in KM ical activity in our daily routines by giving our people safe areas to walk," said Murphrey. The mayor says the program ideally ties in with Kings Mountain's Gateway to the Parks project, connect- ing neighborhoods with walking and biking trails. : A national program funded and sponsored by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, in cooperation with the UNC School of Public Health, the pro- gram on October 31 is called a "walk- ing audit" in neighborhoods. "We want to identify the safest routes and distances from one point to the other or points to town," said the mayor. Citizens interested in joining the walking tour are asked to contact Steve Killian at Kings Mountain city hall, 704-734-0333.
