Crows infected with
West Nile Virus found
n Washtenaw County
By Tyler Boersen
For the Daily
Public health officials are testing mosqui-
toes in an area of Ann Arbor where a crow
afflicted with the mosquito-born West Nile
Virus was found.
The virus, which first made headlines when
discovered in New York City in 1999, was dis-
covered in Ann Arbor earlier this summer.
Though there have been no reports of
human cases here, officials at the Michigan
Department of Community Health and at the
Washtenaw County Health Department are
taking the threat seriously. MDCH officials
have been testing dead crows for the past
several months. Of the approximately ten
crows found in Washtenaw County, only one
tested positive for the West Nile Virus.
Linda Lantry, the Washtenaw County com-
municative disease coordinator said the test-
ing is not an unusual practice.
Officials have increased this year's number
of traps as a result of the possible threat,
Lantry said.
According to materials published by the
National Centers for Disease Control, less
than 1 percent of mosquitoes are affected.
Based on research in New York, officials
have found that even fewer are likely to
transmit the virus to humans.
"The risk (of contracting the West Nile
Virus) is very low," Lantry said.
"We know from New York that even though
there are many mosquitoes, very few people
k ,x a
get infected, and even fewer experience ill-
ness," he added.
- Symptoms of the West Nile Virus may
include a fever, headache, skin rash or swollen
lymph glands. In rare cases, usually in people
over the age of 50, the virus may cause
encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain. The
CDC has found that less than one percent of
those infected will develop a severe illness.
"I have never even heard of (the West Nile
Virus) before," said Lauren Freyermuth, an
LSA freshman.
Because many students like Freyermuth do
not know much about the virus, medical pro-
fessionals are working to let students know
what they can do to keep safe.
Lantry recommends that students limit the
time they spend outside at dusk.
"If you spend a long period of time out-
side, you should use a mosquito repellent
containing the chemical DEET," Lantry said.
She also recommends wearing long-sleeved
shirts and pants, and spraying repellent onto
clothing to prevent mosquitoes from biting
through thin fabric.
It is also recommended students control the
mosquito population by eliminating mosquito
breeding grounds. This includes draining
standing water from flower pots and from
low spots on lawns.
University Health Services will be on alert
for the West Nile Virus as well.
"At this time we are working on updating
our clinicians on the symptoms," said Dr.
Hernan Drobny, a UHS physician.
nor's office
state senator to make a successful run for gover-
nor was Engler, the Senate majority leader. But
Engler's three immediate predecessors were Blan-
chard, a U.S. representative when he first ran for
the office; William Milliken, who first ran as an
incumbent after George Romney's resignation;
and Romney himself, who gained recognition as
chair of the convention that revised the state Con-
stitution in the early 1960s.
Peters said he will win by campaigning hard
and that being state senator will not prevent him
from claiming the governor's office. The new
nature of campaigns, he added, may give him a
boost as an underdog.
"You can learn more about a candidate through
now the use of the Internet than you ever could in
the past with 30-second sound bites on television
or even newspaper reports."
Peters' other opponent for the Democrat nomi-
nation is state Sen. Alma Wheeler Smith of Salem
Twp., whose district includes Ann Arbor.

Sen. Peters discusses bid for Gover
By Louie Meizlish
Daily Staff Reporter
State Sen. Gary Peters says
although most Michigan resi-
dents don't know who he is
right now, he will continue
his fight to be the next gover-
nor of Michigan in 2003."
"We're still very early.
There's no question there are
some folks that are better
known than I am, because
you've got statewide office-
holders ... and a gentleman Peters
who is the second-ranking
Democrat in Congress," he said.
Peters (D-Bloomfield Twp.), currently trailing
far behind other, high-profile contenders for the
Democratic nomination - former Gov. James
Blanchard, state Attorney General Jennifer
Granholm and U.S. House Minority Whip David
Bonior of Mt. Clemens - met last night with the
University's chapter of the College Democrats at
the Michigan Union to promote his candidacy.
Peters maintained throughout the meeting that
his experience as a two-term legislator and a
financial advisor at Merrill Lynch and Paine Web-
ber make him more than qualified to head the
state beginning in 2003. He also emphasized his
role as the ranking Democrat on four Senate com-
mittees - more than any other senator.
Peters also said the key to Michigan's future
success is a strong education system, which,
while he admits Michigan has one of the best,
says is too expensive. He said Gov. John Engler's
emphasis on tax cuts and exemptions as a way of
attracting business to the state was misguided,
saying that businesses will usually move out of
the state as soon as their exemption expires.
Instead, he said, businesses look for a strong edu-
cation system and a highly educated workforce
when they look at potential homes.
He also criticized the Engler administration
for having poor priorities with regard to the
environment. He said the state should not issue
leases to firms that want to drill for oil in the
Great Lakes, citing safety hazards, and he sup-
ports legislation to prevent the issuing of the
leases. Lt. Gov. Dick Posthumus, who is seeking
the GOP nomination, has distanced himself
from Engler on the issue and does not support
oil drilling in the lakes.
Staying on the issue of the environment, Peters
said the civil servants at the Department of Envi-
ronmental Quality, who have studied conservation
in college, have been undercut by Engler's
appointees - appointees he says too often disre-
gard the environment in favor of promoting busi-
ness.
History, however, might not be on Peters' side
in his run for the state's highest office. The last

off Glazier Way near Green Road and
his body was nearby.

determine the exact cause of death.
Border traffic delays
slow local businesses
DETROIT (AP) - Area businesses
are trying to cope with increased
delays brought about by heightened
border security in wake of the recent
terrorist attacks.
Lou Borrelli is vice president of a
family-owned food importer in Wind-
sor, Ontario, but now he's driving
trucks to make sure his clients on the
other side of the border get their deliv-
eries.
"I'm having a hard time finding dri-
vers willing to wait in this backup," he
said while his Borrelli Importers vehi-
cle inched toward the Detroit-Windsor
Tunnel on Friday. "But as a business
owner, I have to do what I have to do to
keep the business operating."
Jim Fredette, operations manager for
the Detroit & Canada Tunnel Corp.,
carried coffee to Borrelli and other
motorists frustrated by lengthy delays
at the gateway to the United States.
More than 40 percent of the $1 bil-
lion in daily trade between the United
States and Canada comes through
the border between Michigan and
Ontario.
