Adult mosquitos will start 1 how-i- n gup in May. While its less difficult for mosquito abatement crews to find the larvae and begin controlling it in early spring, once irrigation season bepni its harder to deal with, he said. Mosquitos will spend the winter under the ice and lay their eggs in the mud. The eggs remain dormant until water floods in the spring. They are pretty hardy. The adults will winter in the cracks and crevices of your house, he said. The West Nile virus is carried by mosquitos and strikes cattle, horses and humans. In 2002 the West Nile virus was responsible for about 180 deatha, with more than 3,000 human cases reported. Most people who are infected with the virus do not become ill, however the elderly and those with compromised immune systems are at higher risk. le Things you probably didnt know but do now because you read this!

The couple had divorced about a year ago, but were living together and were waiting for their cabin to be built in the Utah Mini Ranches subdivision east of Duchesne. The friends the couple was staying with said they returned home to find a note saying the couple were on their way to Washington state.

Bullies still a problem in U.S. schools Metal detector and surveillance cameras have sharply reduced weapons and crime at the nation's schools, but a government report says students are more afraid on school grounds than off because of a problem that hasnt changed: the school bully. Away from school, kids can stay aw ay from their enemy. On campus they cant really escape, said Curt Lavarello, who works with school police officers. Over the years, the percentage of assaults, theft and other crimes at schools has steadily gone down. Six percent ofstudents ages 12 to 1 8 said they were victims of crimes last year, compared with 10 percent in 1995. The largest drop came for students in seventh, eighth and ninth grades. In a 1993 survey, 12 percent of high school students said they carried a weapon at school in the past 30 days. That dropped to 6 percent in 2001, according to a joint report by the Education and Justice departments. But while security measures have helped stop guns and knives from NIELSENS on forest getting into schools, they can't do much about the bully. Nine percent of the students said they had been threatened or injured Santa's with a weapon last yeur, up slightly from two years ago. There was also a 3 percent increase in students who reported being bullied. Bullying was accepted as part of the tradition of the school. That has to change, said William Modzeleski, who heads t he federal Safe and Drug-Fre- e Schools Program. We're startto ing recognize that this is a serious issue and beginning to address it." Modzeleski said school administrators need to treat bullying the same way they treat other aggressive behavior. Bullyingcan lead to more assaultive behavior, he said. A survey Inst yeur by the U.S. Centers for Discuse Control and Prevention showed that 10.H00 children stayed home from school at least once a month because they feared bullies, and half the children surveyed said they were bullied once a week. cross-countr- $ Hardwood Dinette Set 7 piece, 96 Table with Butterfly Leafs Mill ne, tit .

On Dec. 9 Harry was picked up by Sparks, Nevada, law enforcement aud thorities on charges in a casino after being found in a very agitated state and acting paranoid.
