Dear Town of Gilbert Citizens, Business Owners, School Administrators and Faith Based Organizations,

Maricopa County Environmental Services Department maintains a year round mosquito surveillance program for West Nile Virus (WNV). Their surveillance activities indicate that WNV activity in Gilbert has been unusually active. The numbers appear to reflect more activity than previous years and could be a result of winter rains and other factors. Maricopa County Public Health has 17 confirmed cases and 2 deaths from WNV in Maricopa County, most from the East Valley.

I want to stress the importance of protecting our residents. Prevention is paramount. Please distribute this information to your family, friends and neighbors.

• Avoid outside activities between dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.
• Wear lightweight clothing that covers your arms and legs and use insect repellent if you must be outdoors when mosquitoes are active. Always follow directions on the label.
• Make sure doors and windows have tight fitting screens and remain closed.
• Eliminate mosquito-breeding sites around your home or business by removing standing water in potted plants, tires, bird baths and other containers where water may collect.
• Ensure that swimming pools and decorative water features are properly maintained.
• Change water in flowerpots, bird baths and pet watering bowls located outdoors twice per week.

West Nile Virus can cause severe illness in people. Twenty percent of those infected will develop flu-like symptoms including; fever, headache, body aches, and muscle weakness. Some people, especially the elderly may experience more severe symptoms including high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, and/or encephalitis or inflammation of the brain.

If you become aware of a green pool or other mosquito breeding site please report the site to     480-503-6439 or to Maricopa County at 602-506-6616. If Maricopa County has treated the pool you will find a public notice on the front door or window.

Sincerely,

CANDIDATES ENDORSED FOR LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 22

Gilbert, Arizona (July 22, 2010)…The Gilbert Small Business Alliance announces their “Endorsement” for the Arizona Legislative District 22 Elections.

The GSBA endorses two candidates for the two positions of Legislative District 22 House of Representatives:

Brett Petillo

Eddie Farnsworth

At last night’s forum candidates spoke to a room packed with small business owners and their friends.  The event was part of the GSBA’s “2010 Statesmen’s Tour.”  The endorsement process included written responses to a questionnaire, video taped interviews with the State Election Committee, and the Candidate Forum culminating in a straw poll vote.  The videos and other information on all of the candidates are available at http://www.gilbertsba.com/news/statemens-tour/.

Among an excellent slate of candidates the GSBA State Election Committee members believe Mr. Petillo and Mr. Farnsworth stand out as candidates that best exhibit the background, principles and tenacity needed to protect small business interests and foster a favorable business environment in Arizona. The comments by members were many.  “As a business owner suffering in this economy, I really relate to Brett Petillo,” one member noted.  Another member stated, “Farnsworth deals with business issues on a daily basis and has the experience to restrain over reaching government.”  The GSBA encourages everyone to meet your candidates, do your homework, and vote informed.

The Gilbert Small Business Alliance is founded by Gilbert small business owners. We are united by our passion to empower, to advocate, and to build the success of small businesses in the East Valley.
