tion against West Nile virus, apotentially fatal disease in horses.

Owners should plan to protecthorses as soon as possible eventhough veterinarians confirmedno equine cases of West Nilevirus in Washington last year,State Veterinarian Dr. LeonardEldridge said.

State health officials detectedthe virus in two dead birds andmore than 100 mosquito sampleslast summer. In addition, twohuman cases of West Nile virusdeveloped.

Washington led the nation inconfirmed equine cases in 2009— 72 cases — and 2008 — 41cases.

Mosquitoes spread West Nilevirus after the insects feed oninfected birds.

The disease can sickenpeople, horses, and manytypes of birds and other ani-mals. Infected horses do notspread the disease to otherhorses or animals.

Ill horses show a loss of coor-dination, loss of appetite, confu-sion, fever, and stiffness andmuscle weakness, particularly inthe hindquarters.

Public invited to

preview new English

and science materialsThe Issaquah School

District invites the public toweigh in on the upcomingcurriculum changes for ele-mentary science and highschool language arts.

Typically, the district updatescurriculum every seven years,but both subjects have had alonger wait, due to budget cutsfor updates to elementary sci-ence curriculum in 2003 and tohigh school language arts curricu-lum during a three-year periodfrom 1999-2001.

The process for updating cur-riculum is a long one, includingparent surveys, review from twocommittees, public input nightsand finally, a fortnight of publicpreview.

Both curricula are available forpublic comment until June 22 atthe district office, 565 N.W. HollySt.

After the public comment, theIssaquah School Board will voteto approve or reject the two cur-riculums.
