"Put two deputies on a pair of well-groomed horses at a public gathering and watch the chemical reaction. The mounted officers instantly attract children and adults alike.
Two of the three horses in the Blount County Sheriff's Mounted Patrol Unit were on duty at Eagleton Little League Park two evenings this week. The horses, Star and Joe, were making friends with almost every step as were their riders.
``I think we stopped a T-ball game the first night we were here,'' Deputy Darren Sharp said. ``The kids all wanted to pet the horses. We moved on to another field and they went back to playing ball."

"WASHINGTON - Disasters can happen at anytime or any place. Acts of nature such as hurricanes, tornadoes, or floods, or man-made events such as acts of terrorism or hazardous materials accidents can leave little time to gather the essentials needed for a stay at a temporary shelter. Some of us might not have enough supplies on hand to shelter in place for a few days. When making emergency preparedness plans, it is important not to forget the animals. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) urges animal owners to take measures now to protect the well being of their pets and or livestock when disaster strikes."

"MONROE -- Recent heavy rains and flooding in the area means people should be ready for mosquito season and the possible return of the West Nile Virus to Green and Lafayette counties this summer, local health officials say.
In Winnebago County, Ill., a dead crow tested positive for the West Nile Virus last week. The crow was collected May 25 and confirmed positive by the Illinois Natural History Survey laboratory.
West Nile Virus is transmitted to humans from the bite of a mosquito that has picked up the virus by feeding on an infected bird."
