Good job, Rodger. If you would come to Liver & Onions once in a while, I wouldn't have forgotten that you're on U-A. ;-) On Wed, Aug 22, 2018 at 12:15 PM Rodger C. Fry <rcfry@comcast.net> wrote:
All,
Chuck Hard's advice has already been done. Read below:
Mr. Fry, thanks for the email and your concern about exposure to the West Nile Virus. It sounds like you're doing all the right things, encouraging people to wear long sleeves and pants, and using mosquito repellent. With people being informed and taking precautions, I don't think that cancelling events will be necessary. Thanks again, ________________________________________ From: Rodger C.

My name is Rodger Fry and I am the director of the Stansbury Park Observatory Complex. As you know we have the public in attendance at our free star parties after dusk and our volunteers and the public are exposed to mosquito bites. We want to insure that we inform the public and our volunteers of precautions that should be taken to minimize the treat of exposure to the West Nile Virus.
We plan to continue with our scheduled events the next of which is on Saturday, September 1, 2018 from dusk to 12:00 PM. We plan to have insect repellent available to all in attendance and encourage long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Any other guidelines you can provide us with will be appreciated.
At this time, we don’t feel that cancelling events is warranted but if this is your recommendation we would follow it.
Please advise.
Thanks Rodger C. Fry Stansbury Park Observatory Director

I don't really have a dog in this race, but it seems to me that the first thing the SLAS board should do is contact the Health Department, and ask what they advise.

I have to agree with Joe that public safety is our priority. However, I wonder if we couldn’t post a sign saying “West Nile Virus detected-please use repellent,” at the entrance to SPOC? Also, is it possible to have the grounds keeper use a spray a couple hours ahead before the public begins arriving? Just a thought.
