Gregus, who was vice- principal at Holy Name of Mary School in St. Marys under principal Larry Murray last year, says he supported her step up into her first principal's job, As well last year, she co- chaired a board committee with Fran Craig, St. James' last principal who retired in June. "I have great respect for both Larry Murray and Frau Craig and their legacy here. They've both been very supportive in my new and exciting adventure here," she says. Gregus, who lives in Exeter with her husband and two children, has worked as a teacher for the Huron - Perth Catholic District School Board for 10 years, one of which was spent as vice-principal. "I grew up in St. Marys and I'm a product of the Huron -Perth Catholic school board. I've always wanted to be a part of the board. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else," she says. While she has no immediate plans for new Third dead bird tests positive for WNv A third dead bird has tested positive for West Nile virus in Huron County, says the Huron County Health Unit. The dead blue jay was found in Clinton. To date, the virus has not been detected in mosquitoes in Huron County. However, the health unit will continue mosquito surveillance across the Huron County until the first frost. Dr. Beth Henning, medical officer of health, reminds Huron County residents and visitors that it is important for people to continue protecting themselves and their families from mosquito bites due to increasing West Nile virus activity in Huron County and across Ontario. This is the time of year when humans are at highest risk of infection. About 80 per cent of people who contract West Nile virus will have no syniptoms and the majority of those who do become ill, report flu-like symptoms like headache, muscle weakness, and fatigue. Symptoms generally disappear in three to five days. "Use personal protection against mosquito bites as the risk of being bitten by an infected mosquito and contracting the virus is highest during the last two weeks of August and first two weeks of September", says Dr. Beth Henning, Medical Officer of Health. For more information or to report dead crows or blue jays, please call the health unit at 482-3416 Ext. 2001 or if long distance, dial 1-877-837- 6143 Ext. 2001. 1 Donna Gregus - projects at the school, Gregus says she's happy to continue the work begun last year on a new library, computer lab and soccer field at St. James School.
