PROTECTING AGAINST WEST NILE (From SDHSAA):
 
Protecting Athletes, Coaches, Band Members, Cheerleaders and Fans against West Nile Virus
 
Summer vacation is over, but the West Nile Virus season continues.  South Dakota is experiencing our worst West Nile season since 2007. As of September 5, 2012 in South Dakota:
 
- 119 human cases of West Nile virus disease have been reported to the SD Dept. of Health
- Status: Meningitis/encephalitis 35%; fever 65%; and hospitalized 47%
- Deaths: 2
- Age: 8% of cases have been school age children
- Gender: Male 50%, female 50%
 
Until the West Nile Virus season is over, it is essential precautions be taken to protect student athletes, coaches, band musicians, cheerleaders and fans from contracting the disease especially during late afternoon/evening practices and nighttime events.  Proper use of mosquito repellents is a MUST!
 
Mosquito repellents containing these active ingredients typically provide reasonably long-lasting protection:
 
- DEET
- Picaridin
- Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus
- IR3535
 
Research indicates repellent efficacy and duration of protection vary considerably among products and among mosquito species and are markedly affected by ambient temperature, amount of perspiration, exposure to water, abrasive removal, and other factors.  In general, higher concentrations of active ingredient provide longer duration of protection, regardless of the active ingredient.
 
Practice and playing fields should be sprayed for mosquitoes.
 
For more information see the SD Dept of Health West Nile Virus page and the Extension Disaster Education Network (EDEN) West Nile Virus Page.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

SANBORN CENTRAL MOBILE APP:
 
Sanborn Central is pleased to announce the creation of a new app for smart phones and iPads that will make it easier to keep in touch with events at Sanborn Central. This is not a true app in the sense that you will be able to find it in an app store, but rather a website that has been designed specifically for the small screens found on smart phones and iPads. You will need to have internet access on your device to use this app.
 
To get started, go to www.sanbornmobile.us on your smart phone or iPad, using whatever method you usually use to access the internet. You may also wish to click on this link while viewing your email on your device. If you are using an Apple device, you may have a little message pop up asking if you want to create a shortcut on your screen. We recommend that you do so for ease of using the app. If you don’t get a pop up message, you will probably want to bookmark the site, then add the bookmark link to your home screen.
 
Here are some general instructions that may help you with adding a link to the app on your device screen.
 
Apple (iOS) phones:
1. Launch the browser (probably Safari) and go to the desired site (www.sanbornmobile.us)
2. Tap the share button at the bottom of the screen (it’s a square with an arrow over it)
3. From the options that pop up, select Add to Home Screen
4. You can then change the name of the icon to what you want it to display, and press Add in the top right corner
 
Android phones:
1. Launch the browser (probably Safari) and go to the desired site (www.sanbornmobile.us)
2. Press Menu, then Add Bookmark
3. Change the name of the bookmark, if desired, and press Add
4. Press Menu again, then select Bookmarks
5. Long press the Sanborn Central bookmark you just created until a menu pops up
6. Select Add shortcut to Home
 
iPad:
1. Launch the browser (probably Safari) and go to the desired site (www.sanbornmobile.us)
