If you are leaving town,
make sure to lock up and secure
your valuables. Maynard said.
Maggie Wilson, a junior
education major, said she'll be
enjoying a professional show
this year, instead of setting off
her own fireworks with her
friends.
“Here in College Station, it’s
just smarter and more fun,” she
said. “We just want to stay safe
this holiday.”

“We want to make the

Sgt. Jackie Maynard, Bryan

Maynard said to make sure
to designate a driver or cele

Director of the Center of North American Studies. The
center, he said, was founded in 1994, and began to
receive congressional funding in 1997. The center serves
to strengthen agricultural trading bonds between the
NAFTA nations. He is also chairman of the Agribusiness
and Fisheries Board of the Border Trade Alliance.
Rosson’s most recent appointment, to the Agricultural
Technical Advisory Committee for Trade in grains, feed
and oil seeds, is for two years. The committee, along
with several others, advises the USDA and Office of the
U.S. Trade Representative on trade policy. The commit
tee, he said, will help advise the government on new
international agreements that could expand American
interests abroad, including a proposed free trade agree
ment for the entire western hemisphere.
“(It) will open markets for Texas companies in the
future,” he said.
With a long list of achievements, Rosson said he
counts his recent appointment as the one of which he is
most proud.
“Getting appointed to this committee,” Rosson said,
“is probably a pretty major accomplishment.”

Carter said, the most recent redis

individual city on whether it wanted to
spray for mosquitoes, but spraying has
not been used because of privacy and
landscaping problems.
Olson said that Texas never runs out
of mosquitoes and the species change
with the seasons, and winter is the season
with the most active mosquito.
Olson said the West Nile virus hit the
“nesting system” this year, meaning it
affected several baby birds.
“Baby birds are what mosquitoes feed
on, because they don’t know how to pro
tect themselves,” he said.
Children, the elderly and those with
weak immune systems are most suscepti
ble to the virus. There is no known vac
cine for the virus.
Symptoms of the virus are flu-like and
include fever, sore throat, body aches and
fatigue. Anyone who has these symptoms
is advised to consult a physician.
