Zindler’s map.
Before the map was
created, researchers
relied heavily on calls to
the county Health
Department from citi
zens tracking dead birds.
When multiple birds
died in an area, scien
tists would then test
mosquitoes in that loca
tion for West Nile virus.
“Something had to
die or be sick before we
recognized an area or
tested it for West Nile,”
Zindler said.
The map includes
every street in the Bryan-
College Station area. It is
color coded with pink,
yellow and salmon to
indicate the level of risk
in particular areas.
“This map helps
define our target,” said
Jim Olson, a medical
entomologist at Texas
A&M.
Olson said Bryan and
College Station have
limited resources for
mosquito control.
“The more accurate
our target, the more
effective our resources
are,” Olson said.
Zindler’s map is
being used by citizens
and is very informative,
according to Mary Sue
Aday, an Environmental
Heath Inspector for
Brazos County.
“It’s a wall map that
anyone can use,” Aday
said. “We have it inside
the Health Department
by the clerks on the left
hand side.”
Zindler said she hopes
this map will make citi
zens more aware of the
West Nile threat that
exists in our community.
The West Nile tracker
is available for residents
of Bryan and College
Station to view. It is locat
ed at the Brazos Valley
Health Department on
William Joel Bryan Street
and on the fourth floor of
the Entomology building.
The map can also be
accessed online at
www.brazoshealth.org.
“The map serves to
give people a better feel
of where they are in
relation to hot spots,”
Olson said. “It will give
them cause to be a little
more cautious; seeing is
believing.”

There were 48 women in the Corps
when Roman-Hales began her fresh
man year.
“Only four of us stayed all four
years until final review,” Roman-Hales
said. “We all stayed for different rea
sons; we were dedicated to each other
and having women in the Corps.”
After Roman-Hales graduated from
A&M, she joined the U.S. Air Force
and has traveled all around the world,
said her father, Jaime Roman Sr.
“She had a lot of responsibility
all along in the jobs she had,”
Roman said.
Roman-Hales has had an extensive
career, including a position as com
mander of the 321st Expeditionary
Support Squadron during Operation
Enduring Freedom based in Oman
and deputy support group commander
of the 52nd Support Group in
Germany. In 2003, Roman-Hales
transferred to the Wright-Patterson
Air Force Base in Ohio where she has
worked until now.
“It is absolutely wonderful to be
back home,” Roman-Hales said.
Roman-Hales returns to Texas as
A&M plans a 30th anniversary for
women in the Corps, said Lisa
Kalmus, curator of the Sanders Corps
of Cadets Center. The celebration will
be held the weekend of Sept. 11.
Kalmus said women are now fully
integrated into the Corps.
“They are like any other cadets
and have the same duties and
responsibilities,” Kalmus said.
“There’s not really a difference
between the males and the females;
they are Aggies and cadets.”
This year marked the first time a
woman was a Corps bugler. Kalmus said.
“In the 23 years I’ve been in the Air
Force, life has changed for women,”
Roman-Hales said. “The sky is the
limit. They can climb as high on the
ladder as their talents and motivations
will let them.”
that’s where the real test is
of the announcement.”
The U.S. government, as part of its anti-terror* !
strategy after the attacks of Sept. 11,2001,®
sought to cut off the sources of financing forier i
ist organizations.
The commission “will take over all aspec:
private overseas aid operations and assume resm
sibility for the distribution of private chanii|
donations from Saudi Arabia,” the Saudi En4 .
said in a statement.
Al-Jubeir said certain Saudi groups inthel;
dom, such as Al-Haramain, that seek to siippi
causes abroad or committees to support
Palestinians or the Afghans or the Bosnians wei
be folded into the commission.
He said the commission will he subject tos:
financial legal oversight and will operate accor;
to clear policies to ensure that charitable li
intended to help the needy are not misused.
Last year, Saudi Arabia banned all private r;
and charitable groups from sending money overli
until regulations were in place to ensure them
does not go to terrorist groups.
In other action, the United States and L
Arabia said they are jointly asking the I'd
Nations to add five branches of Al-Haramaint i
blacklist of terrorist financiers. If the branche*. I
added to the list, which is honored by membercoi
tries, any assets found belonging to the braird
would be frozen.
The five branches are in the Netherk
Albania, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Ethiopia
The United States ordered U.S. banks to bJ
the assets of the five branches and those belonJ
to Aqeel Abdulaziz Al-Aqil, Al-Haramain’sfor
leader, the Treasury Department said.
“These entities and this individual haveproi
ed financial, material and logistical support io||
al-Qaida network, Osama bin Laden or the Tai \
fueling and facilitating their efforts to carryl
vile acts against immu-uit individuals ai\(Dlie.c|
lized world.” said Juan Zarate, fteasurytytfai
assistant seerpjary for terrorist financing ftfuliwi
cial crimes.
The United States and the Saudis previouslylii
designated other branches of Al-Haramain ass
peeled terrorist financiers. Al-Haramain has den*
any link to terrorist activities and has said itm
involved only in charity work for the poor.
