HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
Health Secretary Dr. Calvin B. John
son, Environmental Protection Secre
tary Kathleen A. McGinty, and Agri
culture Secretary Dennis Wolff
recently announced that the state has
completed its West Nile surveillance
efforts for 2003.
“With the recent frosts that have
taken place across the state, mosqui
to activity has dropped off,” Dr.
Johnson said. “With little or no mos
quito activity, the threat of human
infection from West Nile virus is
much lower.”
“The county West Nile coordina
tors were tremendous in helping us
track the virus and find mosquitoes
this summer,” McGinty said. “Work
ing with our county partners, we de
veloped a better understanding of
where mosquitoes breed and where
we need to target our control efforts
in the coming years.”
“Our thanks also go to horse
breeders and other horse operations
for their vigilance and help during
this past year,” Secretary Wolff said.
“They, too, were integral in helping
us to identify mosquito-breeding
sites. The West Nile virus situation
could have been far worse without
the collective awareness of these peo
ple.”
West Nile virus, when transmitted
to people, can cause West Nile fever
or encephalitis. Anyone can get the
virus, but older adults and people
with compromised immune systems
have the highest risk of developing
severe illness because their bodies
have a harder time fighting off dis
ease.
As of Nov. 3, 221 Pennsylvanians
have tested positive for West Nile
virus exposure this year. Seven have
died. Last year, 62 cases of human
West Nile virus were detected in
Pennsylvania, resulting in nine fatali
ties.

Dig-In-The-Dirt
Field Day A Success
Field day attendees listen in on the benefits of the
Quadtrac-pan combo from Case-IH representatives.
MT. PLEASANT, Del.
Hoober Inc. recently hosted a
“Dig-In-The-Dirt” field day fea
turing the latest innovations in
dirt moving equipment.
Contractors and excavators
were given an opportunity to ride
and drive Case-IH STX Steiger
tractors, pulling scraper pans
from manufacturers such as Rey
nolds and Ashland.
Charlie Hoober, president of
Hoober Inc., showed customers
the benefits of the Steiger-pan
combination.
“With the innovations these
companies are making in the dirt
moving business, we’re really
able to deliver high-quality prod
ucts that are more efficient and
productive when it comes to
moving dirt.”
Case-IH tractors have always
been popular performers on agri
cultural acreage around the
world. Now these reliable ma
chines are finding more work in
land-leveling and commercial
scraper’markets as well. Special

scraper versions of STX Steiger
tractors are available from 325 to
450 PTO Horsepower. With stur
dy axles, built-in-weight, and an
efficient powerplant under the
forward-sloped hood, these units
are ideal for scraper work.
One STX Steiger model called
the Quadtrac has tracks instead
of wheels, combining traction
and flotation in one package and
enabling you to work in condi
tions that are normally too wet
for conventional pans. As one
veteran 28-year pan operator put
it, “Once I started running the
Quadtrac, it didn’t take me long
to know this machine was going
to help me do my job better. It’s
much faster than other pans and
it loads twice as fast.”
Some of the other equipment
at the field day included Kubota
excavators and tractor-loader
backhoes. Grouser front-mount
construction blades, Manitou tel
ehandlers, Spectra Precision laser
leveling systems, and a Teagle big
bale chopper.
