[Update: The Brookline Health Department issued a press release earlier today, which we have included below. 3:33 p.m.]
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health confirmed that a Brookline woman in her mid-twenties had the virus. The woman, whose identity was not released, was not hospitalized and has since recovered, Brookline's Department of Public Health said in a press release.
In July, WNV was detected in mosquitoes collected in South Brookline near the West Roxbury line.
The following is a press release from the Brookline Health Department
State Public Health Officials Confirm Human Case of West Nile in Brookline, the 16th confirmed human case in Massachusetts this year. On September 21, 2012, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) confirmed a human case of West Nile Virus (WNV) in Brookline. The individual in her mid-twenties was not hospitalized and has recovered. The virus continues to be found in mosquitoes at monitoring sites in town.
According to Alan Balsam, Director of Public Health and Human Services, "This points up the need to follow recommendations for self-protection until the first frost".
West Nile Virus (WNV) and Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE).
Mosquitoes get WNV and EEE by biting infected birds. People and animals can get these diseases by being bitten by an infected mosquito. There is no evidence that a person can get these viruses from handling live or dead infected birds or animals. However, gloves should be worn when handling any dead animals and double plastic bags used to discard them in the trash.Most people bitten by mosquitoes carrying WNV will experience no symptoms or very mild symptoms and will recover on their own. Persons over 50 years of age have the highest risk of severe WNV disease. People who are bitten by mosquitoes carrying EEE tend to experience more severe symptoms. Severe symptoms of both diseases include high fever, muscle weakness, headache, disorientation, neck stiffness, paralysis, coma, tremors, convulsions and sometimes death. There is currently no vaccine or medical cure for these illnesses. In severe casesintensive medical therapy such as intravenous (IV) fluids and nutrition, and ventilator support can be administered in hospitals.
What is Brookline doing to protect me?
The Brookline Department of Public Health is involved in active surveillance for mosquito-borne viruses. Dead bird reports are no longer collected by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) and dead birds are no longer tested for WNV as MDPH has determined that tracking and testing of dead birds is no longer a useful way to monitor WNV activity. Mosquito collecting and testing, which provide a more reliable indication of current WNV activity, began in June. For further information, call the MDPH Information line at 1-866-627-7968.
Brookline will be doing the following to address mosquito-borne viruses this summer and fall:
- Larvicide is being applied to targeted catch basins and some wetland areas to prevent hatching of new mosquitoes;Mosquito traps have been established and mosquito pools are being tested for the virus;
- An information line is established at (617) 730-2295 and at www.brooklinema.gov;
- Mosquito-borne virus information appears on the Town web site with a link to the State Lab including updated mosquito count and test results;
- There is inspection and enforcement of standing water areas in parks, fields, tires, etc.;
Spraying to kill adult mosquitoes may be done, only if absolutely necessary, and if recommended by the State. Every effort will be made to notify residents of the spraying beforehand.
What can I do to protect myself?
Avoid Bites! Follow these steps:
- Avoid outdoor activity between dusk and dawn.
- If you must be outdoors when mosquitoes are active, wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and socks.
- Cover baby carriages or playpens that are outdoors with mosquito netting;
- When outside, use a mosquito repellent.
- Repellents that contain DEET are the most effective, although DEET should not be used on infants. This year, the CDC also recommends products which contain either the chemical Picaridin, found in Cutter Advanced; or products containing the oil of lemon eucalyptus.
Alternatives to DEET that can also be effective for a limited duration (1hour) on the market are: citronella; Avon Skin-So-Soft Plus IR3535; Buzz Away, neem oil, and soybean oil;- Avoid areas that tend to have a lot of mosquitoes, such as wetlands or swampy areas;
- Fix holes in all window and door screens;
- Remove standing or stagnant water in your yard where mosquitoes are likely to breed. Check your flower pots, wheelbarrows, garbage cans, birdbaths, swimming pool covers, clogged gutters on your house, old tires, etc.;
- Repair leaking pipes and outdoor faucets;
- Keep your grass cut short and bushes near your house trimmed so mosquitoes can't hide;
- Call the health department if you see standing water problems that are not on your property.
For further information or to report stagnant water (more than 10 days) or other complaints, please call the Brookline Department of Public Health at 617-730-2300.

Brian Andrews
Brian Andrews joins the CBS4 News Special Projects team as an Investigative Reporter. He returns to South Florida after spending several years in Latin America reporting stories about lifestyle and culture and running the english language operations of one of Colombia's largest private broadcasters.
Brian's passion for reporting took him to Latin America in 2007 where his work with RCN made him one of the most recognized "gringos" in Colombia. Colombia's "Noticias en Ingles" ran for several years as a segment in the network main newscasts, and expanded into a regional version covering all Latin American countries for RCN's NTN24 all news channel in 2010.
Before joining RCN, Brian spent time as a consultant for Caracol Television. He also served as a freelance Correspondent for CBS News, CBS Radio and The Miami Herald. In addition to his work on Colombia's News in English, Brian also volunteered as an Ambassador for Colombia Tourism and "Colombia is Passion." He was featured as the voice of the famous animated monkey in RCN's World Cup coverage in 2010 and appeared as the model image in a catalog of men's fashions for Colombian designer Carlos Nieto.
For more than a decade, Brian was one of the most popular news anchors and reporters on South Florida television. Whether it was breaking news, politics, a huge international story, or a major storm, viewers of WSVN7 and CBS4 were used to seeing Brian on the story. During his many years on Miami Television, he reported from Cuba, Chile, Colombia, the Bahamas, Belize, Haiti, Italy, Israel, Jamaica, Panama, Venezuela, Peru, Thailand, Sri Lanka and throughout the Caribbean.
Reporting the news has been Brian's passion since he was a child. He had his own radio show at the age of 13. At 18, while attending Georgia State University in Atlanta, he joined the staff of the CNN Radio Network. After several years of working almost every job in the radio division, he made the transition to the TV side of CNN, at 21, becoming an anchor of the Emmy-nominated "CNN Newsroom" program, aimed at young viewers in schools throughout the world. After Atlanta, it was on to Miami, where Brian was a long-time reporter and anchor. Brian also spent time as a National Correspondent for CBS Newspath.
Brian loves to share his knowledge and passion for visual media with the next generation of digital journalists. He's lectured at several Universities in Colombia and the United States. Also, he teamed up with well known Colombian broadcaster Rafael Poveda to teach workshops to aspiring digital journalists in Bogota. Brian has been recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists for his foreign reporting, and by several South Florida federal and local law enforcement agencies for his local reporting and special series. He was also part of the WFOR-TV team of journalists honored with the Edward R. Murrow Award for Breaking News coverage in 2006.
In 2012, Brian was named Best TV News Reporter by the Miami New Times. The New Times wrote of Brian, "Few television reporters in South Florida offer more charisma or insider knowledge of the region than Andrews. The dude is 100 percent elan, and his vibe perfectly fits Miami and Broward. He pulses with color. And Andrews' stories, whether detail the latest on a murder or a major storm or some international intrigue, always go further to bring us the news we need now."
Brian lives in Downtown Miami, where he volunteers his time to help promote Miami-Dade County as a member of the County's Small Business Advisory Committee and the Miami-Dade Sports Commission's Media Relations Sub-committee.

Chattanooga police were still looking for a suspect in an attempted robbery Tuesday evening after a SWAT call out to a residence on Dodson Avenue yielded no results.
A witness, who police declined to elaborate on, saw a man who attempted to rob the Cricket store on East Third Street just before 2 p.m. Tuesday and later make entry into the residence. No one was injured during the robbery attempt.
"At one point someone had seen the suspect enter the residence," said Master Patrol Officer Nathan Hartwig.
Police have active warrants for 19-year-old Dameion Reynolds for attempted aggravated robbery. He was reportedly armed with a handgun. Police believe he is armed and dangerous.
The car, which was seen leaving the store after the robbery, was also found at 551 Dodson Ave. where Reynolds and his mother reside.
"That' s why officers surrounded the house. We called out the SWAT team and negotiation team to try and make contact with him. No contact was ever made. We made entry into the residence and he was not there," Hartwig said.
A portion of the street was blocked for hours and not cleared until 7:30 p.m. Some residents had to be evacuated from their homes.
State Rep. Joanne Favors, who normally travels on Dodson Avenue, stopped Tuesday afternoon.
"This is so sad," she said, standing amongst residents. "I wish all of this crime would stop. It ruins too many lives."
Reynolds filed a federal lawsuit against a Chattanooga Police Department officer last year stemming from a 2011 incident when he was detained after officers were investigating a burglary near his home.
The lawsuit alleges that Reynolds was struck in the chest by Officer Mario Cunningham after Reynolds was already handcuffed with both hands behind his back. Reynolds' mother told officers that her son had "hardware" in his back from a surgery and could be paralyzed if not careful. Reynolds is seeking $200,000 in damages.
Anyone with information about Reynolds' whereabouts is asked to call Chattanooga police at 698-2525.

Partnerships for Environmental Public Health (PEPH)
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has been an innovator in promoting partnerships between community groups and researchers to address local, real-world environmental health concerns. Through the Division of Extramural Research and Training (DERT), this work began in 1994 with a small, focused effort on Environmental Justice to build communication models to provide community residents with the skills and necessary capacity to become involved in the research process with environmental health scientists and health care professionals. NIEHS soon developed complementary extramural programs designed to increase community awareness of environmental health through outreach and science education. NIEHS also developed research-intensive programs that required partnerships between community groups and researchers to address environmental health concerns of the communities. In addition, NIEHS established collaborative education and training programs for workers with the US Environmental Protection Agency to address environmental health issues resulting from hazardous waste contamination. By virtue of these initiatives, the institute gained a better appreciation of gaps in research, communication, and capacity building, and designed programs accordingly to address new areas of the social and built environments and the challenging issue of health disparities. Public health actions such as new exposure-based zoning considerations, improvement in the built environment through the use of less toxic housing materials and cleanup of home environments, changes in chemical regulatory policies at multiple levels, and changes in personal health promotion behaviors at home and at schools have been a hallmark of NIEHS-sponsored projects over the past decade.
Through sustained support of these programs, NIEHS has become a trusted source for environmental health information and a champion of community environmental health. Projects supported by the Institute's extramural programs developed materials, communication models, and research strategies that have led to notable educational, public health, and policy impacts. Many of these materials were made available to the public through a web-based repository during the years 2000-2006.
During the past year, DERT has gathered and analyzed information from many sources in order to develop the next phase of the NIEHS programs in Environmental Public Health. A Request for Information was released in October, 2007 and 120 responses from interested parties were received and made available on the NIEHS website. A workshop was held in June, 2008 inviting thought leaders from the fields of public health, environmental justice, community based research, communication, and advocacy in order to help develop the framework for a new program called Partnerships for Environmental Public Health Program (PEPH). The outline of a new program of grants to support research, communication, capacity building, and evaluation over the next ten years will be described.

Everyone, particularly those in the squeezed middle, needs to plan ahead. Here independent financial advisor Gordon Tate tells you how to make the most of the allowances available to you
It has been estimated that there are about 29 million tax payers in the UK and of these, nearly 2 million are earners who generate an income of £50,000 a year or more.This means that 93% of tax payers earn less than £50,000 (Wikipedia).
We can therefore deduce that only a small percentage will be able to find true financial freedom. This kind of freedom is nothing but a dream for the majority; nearly 24% of people have an income of less than £10,000 a year.
The Coalition Government's ambition to take people on low incomes out of the tax system took a step forward in the recent Budget: the Chancellor increased the income level at which people start to pay tax by £1,100 - another 800,000 out of the tax system.
These measures will surely help the most disadvantaged in the country. Those at the other end of the spectrum - the 7% on income exceeding £50,000 - are relatively comfortable.
The squeezed middle
The media makes much of the squeezed middle, the group that seems to bear a disproportionate burden when a Chancellor has to make unpopular cuts.
Before the Budget there was much speculation as to how the removal of child benefit would operate. The original intention was to remove it from higher rate tax payers (income exceeding £42,000).
Clearly this would have been unfair to families with a single earner: if the income exceeded £42,000 by just £1 they would lose the total child benefit, while families with two earners on £42,000 each would have kept the benefit in full.
The Chancellor's answer has been to raise the threshold so that child benefit is only effectively lost when an income reaches £60,000.
Nevetheless the middle is still being squeezed.
Age allowance for seniors
Another group being pressed further are those who are entitled to what is known as the age allowance.
People aged 65-74 and those 75 or over enjoy a tax free allowance of £10,500 and £10,660 respectively, as long as the level of income does not exceed £25,400.
Where income exceeds the £25,400 the amount of age allowance is clawed back by £1 for every £2 of extra income until it reaches the standard personal allowance of £8,105.
The Budget announced that those who attain the age of 65 after 5 April 2013 will not benefit from the higher tax-free allowance.
Those who are already entitled to the extra tax-free income will retain it but the age allowance will be frozen and replaced by the standard personal allowance when it matches the level of the higher figure.
People who find themselves in these groups therefore have the greatest need to nurture everything that they have accrued.
Benefits of planning
Financial planning can go a long way to improving your financial position. Good financial advice can make do and mend resources that have not received the attention they deserve.
The results are often surprising.

William Shakespeare was baptized on April 26, 1564, in Stratford-upon-Avon, England. From roughly 1594 onward he was an important member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men company of theatrical players. Written records give little indication of the way in which Shakespeare's professional life molded his artistry. All that can be deduced is that over the course of 20 years, Shakespeare wrote plays that capture the complete range of human emotion and conflict.
"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
"This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."
"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once."
"Lord, what fools these mortals be!"
"To weep is to make less the depth of grief."
"In time we hate that which we often fear."
"Men at some time are masters of their fates: the fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings."
"What's done cannot be undone."
"We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep."
"Madness in great ones must not unwatched go."
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."
"Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice."
"I say there is no darkness but ignorance."
"I wasted time, and now doth time waste me."
"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
Mysterious Origins
Known throughout the world, the works of William Shakespeare have been performed in countless hamlets, villages, cities and metropolises for more than 400 years. And yet, the personal history of William Shakespeare is somewhat a mystery. There are two primary sources that provide historians with a basic outline of his life. One source is his work—the plays, poems and sonnets—and the other is official documentation such as church and court records. However, these only provide brief sketches of specific events in his life and provide little on the person who experienced those events.
Early Life
Though no birth records exist, church records indicate that a William Shakespeare was baptized at Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon on April 26, 1564. From this, it is believed he was born on or near April 23, 1564, and this is the date scholars acknowledge as William Shakespeare's birthday.
Located 103 miles west of London, during Shakespeare's time Stratford-upon-Avon was a market town bisected with a country road and the River Avon. William was the third child of John Shakespeare, a leather merchant, and Mary Arden, a local landed heiress. William had two older sisters, Joan and Judith, and three younger brothers, Gilbert, Richard and Edmund. Before William's birth, his father became a successful merchant and held official positions as alderman and bailiff, an office resembling a mayor. However, records indicate John's fortunes declined sometime in the late 1570s.
Scant records exist of William's childhood, and virtually none regarding his education. Scholars have surmised that he most likely attended the King's New School, in Stratford, which taught reading, writing and the classics. Being a public official's child, William would have undoubtedly qualified for free tuition. But this uncertainty regarding his education has led some to raise questions about the authorship of his work and even about whether or not William Shakespeare ever existed.
Married Life
William Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway on November 28, 1582, in Worcester, in Canterbury Province. Hathaway was from Shottery, a small village a mile west of Stratford. William was 18 and Anne was 26, and, as it turns out, pregnant. Their first child, a daughter they named Susanna, was born on May 26, 1583. Two years later, on February 2, 1585, twins Hamnet and Judith were born. Hamnet later died of unknown causes at age 11.
After the birth of the twins, there are seven years of William Shakespeare's life where no records exist.
