Officials warn H1N1 vaccine to be delayed

There will be a delay on distribution of the H1N1 vaccine in the Pecos area, officials said late last week, but everyone is encouraged to get the regular flu vaccine in preparation for the upcoming winter season.

“We should be getting it this week, it’s already being shipped out,” said Reeves County Emergency Coordinator Ricky Herrera.

The vaccine will be offered to those on the priority list first.

“But we also want to caution everyone to take precautions, to avoid the spread,” said Herrera.

Herrera said that they had received an update on Friday afternoon from Gerald Damm and Dr. Padilla with the Texas Department of State Health Services who were on hand for a discussion in the third floor courtroom at the Reeves County Courthouse.

Herrera said that the flu vaccine is available in limited numbers.

“It’s because more people are getting the flu shot than in other years,” he said.

The Pecos area has seen a sharp rise in flu cases over the past month, following fears back in April and May of H1N1 infections coming in from an outbreak in Mexico. That outbreak failed to materialize, but heath officials expect to be seeing more people come down with the flu strain during the upcoming winter months.

The H1N1 vaccine will be available to the priority people, but after that it will be available for everyone, according to Herrera.

“Because of the demand the first shipment won’t be enough, but supplies will keep coming in,” he said.

The vaccine will be offered free, but an administration fee will be assessed. “It will be a nominal amount though,” said Herrera.

One thing that appears to be different from seasonal influenza is that adults older than 64 years do not yet appear to be at increased risk of 2009 H1N1-related complications thus far. U.S. Centers for Disease Control laboratory studies have shown that no children and very few adults younger than 60 years old have existing antibody to 2009 H1NI flu virus; however, about one-third of adults older than 60 may have antibodies against this virus. It is unknown how much, if any, protection may be afforded against 2009 H1N1 flu by any existing antibody.

“This flu is targeting the younger generation, unless you’re older and have underlying problems,” he added.

Herrera said that the key was to try to stop the spread of the flu. “But be prepared to get sick,” he said.

Herrera said that they don’t want the public to panic.

“We have had individuals in the community who have had it and have recovered,” said Herrera. “Most cases are from mild to moderate,” he said.

The main thing is, if you’re sick, stay home, according to Herrera.

During the first part of last week, there were numerous absences reported at the Pecos-Barstow-Toyah ISD school campuses.

“We had a good number that were out early last week, but they came back later that week,” said interim superintendent Wayne Mitchell.

Mitchell said that attendance has been below 90 percent, but that the number wasn’t too bad.

“We won’t know for sure and after this weekend, with everyone at the fair and mingling, we might have more that will be out because of the flu,” said Mitchell.

Mitchell said that if parents/guardians have a child sick with the flu, to keep them at home to avoid contaminating others.

“We certainly want them in school, but we need to prevent the spread,” said Mitchell.

The symptoms of 2009 H1N1 flu virus in people include: fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea. People may be infected with the flu, including 2009 H1N1 and have respiratory symptoms without a fever. Severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus.

Illness with the new virus has ranged from mild to severe. While most people who have been sick have recovered without needing medical treatment, hospitalizations and deaths from infection with this virus have occurred.

In seasonal flu, certain people are at “high risk” of serious complications. This includes people 65 years and older, children younger than five years old, pregnant women, and people of any age with certain chronic medical conditions. About 70 percent of people who have been hospitalized with the 2009 H1N1 virus have had one or more medical conditions previously recognized as placing people at “high risk” of serious seasonal flu-related complications. This includes pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, asthma and kidney disease.

Precautions to take to stop the spread of germs that make people sick include: cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands; put your used tissue in the waste basket; and you may be asked to wear a surgical mask.

Wash hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner.

Police recover stolen items from house, building thefts

Pecos police said one person was arrested and items were recovered from burglaries reported to the department by two homeowners in the the days prior to the arrest.

Abel Aguilar Zuniga, 30, 808 S. Plum St., was charged with two counts of burglary of a building, one on South Plum Street next to his home and the second on property on the east side of town. Police investigator Paul S. Deishler said Melissa Navarrete reported to officers on Sept. 20 that someone had entered her residence at 810 S. Plum St., and had taken between $300 and $400 from inside. Three days later, Eutiquio Zuniga, 421 E. 14th St., told Sgt. Cosme Ortega he believed Abel Zuniga had entered a utility building and had stolen tools being stored inside.

Deishler said he and Sgt. Helen Vernon met with Zuniga on Sept. 24, where he admitted taking the tools from the shed and breaking into Navarette's home. He also told the officers he had sold the stolen property to an older man living at 620 S. Ash St. Officers then went to the home and were able to recover the stolen items, which were then taken to the Pecos Criminal Justice Center as evidence.

Abel Zuniga was then arrested on the warrant charging him with third degree burglary of the building for the thefts from the storage building. He was then transported to the Pecos Criminal Justice Center, then turned over to jailers at the Reeves County Sheriff's Department, and on Oct. 2 was charged in a warrant with second degree burglary of a building for the Plum Street incident.

Calling the Texas Information and Referral Service line 211 will give the caller access to information about H1N1. After selecting English or Spanish when calling 211, the caller should select number 6. There are two options after selecting number 6.

1. Option number 1 is for general information on symptoms, Vaccination Clinics (date, location, etc.) and school closures.

2. Option number 2 will direct the general public to discuss specific symptoms with a healthcare worker. A second function of Option 2 is information for healthcare providers on vaccines.

Also, there is information at the TexasFlu.org website. The website also provides a way to register for an e-mail when updates to TexasFlu.org occur.

As many if not all have heard already, the number of doses of H1N1 vaccine will initially receive declined again this week.

Texas Department of State Health Services officials report that the amount of H1N1 flu vaccine available for the state over the next few weeks will be low and are urging the public and health care providers waiting for it to be patient.

"We've been told that we'll have about 15 million doses for Texas after all is said and done, but it won't be available all at once," said Dr. David Lakey, DSHS commissioner. "The vaccine will trickle in week to week, especially at first. It's a fluid situation driven primarily by how much vaccine the manufacturers produce each week."

He said some 3.4 million doses of the vaccine had been projected for Texas by mid-October, but the latest estimates are that no more than 1.7 million doses will be available by then. Weekly allotments are expected to be larger after mid-October. Some 12,000 doctors and other health care providers in Texas have signed up to provide the vaccine.

Starting this week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will tell DSHS and other states' health departments how much vaccine is available for them to order for the week. DSHS then tells the CDC where to send it based on provider registration information, priority groups, vaccine formulation, geography and other factors. It may be one to two weeks later before that vaccine is in the hands of providers.

All of us will have to be patient and flexible as we meet this challenge," Lakey said. "For example, pregnant women are one of the highest priority groups for vaccination, but the first vaccine available to us is FluMist. Pregnant women should not receive FluMist."

He said the first week's allocation of about 237,000 doses of FluMist will go to registered providers to give to children 2 and 3 years of age. Children are another high priority group.

Lakey said the total of 15 million doses should be enough vaccine to meet anticipated demand in Texas but that it could be late January before all doses are received. He reminded Texans to get the seasonal flu shot, cover coughs and sneezes, wash hands often and stay home if sick.

Cookoff's last place award goes unclaimed

One prize was left unclaimed this year at the Annual Barbecue Cookoff held this weekend at the Reeves County Sheriff’s Posse Arena, while others took home both their awards and prize money for the top brisket and rib divisions.

Judges handed out a prize for the “Worst Brisket,” but unfortunately there were no takers for the special award.

“This year we had the Top 10 and then from there they took the winners,” said one of the organizers of the event, Cody West.

He added that this year's competition had 58 entries, the highest number they’ve had in the past few years.

The contest featured ribs and briskets and teams were encouraged to participate in both.

Grand Champions for the combined best finish in both divisions were “The Badgers Team,” who placed first in the brisket category and sixth in the ribs category.

Second place went to the Fuentez Camp and third place to the Barmore Camp.

First in the ribs category was the Ramos Camp, second place went to Chris Ryan, (the Good Ole’ Boys Barbecue Team) and third place, Terry Kilcrease, with Lee Ryan accepting the award for him.

“He’s the one who actually cooked the ribs, but he had to leave,” said Ryan, who is also with the Good Ole’ Boys Barbecue Team.

The cookoff awards were among several handed out Saturday morning and early Saturday afternoon.

Local FFA and 4-H members received their awards over at the Reeves County Civic Center at the Reeves County Fall Fair Livestock Show.

Christopher Martinez took both Grand and Reserve Champion honors in the goat show on Saturday morning, while Garrett Floyd won Grand Champion and Allann Roman took Reserve Champion in the Lamb Show.

Floyd also won the Senior Showmanship honor, while Jayden Miranda was Junior Showmanship winner and Katelyn Paxton won Intermediate Showmanship in the Lamb category. Showmanship in the Goat Show went to Roman at the Intermediate level, Rosemary Davis at the Senior level and Sarah Serrano at the Junior level.

In the Steer Show, held Saturday morning and afternoon, Grand Champion was Brianna Bugg, while Tori Henderson took Reserve Champion honors. She also was the Senior Showmanship winner, with Bugg winning Intermediate Showmanship and Aaron Hernandez winning the Junior Showmanship honor.

The Heifer Show had only one winner listed, Rayann Box, who earned Grand Champion honors. The Fall Fair Livestock Show will be followed in three months by the Reeves County Junior Livestock Show at the Civic Center the Balmorhea Junior Livestock Show the week prior to the county show.

RCH board set to select architect for clinic

Reeves County Hospital District board members will hold a speical meeting on Tuesday night to choose the architect for the hospital's new rural health clinic. But hospital CEO Al LaRochelle said construction on the 20,000 square-foot facility won't begin until the district can sell the the $5.64 million in bonds approved by voters in May for the project.

LaRochelle said the board would meet at 6 p.m. on Tuesday to make the decision, after pairing down the list of hopefuls to three during their Sept. 22 meeting. Architects Developmers Contractors, Inc., of Lubbock; Wright & Dalbin Architects , Inc. of El Paso; and The Title Luther Partnership Architecture of Abilene were the three companies who made the final cut at last month's meeting.

“I've talked with people they've done work for, so we've checked them out,” LaRochelle said. However, he added that because the state only allowed hospital districts to do design-and-build facilities two years ago, no company has extensive experience with this type of hospital clinic development.

“By law if you're going to do design-build, you have to hire consultants,” LaRochelle said. “But nothing's going to happen on any of this stuff until the bonds get sold.”

The hospital board met with two contractors in July on handling the construction of the facility. However, along with the bonds still not being sold, the district remains in talks on the acquisition of land near the hospital for the facility.

The hospital is seeking to build the rural health clinic in order to provide more office space through the hospital for the new physicians recruited by the district over the past three years. LaRochelle said federal rules on Medicare reimbursements provide the hospital with higher payments if the doctors are housed in hospital-owned facilities.

Board members also finalized adoption of the 2010 budget, along with changes to the travel and reimbursement policy the district's compliance report. Members already had voted to set the district's property tax rate at the effective rate, which due to a drop in oil and natural gas prices, resulted in a five-cent increase over the 2008-09 level.

The effective rate is the level needed to raise the same amount of operating funds as the past budget year. Combined with the 7.7 cent increase in the tax rate to pay off the bonds for the rural health clinic and computer and medical scanning equipment for the hospital, the district's tax rate will rise from the current level of just over 38½ cents per $100 in valuations to .51279 cents for the upcoming year.
