Scoreboard donated to Youth Soccer cations SW Indiana Technical advisor, Ryan Mull, was on hand to present the organization with a new wireless scoreboard. "Ryan had contacted us earlier this year about sponsoring a team. He asked if there was anything Frontier could do for us in the way of equipment," said organization president Greg Mullins. "I was kind of caught off guard by the offer but went back to the board for their input. We had purchased a wireless scoreboard for the 2011 season and received favorable feedback from parents. When I mentioned this to Ryan, he immediately contacted the vendor and placed an order for the same model scoreboard complete with sponsor panel. To say that we were overwhelmed by the generosity might be an understatement."

Morgan and Putnam counties seem to be experi- encing the most intense out- breaks thus far, but suspect reports have come from 11 counties in total. EHD is a viral disease that Wildlife biologists from samples before it can be con- firmed," said Chad Stewart, DNR deer management biolo- gist. "Samples need to be col- lected within 24 hours of the deer expiring to be viable." Stewart was able to col- ed dental pad. Hemorrhagic disease is likely affects white-tailed deer every year. It typically occurs during late summer and early fall, and there is evidence that shows out- breaks may be worse during drought years. EHD is trans- mitted by flies commonly known as biting midges, sand gnats and no-see-ums. "Although the reports lect an adequate sample Wednesday from Morgan County and forwarded it to a national disease testing laboratory in Georgia. He expects the results in one to two weeks. The test will either con- firm EHD or may indicate something else, such as bluetongue virus, another hemorrhagic disease that can affect domestic live- stock as well as deer. Deer infected with EHD DNR is receiving are consis- tent with EHD episodes of past years, it's important for testing to be done on viable often fatal to deer, but some will survive the illness. Not every deer will contract hemorrhagic disease, which can be present or absent in any area. Death losses dur- ing an outbreak can range from negligible to greater than 50 percent. Severe outbreaks rarely occur in later years due to immunity gathered from previous in- fections. "If you see a deer that you may appear depressed or feverish. They often seek comfort in or around wa- ter. Other signs may in- clude blue-tinted tongue or eyes, ulcers on the tongue, sloughed hooves or an erod- suspect may have died from EHD, contact your local wildlife biologist to report the location and possibly arrange a sample to be col- lected," Stewart said. A list of district biologists and contact information is at dnr.IN.gov/fishwild/2716. htm. Wildlife has monitored EHD for the past five years after a The Division of Fish & significant outbreak in 2007. Monitoring statistics for the past five years: 2011—Nine counties re- ceived reports of EHD; 2 counties confirmed through lab tests. 2010—10 counties re- ceived reports of EHD; no counties confirmed. 2009—No reported EHD. 2008—20 counties re- ceived reports of EHD; 7 counties confirmed through lab tests. 2007—59 counties re- ceived reports of EHD; 17 counties confirmed through lab tests.
