The Foxboro Board of Health Released the following press release today:

DPH announced Tuesday that the risk for eastern equine encephalitis in people has
increased in a large part of southeastern Massachusetts. The high risk areas are
Lakeville, Middleborough, Achushnet, Berkley, Bridgewater, Carver, Duxbury, Fairhave,
Freetown, Halifax, Kingston, Mattapoisettt, New Bedford, Plympton, Raynham,
Rochester and Taunton.

It is still important to take the usual precautions against getting bitten by mosquitoes. If
you consider the warm weather and the recent rain in the area, this points to the fact that
people are at more risk, and everyone must take precautions to prevent illness.
The Norfolk County Mosquito Control staff continues to spray the areas of Foxborough
on a weekly basis. If you have a particularly troublesome mosquito problem in your area
you can call 781-762-3681.

Autism is one of three autism spectrum disorders, along with Asperger Syndrome and Pervasive Development Disorder not otherwise specified, that include a group of developmental disabilities that cause social, behavioral, and communication challenges for those affected. Autism can occur in all racial, ethnic and social groups, and is four times more likely to affect boys than girls. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control estimates that an average of one in 110 children in the United States has an autism spectrum disorder.

Guests:
Robin Adair, M.D., Medical Director, Early Childhood Clinic at UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center, Worcester, and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, University of Massachusetts Medical School;
Jean Frazier, M.D., Vice Chair of Psychiatry and Professor of Psychiatry, University of Massachusetts Medical School, and holder of the Robert M. and Shirley S. Siff Chair in Autism at University of Massachusetts Medical School.

Host:

Pressure from loyal Foxboro Cable Access viewers may have been a factor in Verizon's quick hookup of FCA to Verizon's fiberoptic network.

"We're excited that Verizon FIOS hooked us up so quickly," FCA executive director Michael Webber said. "The process from FCA's standpoint was quick and smooth and we're real happy with the relationship that's been established."

Foxboro Cable Access channels became available on Verizon FIOS last week -- in one-third the required time under Verizon's new cable license with the town.
