Abatement efforts continue
Staff Report
editor@ennisdailynews. com
The city will continue its
mosquito control spraying
Tuesday night.
City Manager Steve
Howerton released at statement
Friday saying the city’s spray-
ing trucks will spray residen-
tial areas north of Ennis
Avenue the night of Sept. 18,
while residential areas south of
Ennis Avenue will be sprayed
on Thursday evening. Both
sprays will take place weather
permitting.
Spray activities will com-
mence at approximately 9:30
p.m. and will be completed
within a three to four hour peri-
od. Spraying is limited to city
streets. Alleyways cannot be
sprayed as the truck may not
have space to maneuver and the
risk of encountering children
or pets is high in alleyways.
Because spraying involves a
micro-fine mist of insecticide
from an ultra low volume fog-
ger machine mounted on a
truck, citizens should not expe-
rience adverse health effects.
However, sensitive individuals
and people with pre-existing
medical conditions, including
asthma, allergies and emphyse-
ma may experience temporary
skin and eye irritation, conges-
tion or runny nose, sore or
scratchy throat, and moderate
respiratory irritations. For
these reasons citizens are
advised that the following pre-
cautions should be taken when
spraying is scheduled in their
neighborhood:
• If possible, stay indoors
during the spraying;
• Have children stay indoors
until one to two hours after the
spraying;
• Bring pets indoors and
cover fish ponds and bee hives;
• Close windows and turn off
fans or air conditioners
exposed to outdoor air;
• Remove children’s toys, out-
door equipment and clothes
from outdoor areas, washing
toys with soap and water before
using them again;

The Ennis Public Library will hold its 30th annu-
al Book Sale Sept. 20-22 with proceeds benefitting the
library.
Money raised from the sale will help fund pro-
grams at the library not covered in the library budg-
et. Things like the summer reading program, Teen
Read and Family Fun nights are among the activities
funded by this sale. In the past, the money funded
capital purchases such as a copy machine, but now is
used for the programs mentioned above among oth-
ers.
Encyclopedias will be given away free during this
year's sale and there will be over 3,000 books to
choose from.

Meals on Wheels mission continues growth
Phil Banker

Meals on Wheels of Johnson
and Ellis County serves thou-
sands of low-income clients
throughout their service area,
with help from the Greater
Ennis United Way.
The organization is one of
several receiving aid this year
from the charity.
Founded in 1977, Meals on
Wheels serves over 2,100 clients
in a territory spanning 1,700
square miles.
Amy Jackson, MOW director
of special giving, said the
Greater Ennis United Way was
one of the first to “embrace”
the organization.
“Right now we receive about
$20,000 from them,” Jackson
said. “We thank the United
Way.”
MOW spokesperson Lisa
Hicks said 350 of those clients
reside in Ellis County. Over 600
volunteers help distribute the
meals to area clients each week.
Meals on Wheels attempts to
address a growing problem in
both Texas and the United
States: food insecurity among
the elderly population. In a pre-
vious interview MOW represen-
tative Whitney Patterson said
11.4 percent of American sen-
iors express some form of food
insecurity.
She describes food insecurity
as not knowing where one’s
next meal will come from, hav-
ing no food, or being unable to
prepare food without help.
Eliza Fulton, executive direc-
tor of the Greater Ennis United
Way, said Meals on Wheels
became an affiliate in 2004 after
a locally run effort ceased oper-
ation.
“It’s a service that is still
needed,” Fulton said. “I don’t
see it doing anything but grow-
ing.”
Fulton said as more of the
population lives longer, it
becomes all the more important
to bring not only food to the eld-
erly, but human contact as well.
She said she remembers her
own family delivering Meals on
Wheels when she was younger.
“It’s important that these
people who are older who have
worked their whole lives can
stay in their homes, and have
food brought to them,” she said.
