' @/ f; o) c$ Q' ?Gardner said the district is also having all camps tell all parents in writing that "this is an unusual year" -- referring to the outbreak of H1N1, which the World Health Organization has declared a pandemic.

"They need to be aware of H1N1 influenza, that we've had three outbreaks to date and there's the possibility we could have others," he said.

"Do not send your children to camp if they have any influenza-like illness," he said.
