DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows more than two-thirds of the people who were hospitalized with a flu virus spread by swine at county fairs were from Ohio.

The report released Thursday showed that 11 of 16 people hospitalized for H3N2v this summer were Ohioans. The state also had the only reported death associated with the outbreak.

The Dayton Daily News reported 107 cases of the new flu were reported from July 28-Sept. 24. Dr. Celia Quinn, author of the CDC report, said most cases were fairly mild. Nationally, 306 cases have been reported. Indiana had the most cases, with 138 human infections reported.

So far, H3N2v has mostly been associated with swine exhibits at county fairs.

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A couple and two step-grandchildren they were raising were killed in an intense fire that collapsed the walls of their farmhouse.

Family members identified the couple as 72-year-old Leon “Bubba” McClaran and his 70-year-old wife, Molli. The family said the children were 9-year-old Chloe Pope and 7-year-old Gage Daniel.

Someone passing the McClaran farm in Bedford County saw the home near Unionville enveloped in flames the night of Sept. 23 and called for help. Sheriff Randall Boyce said by the next morning, investigators had found three of the bodies. Law enforcement agents continued to sift through the rubble for the remaining body, sometimes using heavy equipment.

Mary Lamb described her brother, Bubba, as someone who was always willing to help.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa agriculture and health officials are warning mosquitoes are still active in the state and are urging horse owners to have the animals vaccinated against West Nile virus.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and Iowa Department of Public Health said mosquitoes can carry West Nile virus (WNV) until the first hard freeze. Officials say surveillance has shown a larger number of horses have been infected with WNV this year, with more than 20 confirmed cases. Last year, Iowa only had one confirmed case in a horse.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama is revoking a Chinese company’s purchase of four wind farm projects in the vicinity of a U.S. naval facility’s restricted airspace.

In his decision, Obama orders Ralls Corp., a company owned by Chinese nationals, to divest interest in the wind farms it purchased earlier this year in Oregon. The sites are all in the vicinity of restricted airspace near the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility Boardman.

The administration cites unspecified national security risks as the reason for blocking the transaction.

OKAWVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Cleanup efforts are under way in southern Illinois after an apparent tornado toppled at least one tractor-trailer while damaging buildings in Washington County.

Okawville Police Chief Steve Millikin said the tornado he videotaped on his dashboard camera clipped the northern edge of his 1,400-resident village Sept. 25. He said that’s where the storm leveled a house under construction and damaged roofs and farm structures. He said the trucker in the overturned rig was slightly injured.

Meteorologist Ben Miller said eyewitness reports and video appeared to confirm a tornado caused the damage. The intensity, path and length haven’t yet been determined.

GREENFIELD, Ind. (AP) — Vendors who closed their booths early at the Hancock County 4-H fair this summer are protesting a push by fair organizers to bar them from next year’s event as punishment.

The Hancock County 4-H Agriculture Assoc. sent letters to 13 groups that had booths in the community tents at the June fair. The letter informs the operators that since their booths were unoccupied or removed prior to teardown, they won’t be allowed to return in 2013.

Many booth operators told the Daily Reporter they closed early because of an approaching storm. The agriculture association’s contract requires that vendors stay at the fair until 10 p.m. the final day. Sarah Burke of the ag association board said the panel is reconsidering its decision to exclude the groups.
