Excerpt
"We live in such a mobile society. I have two little girls in traveling recreation programs and they travel all over the area. Over three hundred kids are in traveling sports in West Salem alone. I do what I do to keep them safe." Dave Geske spoke in the middle of his office filled with pictures of his two daughters, Dana and Emily. Dave works tirelessly every day to insure the safety of not only his own family, but also the families of all those around him. Dave is not a doctor, a police officer, nor anything else one would normally associate with keeping children safe. He is the La Crosse County Vector Control Manager. Dave's job is to monitor mosquitoes and ticks and other vectors of diseases in La Crosse County in western Wisconsin. He then uses this information to track diseases and harmful viruses in order to alert the public to health risks.
