It's official. A dead Cooper's hawk found in Willow Glen tested positive for West Nile virus.

In a press release dated Aug. 5, the Santa Clara County Vector Control District said that infected birds were also found in Sunnyvale and Campbell.

The infected Cooper's hawk turned up near Pine and Lincoln avenues. Although these are not the first infected birds located in Santa Clara County, this is the first confirmation of the presence of the virus in Willow Glen, Campbell and Sunnyvale. The latest discoveries bring the total number of infected birds found in Santa Clara County to five.

There have been no human cases or mosquitoes found with the virus in Santa Clara County or surrounding counties to date.

Willow Glen resident is
one of the city's oldest

When Willow Glen Villa resident Harry Miller celebrated his birthday, he had quite a few candles to blow out—104, to be exact.

Born in Poland on Aug. 8, 1900, Miller immigrated to the United States at the age of 6. He has lived in San Jose since 1910. For the past eight years Willow Glen Villa, a retirement community on Gaton Avenue, has been home.

He worked as a professional tailor until he was a hearty 94 years old. And even after retiring, he continues to sew for his own enjoyment. When his caregiver at the Villa asked him how long he wanted to live, Miller said, "Moses lived to be 120, and I plan to live to 120 plus one day."

He has two daughters, four grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. Miller has outlived both his spouses, Helen and Ann Miller.
