After 2 years, Republicans Village to see regain County Board majority Since the 2012 elections, the board was split evenly with 13 Republicans and 13 Democrats By nick reiher
managing editor
nreiher@buglenewspapers.com @JolietILNews
Will County Democrats waited more than 30 years to gain control of the County Board in 2012. Republicans had to wait only two years to get it back. Since the 2012 elections, the board was split evenly with 13 Republicans and 13 Democrats. Will County Executive Larry Walsh, a Democrat, could – and did – vote to break partyline tie votes, meaning, among other things, the Democrats gained control of all County Board committees. Apparent losses in District 5 in Plainfield and Wheatland townships, and a stunning defeat of longtime Board Member Walt Adamic in District 9, means the GOP would have a 15-11 majority going in to 2015. In District 5, Democrats Reed Bible and Shelia Raddatz lost to Republicans Darren Bennefield, who garnered 31.04 percent of the votes, and Gretchen Fritz, 29.35 percent. It was Bible’s surprise victory in 2012 – aided by primarily Democratic results in the Will County portion of Aurora --that gave the Democrats the split. Bennefield was to be former County Board Member Lee Ann Goodson’s running mate on Nov. 4. Instead, he was appointed to replace her after she resigned to take a job with Edward Hospital. Fritz then was named his running mate. In District 9, both incumbents now will be gone for2014-2015. Lauren Staley-Ferry will take a seat on the board next to Republican Annette Parker, who came in over long-time board member Walter Adamic with nearly 35 percent of the vote. Parker is a Lockport Township Park Commissioner and Director of Marketing and Sales at the Rialto Square Theatre. Staley-Ferry, a manager at CapitalOne, said she ran for the board “because I believe that my generation needs to start getting involved with planning our future. I believe some diversity and fresh perspective is important in the Board Room.” Some believe it was her union connections through her husband and her father-in-law,
current County Board Member Mark Ferry of Plainfield, that helped her defeat incumbent Democrat Diane Zigrossi in the primary. Zigrossi, Democratic Caucus Chair, had been heavily involved negotiations that led a county employee union to strike a year ago. Adamic, still shocked and disappointed a day after the election, said his involvement in those negotiations may have led to his defeat as well. “First they got Diane in the primary,” he said, “and now me.” Adamic said he worked hard throughout the district, and the loss also could have been associated with Republican Bruce Rauner’s win over incumbent Gov. Pat Quinn. He said it may have been even that voters preferred a female candidate, noting that in District 11, incumbent Suzanne Hart outdid fellow Republican Chuck Maher by some 4,500 votes in their tandem win. Asked Wednesday if the union negotiations and strike could have been a factor in Adamic’s loss, Will County Board Speaker Herb Brooks smiled a bit and said, “Possibly.” Brooks said it also could have been that voters were targeting longtime officials: Adamic has served 26 years on the County Board. Regardless of the reason, Brooks said he was surprised by the outcome and that they will miss Adamic on the board and the expertise he brought as the second longest-serving Democrat next to Joe Babich. Brooks and Republican Caucus Chair Jim Moustis each downplayed the effect of a majority by either party. Brooks said a lot has been accomplished in the past two years, and he expects a Republican-controlled board will continue moving on important issues such as infrastructure, a new courthouse and the budget. Moustis, who said he would be honored to be named board speaker
at the reorganizations meeting in early December, said the county isn’t like Washington or Springfield, where politics often divides the board. The two parties do have different ways of achieving some of those same goals, however, Moustis noted. As an example, Republicans, when doing the 2015-2016 budget next year, may want to see some debt service paid off using some reserves. “Reserves” usually has been shorthand for the county’s RTA fund balance. Walsh suggests using a portion of those funds in the 20142015 budget, but Republicans have said they would like to use more. Moustis said he still believes the RTA funds should be used primarily for roads and infrastructure. Moustis also was re-elected in District 2 Nov. 4, and Cory Singer, with 41. 57 percent and 34.83 percent of the vote, claimed seats over Democrat Donald Keane, who picked up 23.6 percent of the vote. Singer returns to the board after his unsuccessful attempt to unseat Walsh as county executive in 2012. County Republicans also will have to find a replacement for Board Member Margo McDermed of Mokena. She was elected to the state House Nov. 4, replacing Renee Kosel, who decided not to run again. Moustis said they already have several candidates in mind, all of whom would be good County Board members. He said they expect to have a recommendation by the reorganization meeting in early December. Adamic says he will miss helping constituents most about the job, adding he hopes to stay involved in the county in some way. “It has been my honor to serve Will County,” he said. “I hope I have helped make it a better place.” In a prepared statement, Walsh congratulated all the winners in the election.“Anyone who runs for public office should be commended, win or lose,” he said, also complimenting Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots and her staff for providing an efficient voting process. “While I am disappointed to lose two dedicated county board members, I remain optimistic this new county board will continue the work necessary to keep Will County moving forward. At the end of the day, our job is to serve the residents of Will County. My door is always open and I look forward to partnering with the new County Board. “

A number of new developments will emerge throughout the village of Bolingbrook, and residents will notice a few new restaurants to check out. The newly constructed International House of Pancakes recently opened near The Promenade on Janes Avenue, just across from Macy’s Department Store. And further along Boughton Road, near the I-355 entrance ramp is the village’s second Oberweiss. Next door, soon to open is The Burger Joint. The village board also recently approved a special use permit for an O’Reilly Auto Parts store at 440 N. Bolingbrook Drive, near the now vacant, former site of the Budget Rent-a-Car building. HR Green, Inc., is proposing to construct a 7,452-square-foot retail store. Access to the property would be coming from Barber’s Corner Road. The hours of operation for the store would be from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The business plans to employ 12. The village board also approved a special use permit for a planned commercial development of a 3,000-square-foot retail building located at the northwest corner of Weber Road and Thackery Drive in the Country Aire Plaza with Home Depot as its anchor. This is a down-sized version of the original plan that dates back to 2011. Key Development Partners, Inc. had originally wanted to create a 1.295-acre outlot in front of Home Depot in order to develop a 7,400-squarefoot multi-tenant retail building, including a drive-thru lane and outdoor seating. In February 2014, the plan was again changed to omit the drive-thru and outdoor seating. It was now approved to split the lots in two with one as

Local group looks for sponsors for veteran wreaths Will County-based Operation Care Package again has a mission Local group again needs help sponsoring wreaths for veterans cemetery. Joliet-based Operation Care Package again has a mission of trying to make sure as many of the graves of the more than 30,000 veterans honored at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery have wreaths. Each year, the number has grown, and so has the number of volunteers to place the wreaths on the gravesites. But there still were some 6,400 or so wreaths placed last year, and Debbie Smothers of Operation Care Package is hoping to get even more this year. Each wreath is $15, and those who purchase them can place them on the gravesites of their loved ones themselves, following a short ceremony at 11a.m. Saturday, Dec. 13, at the Abraham Lincoln National

Tom and Ryan Gade, 9, of Monee were among the dozens of volunteers to place wreaths by the markers of veterans and their wives during the 2013 Wreaths Across America ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood. The group is once again looking for volunteers and sponsorships this year.
Cemetery in Elwood. This is the same day and time as other ceremonies held across the country. And it is held no in all weather, so dress appropriately. Those who can’t come out personally still can purchase wreaths, but they may not be able to be placed on a loved one’s gravesite, depending on the number of volunteers. And people who do not have loved ones at the national cemetery are most welcome to donate wreaths as well. Sponsorships for specific gravesites must be received by Nov. 22 to be included in this year’s ceremony. Funds received after that date will be used toward the 2015 ceremony. Orders can be placed by
sending checks to Operation Care Package, Wreath Project, 611 Wilcox St., Joliet 60435. There also will be a flag line at the ceremony. Up to 150 American flags will be mounted on 10-foot poles held by veterans, military, ROTC, fire and police. Those who would like to volunteer to hold a pole in the flag line should show up at 10 a.m. Dec. 13 at the national cemetery and see Tom. There will be a luncheon following the placing of the wreaths at Stone City VFW. Donations of food to pass, paper plates, bottled water or coffee would be appreciated. For more information, email Smothers at proudarmysis4@ sbcglobal.net.

Joining more than 90 other Berlin Packaging locations throughout the country, the new facility is 25 percent larger than Berlin’s prior Arlington Heights location and can hold 50 percent more packaging inventory for just-in-time delivery to customers’ fillers. shipments, offers easy highway access near the I-55/355 interchange to serve the branch’s customers in Illinois and throughout the Midwest. “Our Arlington Heights location was 10 years old and saw a 45 percent jump in inventory volume in the last three years. We outgrew it and have been planning our move to Bolingbrook since May,” said Larry Rydzewski, Chief Operating Officer of Berlin Packaging. “With the larger space and newer amenities, the new location enables us to keep pace with our growth and bring beneficial inventory management services to more customers.”
Now with more than 120 consecutive months of 99 percent -plus on-time product delivery, the company’s inventory management program warehouses containers and closures for customers and releases them on an as-needed basis. This helps customers by avoiding the costs of packaging stockouts, ensuring their ability to fill orders, reducing in-house storage requirements, improving cash flow, and keeping customers’ supply chains running smoothly. Customers also have the option to have packaging drop-shipped directly from the factory to their preferred destinations.

I remember when elections were nice, tidy events. We reporters would gather info on the candidates throughout the campaign, setting up our background copy for Election Night, so that all we would need to do is top off each story with the totals and a few quotes. Which was good, because by the time the totals were in in those days, it usually was in the wee hours of the morning. Sometimes, the sun was up when a race went final. By that time, we reporters and editors had had enough caffeine and sugar to open our own Starbucks … if they had them in those days. Speaking of which, there was nothing open after 10 p.m. or so then. I mean places that would serve you food, not just liquid refreshment. Well, there was Family Table. … So really, there was nothing open. By 10 p.m., we were down to machine coffee, leftover pizza (usually just cheese by that time) and halves of
donuts made many hours before. (Why do people take just halves of donuts and twists? Everyone knows they’re going back for the other half ). And the election. There would be a couple people from the paper at the clerk’s office in the county building, or wherever they put us to keep us away from the clerk. We would watch returns on a big screen they set up just outside the County Board room. That’s where the action was. Both parties were there. Many candidates. If you wanted the numbers, that’s where you were. When the finals came out, we would get a copy – two if we were lucky – of a folded computer paper list with the computer-typed totals. One reporter would work with a copy editor – usually “Hawk” Hazen – to enter the numbers into our system for the voting list. The other would be torn apart and given to whomever was writing whatever story. In an hour or so, it was over. Unless the counters went down. Then you waited. More often than not, you still had your results that afternoon in the paper. For the
most part, it was over. That was that. Sometimes there would be the odd challenge, but not very often. Now, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots’ system has totals coming in fewer than two hours after the polls close. Finals generally are in by 10:30. In between, her online election results – scrolling or manual (I’m a manual man, myself ) gives you constant feeds on your computer or smart phone. You don’t even need an office, which is good, because a couple newspapers don’t have them anymore. You want pizza or donuts? Set up shop in one of those businesses with your iPad or whatever. We even have a White Castle now. Then you can post online, text, tweet, IM, Facebook or whatever. Oh yeah, write something for the newspaper, if you have one. All this technology. All this lifeaffirming grease, caffeine and sugar around us now, open 24 hours. And what happens? For the second time in as many elections, we’re not gonna know the winner in the sheriff race for a couple weeks. Despite early voting, we’re going into extras again. And hey, only 130-some days until the municipal elections! And more ads, Ads, ADS! Is this purgatory? No, it’s Will County. And one long, continuous election season.

Will County Sheriff race still in a dead heat Remaining ballots won’t be tallied until Nov. 18, says Clerk By Stewart Warren staff reporter
stewartwarren509@yahoo.com @stewartwarren
The Will County Sheriff’s race isn’t over yet. Despite the fact that the polls closed at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, no one knows if republican Ken Kaupas or democrat Mike Kelley won. And no one will know for about two weeks. Why? In that tight race, there are at least 1,300 ballots that still haven’t been counted. And they won’t be tallied until Nov. 18, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said. “That is why it is too close to call in the sheriff’s race,” she said on Wednesday afternoon.
The 1,300 votes are provisional ballots. Because of a new state law that went into effect this year, voters were allowed on Nov. 3 and 4 to come to Voots’ office and four other locations, show identification, register to vote and then vote. About 723 ballots were
cast in that fashion during those two days, Voots said. And there’s more. There also are about 622 other provisional ballots – a slightly different type of provisional ballot -- that must be checked and counted, Voots said. Those ballots were cast at the county’s 303 polling places on Election Day. Here’s how it worked: Those residents came to the polling place, explained that they had registered to vote and asked to vote – but the polling place did not have documentation showing that the resident actually was registered, Voots explained. Nevertheless, those residents were allowed to vote. So each one of those ballots must be verified before Nov. 18. And guess what? There might be even more uncounted ballots.

Overtime tHriller Woods, Borland stifle Oswego in OT, Klein kicks winning FG
by Mark gregory sporTs rEporTEr
mark@buglenewspapers.com @Hear_The_Beard
It is not unusual for a team’s starting quarterback to be the hero of a football game, making the big plays to help his team win. That was the case Saturday night in Bolingbrook’s 31-28 win over Oswego in the second round of the Class 8A playoffs, but Raider signal caller Adam Klein made his two biggest plays in kicking roles. His biggest play came when he connected on the 20-yard field goal in the first overtime to give the No. 5 seed Raiders the win over No. 1 Oswego. “I have been doing it for 4 years so I should be ready by now,” Klein said of the third-down kick that won the game. “I was ready to kick it first down or fourth down, anything to help us win. Last year when I just the kicker I would have been standing on the sidelines the whole game probably freezing. But being in the game I am warm and

moving around and the mindset is right.” Earlier in the game, Klein converted a fake field goal, when he rolled left and threw the ball back left to a wide open Julian Huff for a score. “We have been practicing it since the first week of the season and have been saving it,” Klein said. “We finally ran it and executed it. It’s the only pass I ever completed as a punter and the best by far.” The fake punt score broke a 1414 halftime tie. Quincy Woods, who played nearly every snap of the game, saw time at quarterback in the second half, running read option plays. For the game, Woods tallied 84 yards on five carries and well as posting a 35-yard TD catch. After Oswego roared back from down 28-14 to tie the game in the closing seconds, it was Woods as a defensive back that jumped the Steven Frank pass and tipped it in the air where it was intercepted

CROSS COUNTRY
Bolingbrook duo gain valuable experience Sophomores soak in atmosphere, look to better their results next season PEORIA - After nearly 30 years of waiting to get a girls runner to the state cross country meet, the Raiders had a pair of sophomores compete last week at Detweiller Park and the Bolingbrook coaches want to make sure it is not another three decades before they get back. “When we first made it, our coaches were really proud and we were really shocked that it took 29 years for us to do it again and that was really awesome that we were able to accomplish
that as sophomores,” said Arianna Amill. “I didn’t know it would be that crowded. It was just crazy. The coaches told us to just embrace it and fun this year and next year we could get down to business and bring back some medals. It was really fun to be here and race.” Gaining experience this season was as important, if not more so, than putting up good times for Amill, who placed 153rd in 18 minutes, 43 seconds.
Her teammate Trianna Rodriguez was 85th in the race, coming through the chute in 18:05. “It was crazy,” Rodriguez said. “There were a lot of people out there. There were a lot of people and I tried to get out in front of them because I cannot do big crowds. I wanted to stay in (17 minutes) and I was close so I guess that is decent. I am content with my race.” Now that they have experience the state meet, the duo has bigger plans for next season. “Hopefully next year we will come as a team,” Rodriguez said.

LEWIS
From Sergeant to Captain Injured Army Ranger wearing the C for Lewis hockey team By Mark Gregory

The Flyers’ Brad Hojek was injured as an Army Ranger prior to attending Lewis University.
As the Lewis University men’s hockey team goes out to compete this season, they do so with a team captain that knows all too well about working as a unit. Wearing the C this season for the Flyers is Sgt. Brad Hojek Jr., a United States Army Ranger, who was seriously wounded in combat overseas. While deployed overseas, Hojek was shot several times and suffered injuries to the hip and pelvis. He spent several
months recovering at a military hospital and then rehabilitation facility in Texas. “From day one the guys have been on board with me and coach and the direction we want to take things and how we want to run things,” Hojek said. “It is a really great group of guys and they have made it easy on me.” He said leading is something he understands, but has his own style. “I am not too vocal about it,” said Hojek, who is 26 years old. “I am very proud of what I did, but I don’t like to use it as leverage or as an advantage for anything. The unit I was in, one of the mottos was being a quiet professional, so I just kind of lead by example. That is just more my style. The guys know my history and I am

LEWIS
Flyers knock off three straight D-I opponents Looking like the No. 9 team in the nation, Lewis women’s basketball dominated an exhibition contest at Division I Loyola-Chicago on Nov. 4 evening. The Flyers led by as many as 27 points, eventually winning by a score of 83-61. “We did a better job of rebounding the basketball after the first few minutes and we were able to run in transition,”
lewis | from page 14 sure the skills I developed in the service help me be a leader. Maybe it is because I am a bit of an older guy, too.” While returning to hockey wasn’t his first goal while in rehab, he is happy to be on the ice with the Flyers. “I just wanted to get better as fast I could and I just wanted to get back as fast as I could to where I was before I was hurt,” he said. “I was in rehab and physical therapy for about a year and a half to get back to where I could push myself again and now the rehab and therapy continues for me. It took me several months to get back on my feet. I was restricted to a wheel
Lewis head coach Lisa Carlsen said. “That’s a huge key for us no matter who we play.” Senior Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./Marian Catholic) and Brawner-Henley each had a game-high 17 points. Senior Alexus Grayer (Washington, Ill./ Washington) finished with 13 points, including a four-point play in the first half. Senior
Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./ Bloomington Central Catholic) added 10 points. Senior Nikki Nellen (New Berlin, Wis./Pius XI) added recorded assists and no turnovers. Lewis’ win is their first in an exhibition game over an NCAA Division I team since Nov. 5, 2006 when Lewis defeated Western Illinois 50-42. The Flyers’ last win
over a Division I team came in a regular season contest at Chicago State, 65-63, on Jan. 23, 2008 in head coach Lisa Carlsen’s first season with the Flyers. Following Lewis women’s basketball’s takedown of Loyola on Tuesday, the Flyers returned on Nov. 8 to defeat Division I Northern Illinois 60-49 at the NIU Convocation Center in an
exhibition contest. Reinhart (Normal, Ill./ Bloomington Central Catholic) made a pair of free throws with eight seconds remaining to help clinch a 75-72 win for Lewis women’s basketball over Marquette in an exhibition game on Sunday (Nov. 9) afternoon at the Al McGuire Center. Reinhart led all scorers with 24 points.
chair for a while and was on bed rest and stuff like that. Lewis is in the middle of best start in program history and has a 12-game winning streak going, where it has defeated the likes of DePaul, the University of Illinois and Eastern Illinois University. “It is very exciting,” Hojek said. “Last year was my first year and seeing the transition from last year to this year and how we improved is great, but talking to the guys that have been around and looking at the program from when it started to where it is today is night and day. It is great to play established programs and a lot of teams are now starting to contact us because of the competition and what we bring to the ice. It is
nice to get that respect from other teams and that is a testament to the program and how we want to improve every year.” Hojek said playing with the Flyers has helped his come back from his injuries. “I grew up playing hockey my whole life and when I went back to school, I was lucky enough to come into a program that was still rebuilding and wanted to add some experience. I am happy to be playing and I am lucky to be playing and I am happy with where I am,” he said. “I didn’t think I would play at the college level at this kind of competition, but I did think I would be on the ice somewhere. It was a bit of an adjustment last year with the level
of activity and the amount of stuff I was doing, but now I think it is helping me stay where I want to be. “The team makes the transition (to school) easier. It really gives
support if you need it. My family has been really supportive and my girlfriend. I am pretty lucky with where I am at as far as the support I have. Hockey has been one of those things.”

He plays that way and is a tough guy.” Borland had several big plays on the night and said the way the defense is coached and prepares makes it apt to making the plays when needed. “We had a couple dropped interceptions earlier in the game but coaches teach us well in practice and we are always running to the ball trying to make turnovers,” Borland said. “Q made a great play and tipped the ball in the air and I was just there to make the play. We put a new defense in to get the pass

Everyone did a good job getting pressure on him all night.” The win put the Raiders in a rematch with SouthWest Suburban Conference rival Homewood-Flossmoor, who beat the Raiders earlier in the season. “I like that Oswego came out and gave us a good game. That made us even closer. Coming into this game, everyone said we are cursed in the second round and we always loss,” Woods said. “This year we felt something different. We felt as if we played as a family, we could come out and get the win.” “We have been looking forward to this since they beat us,” Borland said. “We were hoping to see them again.”

sheriff | from page 8 Wednesday:
Kelley Has 92,737 votes in Will County, or 49.93 percent of the vote in the 303 precincts Has 1,178 votes in the portion of the city of Aurora that is in Will County, or 51.6 percent of the vote in seven precincts Has a total of 93,915 votes
Kaupas Has 92,979 votes in Will County, or 50.07 percent of the vote in the 303 precincts Has 1,106 votes in the portion of the city of Aurora that is in Will County, or 48.4 percent of the vote in seven precincts Has a total of 94,085 votes The Aurora votes are listed on the web site for the city’s election commission. They won’t be included in Voots’ numbers until Nov. 25. So Kaupas has 170 more votes than Kelley -- for now. But who knows what’s inside of those 1,300 uncounted ballots? The uncertainty is good news for Kelley, the veteran Will County police officer who would like to win. When Voots told him that there were so many uncounted ballots, he was pleased. “I feel belter today than I did
last night, after the votes were in,” Kelley said Wednesday afternoon. “Now I see that there is still a chance.” For him, the race went as expected. “I knew I was in for a dog fight. I hoped that it would be a fight to the end, although I would have liked to have thrown a knockout punch early. But I knew it was not possible in this race,” he said. On Wednesday night, his opponent noted that it was a hard-fought campaign on both sides. “We’re optimistic about the outcome,” said Kaupas, the retired state police officer who is now a Will County Deputy Chief. Ed Ronkowski, the chairman of the Will County Republicans, said Kaupas should win. “It is a statistical tie,” Ronkowski said. Historically, the uncounted provisional ballots tend to track in the same direction as the counted ballots, so it is unlikely that Kelley will earn enough votes to beat Kapuas, he added. “It is not going to be so lopsided that Kelley will be able to make up the difference,” Ronkowski said. Scott Pyles, the chairman of the Will County Democrats disagreed. It ain’t over til it’s over, as they say. “I think Mike Kelley is going to come out on top,” Pyles said.

Don’t stop paying just yet Dear Dave, I’m a junior in college, and I live in a rental house. There’s no formal lease, and my landlord never asked for a deposit of any kind. Recently, I started receiving notices from Chase Mortgage saying that my landlord is $7,500 behind in his mortgage. I’m worried about what will happen if they foreclose on him. Should I move out, stop paying rent or what? He’s told me not to
worry, because he’s just behind on the payments and not in default. Chris Dear Chris, Well, the last part is not quite true. When you’re behind on payments you are, by definition, in default. Still, I think you should stay right where you are for now, and keep paying your rent on time like normal. Keep the lines of communication open with your landlord, too. I’d also contact Chase, and tell them about your situation in this house. Ask them to keep you informed about what’s happening with the property, so that you’ll have time to formulate a plan and find a new place to live if the house goes into foreclosure. Chances are they’ll give you at least 30 days to move out if a foreclosure occurs. You probably won’t have to pay anything to the bank afterward, so you may get
to sit there rent-free even longer while they sort out everything. Considering the fact that you don’t have money wrapped up in a deposit or a lease hanging over your head, there’s really not a lot of risk for you here. Your landlord is still providing the home, and the truth is that foreclosures — if it comes to that — generally take a while to complete in Florida. You might keep an eye out for other properties in the weeks ahead, but other than that, as a renter, you’re in pretty good shape under the circumstances. —Dave

Explaining why families should not panic or live in fear of Ebola Recently, media coverage has been dominated by the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The high mortality rate and frightening nature of the disease have many families very concerned. People and government officials around the country debate matters from travel restrictions to mandatory isolation and generally how to prevent a tragic situation here in the United States. The largest outbreak to date of the
Ebola virus is occurring in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. The outbreak likely began in December 2013, but it spread significantly, and by August of this year the World Heath Organization declared the outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.� Currently, over 8500 cases have been reported with over 4000 deaths, but these numbers are likely a substantial underestimate. In this column we will review the important features of Ebola Virus Disease, and explain why families should not panic or live in fear of Ebola.
Transmission information Unlike the flu, Ebola is not spread through the air or water. The chances of you or your children becoming infected are slim. Ebola is only transmitted through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person or from objects like needles that have been in contact with infected body fluids. This means it does not spread through air, food, water, or by touching things like money, doorknobs or keyboards. Ebola infection is extremely hard to contract and therefore it is much less likely to spread than infections that are airborne like most respiratory viruses.
what are the symptoms? It is very important for families to keep in mind that the chances of contracting Ebola virus infection here in the United States are extremely small. There are so many other medical conditions and infections, which cause significant illness on a much larger scale than Ebola. Each year over 200,000 people are hospitalized and thousands perish from complications of the flu, but last year only 46 percent of Americans received the flu vaccine. Rates of obesity are at epidemic levels, contributing to increases in high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Each year in the U.S., close to 5 million people are treated for skin cancer, yet more people are spending greater lengths of time in the sun. In recent years there have been close to 50,000 bicycle accidents each year, and close to 90 percent of those who died in these accidents were not wearing helmets. And while we should all remain vigilant and keep up with news about Ebola, families who truly want to protect themselves and their loved ones need to be sure people are eating healthy foods and getting regular exercise. Arranging for everyone to wear sunscreen when outdoors, insisting on bike helmets at all times, and getting flu vaccine each year are just some of the measures that will result in a tremendous amount of health benefit, well beyond any level of danger from Ebola virus.
Ebola typically starts suddenly with a fever but symptoms can also include a severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, or unexplained bleeding or bruising. The time from infection with the virus to the onset of symptoms is from 2 to 21 days, with 8 to 10 days being most common.
is there treatment? To date there is no proven treatment or antiviral regimen. One of the most important aspects of successful treatment seems to be early recognition and aggressive management of fluids and hydration. A number of experimental treatments have recently been used in infected individuals in the United States. And, while these recent cases all had positive outcomes with the patients surviving the infection, it remains unclear how much the experimental treatments contributed to the successful treatment. Prevention of spread of the infection requires the people who recently traveled to West Africa and may have been exposed to people sick with Ebola to monitor themselves closelyforfever or other symptoms.These people must be immediately isolated at a medical facility capable of handling cases of Ebola.
