Honor Flight of the Quad Cities 55 embarked to Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, Nov. 8, bringing more than 100 Whiteside County veterans and their guardians to the nation’s Capitol to visit memorials dedicated to honoring their sacrifices. Destinations included World War II, Korean, Vietnam, Iwo Jima, Marines, Air Force, Lincoln and Women’s memorials, plus the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery and the National Air and Space Museum.

The Whiteside County Honor Flight committee hosted an orientation at the Rock Falls American Legion Post 902 on Saturday, Oct. 29, in preparation for the daylong trip. Honor Flight 55 commander, Honor Flight director and retired Army Lt. Col. Stephen Garrington discussed the itinerary, travel necessities and arrangements before lunch by Arthur’s Garden Deli was served. “This is our way to thank you for keeping us free. You’re going to get the welcome home you didn’t get before,” he told the veterans.

The family of Larry Wiersema delivered his American flag for Honor Flight 55 during orientation at the Rock Falls American Legion Post 902 on Saturday, Oct. 29. From left are Lisa, Eric, Matthew, Jan and Gregg Wiersema and Whiteside County Honor Flight committee member Gary Farral.

Farral of Erie recognized the Wiersema family of Morrison for contributions to the local Honor Flights since the chapter was formed. Wiersema Charter Ser-

vices Inc. owner and Army veteran Larry Wiersema provided free transportation to and from the airport for the Honor Flights since 2008. Wiersema

passed away July 1. His family presented Farral with the American flag that was draped on his casket. The flag was flown to Washington, D.C., with Honor Flight 55.

“Dad was honored to transport the veterans,” Wiersema’s son Gregg said.

“Seeing the vets come back from the experience and bringing them home was very inspiring. From WWII vets to the younger ones, he was amazed to see the amount of energy they had after such a long day.”

The veterans will hold a small service with veterans’ flags at the Illinois pillar of the WWII Memorial.

Honor Flight of the Quad Cities sponsors four trips each year for veterans within a 75-mile radius, all for free.

The orientation and flights are made possible with the generous support from the Whiteside County Honor Flight committee, American Legion Posts 902 and 296 and Auxiliary, Wiersema Charter Services Inc., Ridgecrest Retirement Village, Quad City International Airport, Patriot Guard Riders, Pilot Club, Walgreens photo department, Honor Flight volunteers and donations from supporters.

EPA to characterize and address PFAS releases from 3M Cordova facility WASHINGTON, D.C. – The 3M Company will adhere to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency order to sample and provide treatment to address contamination from per- and polyfluoroakyl substances found in drinking water in the vicinity of 3M’s Cordova facility.

The announcement was made in a Nov. 3 news release by the EPA. “Recent sampling results provided by 3M indicate the widespread presence of a mixture of at least 19 different PFAS chemicals in drinking water within a 3-mile radius of the Cordova facility,” the release said. “Given the unique circumstances affecting this community, including more than five decades of PFAS discharges and the many types of PFAS chemicals found, EPA has concluded that the situation constitutes an imminent and substantial endangerment under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. “I have directed EPA staff to use every enforcement tool at our disposal to require manufacturers of PFAS to address potential endangerment to the public and to compel them to characterize, control and clean up ongoing and past PFAS contamination,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said.

“Communities have suffered far too long from exposure to these chemicals.

This settlement is a critical step forward in our work to protect communities from pollution and hold polluters accountable for their actions.”

“Illinois EPA has worked closely with U.S. EPA regarding PFAS contamination in drinking water around 3M’s Cordova Facility, and we support this work to ensure provisions of safe drinking water in the area surrounding the facility,” Illinois EPA Director John Kim said. “Illinois EPA has been active in assessing the impact of PFAS, both on a statewide basis and at 3M’s Cordova Facility. This action, coupled with Illinois EPA’s ongoing work, is an example of our state-federal partnership to maintain a safe and healthy environment throughout Illinois.”

As part of this settlement, 3M is required to offer treatment to all private well owners within 3 miles of the facility and to the Camanche Water Supply in Iowa in an effort to remove PFAS from the drinking water.

3M also is required to offer drinking water sampling out to 4 miles from the facility for private well owners and out to 10 miles from the facility for public

water systems, as well as to the Quad Cities’ public water systems, using EPA protocols and conducted under EPA oversight, the release said.

“3M’s sampling of the drinking water in private wells near the facility detected a range of concentrations including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) of non-detect to 25 ppt, perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) of non-detect to 30 ppt, hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA), or “GenX” of non-detect to 59 ppt, and perfluorobutane sulfunate (PFBS) of non-detect to 51 ppt. 3M did not use EPA test methods for this sampling.

As a result, the order issued today requires 3M to sample these wells again following EPA test methods” the release said.

“3M was one of the original companies developing and producing PFAS within the United States, and their Cordova facility operations and discharges containing PFAS chemicals date back to the 1970s. 3M’s agreement to the terms of the order including completing the work required under EPA’s oversight is an important step to begin addressing the problem created by decades of contamination. This settlement is part of EPA’s ongoing

efforts to compel major PFAS manufacturers to characterize and control ongoing releases from their facilities.”

Last year, EPA launched the PFAS Strategic Roadmap, a whole-of-agency approach for addressing PFAS. The roadmap sets timelines by which EPA plans to take specific actions and commit to new policies to safeguard public health, protect the environment and hold polluters accountable.

In the national PFAS Roadmap, EPA commits to investigate releases of PFAS and, where needed, require manufacturers to characterize and control their PFAS releases.

In the roadmap, EPA also commits to take swift action to address potential endangerments to public health.

EPA is actively working with its state partners on this effort, which will build upon valuable work led by a number of states.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, collectively called “PFAS,”are a group of manmade chemicals that have been manufactured and used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s. There are thousands of PFAS chemicals, some of which have been more widely used and studied than others.

2022 ILLINOIS REPORT CARD

Chronic absenteeism evident in Sauk Valley, but far worse elsewhere

By TROY E. TAYLOR

ttaylor@shawmedia.com

The COVID-19 pandemic likely was a factor in some of the chronic absenteeism Sauk Valley school districts experienced last year.

The 2022 Illinois Report Card, which was released Oct. 27, identified chronic absenteeism as a key challenge for schools as students returned full time to the classroom.

No school district in the region saw less than 11% of its student body classified as chronically absent, but for some, it was better than one-third.

“I think, in talking to most of our administrators, the main factor was the pandemic,” said Chris Tennyson, regional superintendent for the Regional Office of Education 47 for Lee, Ogle and Whiteside counties.

The figures in this story were based on preliminary numbers provided to the media in advance of the release of the Illinois Report Card data Oct. 27.

To be “chronically absent,” a student had to miss 10% of the school year, usually 17 or more days. Excused and unexcused absences counted the same.

Even so, the level of absenteeism was a far cry from what schools in other parts of the state experienced, data from the Illinois State Board of Education’s annual report showed.

The state average for absenteeism was 29.8%. There were 18 schools that were 90% or higher; most were alternative school settings, and all but one was located in Chicago. There were almost 100 schools across the state at 70% or higher.

Even before the pandemic, chronic absenteeism was seen as a widespread national phenomena, highlighted in a report by the U.S. Department of Education.

During the fall of 2021, however, it became an everyday problem for schools in northwest Illinois.

Schools were coping with absences linked to illness, testing and close contact tracing. Some parents also were quick to hold out students with any signs of respiratory illness. Students also got sent home if they exhibited any of these three COVID-19 symptoms: fever, diarrhea or vomiting.

“Dealing with students who’ve been exposed and need to be quarantined, that’s going to add to it. You have parents concerned about their children’s health,” Tennyson said. “They were being cautious.”

The return to in-person learning was an understandable transition for many parents, Tennyson said, in what was a period of uncertainty.

“It’s a challenge,” he said. “Two years ago, it was acceptable to stay at

We were having to balance learning loss with concerns parents had about health.”

Three regional districts came in above the state average for absenteeism.

They were Amboy at 37.2%, Rochelle High School at 37.3% and Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico at 35.8% Another seven districts saw absenteeism in excess of 20% of their student body.

School rates for chronic absenteeism

Here are the chronic absenteeism rates, reflected as a percentage of the district enrollment, by county: Lee: Amboy 37.2%, Dixon 29.2% and Ashton-Franklin 15.7% Whiteside: P r o p h e t s t o w n - L y n don-Tampico 35.8%, Rock Falls ESD 13 27.8%, Montmorency 24.7%, Morrison 22.5%, Erie 21.4%, River Bend 18.8%, Sterling 16%, East Coloma-Nelson 12.9% and Rock Falls High School 11.2% Ogle: Rochelle High School 37.3%, Rochelle CCSD 27.2%, Byron 21.6%, Meridian 18.9%, Oregon 18.4%, Eswood 16.2%, Forestville Valley 15.6%, Creston 15% and Polo 10.6% Carroll: West Carroll 24.1%, Eastland 18.1% and Chadwick-Milledgeville 11.7%

Breakdown of absentee percentages for schools in Sterling, Rock Falls, Dixon

Looking at absentee percentages at schools within the districts in the three cities of Dixon, Sterling and Rock Falls revealed the following: Dixon: Dixon High School 44.6%, Rea-

gan 22.6%, Madison 17.4%, Jefferson 12.4% and Washington 15.6% Sterling: Sterling High School 23.5%, Challand 12.85%, Franklin 12.9%, Jefferson 16.5%, Lincoln 10.4% and Washington 6.6% Rock Falls: Dillon 29.5%, Rock Falls Middle 29.6%, Montmorency 24.7%, Merrill 24.7%, East Coloma Nelson 12.9% and Rock Falls High School 11.2%

Truancy

Beyond chronic absenteeism, there is chronic truancy. A student is chronically truant if they are absent without a valid cause for 5% of the school year, usually nine days.

Stephanie Youngmark is truancy director for the Regional Office of Education 47, who along with four outreach specialists works with the schools and parents to intervene and resolve attendance issues.

As soon as a student has four unexcused absences, the schools reach out to Youngmark’s team to intervene before the attendance record gets classified as chronically truant.

Those referrals are up. Youngmark said her staff grew by two members in the past two years and is looking to add another.

“Everybody on our truancy team has a huge heart and wants the best for the students they work with,” Youngmark said. “But it has definitely gotten challenging the last two years.”

Typically, the outreach specialists – and that includes Youngmark, who also carries a case load – convenes an intervention meeting with the student at the school involving the parents, an administrator and other advisers or

counselors.

Youngmark said the key to returning a student to full attendance often is to identify and address any underlying issues, which can include financial, health or social stresses on family life.

Sometimes, it’s as simple as outreach specialists providing transportation.

Other times, it means connecting the family to community resources.

But it also can be about reestablishing or finding new connections between the student and school life. Can their friends, a class or activity hold their interest?

A lot of connections were severed during the pandemic, Youngmark said, during the period of lockdowns and at-home remote learning. Youngmark pointed out there were students who essentially skipped most of their junior high years.

Entering high school itself can be overwhelming, and going directly from grade school even moreso. Lost were those junior high years when social, extracurricular and academic connections are made. “[We’re] still seeing a residue because there are kids struggling and they are behind,” Youngmark said. “[Kids are] facing more mental health and anxiety. [They need more] social-emotional support. It’s a very real thing that’s happening.”

That begins a period of monitoring, daily calls to the schools to track absences and monthly evaluations, all of which continues until they reach 90% in-person attendance. Until that number is reached, interventions may continue into the subsequent semester.

If it gets worse, state’s attorney’s offices and court services can become involved; if it gets better, the reins come off. “[The] goal is to get them to be independent with their attendance,” she said.

Truancy rates for districts by county

Truancy rates for school districts by county are below: Lee: Dixon 11.7%, Amboy 12% and Ashton-Franklin 4.1% Carroll: Eastland 3% and West Carroll 9.8% Whiteside: Erie 6.5%, River Bend 2.7%, Prophetstown-L-T 9.3%, Sterling 6.5%, Morrison 6.1%, Rock Falls ESD 3.3% and Rock Falls High School 5.8% Ogle: Rochelle HS 13.7%, Oregon 5.8%, Forrestville Valley 6.1%, Polo 3.2%, Meridian 4.7%, Byron 2.4% and Rochelle CCSD 6.1% School districts that did not have truancy figures include Steward, Paw Paw, Chadwick-Milledgeville, East Coloma-Nelson, Montmorency, Kings, Creston and Eswood.

New ladder truck for Rapids City Fire Protection District

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

After three years of planning, designing and waiting, the Rapids City Fire Protection District’s new ladder truck was delivered to Port Byron last month. The 2022 Rosenbauer features six primary operations that give volunteer firefighters and the communities they serve peace of mind in the event of an emergency.

“It provides another degree of

safety for my firefighters and the community,” Fire Chief Don Carey said.

“It’s built for safety all the way around.” Functionality and speed for rescue operations was of utmost importance for the department.

The ladder truck features a 65-foot aerial quint with 360 degrees of rotation. It has more water capacity, more lumens and lighting for nighttime operations, a large diameter hose, air-conditioned cab and is designed for a “quick set up and go.” The truck fea-

tures smart operations such as touchscreen elements and a 20-degree nesting position. An extended front bumper carries the Jaws of Life and 250 feet of fire hose, so when first responders arrive at a scene they can just “jump out and go.”

Carey credited Assistant Chief Don Knapp and Capt. Robert Clark for doing the groundwork and getting the best truck for the department’s needs.

“They did a lot of brainstorming and research, so kudos to them,” he said.

The team held many meetings and worked with the Rosenbauer dealership in Wisconsin since they had the best customer service, Carey said.

After ordering, there was a 13-month wait for the truck to be assembled in Lyons, South Dakota.

Carey thanked members of the RCFPD board and their 10-year plan for the district, which allowed them to pay off the $757,000 ladder truck without

Although I’ve only been a leader for a short while, I feel more enlightened by the few experiences I’ve already encountered. Overall, I feel like it’s helped me understand more about myself, and I would love to help others feel the same way. There’s still much more to come with my B.L.I.N.D. leading journey, and I’m excited to see what I will discover and accomplish during it.

What advice would you give to freshmen that would encourage them to pursue becoming a B.L.I.N.D. leader?

I would say that it’s a great experience where you can learn and adapt in new ways. You get the opportunity to make new friends, to learn more about yourself, and it’s also just really fun.

I’ve learned a lot so far, and I hope that more people will consider becoming leaders so it can stick around for a while!

me when, on social media and such, the focus is mainly on appearances, what people have, what people don’t have, etc. I think, honestly, I would try to make it so there were restrictions on all social media platforms so that we can try and limit the amount of negativity that the internet exposes.

If there was something you could do to change the world, what would it be?

I want people to see others for who they are and to not stereotype them or put them down for what they enjoy or how they think. It bothers

What is one of your hidden talents?

I personally have no clue (I guess that’s why it’s called a hidden talent), but my mom says that I’m good at editing. I’m not so sure that I am but, hey, I’ll take it.

Karalynn Kirkpatrick, Morrison High School B.L.I.N.D. leader

FULTON HIGH SCHOOL

Introducing FHS B.L.I.N.D. leader Owen Brubaker What are you involved in at Fulton High School?

I am involved in robotics, scholastic bowl, thespians, SADA and B.L.I.N.D. What are your hobbies outside of school?

I like to draw, write, play video

games and play board games.

How would you describe your leadership style?

I like to think I lead by example.

What has B.L.I.N.D. meant to you?

B.L.I.N.D. has been a great way for me to get better at connecting with people and being a leader.

Words of advice?

Try new things, but don’t feel like you have to keep doing them forever.

Members of Revitalize Erie are pictured with Whitney Misfeldt after the inaugural Pumpkin Bash on Oct. 29.

Revitalize Erie’s inaugural Pumpkin Dash had 92 runners and walkers taking to the streets Saturday, Oct. 29. The weather was foggy and mild.

“Revitalize Erie would like to thank Whitney Misfeldt, financial representative with Modern Woodmen of America, for her generous donation to our nonprofit organization. With her help, we raised $3,405 to reinvest in the Erie community through events, beautification projects and small business assistance,”

Community and Economic Development Director Katelin Bridgman said. “Whitney opened an office in downtown Erie in April and has been investing in the community through sponsoring the ECUSD Community Service Days, hosting member social events and retirement planning presentations, and now raising funds for Revitalize Erie. She’s already eager to sponsor another 5K next fall.”

loans. Luckily, they locked in a lower price before manufacturing costs started skyrocketing.

The ladder truck will replace the department’s 1996 and 1997 ladder and engine trucks that are showing their age. The older ladder truck is sitting outside Station 2 on Hubbard Road since there’s no room in the bay. It still has some life in it, though, and it’s listed for sale with a nationwide broker.

The new fire truck is not yet in service, though it will be soon. An engineer from the dealership will provide two days of training to RCFPD volunteers next week before they officially welcome it to Port Byron Station 1 with a push-in ceremony.

The Rapids City Fire Protection District serves the citizens of Port Byron, Rapids City and the surrounding rural areas.

Constellation delivers grants to area robotics teams Businesses seeking critical thinkers and personnel with a STEM education and team-working skills have long seen extracurricular activities like robotics clubs as a great way for students to develop the talent needed to work in technical industries. Constellation has delivered three recent grants to area robotics teams to help the students develop these critical skills for future employment.

Constellation’s Quad Cities Generating Station in Cordova, has donated $2,500 each to the Riverdale High School robotics team in Port Byron; the QC Elite high school team, which enrolls high school students from throughout the Quad Cities; and the River Valley District Library team in Port Byron, whose team consists of younger students in grade school and middle school.

“Constellation is helping to accelerate the nation’s transition to clean energy and we’re seeing a greater need

for employees with a strong background in STEM education,” said Drew Griffiths, plant manager at Quad Cities Generating Station. “Robotics programs are a great way to develop critical thinking and teamwork skills, which are key assets employers are looking for when they hire new personnel.”

Funding is an important aspect for each club, which relies on donations and fundraising efforts to get the proper equipment needed for each season’s work.

“Our partnerships with organizations like Constellation have been imperative in the existence of STEM and robotics at Riverdale High School,” said Jason Dennhardt, technology director at Riverdale CUSD 100 and the robotics team’s mentor. “The costs associated with building new and competitive robots every year is expensive.

We are grateful that Constellation values programs like ours and are willing to invest in our youth.”

FOOTBALL: CLASS 1A SECTIONAL - FULTON 28, ROCKFORD LUTHERAN 0

Fulton shuts out Rockford Lutheran for a playoff victory

By TY REYNOLDS

treynolds@shawmedia.com After a defensive slugfest in the first half Saturday, Fulton pulled away after halftime to defeat Rockford Lutheran 28-0 in their Class 1A second-round game in Rockford.

The teams played to a scoreless tie through the first quarter, and the Steamers took a 6-0 lead on Joel Ford’s 1-yard touchdown plunge with 3:30 left in the second period. The score was set up by Brayden Dykstra’s 47-yard pass to Ethan Price.

It was the defense that helped Fulton pull away in the second half.

Baylen Damhoff intercepted a pass on Lutheran’s first possession of the third quarter and that set up Ryan Eads’ 1-yard scoring run with 9:09 left in the third. Lukas Schroeder added a 1-yard touchdown run just three minutes later for a 20-0 lead, and Conner Sheridan put the game on ice with a 10-yard interception return for a touchdown with 6:50 remaining.

“We were opportunistic defensively, that’s for sure,” Fulton coach Patrick Lower said. “We played with the wind at our back in the third quar-

Fulton’s Lukas Schroeder picks up yards Saturday during the Steamers’ Class 1A second-round playoff game against Rockford Lutheran. Fulton shut out the Crusaders 28-0 to advance to the quarterfinals for the second straight season. ter and pinned them deep. Baylen got the interception and we were able to take it in from there. I thought we owned the third quarter, and I felt good about where we were at the time.

Even with them having the wind in the fourth quarter, we were still up three scores.”

It was the second straight game in which the Steamers were able to pull

away in the second half against a 1A team that plays primarily 3A and 4A teams in their conference during the regular season. A week after shutting out Aurora Christian in the second half of its first-round playoff game, Fulton shut out Lutheran – which plays in the rough-and-tumble Big Northern Conference – for the whole game.

“The last two weeks, our kids have been able to go toe to toe with teams that play bigger competition,” Lower said. “When you say Big Northern, you know it’s good football. Our kids were able to do what we did today against a tough team in adverse conditions, and they handled any adversity that hit us and kept playing. That’s probably the thing I’m most proud of.”

Schroeder ran for 146 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, and Eads added 14 rushes for 41 yards and a score. Dykstra finished 3 for 8 passing for 84 yards.

Fulton returns home this week for a 1A quarterfinal game against LenaWinslow in one of two battles between NUIC teams. Forreston hosts Dakota in the other North bracket quarterfinal.

CROSS COUNTRY: 1A STATE BOYS

Riverdale’s Tommy Murray takes third at state 1A boys race Despite the blustery winds, rain and cool temperatures at Detweiller Park in Peoria, the Riverdale boys finished second as a team with 130 points, trailing only DePaul College Prep’s 113.

Tommy Murray was the fastest Ram, blazing a 15:05.55 for third; Landis Musser nabbed 11th with a 15:49.40, and Peyton Sand took 20th with a 16:03.45. Braeden Bode came in 57th with a 16:41.03; and Mitchell Hasenour took 77th with a 16:54.88; Cael

Riverdale’s cross country team starts the Oregon Sectional on Oct. 29. The team finished second in the 1A state meet in Peoria on Nov. 5. Tommy Murray finished third and Landis Messer was 11th to lead the Rams.

Hinde finished 132nd with a 17:22.02, while Andy Murray ran to 199th in 18:09.49.

“Three years of patience, consistency, good vibes and friendship helped us achieve a dream scenario.

We’ve had great senior leadership all season long and they led the way at the state meet. It’s been fun to watch them grow up and make a positive influence in our sport and within our community,” Coach Kevin Claus said.

GLIMPSES OF THE PAST - FULTON

2012: Windmill volunteers journey to Ireland for history lesson 60 Years

Nov. 6, 1962

James Ware, a native of Fulton, will assume his duties as assistant lockmaster at Fulton Lock and Dam 13, the Corps of Engineers announced. Ware replaced Robert Thornton, who requested a transfer and has been sent to Missouri at Lock and Dam 22.

After almost 36 years of faithful service as mail carrier for Fulton’s City Route No. 2, E.J. “Doc” Housenga retired. He started on Jan. 16, when the city mail carrier service was inaugurated in 1927. Housenga has covered the same route through all his years of service.

Gloria Baker, Kenneth Brinkman and Michael Knight Jr. of Fulton High School were among the 15,200 students named as state scholars in the 1973-74 competitive State Scholar Program.

High school academic record and examination scores are used in the selection by the Illinois State Scholarship Commission.

A decision on whether to call an election to vote on the question of forming the “Fulton Flood Control District” is expected following a hearing. Judge

Dan McNeal has been asked, in petitions signed by several hundred residents included in the proposed district, to fix the boundaries of the district.

Indications are that Judge McNeal will comply with the request contained in the petitions. Preliminary estimates indicate the system would cost about $10,000,000, with most of the funds to be provided by the federal government.

Nov. 7, 2012

Four volunteers from de Immigrant Windmill and the Windmill Cultural Center in Fulton journeyed to Ireland in October to learn about the history of Irish mills, how millers and volunteers interact with one another and how we can learn from each other. Volunteer educators Betty Wiebenga and Pam VanZuiden were joined on the trip by volunteer millers Judy Holesinger and Heidi Kolk.

A Hurricane Sandy Bucket Brigade was organized by Community State Bank employees and Windmill Realty owners. Area community members responded with generosity and the funds raised, $5,217, were given to the Gateway American Red Cross.

YOUR HEALTH

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are discussed

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.

Crohn’s disease is a bowel condition that is part of inflammatory bowel diseases. A related condition is ulcerative colitis. Crohn’s disease tends to affect younger individuals, often starting between 15 and 30, though there is another peak between 60 and 80. However, the condition may come on at any age.

Crohn’s disease may be inherited, though sporadic cases certainly occur.

The condition generally involves abdominal pain that may become intense to the point of mimicking appendicitis and other surgical problems.

Fatigue and weight loss are common, and at younger ages there may even be slowing of growth process. There may be other manifestations present such as skin rashes and even joint involvement.

There are certain eye conditions – iritis

and uveitis – that may be involved and sometimes liver conditions of hepatitis, fatty liver and others.

It falls in the category of autoimmune disorders, meaning other conditions of the immune system are sometimes involved including anemias and some rare conditions. The condition generally involves inflammation, and advanced stages may involve strictures and fistulas. They lead to abnormal bowel functions, which may lead to bowel blockage and sometimes necessitate surgery. There is a higher risk of cancer associated with this as well. In the gut, the condition tends to skip areas and lead to granulomas. The diagnosis is made when enough suspicions are aroused to have X-rays such as barium enemas, upper GI, small bowel series and colon scopes.

Another inflammatory bowel condition is ulcerative colitis. This area tends

to involve the farther end of the colon such as the rectum and then extends its inflammation in continuous fashion without skipping areas unlike Crohn’s.

It also may present with bloody diarrhea, which is also different than Crohn’s in general and may have mucus, fever, abdominal pain and weight loss. Sometimes protein disturbances and anemia may occur. The diagnosis is made with the same type of studies as above.

Treatment includes basic supportive measures such as anti-diarrheal agents and fluids and occasionally transfusions in more severe cases. There are several medicines employed to treat Crohn’s disease. One of the more common ones is Sulfasalazine, Azathioprine or 6MP is another chemo agent that may affect the immune system in a positive fashion with these conditions. Another one used for other conditions as well includes

Cyclosporine. Side effects from these are not common. The newer agents also tend to have fewer side effects that are derivatives of the old agents.

Enemas are sometimes employed, especially in ulcerative colitis. Steroids such as Prednisone are commonly employed for more severe flareups, especially in Crohn’s disease. Retention enemas with steroids in them also are employed, especially for ulcerative colitis. Some of these agents are used for flares and others may be used as maintenance. The class of medicine known as Biologics, such as Remicade, Skyrizi, Stalara and other new agents, are being used more and more. Antibiotics are sometimes employed when there is a tendency to fissures, and these may include Metronidazole, Flagyl or Cipro.

Unfortunately, sometimes complications arise to the extent that surgery may be warranted.
