An old political buddy and great guy named Bill Mueller died the other day. He was president of the town of Lombard, Du Page County, Illinois for five consecutive terms and was loved by the community.

He was bitten by a mosquito and contacted West Nile virus. He already was battling blood cancer, but it was the virus that got him. He was not that old.....76.

A week or so ago, a Villa Park man died of the virus. Same county, same state. Villa Park adjoins Lombard to the east.

A relative in nearby Downers Grove told me ony half in jest that she is "hermetically-sealed" in her home for a while.

These towns are in suburban Chicago directly west of the city. This outbreak has got to be scaring people out of their wits in the area.

The population has to be trending down. We got the Chitown summer shootouts and now West Nile.

Bill Mueller used to come into the Lombardian from time to time; I was a typesetter there many moons ago. He was so HUGELY popular as you say, and a great guy indeed!

I hadn't really thought to be scared regarding West Nile (dh still works in Lombard daily), but we ARE changing our birdbath water frequently. Also I take Young Living Oregano Oil (we are distributors) most days too which maybe could be of some help. It certainly helps with other ailments; sore throat, swollen glands, etc. I'll have to look into it. I did see this information online regarding WNV and the oils:
The number of cases of West Nile Virus is at the highest level since 1999...Apply Young Living’s single essential oils like Citronella, Lemongrass (be sure to dilute), Eucalyptus, Peppermint, Lavender, or Cedarwood or oil blends like Purification or Thieves.
If anyone is interested in this line of battle (no guarantees here; I'm not a doctor), you can search out a distributor online or go to my personal page on Free Republic for links to order.

R.I.P. Bill Mueller.
