Ceremony links birthplaces of Reagan, Thatcher

By TROY TAYLOR

ttaylor@shawmedia.com

Mayors from the birthplaces of Ron ald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher exchanged gifts and pledged themselves to a sister-city relationship to promote historical tourism in a brief ceremony Friday morning on the curbside entrance to the Reagan Birthplace Museum.

Graham Jeal, mayor of Grantham, England, presented to Tampico a hand crafted plaque made from wood from a tree planted by Benjamin Franklin in Lincolnshire, England

In exchange, Tampico Mayor Kristine Hill had a matched pair of plaques engraved with portraits of Reagan and Thatcher that will be displayed in the birthplace museum and the Grantham Museum.

It was Joan Johnson, curator of the Reagan Birthplace Museum, who summed up the relationship Reagan, as U.S. president, and Thatcher, as United Kingdom prime minister, had as world leaders in the 1980s.

“Both leaders came from humble beginnings and accomplished a great deal in their times working together,” Johnson said. “There was trust and friendship between the two leaders as they used their country’s strengths and resources to maintain the values of human freedom.”

Reagan was born in Tampico on Feb 6, 1911. Thatcher, with the maiden name Roberts, was born in Grantham on Oct 13, 1925. Her father would later serve as Grantham mayor in 1945-46.

Sean Sandrock, one of the Tampico museum’s organizers of the effort to establish the exchange, said he and Johnson hope to visit Grantham soon and solidify the relationship. There are plans to trade exhibits. There also is an effort underway between the principals

DIXON

of the Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico

Community Unit Schools and head masters of schools in Grantham to begin some pen pal exchanges.

More than 100 fourth and fifth grad ers from the district’s elementary school in Tampico were on hand for the ceremony, huddled in the shade in their heavy coats

“I liked it. It was cool,” said Will Atkinson, a 10-year-old. Several other students expressed a similar senti ment

Erica Egan, a teacher from the school, said the town’s link to history and how Reagan spent his formative years is part of the curriculum. The students have visited the museum before. She hoped the lesson taken today from the lives of Reagan and Thatcher is simply, “If you’re from a small town, anything is possible.”

Tampico is much the size it was in the 1920s, just under 800 people. Grantham, which also lays claim to Isaac Newton, the diesel engine and tennis Olympian Charles P. Dixon, has a population greater than 40,000.

Jeal, who is trustee of Grantham Museum, said of Reagan and Thatcher, who defined conservative leadership in that era, that they “bestrode the world in the 1980s and shaped international relations.”

Jeal was asked that in the context of recent events, has there been a passing of that era?

“I think that’s true of Mrs. Thatcher, though of Mr. Reagan, I’m not so sure. But certainly of Mrs. Thatcher, she’s moving from being a controversial political figure into being a historical figure and who there’s an added defer ence when somebody becomes a historical figure. And I think we’re seeing that as well in some of these ties and docu mentaries and commentaries that we’re seeing on both leaders from that era.”

Grantham mayor tours Reagan sites, meets with young entrepreneurs

By TROY TAYLOR ttaylor@shawmedia.com

Graham Jeal, mayor of Grantham, England, spoke with business students and visited Ronald Reagan sites in Dixon and Eureka before Friday’s ceremony in Tampico

Jeal, who has been mayor since May, is a member of the Conservative party and a businessman with a career in global finance. He lived in New York and San Francisco early in his career and many of his business interests are in Asia.

He shared those experiences during a Thursday gathering with the Whiteside Area Career Center’s CEO program. His host was Sean San drock, a graduate of the program in 2020.

“They are very enthusiastic, exactly as they should be at that age,”

Jeal said. “They’ve got a lot of oppor tunity. They just need to go out there and find it. They are highly ener gized.”

Jeal’s tour of Reagan sites included a stop at the Reagan Boyhood Home in Dixon.

“That was fantastic,” Jeal said. “Great setup there. It’s really important work they do there, keeping the story of Ronald Reagan and how his values were put together in Tampico and Dixon.”

Jeal’s group dined in Princeton and then visited Eureka College to view its collection of Reagan artifacts. Reagan graduated Eureka College in 1932. The visit coincided with an unscheduled appearance at the col lege by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who was in the Peoria area to visit mem bers of an electrical workers union

and review work on the traffic control tower at Peoria International Airport.

Joined by Eureka College Presi dent Jamel Wright, the group toured the Peoria Riverfront Museum.

Jeal, in his role as mayor, is a trustee of the Grantham Museum

Before returning to England, Jeal will visit the Reagan Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. The ranch, like the boyhood home, is run by Young America’s Foundation, an outreach gro up pr omo tin g conse rv atism among high school and college-aged students.

The shop features furniture, linens, crocks, Pyrex, Fenton glassware, quilts, comforters, toys, seasonal and shabby chic items, and brings another

antiquing destination to the down town With Fulton’s De Immigrant windmill visible from the storefront, the name pays homage to the commu nity’s Dutch heritage.

The Spencers have been collecting treasures for nearly 30 years and enjoy spending their time at estate and garage sales. They’re always expanding their personal collections and have picked up an abundance of Pyrex kitchenware, antiques and miscellaneous items along the way. Joe also seeks out furniture to freshen up with a new paint job, so the shop has become an outlet for both of their hobbies.

The couple spent most of their lives living in Thomson, where Lois worked for the Thomson and West Carroll School District for 28 years. Joe worked at DuPont in Clinton for 44 years. After retiring, they moved a bit south and decided to make their antiquing hobby into something more. Finding and sharing elements of vin tage America seemed an ideal way to enjoy their golden years.

The shop also is a way for family members to spend more time together. Their daughter Jennifer McGinnis, daughter-in-law Anna Spencer and granddaughters Katie McGinnis and

Lauren Spencer are bringing their helping hands to the shop and taking on a variety of tasks to support the couple’s dream. They’re all excited to be a part of Fulton’s downtown district as it continues to grow.

“The wide variety of antiques and collectibles make their store unique,” McGinnis said. “There is really something for everyone.”

Windmill Antiques Inc. is located at 1007 Fourth St. in Fulton Hours are 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Call 815718-1594 for more information.

The process of cleansing damaged cells in the body is discussed

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.

Autophagy is the process the body uses to help cleanse itself from worn-out or damaged cells. Sometimes the process involves recycling the old components The term autophagy, which means self-eating, derives from Greek terminology. While the process was discovered in the 1960s, it was not until just a few years ago that it was awarded the Nobel Prize because of the many implications for human beings.

Because the process is in general desir able, scientists have sought ways to induce this process naturally. The process can help heart disease by reducing it as much as 75%. It also may help hypertension. Diabetes and arthritis have shown improve ment. Even cancer has shown improve ment by this process The body has regulatory enzymes that help control these conditions and even the aging process.

When the wrong enzymes are turned on, the process of autophagy is suppressed The No. 1 way to do this is by eating too much food. Fasting has been shown to have a positive benefit for this process by help

ing to remove damaged proteins and other metabolic garbage.

There are a variety of other ways to accomplish this process of fasting. Exercise is one of those key elements. The natural product curcumin also has been shown to have a very positive benefit. There is a powerful antioxidant known as luteolin that has been beneficial. Foods that are rich in luteolin include celery, artichokes, oregano, olive oil, broccoli, spinach, beets and rosemary. Propolis is another source of luteolin and comes from the resin that bees use to make their honeycombs Supplements are available in powder and pill form. Another supplement the Chinese have used is Gynostemma Pentaphyllum. This is often made into a tea and has been associated with longevity.

Scientists have warned about overdoing some of the measures above including too much exercise and possibly too much fasting. Paradoxically they even have some studies about inhibiting autophagy as part of the cancer treatment. In general, though, autophagy should be viewed as a very posi tive way that nature employs to remove its debris.

Fire Safety Scramble History Spot

Dalmatians have long been associated with firefighting. According to the American Kennel Club, Dalmatians commonly ran with carriages, guarding the people or goods inside, as early as the mid-1700s. In the 1870s, the Fire Department of New York began employing the breed to clear the way for horse-drawn fire carriages and defend the horses from other dogs or animals along the way. The tradition continued long after engines replaced the horses, and Dalmatians continue to be mascots in firehouses around the U.S. to this day.

Create a fire safety plan to include pets

Fire safety measures are essential yet often overlooked. In addition to outlining the proper action to take should a fire break out, a fire safety evacuation plan can be an invaluable, life-saving tool. A fire safety plan should include all members of a household including pets. The American Humane Society says each year more than 500,000 pets are affected by house fires. The National Fire Protection Association estimates that nearly 1,000 home fires each year are accidentally started by pets. Pets are curious animals and they may investigate open flames from unattended candles, fireplaces or grills. Pets may start fires by accidentally turning stove knob covers or biting on or playing with electrical wires and outlets. Young pets may be especially inquisitive and boisterous, so fires may be prevented by keeping young animals behind gates or in secure areas when there are open flames. There are many ways to safeguard everyone in the event of fire. Here are some steps to include in a fire safety plan.

• Check and replace smoke and carbon monoxide detectors regularly. Monitored smoke detectors can be helpful if you regularly leave pets home alone, since firefighters will be alerted and can respond.

• Take inventory of where pets like to hide or nap. This can prove helpful if you need to evacuate a home quickly due to fire. Remember that pets can sense stress and may be more difficult to catch if they feel something is amiss, advises the ASPCA. Therefore, try to remain as calm as possible.

• Keep pets near exits when you are not home to make it easier for firefighters to enter the house and save the animals. The Red Cross also recommends placing collars and leashes as well as pet carriers near the exits.

• Invest in a pet safety sticker and hang it in a visible window to alert firefighters that you have pets inside. The sticker includes important information, such as the number of pets, type of pets and veterinarian contact information.

• Plan escape routes and practice evacuations. Make sure at least one family member is in charge of grabbing pets and getting outside safely so others can focus on evacuation. Identify all exits and what to do if one or more exits is impassable.

• Have a game plan should the house be damaged and uninhabitable. Line up a place to meet outside and explore pet-friendly accommodations at a hotel, friend or family member’s house. Fire safety plans should include all members of the household, which includes companion animals. TF207130

Mountain lion prowling rural Morrison, sheriff says

By KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@shawmedia.com

MORRISON A mountain lion cap tured on trail cameras and spotted by several witnesses is in western Whiteside County near Morrison, Sheriff John Booker said in a news release Thursday night.

“We are now aware of multiple sightings of an apparent mountain lion in the rural areas surrounding Morrison,” Booker said.

It’s at least the second big cat to roam the area in the past 10 years

Mountain lions rarely attack humans, and this one does not appear to pose a significant risk to people, Booker said.

“He looks pretty scary on the trail

cam, but we have received absolutely no reports of any threatening encounters with humans,” Booker said.

Mountain lions, or cougars, are protected species, so don’t shoot it unless there is an “imminent threat” to a person or property such as livestock or pets.

Anyone who sees the mountain lion and is concerned for their safety should call the sheriff’s office at 815-772-4044 or 911. Sightings should be reported to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources at https://www.wildlifeillinois.org/ sightings/report.

It’s not the first time a mountain lion has visited the Morrison area, home of Rockwood State Park.

On Nov 20, 2013 (two years before the law protecting the endangered big cats

was passed), IDNR conservation officer

Ron Palumbo shot a cougar that was cornered in a concrete tunnel beneath a corn crib.

In that case, the big male posed a threat to locals and their livestock, as well as to horses on the property it was headed toward when it was spotted.

It was preserved and now is on display at the Andersen Nature Center in Fulton.

The IDNR has some advice for those who encounter a mountain lion:

• Don’t surprise it. Make enough noise to make sure it hears you.

• Don’t run. A cougar isn’t likely to attack a person unless it feels trapped or provoked, or if a person appears to be prey

• If you are in a group, gather together

and move as a group

• Don’t approach it

• If the cougar sees you, stand your ground. Look as large as possible by standing up straight and putting your arms up in the air and slowly backing away. If possible, get inside a building or vehicle.

• If a cougar does attack you, try to fight it off. Throw rocks, use sticks.

• Don’t play dead

For now, though, “we are not aware of any reason why people should stay indoors or act differently Our farmers in rural Morrison may wish to keep a bit of a closer eye on their livestock until he moves on,” Booker said. “Hopefully, he is merely a unique visitor just passing through.”

Equalization of 1.0 means the threeyear average of assessment is one-third of market value.

The multiplier is used to achieve uni form property assessments for taxing bodies usually but not exclusively school districts that overlap more than one county to prevent inequities among taxpapers with comparable properties.

The tentative assessment will change only if there is a successful challenge to the IDNR determination by a county board of review or other effort by local officials.

Fulton scores late to down Forreston 30-28 for NUIC win

By ANDY COBERT For Shaw Media

FORRESTON In a roller coaster of a football game that featured wild lead swings, special teams gaffes, penalties, turnovers and disputed calls, Fulton held on to beat Forreston 30-28 in an NUIC game Friday night.

“We were lucky the clock ran out at the end,” Fulton coach Patrick Lower said. “It wasn’t pretty, and we were fortunate to get out with the win.”

Dom Kramer threw a halfback-option touch down pass to Baylen Damhoff in triple coverage with 3:22 left for the final margin of victory.

“We just put that play in this week,” Kramer said. “I just threw it up and he made the catch.”

The score came on third down, and Forreston coach Keynon Janicke felt the back was in motion and vehemently protested the non-call.

“I was nervous going in,” Damhoff said. “But my coach said I was taller than everyone and to go get the ball.”

Forreston outgained Fulton by 130 yards, but was hurt by numerous miscues, the most serious allowing Conner Sheridan to take a line-drive squib kick 60 yards for a touchdown with 10 sec onds left in the first half.

“We can’t have that,” Janicke said. “We played good enough to have a running clock in the first half, but made too many mistakes. That’s hurt us all year.”

On the strength of two touchdowns by Johnny Kobler and another by Micah Nelson, Forreston recovered from an early turnover to take a 22-3 lead before Sheridan’s score. The Cardinals had 369 yards of total offense.

In the second half, the Steamers put together their most impressive drive, going 63 yards in 14 plays to pull to within 22-16 on a Lukas Schroeder 2-yard touchdown. They converted twice on fourth down during the drive.

Ben Fosdick then had an interception after Ryan Eads blindsided Forreston quarterback Brock Smith. On the next play, it was Brayden Dykstra (12-for-23 passing, 134 yards, intercep tion) finding Damhoff for a 39-yard bomb and 23-22 lead, their first since a Endi Qunaj field goal made it 3-0.

Fulton had a chance to increase the lead after blocking a punt, but a staunch Cardinals defense forced a three-and-out.

That’s where Smith took charge. First it was a 17-yard run and then a 15-yard ramble that caught another 15 yards on a facemask penalty. In what Janicke thought was an inadvertent whistle, Smith broke free and ran untouched into the end zone

“We played with a lot of heart,” Janicke said.

Still, it was a first-and-10 at the 31-yard line, and Smith eventually found the goal line five plays later for a 28-23 Forreston lead midway through the fourth quarter.

“Forreston is so disciplined at what they do,” Lower said.

Erie-Prophetstown steamrolls Bureau Valley behind Grunder’s 232 rushing yards, 4 TDs

By DAN WUSSOW dwussow@shawmedia.com

PROPHETSTOWN It was a tale of two halves Friday night at Mosher Field as 3-3 Erie-Prophetstown hosted 1-5 Bureau Valley in a near-must-win game for the Panthers.

The first half of the Three Rivers Conference crossover matchup was tightly contested, with E-P scoring on the opening drive of the game and both teams going scoreless for the rest of the half.

In the second half, Panthers run ning back Jase Grunder couldn’t be contained as he rushed for more than 150 yards and four touchdowns in a 33-0 victory.

To E-P coach Jesse Abbott, that’s business as usual for his star running back.

“That’s just Jase. That’s just kind of what we come to expect from Jase,” Abbott said. “It’s not anything out of the ordinary. He’s worked so hard to put himself in this position to be this kind of player, and when you get those kinds of stats, it’s a credit to him, it’s a credit to the team as well. But it’s something that we just feel confident in Jase every time he touches the ball that something good’s going to happen.”

Starting the opening drive from its own 42, E-P marched down the field in a few plays A 28-yard Grunder scamper moved the Panthers into the red zone.

On the next play, Demetree Larson dashed up the middle for a 14-yard touchdown. E-P took a 7-0 lead with 10:24 to play in the first quarter.

Penalties plagued the Panthers early as they committed five in the first half alone, with three holds negating

Panthers win title at own invite: Erie-Prophetstown scored 38 points to claim the championship at the Panther Invite at Lake Erie Country Club.

Jillian Norman led the Panthers, taking third place in 21:19.66, and Chloe Slock (23:18.59), Clara Ashdown (23:31.47) and Brooke Lalley (23:38.00) finished 10th, 11th and 12th, respec tively. Isabella Pangrazio rounded out the team score in 29th (25:58.78).

Emma Christin led the Morrison contingent in sixth place (22:12.78), and Marissa Folkers was 26th (25:37.22). Gracelyn Streets Wood was 37th (29:15.41).

three long runs on their third drive.

After three subsequent empty possessions, E-P went into the half leading 7-0. With better technique and disci pline in the second half, the Panthers offense exploded for 26 points.

“We were executing [in the second half]. First half, we had so many little mistakes like holding calls and penal ties,” Grunder said. “We cleaned those up in the second half and just domi nated.”

“We talked at halftime and just challenged them. A lot of our lack of scoring in the first half was mostly just shoot ing ourself in the foot. We had four, five, six big runs that got called back on things that we should be able to fix,” Abbott said “And they fixed it in the

second half. We had maybe a penalty or two in the second half, and on the big plays, we were cleaner. And I think that was just the biggest change.”

After a Bureau Valley three-and-out on its opening drive of the second half, Luke Otten blocked a punt and E-P recovered at the Storm 40. From that point on, the Panthers were rolling

“It was huge. We needed a stop on defense. We got it,” Grunder said of Otten’s blocked punt. “They punted, then we got that block and all of the energy just transferred over to us for the entire second half.”

E-P made quick work with the short field.

A 31-yard Grunder catch-and-run set up the second touchdown; on the

next play, Grunder took it in from 5 yards out, and the Panthers led 13-0 with 5:58 left in the third.

E-P scored again on its next posses sion. A 50-yard Grunder touchdown run down the right sideline put the Panthers ahead 20-0 with 2:24 left in the third quarter.

Bureau Valley’s Robert Novak raced down the sideline for a 45-yard gain on the following drive, but again, E-P’s defense came up big, forcing a turnover on downs on a Franky Bushaw pass breakup in the end zone.

Grunder struck twice more in the fourth quarter. A 70-yard touchdown run up the gut gave E-P a 27-0 lead with 6:47 to play, then a 30-yard score just under the four-minute mark capped the scoring at 33-0.

“It was huge [to win this week],” Grunder said. “We got Mon-Rose [Mon mouth-Roseville] coming up, which will be a tough game, so I knew this was kind of a have-to-win going in.”

Novak rushed 23 times for 122 yards, with a long run of 45 yards to lead Bureau Valley. Isaac Attig caught six passes for 34 yards as the leading Storm receiver.

Grunder finished with 232 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 15 carries, along with one catch for 31 yards Tyler Ballard added 33 yards on eight carries for the Panthers.

“He’s a really, really good player, and he hurt us last year We gameplanned to try to stop him and we didn’t do a good enough job of that,” Bureau Valley coach Mat Pistole said of Grunder “He’s one of the best players in the conference, and he’s tremen dous. Deserves all the accolades he gets.”
