Strada Communications, a fiber optic internet service provider based out of Rapids City, will be bringing a fiber network to Lyndon, the board learned at their Feb. 8 meeting. StradaComm co-owner Scott Searl and Infrastructure Specialist Doug Reiman gave a presentation on the veteran-owned company’s history and work in Rapids City, Port Byron and the Riverdale School District. They’re currently in the process of building a fiber network in Erie, with Lyndon and eventually Prophetstown next in line. The Lyndon infrastructure build is expected to begin by the fall. The company estimates a $2.8 million investment in Lyndon’s underground fiber optic infrastructure. They recently were awarded a $5 million Connect Illinois grant to support broadband infrastructure builds in Whiteside and Rock Island counties. Fiber optics is a communication line made of glass – and slightly larger than a human hair – which allows the transmission of data to travel at the speed of light. It provides a faster and more reliable service than that of the traditional, outdated cop-

StradaComm, founded in 2017, was the first company in Illinois to use AFL spider fiber, and their use of a “future path conduit system” put them on the map. Each household or business is assigned their own continuous dedicated fiber back to the

data center in Rapids City, in addition to their own port. This allows for growth if there’s a need for faster speed, though customers’ speeds don’t slow down if more users go online. From surfing the web, streaming TV, running security cameras, enabling Wi-Fi and more, a fiber optic system is built for high usage and growth, with reliable and high-speed fiber internet for all budgets, and business and residential plans available. The underground installation ensures no internet interruptions due to weather, with one central equipment cabinet to be installed in the village. There are no installation fees, data caps, or contracts for the service, with military and veteran discounts available. Additional information can be found at stradacomm.com or by calling 309-496-3737. In other action, the board approved purchasing 18 new water meters for $2,880 to replace older models, and approved a $200 donation to the Lyndon Veterans’ Memorial Ride fundraiser. They learned that Asplundh Tree Service and ComEd will be removing seven trees throughout the village. John Wright informed the board that the annual Wright’s Egg Hunt is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, April 16, following two years off due to COVID-19.

Grama’s Healing Porch closes Prophetstown location By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Grama’s Healing Porch, a holistic and metaphysical shop in downtown Prophetstown, closed its doors last week, with owner Karla Wetzell citing COVID-19, rising costs and economic challenges. The shop opened on Washington Street in February 2020 with a selection of crystals, herbs, jewelry, oils, home décor, salt lamps and more. Wetzell also offered work-

shops, classes and online readings and remained open throughout the past two years, despite all the challenges. “I loved my shop, but it is what it is,” Wetzell said. “It’s with a heavy heart that I’m closing Grama’s.” Wetzell said she’ll be consolidating her inventory with her sister’s shop, Gramma’s SaltZ and More, 1510 Prophetstown Road in Rock Falls. She expects to have everything set up at the new location by midMarch, where she’ll be working as well.

MORRISON

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Clinton Symphony Orchestra returned to Morrison High School’s auditorium on Saturday, Feb. 19, treating guests to “A Symphonic Menagerie” during the first of its kind afternoon performance for the annual concert. Organizers wanted to account for the unpredictable winter weather and draw in more children and were able to do both by moving the evening performance to an earlier time. They set a record with 47 children in attendance, more than double from previous performances. The Clinton Symphony Orchestra Association aims to bring the concert experience to a younger generation, while ensuring safe travel to all who wish to attend, calling the Sunday afternoon concert an “experiment.” The symphonic performance was organized by director and conductor Brian Dollinger and featured selections with animal themes, much to the delight of the children and adults in the audience. The concert included “The Thieving Magpie,” a waltz from “Swan Lake,” Leroy Anderson’s “The Waltzing Cat,” the “Flight of the Bumblebee,” and “Carnival of the Animals” by French composer Camille Saint-Saens, complete with duo pianos. Cellist Keegan Roddy, a Sterling High School senior, was the featured performer as the winner of the Clinton Symphony Orchestra’s 2022 Young Artist Auditions. She performed the third movement of “Cello Concerto No. 1” by Saint-Saens while accom-

How to determine if it’s time to downsize

Shaw Media / ShawLocal.com • Tuesday, Feb 22, 2022

Individuals work hard to save enough money to purchase their homes. And the hard work doesn’t end there. Once homeowners settle into a new home, they may set their sights on renovations that suit their individual needs. And even when buyers ﬁnd a home that needs no such work, maintenance requires homeowners’ utmost attention. All that hard work is perhaps one reason why seniors may be a little reluctant to downsize as they advance through their golden years. In addition to the sweat equity homeowners put into their homes, all the memories they’ve made within their walls can make it harder to put a home on the market. Downsizing is a difﬁcult decision that’s unique to each homeowner. Seniors who aren’t quite certain if downsizing is right for them can consider three key factors to make a decision that’s in their best interests.

COST: Perhaps no variable affects senior homeowners’ decisions to downsize their homes as much as cost. No one wants to outlive their money, and downsizing to a smaller home can help seniors reduce their monthly expenses by a signiﬁcant margin. Even homeowners who have long since paid off their mortgages can save substantial amounts of money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment or condominium. Lower property taxes, reduced insurance premiums and the need to pay for fewer repairs are just some of the ways downsizing can save seniors money.

SPACE: Many people love the extra space that single-family homes provide. But seniors can take a walk through their homes and see how many rooms they still use on a consistent basis. If much of the home is unused, seniors can probably downsize without adversely affecting their daily lives.

MARKET: The real estate market is another factor to consider when deciding if the time is right to downsize. A seller’s market can help seniors get the biggest return on their real estate investment, potentially helping them make up for meager retirement savings. For example, home prices skyrocketed across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic, making that a great time for sellers to put their homes on the market. Seniors selling to downsize may capitalize on such spikes since they won’t be looking to turn around and buy larger, equally expensive homes once they sell their current place. If the market is down and seniors can withstand the work and cost a little longer, it may be best to wait until things bounce back in sellers’ favor.

Explaining Wills & Trusts

It’s never too early for adults to think about estate planning. Estate planning is an important part of money management. While it’s easy to think of estate planning as just a way to dictate how your assets are allocated after your death, estate planning also can protect people and their money should accidents or injury make them incapable of managing their ﬁnances on their own. Some familiar terms may come up when people begin planning how they hope to transfer their assets. Two more common terms are wills and trusts. Understanding the distinctions between the two can help people as they begin estate planning.

What is a will?

The online ﬁnancial resource Investopedia notes that wills are legally enforceable documents that dictate how people want their affairs handled and assets allocated in the wake of their deaths. Wills should include a host of information, including who a person wants to assume guardianship of their minor-aged children should they pass away. This is especially important information to include in a will, as surviving relatives may have to go to court to contest guardianship if parents do not dictate who they want to serve as guardians in their wills.

What is a trust?

A trust is a relationship in which another party is given authority to handle a person’s assets for the beneﬁt of that person’s beneﬁciaries. When making a trust, a person will need to designate someone as a trustee, who will be tasked with distributing assets in accordance to the terms dictated in the trust. There are many types of trusts, and working with an attorney who specializes in estate planning can help men and P>97;) 8#B8 )6);M8#!>% M=746) 9<)>8 B women determine which type of trust, if any, is best for them.

Is it better to have a will or a trust?

Both wills and trusts can be useful when estate planning. In fact, wills are often used to establish trusts, and many people have both a will and a trust. Estate planning is an important part of managing one’s ﬁnances. A qualiﬁed attorney who specializes in estate planning can help people write their wills and, if necessary, establish trusts that can help surviving loved ones in the wake of their death.

Fenton middle schooler shares Space Camp experience from last summer Carter Shepherd, 12, of Fenton graduated from the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, last summer. The weeklong program promotes science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) while training students with hands-on activities and missions based on teamwork, leadership and problem-solving. Carter, a sixth grader at Erie Middle School, served as a scientist on the ISS (International Space Station) with Team Cepheus, selected by his crew leader. Carter enjoyed everything about Space Camp, and he loved the Moonshot ride the most. The crew participated in experiments and successfully completed an extra-vehicular activity, or spacewalk. Space Camp uses astronaut training techniques to engage trainees in real-world applications of STEM subjects. Students sleep in quarters designed to resemble the ISS and train in simulators like those used by NASA. Carter met a retired astronaut, Matt Mason, who

helped build the ISS and told the campers about his missions. Carter also learned about upcoming missions that NASA is working to complete. Carter was incredibly thankful for the opportunity to represent Erie Middle School and the state of Illinois at Space Camp, while joining the ranks of the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Space Camp alumni. Besides STEM education, Carter enjoys football, baseball and Boy Scouts. His souvenirs from the adventure include a certificate, latches, pin, photos and a rocket launcher. Space Camp is designed for those with an interest in space exploration. Almost one million trainees have graduated from a Space Camp program since its inception in 1982. According to the organization, children and teachers from all 50 states and almost 150 international locations have attended a Space Camp program. The Rocket Center is a Smithsonian Affiliate and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center’s Official Visitor Center.

Sportsman’s banquet is Saturday THOMSON – The Sportsman’s Banquet will be Saturday, Feb. 26, at Majestic Pines in Thomson. Organizers are raising money for local conservation activities. The midwinter Sportsman’s Banquet is hosted by the Mississippi Flyway chapter of Waterfowl USA and is aimed at returning the money raised to local wetland conservation. This year’s banquet will have items of interest for deer hunters, duck hunters and coyote hunters. The chapter encourages hunting families to attend the banquet and sets up games for children to play to win items. A raffle also will take place. “Hunting families will enjoy the banquet as kids will receive decoys and a chance to win hunting guns,” volunteer Ron Kaufman said. “What drives the banquet is the members themselves. Many generous sportsmen and members of the conservation group donated extra toward the kids raffles. As many as seven youth guns will be awarded to young hunt-

ers on Saturday night. Also, the very young will get a chance to win BB guns.” Adam Johnson from Miles, Iowa, has volunteered to run the auction during the event. Wildlife art, barn wood art, figurines, decorative decoys and sporting goods will be sold. A black lab female pup from Barn Ridge Kennel will be on Johnson’s list to sell at the banquet. “The AKC lab will make someone a pet and hunter and comes from good bloodlines,” Kaufman said. “To welcome our guests, Eric Engaldo will serve as the emcee for the event. Eric is a fellow waterfowler and will add a lot of excitement to the night.” Banquet doors open at 5 p.m., and organizers have lowered the price this year to help keep the banquet affordable,” Kaufman said.

YOUR HEALTH

The diagnosis and treatment of pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis is examined By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Pancreatitis is an occasional occurring condition that can mimic other intestinal conditions, and because it is generally less frequently encountered, it may be attributed to other conditions. The symptoms are typically severe abdominal pain often radiating to the back, nausea, vomiting, bloating and decreased appetite. In more advanced cases, the heart rate and respiratory rates are increased. During the physical examination, there is usually tenderness in the upper part of the abdomen and may mimic ulcer disease and gallbladder disease, and in fact, often coexist with these diseases. Because many doctors train at certain types of medical centers, they may be biased to think alcohol is the most common cause of acute pancreatitis. It is a common cause, but the most common cause is gallstones getting into the common duct and irritating the head of the pancreas. Other causes include markedly elevated triglycerides, mumps, extremely high calcium and scope procedures known as ERCP. The condition also may be

seen in pregnancy as it relates to the triglycerides in some women. Rare conditions include autoimmune pancreatitis, which is a condition in which the body’s immune system overresponds and attacks organs. Occasionally medicines may contribute to the condition although these are not common. Nonetheless, they do occur with some commonly used diuretics such as furosemide or Lasix, hydrochlorothiazide, etc. Also, certain seizure medicines and chemotherapy agents are sometimes involved. There is a genetic component for some people, as well. The diagnosis may be difficult, especially initially, but is considered when there is severe abdominal pain that does not respond or mimic the other more common conditions. Blood tests such as serum amylase or lipase may be ordered and imaging studies such as ultrasounds or CAT scans. There are some conditions associated with a better or worse prognosis depending on what side of the line one falls on. In someone older than 55, there is a worse prognosis or a markedly elevated white blood cell count or elevated blood sugar along with

elevated liver enzymes. After a time period of fallen hematocrit, or what is commonly reflected in the iron count, a rise in certain other kidney functions, a drop in calcium, or a drop in oxygen also are unfavorable signs. Complications of the condition can include shock, dehydration, pneumonia and even death. Treatment is aimed at keeping the gut at rest and providing adequate pain relief. Co-existing conditions such as acid peptic disease are treated along with gallstones, etc., if present. When one begins eating, dietary fat is restricted. In the acute phase, an NG tube, which is put through the nose into the gut, is sometimes employed to theoretically lessen the irritation coming from the gut. This is a time-honored treatment, although not largely proved. Unfortunately, when all appropriate measures are applied, some people will continue to have repeated bouts of the condition. Chronic pancreatitis is separate from the above as it is a longstanding inflammation of the pancreas that alters its function. This often leads to malabsorption of certain food products such as fats, which may contrib-

ute to a foul smelling diarrhea and frequent nausea. Diabetes is often seen in complication due to the lack of enzymes normally manufactured by the pancreas that work to control diabetes. Some patients may feel very sick, while others manage simply by enzyme replacement. Weight loss is common. About two-thirds of the cases are caused by chronic alcohol though other causes contribute, as well. Even anti-inflammatory agents such as Motrin, Aleve and steroids have sometimes been invoked as causes. A common source for children is cystic fibrosis. In other parts of the world, the protein energy malnutrition is a common cause. In chronic pancreatitis, the above studies amylase and lipase may not be elevated. Certain tests such as secretin stimulation, certain stool measurements and serum trypsinogen may be employed. The treatment of chronic pancreatitis is to replace the enzymes that are missing from the normal function of the pancreas. Unfortunately, this may not change the pain reduction. In more extreme case, surgery may be involved.

ecarifio@shawmedia.com CHAMPAIGN – Riverdale had two state champions at the Class 1A IHSA state wrestling tournament Feb. 19. Brock Smith won the 132-pound state title with a 2-1 win in a tiebreaker (double OT) over Dakota’s TJ Silva. Collin Altensey won the 152-pound state title with a 6-1 win over Stillman Valley’s Jack Seacrist. Alex Watson finished fifth at 160 pounds with a 9-0 win over Murphysboro’s Dayton Hoffman. “I’m really stoked,” Altensey said. “I came in knowing I could do it but I wanted to take each match one at a time. It worked out. I knew he was going to come hard to the head and pound my head. I just wanted to go underneath and it worked.” The win made for a perfect season for Altensey. “I went 47-0. That’s always good,” Altensey said. “I couldn’t have done it without my coaches and teammates. I came into this tournament not thinking about my record. If you’re worried about that, you’re going to take people for granted.” Smith also was thrilled with his

I’m blessed,” Smith said. “Everybody has helped me get this far and believed in me and I pulled it off. Gritty match,

man. It was the longest match this year. And I haven’t practiced at all this week. I was sick, had strep. It’s all just built me up, made me stronger.” He said the key to avoiding a take-

down in the final overtime was to keep his focus. “Just keep wrestling,” Smith said. “All the last couple weeks have been is a lot of effort. I put a lot of effort in and I got it.” Among other area competitors, Polo had a pair of medalists with Wyatt Doty taking third at 126 and Daniel Engel sixth at 285. Erie-Prophetstown’s Jase Grunder was fourth at 145, and Fulton’s Zane Pannell was fifth at 170. “We brought two and they were both top six. I’m so happy,” Polo coach Jesse Culbertson said. “A lot of people see these kids out here and think it’s so individual. But with their practice partners pushing them and the kids in the room, it’s a team sport. A lot of people don’t realize that.” Doty, an Eastland junior, won his third-place match with a late takedown against Carson Bissey of Richland County, holding on for the 4-2 win. “I knew I got to go, keep pushing him,” Doty said. “He was pushing me. We were going at it. I secured my sweep, got the two. Then I knew I had to hold him down, just 10 more seconds.”

Erie-Prophetstown’s Jase Grunder faces off against Lena Winslow’s Garrett Luke in the Class 1A 145-pound semifinals.

• STATE WRESTLING

We weren’t able to get a good shot on him. “I know his dream would have been higher. He lost a heartbreaker last night, 1-0. Hopefully he remembers this next year; it’s a feeling he doesn’t want to have.” Pannell had a pin in his fifth-place match in the third period against LeRoy’s Tyson Brent. In the consolation semifinal, he lost a 17-15 shootout to Canton’s Joseph Norton.

Engel was pinned late in his fifthplace match, taking sixth. “Earlier in the season I was out for a month and a half with COVID,” Engel said. “I felt like I could have had my cardio up a little better.” Pauses due to COVID-19 mitigations were common for many schools.

Erie-Prophetstown coach Tod McCullough said he was impressed with how his team pushed through multiple coronavirus pauses this year. Erie qualified three wrestlers, with Grunder taking fourth at 145 after a 6-2 loss to Harvard’s Ivan Rosas. “It’s not the performance he wanted,” McCullough said. “He had a good performance last round. We thought his emotions would be up. But the kid controlled the pace a little bit.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: EASTLAND 50, MORRISON 39

By DAN WUSSOW

dwussow@shawmedia.com

The Eastland girls basketball team knocked off Morrison 50-39 Feb. 15 in Lanark to advance to the Class 1A Eastland Regional final against Galena. Galena ended Eastland’s season with a 47-32 win Feb. 17. Against Morrison, Eastland got momentum on its side midway through the first quarter with a 7-0 scoring run. Morrison shook off the slow start, using a 6-2 run in the final 2:30 to cut the margin to 13-10 at the end of the first quarter. Jordan Eads and Camryn Veltrop scored back-to-back baskets in the final minute to complete the run. Early in the second quarter, the Fillies continued to apply pressure. About 35 seconds in, Diana Robbins drove from the right wing into the right side of the lane, looping around a crowd on her way to a layup. The shot made it a onepoint game at 13-12. Eastland was able to widen its lead to 18-12, but Morrison fought its way back to within 18-16 with a Robbins giveand-go layup in the middle of lane that was assisted by Shelby Veltrop. Morrison later closed the deficit to 21-18 after

In the last 1:01 of the first half, the Cougars stretched their lead to seven points, pulling ahead 25-20. In the third quarter, Morrison chipped away at the deficit until it took a 33-32 lead with about 2:20 to play. Eads hit a top of the key 3-pointer with about

three minutes left to pull Morrison to within 32-31. Shelby Veltrop got a steal moments later, the Fillies set up their half-court offense, and Camryn Veltrop scored the go-ahead basket off the glass from the left side of the lane. “In the first half, our defense was probably killing us the most,” Shelby

Veltrop said. “They had two girls that were hurting us pretty bad, so we switched our defense and we got our defense a little bit better. And then we ran our offense better, too, so I think that helped.” Eastland was able to get the lead back at 37-34 by the end of the third quarter, but Morrison wasn’t backing down. For most of the fourth quarter, the game was tightly contested. The Cougars got some energy around the 3:50 mark, extending the lead to 41-34, but Morrison answered quickly. With 3:33 remaining, Robbins hit a free throw and Shelby Veltrop put back the missed second shot, drew a foul and completed the three-point play to cut Eastland’s lead to just four points at 41-37. Over the final two minutes, however, the Fillies got in foul trouble and gave up two backbreaking offensive rebounds. Morrison was led by Shelby Veltrop with 13 points, three rebounds, three blocks and three assists. Eads had 11 points and two rebounds. Robbins tallied eight points for the Fillies, while Camryn Veltrop pitched in six points and six rebounds.

REGIONAL ACTION

Riverdale board approves bids for summer projects By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Riverdale Board of Education held a brief meeting Thursday, Feb. 17, to approve bids for three summer projects. Superintendent Josh Temple wanted to ensure materials get ordered and delivered on time, especially with concerns about supply chain issues. “We hope to get these projects finished this summer and not carry over into the school year,” he said. The board approved bids for HVAC installation at the elementary school, corridor ceiling replacement at the high school and roofing replacement for sections above the kitchen at the high school and above the co-wing at the elementary. The lowest bid of two for the HVAC and corridor was Loescher Heating & Air Conditioning of Freeport. The elementary project will replace a 1960s boiler with new heating and cooling rooftop units. Temple said if the current boiler

goes out, the building will be without heat. Contractors will keep the boiler active until the new system is ready to be swapped out. The high school corridor project consists of replacing the 2x4 ceiling tiles with 2x2 tiles and installing LED lighting. The total cost for the HVAC and corridor projects is $801,600. Temple said $596,625 of the funds will come from ESSER II and a matching $50,000 maintenance grant, leaving the district about $200,000 left to cover. The lowest of four roofing bids was Economy Roofing of Bettendorf, Iowa, at $200,224. The company has done previous work at the school, Temple said. The high school will be completed first, as the elementary wing has a concrete deck and would be less disruptive if the project was delayed into the school year. Total costs for all summer projects were estimated at $1,025,930, with the district to cover $429,306. The board unanimously approved the bids, with the hopes of meeting the summer timeline.
