Morrison couple Mitchell and Anna Story take over Rockwood Restaurant and Marina

By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com

MORRISON – More than 15 years ago, when he was still in high school, Mitchell Story of Morrison would spend his summer days working at the Rockwood Restaurant and Marina.

Nestled along the shore of Lake Carlton in Morrison-Rockwood State Park, the cabin-like restaurant for the past five decades has drawn in the fishermen who dot the lake throughout the day, people camping in the state park and motorists or bicyclists who head to the lake to take in the scenery.

Story, who worked as a breakfast cook at the restaurant and in the bait shop, got to know the business quite well during his high school summers when it was operated by Chuck and Mary Norton. Story hoped someday he would be able to operate the restaurant and marina.

“I’ve always loved this place and I always had the dream of coming back out here and taking it over. And finally had the chance to do it,” he said in an interview with Shaw Local News Network.

That is exactly what is happening this week as Story and his wife, Anna, open the doors to the restaurant they have renovated and will operate under a lease with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

They also will run the bait shop below the restaurant, which provides necessities for those who fish off the adjacent docks or drop their boat from the launch, accessible from the restaurant and marina parking lot. Paddleboats, kayaks and canoes can be rented through the bait shop. The shop will have live bait, basic fishing tackle and basic camping necessities for sale.

It’s a big step for the young couple, who have been joined by Mitchell’s father, Lauren Story, as a business partner, but it was a step they had envisioned for years.

Mitchell and Anna both attended Morrison High School. Mitchell graduated in 2009. Anna, who worked as a waitress in the restaurant for one summer season,

graduated in 2010. Anna went on to get a teaching degree. Mitchell became a mail carrier in Clinton, Iowa. Along the way, the couple married and now have a 2-yearold son, Vincent.

After eight years of carrying mail, Mitchell worked in maintenance for the U.S. Postal Service for another four years. Anna became a teacher in the Morrison School District in 2016 and teaches first grade at Northside Elementary School.

Both knew if the opportunity to take over the restaurant and marina ever surfaced, they would make the move. When the restaurant and campground lease opened up for bid earlier this year, the couple decided to pursue it and created a limited liability company. Mitchell attended the required pre-bid meeting, they submitted a bid and were awarded the contract.

Under the agreement, they can operate the facility for five years. They can renew the contract four times for a total of 25 years.

That’s exactly what the couple wants to do. Their commitment to the restaurant and marina runs so deep that Anna suggested Mitchell leave the postal service to devote all his time to it. He took her up on it.

“He’s been talking about this for 15 years, since I’ve known him, and it’s always kind of been in the back of our minds as a dream of ours to run the place,” Anna said.

“I saw the potential in this place and wanted to realize that,” Mitchell said.

Since their winning bid, they have made repairs, deep cleaned the restaurant, painted walls, bought furnishings, tables, chairs, new fixtures and appliances and finalized their full breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.

The couple also have been working in the bait shop, setting it up as Mitchell remembers it from his days working there. They have been busy hiring workers.

“It’s been such a blur these last couple months of trying to get everything ready and ordering equipment and bringing stuff in and getting it set up,” Mitchell

“All the tables and all the chairs, the high chairs, all the dishes, everything had to be found and bought and picked up,” Anna said.

All that’s left is to pass the final restaurant inspection scheduled for this week. The couple’s goal is to have the restaurant open for business on Father’s Day weekend. Breakfast hours will be from 7 to 11 a.m. Lunch and dinner will be served from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. There will be daily specials Tuesday through Saturday, Mitchell said, and there will be a handbreaded catfish filet dinner every Friday.

In the days leading up to opening, the couple will put the final touches in place for customers who will be coming in for full meals, baked goods that Mitchell creates – cookies, scones and muffins – and hand-dipped ice cream in a cone or a dish.

More information will be available on the business’s Facebook page when the couple determine the opening date.

History of the park

Morrison-Rockwood State Park is at 18750 Lake Road, Morrison, and is a popular spot for a family outing at the Lakeview picnic area or watching birds among the hickory, ash, oak and walnut trees, according to the IDNR.

The park, composed of 1,164 acres, was established in 1971 and officially opened for day use that year.

The park is named for the city of Morrison and a combination of nearby Rock Creek and the heavily wooded park area Rockwood.

Lake Carlton, a focal point of the park, is a watershed impoundment constructed in 1969 by building a 38-foot high, 1,800-foot long earthen dam across a stream.

The park can be reached by taking Interstate 88 west to state Route 78. Go north on Illinois 78 through Morrison and follow the signs. On Illinois 78 follow the signs to Damen Road. Follow that road about two miles to Crosby Road. Turn left on Crosby Road, again following the signs, for about 11/2 miles to the park entrance.

Soldier killed in Korean War buried with full military honors

By PAYTON FELIX pfelix@shawmedia.com

ROCK FALLS – The remains of a Rock Falls man who was declared missing in action while fighting in the Korean War nearly 74 years ago were buried with full military honors June 4 at a Rock Falls cemetery.

U.S. Army Cpl. Richard Seloover, who was 17 at the time, went missing in action Sept. 6, 1950.

He was accounted for Jan. 10 after scientists at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency identified his remains. After 74 years in a grave labeled unknown, his remains were returned to Rock Falls on May 30.

Through DNA testing, scientists at the DPAA were able to narrow it down to three possible matches. Out of those three, Seloover was the only one who was 17 at the time that he died, David Rupp, brother-in-law to Seloover, said in an interview with Shaw Local.

Janice Rupp-Fischer, wife of David Rupp, was 5 years old when her brother enlisted in the U.S. Army.

Back in the 1950s, it was common for people to enlist in the military when they were underage. Seloover hated school, she said.

“He was going to join the service and see the world,” Janice said in an inter-

flag that covered her brother Richard Seloover’s casket on Tuesday, June 4.

view with Shaw Local.

Right after he enlisted, the war in Korea broke out. Seloover completed his basic training while on a ship heading to Korea, she said.

On June 4, members of the Region 2 Illinois Patriot Guard Riders, members of Illinois Chapter 2 Rolling Thunder Inc., Rock Falls Fire Department, Rock Falls Police Department and the Illinois State Police gathered at the McDonald

Whiteside County lands $1M public health services grant

By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com

ROCK FALLS – Whiteside County will receive more than $1 million to administer public health services to communities in western Illinois.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Rep. Eric Sorensen of Illinois’ 17th Congressional District announced in a news release June 4 that the county will receive $1,045,348.

“Communities across western Illinois deserve access to affordable and reliable health care,” Sorensen said. “With these critical investments coming to Whiteside County, we are working together to make sure our neighbors, regardless of how much money they make, get the health care they need. In Congress, I will always fight to bring tax dollars back home to support working families.”

HHS awarded the grant as part of its Health Center Cluster program. The Whiteside County Health Department

operates as a Federally Qualified Health Center, which provides services to families of all backgrounds, regardless of their ability to pay.

“As an FQHC, we provide valuable resources with a focus on our most vulnerable populations,” said Cheryl Lee, the Whiteside County Health Department’s public health administrator and chief executive officer. “At Whiteside County Community Health Clinic, we provide medical, dental, behavioral health, medication-assisted treatment, psychiatric and oral surgery services. We will be adding optometry services later this year.”

“It is through the HRSA funding as an FQHC that we are able to provide these services to our community. We are thankful for the opportunity to receive these funds and serve our community,” she said.

Illinois Chapter 2 Rolling Thunder reading a eulogy: “It’s difficult to write a eulogy about someone you don’t know and you’re not from here ... but I’ve commanded troops like his and I know what kind of soldier he was.”

He concluded the eulogy by reciting a quote by U.S. Army General George Patton: “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived.”

Col. Adam Dietrich of Fort Snelling, Minnesota, led troops in a flag-folding ceremony. Military personnel conducted the playing of taps and gave a three-volley salute, which involved a rifle party of four men firing blank cartridges into the air three times.

At 11 a.m., the procession arrived at Coloma Township Cemetery as the national anthem played. The Rock Falls Fire Department had a ladder truck to fly the American flag, a detail of uniformed active-duty military personnel stood in salute and community members gathered to watch.

The service began with a member of

The Region 2 Illinois Patriot Guard Riders presented an honorary plaque to Janice Rupp-Fischer, members of Illinois Chapter 2 Rolling Thunder Inc. presented a frame with military honors to Rupp-Fischer and two veterans of the U.S. Army 2nd Infantry Division paid their respects.

Seloover’s mother died before his remains were identified. She never got over his death and she always blamed herself for it because she was the one who signed the paperwork, Janice said.

“The fact that he is going to be with mom gives me a great sense of peace,” she said.

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.

Chances are you have never heard of a common condition called mast cell activation syndrome. It may be because your medical team has not heard of it. Nonetheless, the condition is far more common than has been recognized and may account for not only many symptoms, but many symptoms that have not been explained to date.

Many with this condition have been labeled psychosomatic and overly sensitive. Indeed, such individuals may feel that way along with the frustration that traditional medicine has not had adequate answers. Many aspects of autism may be explained by this condition.

The mast cell is part of the immune system that has been around for hundreds of thousands of years. Like most measures of the immune system, mast cells are produced in order to protect us. It is when there is an over-expression or activation of the mast cells that people have problems. Those problems may include potentially all expressions of allergic reactions. This includes itching and swelling of the skin, all the way to wheezing and even anaphylaxis or shock. Diarrhea and head-

aches are common. Triggers may include traditional allergies, medications, infections or chemicals such as fragrances. Stress is a common cause, but even exercise and, unfortunately, many foods may cause mast cell activation syndrome.

Mast cell activation syndrome is not to be confused with the rare disease known as mastocytosis. Sometimes a leukemia-like condition may be expressed with this latter rare condition. Mast cell activation syndrome occurs when the mast cells release an overabundance of chemicals into the blood. These chemicals normally may be protective for humans, but when done in excess, they can cause an expression of the above symptoms and more. Histamine is one of the more common chemicals that is released. In reality, there may be hundreds, if not thousands, of related types of chemicals that lead to inflammation and the above symptoms. The condition also may include intestinal issues and low blood pressure, fainting, chronic pain, headaches and abdominal pain.

The diagnosis is rather complicated because there are not many reliable tests for the condition even if it is suspected, which often it is not. If you are suspected

of having this condition, your medical team might diagnose the condition in hindsight based on the unexplained symptoms. Sometimes levels of tryptase or histamine may be excessive in the blood. Most often a trial of treatment by antihistamines helps to suppress the condition. There are two types of antihistamines. The first is antihistamine one, which is the general environmental allergies category. Benadryl and hydroxyzine are older agents that help to block this.

Many specialists prefer to use newer-generation antihistamines such as Zyrtec or Claritin because these are far less sedating. They also impact the central nervous system less in terms of negative side effects. However, hydroxyzine is still favored by many clinicians because it is well tolerated and because it can cross the blood-brain barrier. It also may help with sleep. Another histamine mainly is confined to the gut and is known as H2 histamine. This is blocked by medicines such as Zantac or ranitidine or Pepcid or famotidine, etc.

Sometimes higher-than-normal doses of these medicines may be used by the experienced clinician. The patient needs to exercise precautions though

before they take on the higher-than-normal dosages. This needs to be done under the guidance of your clinician.

Nutrition plays an incredible role with this condition, as one might expect, given that foods can cause the release of histamine. Molds are particularly common triggers. The air we breathe also is a common trigger. Stress may be a common trigger. The complexity of this condition may take many years to recognize and many years to effectively treat. As with most conditions, avoidance of the potentially offending agents is the most helpful. In most cases of mast cell activation syndrome, no amount of medicine may overcome the condition unless the triggers have been minimized.

Many who treat this begin by putting patients on an H1blocker such as Zyrtec and an H2 blocker such as Pepcid. They often will add low-dose Naltrexone, which is best prepared by a compounding pharmacist. Compounded bismuth is used by some. Korean red ginseng has been found to be beneficial. DAO enzymes and bile ox acid supplements may help. Many feel Motegrity compares with Naltrexone. Iberogast is a product that helps move food and its breakdowns through the intestinal tract.

CITY OF MORRISON, ILLINOIS

Water Department - IL1950350 Water Quality Report

For the period of January 1 to December 31, 2023

In 2023, as in years past, your tap water met all USEPA and state drinking water health standards. Our system vigilantly safeguards its groundwater supply, and we are able to report that the department had no violations of a contaminant level or of any other water quality standard during the past year. This report summarizes the quality of water that we provided last year, including details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. We are committed to providing you with this information because informed customers are our best allies. We invite you to participate in the decision-making processes that affect drinking water quality. Please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled City Council meetings which are held at 6:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the Morrison Community Room located at 307 S. Madison Street. The City of Morrison Water Department will notify you immediately if there is any reason for concern about your drinking water.

This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the City of Morrison Water Department to provide safe drinking water for our residents.The source of drinking water used by the City of Morrison is Ground Water.

For more information regarding this report, contact:

Name: Brian Melton or Shane Osborn

Phone: 815-772-7657

Este informe contiene información muy importante sobre el agua que usted bebe. Tradúzcalo ó hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

Source of Drinking Water

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and groundwater wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it can dissolve naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. USEPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800) 426-4791.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

• Micro contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife;

• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which may be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming;

• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses;

• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and may also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

• Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Availability of Morrison Source Water Assessment

Below is a summary of the IEPA source water assessment of Morrison’s water system. The full report is available for viewing at City Hall.

Source Water Assessment

Based on information obtained from sampling data, the location of the wells relative to potential sources of contamination, and well depth, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Morrison Community Water Supply’s source water is not susceptible to contamination. As referenced above, this determination is based on a number of criteria including; monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and available hydrogeologic data on the wells.

The Illinois EPA has determined that the Morrison Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process; the community’s wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper sitting conditions; a hydraulic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community’s wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics were not considered a significant factor in the susceptibility determination. Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this system ground water supply.

Source Water:

Well 4 (11910) Groundwater Well - Next to water tower in Kelly Park (north side)

Well 5 (01855) Groundwater Well - Next to French Creek Park at the end of Ash Avenue (south side)

Source Water Protection Efforts

The Illinois Environmental Protection Act provided minimum protection zones of 200 feet for your wells. These minimum protection zones are regulated by the Illinois EPA. To further reduce the risk to source water, the Facility has implemented a wellhead protection program which includes the proper abandonment of potential routes of groundwater contamination and correction of sanitary defects at the water treatment facility. This effort resulted in the community water supply receiving a special exception permit from the Illinois EPA which allows a reduction in monitoring. The outcome of this monitoring reduction has saved the community considerable laboratory analysis costs.

Vulnerability waiver

Due to favorable monitoring history, aquifer characteristics, and inventory of potential sources of contamination, our water supply was issued a vulnerability waiver renewal for SOCs at Tap2 – Well number 11910 (Well #4). No monitoring for SOCs were required, between January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2023.

Water Quality Data

- Definition of Terms –

Action Level Goal (ALG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. ALGs allow for a margin of safety.

Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.

Avg.: Regulatory compliance with some MCLs is based on running annual average of monthly samples

Level 1 Assessment: A Level 1 assessment is a study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system.

Level 2 Assessment: A Level 2 assessment is a very detailed study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why an E. coli MCL violation has occurred and/or why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system on multiple occasions.

Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

Continued from previous page

Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

n/a: Not Applicable

mrem: millirems per year (a measure of radiation absorbed by the body)

ppb: micrograms per liter or parts per billion – or one ounce in 7,350,000 gallons of water.

ppm: milligrams per liter or parts per million – or one ounce in 7,350 gallons of water.

Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Distribution

Lead and Copper

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We are responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but we cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at https://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Water Quality Data Table Footnotes

Triennial or Less Frequent Monitoring Footnote

The state requires us to monitor certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though accurate, is more than one year old.

GROSS ALPHA (pCi/L)

The MCL for Alpha emitters is 15 pCi/L. Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Some people who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

COMBINED RADIUM (pCi/L)

The MCL for Combined Radium is 5 pCi/L. Some people who drink water containing radium 226 or 228 in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Continued on next page

Continued from previous page

IRON

This contaminant is not currently regulated by USEPA. However, the state has set and MCL for this contaminant for supplies serving a population of 1000 or more.

SODIUM

There is not a state or federal MCL for sodium. Monitoring is required to provide information to consumers and health officials that are concerned about sodium intake due to dietary precautions. If the level is greater than 20 mg/I, and you are on a sodium-restricted diet, you should consult a physician about this level of sodium in the water.

About the Data

An MCL is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. If a facility exceeds the MCL, the facility must immediately investigate treatment options to reduce the level of the contaminant in the water supply. MCL’s are first based on a Reference Dose (RfD) which carries a very low risk of causing adverse health effects. The RfD is obtained by taking the maximum daily dose of a toxic substance that does not produce any observable adverse health effects. This no-observable-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) dosage is divided by safety factors (SF), to obtain the reference dose. Regulatory agencies generally use safety factor values of between 10 to 1,000.

*Non-Regulated Contaminants – Lithium

A maximum contaminant level (MCL) for this contaminant has not been established by either state or federal regulations, nor has mandatory health effects language been set. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist USEPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted.

What this Table Means

As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We are proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State Requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some constituents have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water is SAFE at these levels. We, at the Morrison Water Department, work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future.

The Ancestor Project

As one of the final projects of the year, seventh graders at Erie Middle School were challenged to pick an ancestor or someone else that they could research and learn more about in order to write a story telling about their life. Students conducted interviews with family members and some were able to gather additional resources and pictures to help tell their story. While there were many great stories written, not all will be published.

This project was a collaborative effort between students’ history classes with Mrs. Kruthoff and Mr. Armstrong, English class with Mrs. Wolf and their families. (It was inspired by the original project that longtime English teacher Mrs. Wiersema made a tradition in her eighth grade class).

Students enjoyed getting to know more about their families and many were surprised to learn how interesting their families were. We hope you will enjoy their stories, too!

Stephen Francis Ryan

By Reese Ryan

Have you ever wondered what it’s like having the coolest grandpa in the world? Well, I do. Most of his childhood was spent with his family. In his adult years, he started a family in his early 20s. He now enjoys his retirement spending time in his workshop. Stephen Francis Ryan is the best grandpa because he grew up having fun, had the best family, lives life freely and I now get to be a lucky granddaughter.

His full name is Stephen Francis Ryan. He was born on June 23, 1948, in Moline, Illinois. His parents are Raymond and Marie (Dillion) Ryan. He had six sisters and three brothers.

So all together his parents had 10 kids. All of them are alive and well. By all means, I think that is a lot of kids. I don’t think that I could ever handle that many, so props to his parents. His favorite memory as a child was selling Christmas cards. Another favorite memory as a child was getting a bicycle.

He also went to Erie Elementary and Erie Middle School like me. Stephen went on to graduate high school in 1966. He has lived in the Erie area all of his life. He did some sports such as baseball, ran track and was the first Erie wrestler. That is crazy to think of. One of his favorite things to do as a kid was going to the movies on Saturday night in Erie. He also loved going bowling for fun. As a young boy, he did Boy Scouts. One time he went canoeing from the Black Hawk statue to Erie. That is a lot of canoeing.

Stephen married my beautiful grandmother Ann (Dale) Ryan. I am glad that she came into his life. She was one of the best things that came into his life. They got married at the age of 23 years old. That was the only woman he ever married and will forever be the only woman he marries. They have two wonderful children. The oldest one is Shawn Carson Ryan and the youngest one is Shane Arlyn Ryan. Stephen was very hardworking. Stephen worked at John Deere, Erie Casing Plant, and he was a union carpenter. Stephen also was in the U.S. Army. He served in Germany. He went in September 1966 and got out in August 1969. One of his favorite vacations was going to see his uncle Joe. Another favorite vacation was going swimming at Crystal Lake. There was that big flood where they had to get on a boat at the Catholic church and go down River road to get to their house. They rode the boat all the way up to their porch. They had

pigs, so they had to put them in the barn off the ground. After awhile, they got horses and would go trail riding all of the time. Stephen didn’t have much more animals beside that. Additionally, the whole family would go camping with friends and other family. He also did a lot of hunting and fishing. I would say that he is a very outdoorsy kind of person. He went to Colorado to go elk hunting as well. Stephen got a grand slam for turkeys. In other words, that is when you shoot all kinds of turkeys. I think that is crazy! He is a big [Dallas] Cowboys fan. In 1960, he went to a game. He is so lucky! Throughout Stephen’s life, he lived in five homes. Stephen’s greatest achievement was making this beautiful family that he has. His lifelong friend was Gray Willison. They would go hunting and travel together. He was from Ohio, but sadly he passed away. Stephen spends his free time doing yard work and working for my dad, which is the same thing as saying he works for Cardinal Custom Builder. His advice for the younger generations is “Live life one day at a time and always have a smile on your face.” His retirement was from Local 166 Carpenters in 2008. Stephen loves working in his workshop. He makes a lot of stuff for his grandkids. He built a lot of stuff that is in my house. One thing he made was grandpa boxes for all of the grandkids. Stephen and Ann have seven grandkids – five girls and two boys. The grandkids’ names are Kali (Schroeder) Ubersox, Bekah Ryan, Hannah Ryan, Dane Ryan, Hailey Ryan, Reese Ryan and lastly Hudson Ryan. He is a member of the National Wild Turkey Federation. He takes his younger grandkids every year. He is nicknamed Watermelon. One time a kid couldn’t remember his name, so he would say watermelon, water-

melon, watermelon rhyme and that would make him think of Ryan, so a lot of people call him that. In my opinion, I think that Stephen makes the best vegetable soup in the whole wide world. He also loves to watch a lot of sports. Some of his favorite things to watch are NASCAR, which is more like nap car for him, football, basketball, baseball and lastly softball. I learned a lot more about Stephen. I see things a lot differently now. I feel like I could tell the whole story about his life without reading the paper. It made me feel like I was a part of him. The lesson that I learned from this was that it is important to hang out with your grandparents. I feel like I know him very differently now. I have learned some good lessons for what not to do. He did some things as a child that I would definitely not do now.

He also gave some good advice. I really enjoyed this project. I learned a lot of what life was like when he was younger and got to see what kind of things he did. His younger life seemed fun because he got to live life without electronics, which I miss being younger and not being on a phone. I am the most lucky granddaughter to live on this planet. To have a grandpa like this is like a wish come true.

To sum up all of this information, do you believe that my grandpa is the best grandpa? He just lived life to the fullest and didn’t have a care in the world. Even though he went through a lot of obstacles, he still just had fun. Although he is becoming older, he takes one day at a time. I just learned so much more about my grandpa. It made me feel closer to him. After all, in my opinion, I think that they should keep the project going. It makes you learn so much more about your family history. I would write another paper in my future if it was like this.
