Fresh, nutritious, easy access: Mini food centers installed to address food insecurity in 4-county area
By EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@shawmedia.com
OREGON – In an effort to provide free, fresh and nutritious food on a 24/7 basis, mini food centers now grace four counties in the Sauk Valley.
The centers, located in Ogle, Lee, Whiteside and Carroll counties, have been made possible through an initiative by the Ogle County Health Department and funded by a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.
Ogle County grant coordinator Joyce Lewis said the Oregon community has embraced the project.
“The community has been great and wanting to help us out,” Lewis said. “The response has been more than we could have imagined. We are hoping they are helping those in need. The outpouring of support has been astronomical.”
She hopes the mini food centers will help educate residents about food insecurities and help everyone achieve healthier eating options.
“Yes, food insecurity is here,” she said. “This is a new concept for rural areas.”
The mini food centers are designed to help increase food nutrition security with funding from the CDC. That means providing easy access to fresh, nutritional foods in an effort to improve overall nutrition and health to those living in underserved areas.
“Food pantries are great, but they are only open limited hours,” Lewis said. “The mini food centers are open 24/7. You can come and take what you need and leave what you can.”
The grant will provide $500,000 for the next three years, Lewis said.
Sauk Valley Food Bank is supplying the centers with produce through September, but donations also are accepted. Donated produce must be washed before being placed in the mini food centers.
“We don’t want anything put in the fridge with debris,” Lewis said. “We stop frequently to clean and sanitize and our hosting centers are checking daily.”
Nonperishable food items also are accepted but must be unopened. All donated food must be labeled with all ingredients to avoid any allergens. Homemade prepared foods and leftovers are not accepted.
In addition to produce, the mini food centers contain the usual food staples: milk, bread and butter.
“Hopefully people will only take what they need if they are truly in
need,” Lewis said.
Signs are posted at the mini food centers to remind users of all the rules.
The grant was written for the fourcounty area because of similar needs in each county.
“This isn’t just for Ogle County. There may be a grocery store in the area, but prices are higher and there are all kinds of other issues. We are trying to bridge that gap,” Lewis said.
“In 2022, the Ogle County Health Department was awarded a grant through the CDC to address social determinants of health, specifically food and nutrition security throughout Lee, Ogle, Carroll and Whiteside counties,” according to the health department’s website. “The health department has teamed up with many other local organizations and conducted many assessments and collected data to create a cohesive plan.”
Ogle County’s mini food center is located on the south side of the Nash Recreational Center, 304 S. Fifth St. in Oregon. Lee County’s is located in Amboy at Teen Turf, 235 W. Main St. Whiteside County’s is at the YWCA of the Sauk Valley, 412 First Ave., Sterling. Carroll County’s is at the Davis Community Center, 631 S. East St.,
Lewis said the mini food centers are one step to increase nutrition education and teach community members about how nutrition affects chronic disease rates.
The Ogle County Health Department partnered with other local health departments, community hospitals and educators to engage with the community and create the plan, she said.
“We have a great group of people,” Lewis said.
So far, the mini food centers have been well-received.
“Overall, everyone has been

extremely respectful and [has] really been embracing the project,” Lewis said.
The mini food centers are lighted but not under any type of camera surveillance.
“We want people to feel comfortable,” Lewis said.
The health department asked students from the Oregon High School ag construction class to build the mini food centers.
Ag teacher Seth McMillan said 19 students constructed the centers in two to three months.

No one injured in recycling center fire near Sterling
By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com
STERLING – No injuries were reported in connection with a large fire that broke out June 15 outside the Cimco Recycling Center.
Fifteen fire departments, one from as far away as Clinton, Iowa, assisted in fighting the blaze that broke out in an outside pile of recycling remnants and took four hours to extinguish.
The Sterling Fire Department was dispatched about 8 a.m. to the recycling center at 13509 Galt Road, Sterling, for a report of an outside fire. Twin-Com Dispatch then received more information that this was a large fire threatening structures at the recycling center.
Rock Falls firefighters and CGH EMS were added to the response as part of the automatic aid agreements between the departments, according to a news release issued by Sterling Fire Department Deputy Chief David Northcutt. A mutual aid box alarm was issued, he said.
Arriving crews found the large “fluff pile,” which is made up of remnants of what is left from crushing and shredding materials, on fire, with flames threatening nearby structures. Additional alarms were issued for mutual aid response.
About 30 minutes after firefighters arrived, the structures no longer were threatened by fire. It took another four hours to completely extinguish the fire, according to the release. Cimco employees used cranes and heavy equipment to assist with extinguishing the fire.

Grilled strawberry shortcake is a luscious summer dessert
In the summer I love it when you can cook your whole meal outside on the grill, including dessert! One of my favorite summer desserts is strawberry shortcake and several years ago I learned how to make a delicious grilled version.
It starts with a store-bought angel food cake. You might not know this but if you are going to eat cake, angel food is one of the lightest, lowest calorie choices. A 13-ounce cake cut into 12 slices is less than 75 calories per serving. Add a few fresh strawberries (also grilled) and you have a sweet treat for only 100 calories, give or take.
Angel food cake is made with egg whites, sugar and flour. When you

grill the cake slices the sugar burns a little bit and brings out the flavor, so your grilled cake slices taste a bit like toasted marshmallow. It only takes seconds on hot grill high to toast the cake and warm up the strawberries. (If you are one of those twisted individuals who enjoys the burnt marshmallows you can leave your cake on the grill a bit longer.)
No sugar is added to the strawberries but grilling them makes them
warm and extra sweet tasting!
Recipe:
• 1 13-ounce prepared angel food cake cut into 12 slices.
• 1 quart whole fresh strawberries, washed and dried.
Heat grill to high. Put the cake slices on the grill cut side down for 30 to 60 seconds. Place the whole strawberries on the grill. Watch closely! Flip the cake and strawberries and grill an additional 30 to 60 seconds. Serve while warm. Garnish with chocolate syrup and/or whipped topping if desired. Makes 12 servings. Nutrition details (for cake and a half cup strawberries): 105 calories, 20 grams carbohydrate, 3 grams protein, 0 grams fat.
This is a nice light dessert for any time but it’s great for company. Imagine the surprised reaction when you start throwing cake and strawberries on the grill. Serve with a knife and fork so that your guests can cut off a slice of strawberry and bit of cake for the perfect bite.
For an even healthier option you can dispense with the cake entirely. Grilled fruit makes for a great summer dessert or side dish. Try grilling pineapple, peaches, plums and apricots. You will be amazed by the flavors!

Rapid progress was being made toward a return to normal activities in Fulton after some hectic days that began when a devastating windstorm struck the area June 20. More high winds struck June 22. There were no major injuries although property damage was extensive and hundreds of beautiful old trees were uprooted or ruined as huge limbs were torn off. Fulton Corp. had extensive damage to equipment.
The Bosma ambulance was called to the Sikkema Trailer Court after the June 20 storm destroyed several mobile homes. Upon his arrival just before the fire department, Mr. Bosma evaluated the seriousness of the injured and took what he considered to be the two most
urgent cases to the hospital. Several others were driven to the hospital in private cars. Ten people received emergency treatment and were released from the hospital.

At Dr. Kinert’s final meeting with the school board, he had the pleasant task of reporting that indications are the district’s revenue for the next school year will exceed expenditures by about $29,000. The figures are not final, but he believes the tentative budget he submitted will come close to the figures in the final version. Kinert announced several days ago that he was resigning to accept a position as chief administrator of the McHenry County Special Education District.

Keep an eye out for ticks, rashes to catch Lyme disease early
By DR. STEPHEN HARRISON
While the first cases of Lyme disease were in Connecticut and later in Wisconsin, it has been shown to be fairly prevalent throughout the U.S. Around the world, about 15% of people show evidence of having been infected. Many people will never know it because they will be without symptoms. The disease is from the bite of a tick that carries the bacteria. Grassy, brushy and wooded areas are common places for ticks. Most tick bites do not carry the disease. When someone becomes infected,
it usually is in stages starting three to 30 days after the tick bite. A rash that looks like a bull’s-eye commonly is present and often warm to the touch but not painful. Fever, headache, swollen joints and significant fatigue along with swollen lymph nodes and muscle aches may occur. All of this occurs in stage 1.
In stage 2, the condition may progress if there has been no treatment. There may be more rashes and even neck stiffness. There may be painful swelling of the eyelid or other eye-related problems.
Stage 3 may involve all the early symptoms, but also large joint inflammation, especially of the knees. This stage often does not begin until two to 12 months after a tick bite. Advanced cases may involve damage to tissues or joints. Chronic fatigue and memory problems may develop in some people.
Treatment with antibiotics is highly effective when started in the early phases. Treatment usually is 10 to 14 days. More serious infections may take more time and even IV antibiotics. Your doctor may do a laboratory test, although treatment often will begin
based on clinical exposure and risk. The vaccine developed for this condition was removed from the market. Although Lyme disease is more common in warmer months, it occurs yearround as long as the temperature is above freezing. If you are in a heavily wooded area where ticks are common, a tick repellent is advised. Most of these products should not be used on children younger than 3. It is good to do daily inspections for ticks. Long sleeves and pants help. Showering after activity in the woods improves the chances of removing ticks.

Engaging hobbies for seniors
The value of hobbies is undeniable. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology found that employees who engaged in creative hobbies outside of work were more creative on work projects and had a better attitude on the job, while a separate study published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2009 reported that individuals who engaged in enjoyable leisure activities had lower blood pressure and a smaller waist circumference.
The myriad benefits of hobbies is good news for seniors, many of whom have ample time for leisure activities. Whether seniors are retired or still working but free from the responsibilities of parenting, the following are some fun and engaging hobbies to fill that free time.
Cooking: Years spent hustling and bustling through the daily grind of personal and professional obligations might have forced individuals to embrace cooking that emphasized convenience over culinary skill. Now that there’s more time to embrace one’s inner Emeril, seniors can look to cooking classes or take the selftaught route and purchase a new cookbook filled with delicious recipes. A well-cooked homemade meal can provide a sense of accomplishment and affords seniors an opportunity to control the ingredients in the foods they eat, which can be important for individuals with health-related dietary restrictions.
Writing: Many successful individuals have penned their memoirs after long, notable careers and lives. While individuals needn’t follow suit with the goal of making their memoirs public, writing can be a great way for seniors to document their own lives and the lives of their families. Interest in genealogy has risen considerably in recent years, as easily accessible websites like Ancestry.com and 23andMe.com have made it easier than ever for individuals to learn where they came from. Seniors can contextualize the information provided by genealogy websites by writing about their personal experiences and sharing what they know about the lives of their parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members.
Gardening: Seniors looking for hobbies that get them out in the great outdoors need look no further than their own backyards. Gardening can benefit the body in myriad ways. According to the Mayo Clinic Health System, gardening can burn as many calories as working out in the gym. In addition, the MCHS notes
The Golden Moments The Golden Moments
that individuals who grow their own fruits and vegetables are more likely to include those foods in their own diets, thus saving them money at the grocery store and also increasing their intake of nutrient-rich foods.
Swimming: Swimming is an ideal exercise for seniors, as it’s low-impact but still a great way to utilize the entire body. A 2007 study published in the journal Quality of Life Research found that water-based exercise improves older adults’ quality of life and decreases disability. A separate study published in 2008 in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness found that water-based exercise can improve or help to maintain bone health in post-menopausal women.
These are just a few of the many hobbies seniors can pursue as they look for positive and fun ways to spend their free time.

Exploring various types of arthritis
Arthritis is a broad term that encompasses at least 100 different subtypes of the condition. Each has different causes and treatment methods, but some are more common than others.
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases says arthritis means joint inflammation. Joints are where two bones meet. Common symptoms of arthritis include pain, stiffness, swelling, and redness in and around the joints. Arthritis is the No. 1 cause of disability in United States, affecting around 60 million adults and 300,000 children, advises the Arthritis Foundation. While it mainly affects the bones, arthritis also can damage other parts of the body, including organs.
The following is a deep look at some of the more commonly occurring types of arthritis.
Osteoarthritis
Healthline says osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis in the U.S. It develops after the age of 50 or 60 years, and tends to be more prevalent in individuals who are overweight. With OA, joint paint tends to occur after rest or inactivity. It is a degenerative joint disease in which the tissues break down over time.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Unlike OA, which is marked by a breakdown of joint tissue over time, generally due to aging, RA is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body is own immune system attacks the joints and other tissues. In fact, the NIAMS says RA can cause medical problems in areas such as the eyes, lungs, blood, nerves, and heart in addition to the joints.
RA is more common in women than men, and people are likely to get the disease if there is a family history of it.
Psoriatic arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is another inflammatory condition linked to an autoimmune disorder. Individuals with the skin condition psoriasis can develop psoriatic arthritis after skin symptoms occur. It is believed that stressful events, trauma to the joints or bones or infections may trigger the disease in those who already have psoriasis.
Gout
Gout is a type of arthritis that causes flares, often beginning in the big toe or a lower limb. It occurs when a high level of serum urate builds up in the body, which then forms needle-shaped crystals in and around the joint. Gout usually happens in middle age, with
men developing it earlier than women. Some people with gout may be more likely to develop chronic kidney disease, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.
Treatment
Doctors will ask questions and perform blood tests to check for arthritis markers. A general practitioner may recommend a patient see a rheumatologist to get a better arthritis diagnosis as well as a treatment plan.
Treatments include analgesic medications, anti-inflammatory drugs that may be NSAID or steroid formulations, capsaicin creams to block pain signals, or immunosuppressants and biologics if arthritis is autoimmune in nature. Treatment may be customized to each patient.
While there is no cure or surefire way to prevent arthritis, exercising, losing weight, managing stress, and eating healthy foods could limit symptoms. Working with a doctor also can help manage arthritis.

How to include giving in your estate plan
Charitable giving is the lifeblood of many nonprofit organizations. The generosity of donors helps charities meet their missions and provide vital services to people facing disease, financial hardship and other situations they cannot overcome on their own.
Many donors make sacrifices to support their favorite causes and charities. Forgoing certain luxuries so money can be donated to charity illustrates the selfness nature of charitable giving, which can even continue after death. Estate planning is a complicated process that details exactly how a person wants their assets divvied up after death. But an estate plan also can go into effect while individuals are still alive.
Each year, millions of people across the globe choose to include charitable giving in their estate plans, and that can benefit charities and donors. The following are a handful of the many ways charitable men and women can incorporate giving into their estate plans. .
Bequest giving in a will or living trust. Perhaps the most widely known way to include charitable giving in an estate plan is to bequeath money in a will or living will. The Community Foundation Alliance notes that bequests typically allow donors to define how their donations will be spent or utilized. That benefits charitable organizations, but surviving family members also can benefit from such arrangements. According to LawDepot.com, individuals may be able to lower the estate taxes on their estates at their time of death if they bequeath money to an eligible charitable organization in their wills..
Consider a charitable rollover. The Internal Revenue Service notes that individuals with an IRA, SEP IRA, Simple IRA, or retirement plan account generally must begin withdrawing money from these accounts when they reach age 72. These withdrawals are called required minimum distributions and they are considered taxable income. However, individuals who want to give to charity can opt for a Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD. A QCD counts toward the minimum distribution from retirement accounts and individuals will not be taxed on the money they donate to charity. ThatÕs a win-win for charities and individuals 72 and over who do not need to withdraw money from their IRAs to meet daily living expenses.
The Golden Moments The Golden Moments WORKSHOPS
Donate via a charitable remainder trust. A charitable remainder trust, or CRT, allows individuals to set up a trust that benefits both a designated beneficiary and a charity or charities of their choosing. When a CRT is set up, a beneficiary will receive annual payments from the trust until it terminates, at which time the remaining funds in the trust are donated to charity. The philanthropy experts at Fidelity Charitable note that individuals can name themselves as the beneficiaries of the trust, which ensures they will have an income during retirement and that their favorite charities will be supported when the trust expires. Individuals who want to make charitable giving part of their estate plan can do so in various ways.

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 to help tell their story.
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!
Donald David Strohman
By Ava Johnson
Do you know how much has changed in the last 100 years? My
great-grandpa Donald David Strohman recently just turned 100 years old and has seen so much in his lifetime. During my interview with him, we discussed his childhood, adult life and retirement. I learned how hardworking he is, the importance of family and also that he is quite the handyman. Listening to him describe and tell stories of his life made me a lot closer and appreciate all he has done for our family.
Donald David Strohman was born April 6, 1924, in Sigourney, Iowa. His parents were David Strohman and Anna Burns. He had four siblings. His oldest brother was Albert, his sister’s name is Gertrude, his other brother is Richard and another brother is Robert and then my great-grandpa is the baby of the family. Growing up he was busy doing chores. His chores were getting food from the garden, feeding the animals, farming and many other things.
He and his family only went to town once a year. When he was a kid, a favorite memory of his childhood was when his dad took him into town and his dad bought a 1925 Chevrolet for $50. He was so proud and tickled of his dad that he was able to buy that.
My great-grandpa was raised during
the Great Depression, so money was saved and hard to earn during this time. He lived in the country and they grew their own food. He was a very handy person to have around. When he wasn’t doing those things, he was eating or getting ready for bed. He and his family would sometimes play cards and have popcorn at night. He went to bed when the sun went down because there was no electricity to keep it bright in the house. He always went to bed from being tired from his chores, too. There also were no land phones to talk to anyone.
My great-grandpa was a very good kid when he was younger. For his education, he attended three different schools when he was a kid. He started school at Smith School, which was a one-room schoolhouse. He was there for a little bit and then transferred to Salem School, which also was a oneroom schoolhouse. The last school that he went to was Geneseo High School, where he graduated. In high school, he was a pingpong champion.
Even though he didn’t get into too much trouble, he and his friends would smash watermelons and pumpkins together. When the war was going on,
he remembers that he had to go to Chicago by train for a physical and was stamped with 1A on him. After returning home, he received a letter with it labeled 2C, which meant he was exempt from the war because they needed farmers. His sister worked at the Pentagon during the war.
After high school, my wonderful great-grandpa married my greatgrandma Mary Egert when he was 19 years old on Feb. 2, 1944. They moved into their first house in 1945. They had four children. They were all girls with the younger daughter being my grandma Sandy. While married, he worked at International John Deere for a short while before farming full time. Also, his family played marbles a lot.
Family was everything to him, so his family would go to his parents’ house every Sunday to visit them. Also, some of his favorite things to eat were apple Betty, rice with cinnamon or anything that my great-grandma Mary would make. He didn’t travel too often since he farmed year-round, but he did go on a vacation to Arizona in 1968 and traveled the state.

“We went through all the framing, roofing and siding and then how to construct them,” McMillan said. “And then we delivered them. I think the kids learned a lot and they understood how important it was to be involved with the project.”
More information about the plan can be found on Ogle County’s website under Ogle County Health Department CDC Accelerator Plan Success Story.
Information also is available by calling 815-5626976 or visiting the Ogle County Health Department Facebook page.

Levels of nutrition and physical activity are risk factors of becoming obese, yet these rural communities have very limited access to grocery stores and recreational fitness facilities when compared with the rates for Illinois and the U.S.
About 25% of Ogle and Lee county residents and 26% of Whiteside County residents have obesity. Fresh produce and a place to be physically active are hard to come by throughout rural northwestern Illinois.
Studies have been done by the CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity that state an increase in nutritional foods and regular physical activity will reduce the chances of becoming

He always wanted to have new inventions in his home, too. The very first dishwasher he bought was a gift for my great-grandma. He told me that she really wanted a new coat, but he came home with a dishwasher instead. He thinks she eventually liked it better than the coat. He remembers getting their first color TV as well. While his kids grew up and eventually moved out, he constantly was changing and remodeling his house, too. He is very talented with construction, plumbing and electricity.
Later in life, he eventually retired from farming. To keep him busy, he completely remodeled another house on his farm when he was 80 years old,
obese as well as developing other chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
Nutrition and physical activity can be perceived differently by everyone. In partnership with two local universities, a rural active living assessment was completed to identify the areas within the counties that were in the most need. A nutritional environment measures survey was conducted to evaluate the quality, availability and price of items that were offered to the community.
To engage with the community and gain knowledge on its perception of availability, a Google Forms survey was distributed via social media. Community hospitals, health departments and educators worked together to create the surveys and collect data from community members on their perception of nutrition and the availability of nutritious foods.
The rural active living assessment was conducted in 12 towns and found there was a need to increase the knowledge about what fitness opportunities are available to community members.
The nutritional environment measures survey showed there was a low availability in reduced sodium options in the stores in the catchment area.
The Google Forms survey had 364 responses with 28.2% reporting that they “disagree” when asked if they have the ability to support the costs associated with purchasing nutritious foods. Because of these results, plans have been put in place to bring additional access to nutritious foods by increasing food pantries and mini food centers.
which is pretty remarkable. The most hardship in his life was when his wife Mary passed away in 2015. He thinks about her all the time.
His lifelong friend Lenora is a lady who was in his graduating class from Geneseo High School. Lenora and my great-grandpa are the last two in their class, so they will occasionally get together for coffee and she will sometimes write him a letter in the mail. The way he spends his free time is either listening to audiobooks or spending time with family. We still have family get-togethers out on the farm and it’s amazing to see how large a family can grow from just two people over time. His advice to me was to spend time with your family – it’s really important.
He farmed until he was about 80 years old. He didn’t travel much and
or
normally just stayed on his farm. He always had a project he was doing. However, they were never little projects. He was all about his yard and mowed his grass all the time. They always had the most beautiful flowers in their yard. He is now 100 years old and still doing really well. My inspiring great-grandpa is always making people laugh with his jokes.
I have learned a lot from this project. I learned that a lot of things can happen in 100 years. I didn’t realize how much you had to work. You have to work for the things you want. I feel like I got closer with my greatgrandpa during the project because I don’t see him that often and I got to talk to him one on one. A life lesson I’ve learned is if you want something you will have to work for it. It won’t just get handed to you. I really enjoyed
this project. I got to learn what he was like as a child and what his childhood was like. He had to work a lot since he was a little kid. He always cared for others and put family first, no matter what. He really loved his family and always will.
Overall, Donald David Strohman is hardworking and caring and has a loving family. His greatest accomplishment in life was his marriage with Mary and his family. My greatgrandpa is still learning new things, even at 100 years old. He can’t believe he just has to tell Alexa to start his book and it just goes. Technology has always been advancing over his lifetime. After talking to my greatgrandpa, I never knew how much my family farmed and how long we have been farming and the hard work that went into it.
