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 and 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.
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!
Ronald Lee Kuykendall
By ADDI TEMPLE
Have you ever been able to ice skate on your back porch? Well, my maternal great-grandfather did. When the Rock River flooded in the winter, it froze and flooded up to his back porch. He was able to go outside and ice skate on his back porch for fun! He is an awesome great-grandfather. He is very helpful and very smart! My maternal great-grandfather is amazing because of the influence his childhood had on him, his success as an adult and the relaxing life he lives now.
Ronald Lee Kuykendall is an awesome great-grandfather because of the upbringing he had in his childhood. Ron Kuykendall is my great-grandfather. He was born Sept. 14, 1935, in Moline Public Hospital. His parents were Edwin Lee Kuykendall and Florence Marie Streed. His dad was a beer delivery man, farmer, tavern owner and worked for the Illinois State Highway. His mom worked at a tavern and a restaurant in Orion because she was such a good cook. Later in life, she became a clerk in the grocery store, a housekeeper and she loved making crafts. She liked sewing in her free time, too. Ron had one brother named George. George was 10 years younger. George is retired from the Rock Island Arsenal and he lives in Kansas City. George and his wife, Sandi, have two sons and one daughter. As a kid, my grandpa did many fun things with his brother. They loved to go fishing in the Rock River. He also loved sledding and ice skating.
My grandpa was moving constantly. For elementary school, he started at a school in Milan and completed first, second and third grade. For fourth and fifth grade, he went to Edison elementary school in Rock Island. For sixth and seventh grade, he went to a oneroom schoolhouse near Eliza. He had to walk two and a half miles to school each day because there were no buses.
For eighth grade, he went to Orion grade school. Finally, he moved to Erie to go to high school. During high school, he played basketball and ran track. They didn’t have football until 1951 and when he went out for football, he realized it was during harvest time, so his dad made him quit to help harvest. He graduated high school in 1953 from Erie High School. While at home, he had hard chores as a teen. He helped cut firewood, but had to use buzz and hand saws because they had no chainsaws. He also had to fill the furnace with block coal and clean it out. He always helped his father with the livestock, too. One year he even had to pick 15 acres of tomatoes for the Heinz Canning Company. As you can see, Ronald Lee Kuykendall is an awesome great-grandfather because of the experiences and work ethic instilled in him during his childhood.
Not only did Ron’s childhood affect who he is, but so did his adult life. In 1954, he was drafted into the Army. He went to Korea for 15 months but he was there in peace time. In 1956, he came home from the Army and worked as a farmer. On July 6, 1957, he got married to Juanita June Hunter. He had his first child, Aline Marie Kuykendall, in 1958. After Aline was born, he went to work at Northwestern Steel and Wire. While working at the steel mill, he had his second child, Rhonda Kay, in 1961. In 1965, they built a house in town, next to the Pink Pony. In 1968, he had his first son, Ronald. In 1974, his family went to Disney World for a big family vacation! In 1977, he and his wife bought Don’s Tap. This was a local bar that served alcohol and food. At Don’s Tap they had a variety of food. They also had tug teams, adult softball teams, pool and dart teams. It was a lot of fun and he really enjoyed those years.
In 1989, Ron retired from the steel mill but he was still working at Don’s Tap. Later in 1989, he was elected to be the road commissioner in Newton Township. In 2000, they sold Don’s Tap. At this time, they were still in the farmhouse. Every Easter, the whole family would get together and have Easter egg hunts with the grandchildren in the backyard. Sledding down the hill in the back of their house during the winter was a favorite pastime of myself and the family. Another fun thing my grandpa did with his grandkids was catch ground squirrels. There was never a shortage of things to do while there. I remember driving the small Gator to the end of the road and back while my grandparents sat in the swing talking to each other. My grandpa always liked to play pool and darts on the weekends. I have so many favorite memories from the farmhouse that I will never forget.
The farmhouse was always so fun because it was so big and we had so many things to do. They always hosted family reunions. The whole family would get together, catch up and eat lots of good food. In 2019, Ron retired from being the road commissioner and moved to Erie. He moved next to the school in a smaller blue house. They moved because the country house was too big. The new house was the perfect size for them. My grandpa always helps my grandma around the yard and he always keeps his yard looking nice. He always makes sure the bird feeders are taken care of too. It is obvious that Ron’s adult life helped to make him the best grandfather.
Ron has had many experiences that have shaped the person he is today. He loves reading books every day, especially when they are about history. He also enjoys spending time with his family. He does many things with family including playing cards, visiting grandchildren and going to family dinners or parties. He likes teasing his cat, Calli. At night, he always watches the news and loves watching TV with his wife. As you can see, he still does many things even after he retired. On July 6,
it will be their 66th wedding anniversary. The many accomplishments and activities of Ron have helped to shape who he is today.
I learned a lot about Ron’s childhood and how he grew up. I feel like I’m closer to him because I know more about him now. A life lesson I learned from this is to always take your time to talk to your family members. It’s always good to learn new things about your family, especially if you learn about their past life. You can always build up your relationship with someone just by talking to them and learning new things about them. I feel like this project is good because it helps you learn things about your family if you’re not close to them. This project was a great experience and I highly encourage you to talk to your family members about their life.
Ron, my maternal great-grandfather, is an amazing man. Ron’s childhood contributed to the amazing person he is. Additionally, his adult life also impacted the person he is. Today, he still continues to accomplish things that prove he is an amazing grandpa. My grandpa always wants me to remember that I should live a life I will be proud of.

CRIME AND COURTS
Trial set for Thomson woman charged in pedestrian death
MORRISON – A bench trial has been set for Sept. 27 in the case of a Thomson woman charged with a traffic offense in the death of a pedestrian who was struck and killed Dec. 25 near Fulton.
Tina L. Craigmiles, 51, first was charged Jan. 3. That case was dropped because lab test results were pending and the state requested “further investigation,” Whiteside County State’s Attorney Terry Costello said in his Jan. 12 motion to dismiss.
The charge was refiled Feb. 24. Craigmiles pleaded not guilty March 22.
On July 12, she signed a waiver repeating her not guilty plea. She faces a fine of up to $1,000 if convicted.
The collision happened about 6 p.m. on state Route 84 and Covell Road.
According to the Whiteside County sheriff’s report, Craigmiles told the deputy she was northbound on Route 84 with a passenger, David L. Craigmiles, looked down to set her SUV’s cruise control, and when she looked up, she struck Renee G. Peralta, 48, of North Las Vegas, Nevada, who was standing in the northbound lane. Peralta was traveling through the area, Sheriff John Booker said.

Dutch miller to share ‘The History of Groningen’
Volunteer millers will host a program titled “The History of Groningen” at 6 p.m. Monday, July 31, at Fulton’s Windmill Cultural Center. Fulton has a rich Dutch heritage and the windmill area and the annual Dutch festival are proof of those roots. Many of those settling in Fulton have Groningen roots. Program presenter Johan van Dijk, a miller and miller trainer, was raised in Warffum, Groningen, and currently lives in the city of Groningen.
Van Dijk has been a “windmill enthusiast” since his earliest memories. At age 12, he began helping at the windmill in Pieterburen, Groningen, The Netherlands, with miller and trainer Derk Jan Tinga. At age 16, van Dijk started his formal education as a volunteer miller and received his miller’s degree at age 18. Van Dijk has worked at several windmills and currently he mostly works at the windmill Hollands Welvaart in Mensingeweer, Groningen. He started being a trainer at this windmill in 2022. In the same year, he became chairman of the provincial board of the Gilde van Molenaars (Guild of Millers) in Groningen. Van Dijk previously visited Fulton in
2005 and 2016.
Van Dijk received his formal education at the University of Groningen and ended his studies in 2011 with a master’s degree in modern cultural

history. Since graduation, he has worked as a freelance researcher, writer, (city) guide, documentary maker, presenter and adviser, with a main focus on cultural heritage in the
northern part of The Netherlands.
“The History of Groningen” will focus on the city of Groningen and its unique position in The Netherlands, both geographic and historic. Starting as the most northern village of what was later to be called the province of Drenthe, it developed its own identity and province and became the fifth largest city in The Netherlands. Van Dijk will take the audience on a digital tour through downtown Groningen telling about highlights such as the famous Martinitower, the new building Forum and the railway station that has been voted as the most beautiful in The Netherlands.
The presentation will be at 6 p.m. Monday, July 31, at the Windmill Cultural Center at 111 10th Ave., Fulton, across from the authentic Dutch windmill. Presentations are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served after the presentation. The facility is accessible to people with disabilities.
For information, visit the Windmill Cultural Center and de Immigrant Windmill Facebook page, the “Visit Fulton” Facebook page, www.cityoffulton website or call 563-249-6115.

Loans available for farmers, businesses, nonprofits hurt by spring storms
Farmers, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses and private nonprofit organizations hurt by the severe storms, high winds and tornadoes in late March and early April are eligible to apply for federal low-interest loans.
Whiteside, Lee and Bureau counties, among many others where farmers are seeing production losses this growing season because of the March 31 tornadoes and the bad weather that lasted through April 5, have received federal USDA disaster designations.
The designation allows the USDA Farm Service Agency to provide emergency loans. Farmers in eligible counties have eight months to apply by contacting their local USDA Service Center to file a notice of loss.
Co-ops, small businesses and nonprofits in Lee, Ogle, Whiteside and Bureau counties can apply for low-interest economic injury disaster loans from the Small Business Administration to help meet working capital needs, the agency said in a news release.
To assist the affected businesses, the SBA is opening a Business Recovery Center in the Lee County Courts building at 309 S. Galena Ave. in Dixon.
The center will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and then from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. It will close permanently at 4 p.m. Wednesday, July 26.
Customer service representatives will be available to answer questions about the disaster loan program and help business owners complete their applications.
Interest rates are 4% for businesses and 2.375% for nonprofits with terms of up to 30 years based on each applicant’s financial condition.
Applicants can apply online at https://disasterloanassistance.sba. gov/ela/s/ under SBA declaration 17983.
Disaster loan information and application forms also are available at 800-659-2955 (or 800-877-8339 for the
deaf and hearing-impaired) and at DisasterCustomerService@sba.gov.
Applications also can be downloaded at sba.gov/disaster.
They should be returned to the center or mailed to U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
The filing deadline is April 3, 2024.
In addition, SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman recently announced a policy change granting 12 months of no payments and 0 percent interest.
This pertains to all disaster loans approved in response to disasters declared from Sept. 21, 2022, through Sept. 30 of this year.
The change will benefit disaster survivors and help them to decrease the overall cost of recovery by reducing the amount of accrued interest they must repay, according to the release.
Details are available through the SBA Disaster Assistance Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955.
Those with verbal or hearing impairments can dial 7-1-1 to access telecommunications relay services from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday or email DisasterCustomerService@sba.go.

1993: Water and sewer lines need repair as result of recent flood
60 Years
July 17, 1963
After a long and intensive campaign by a group of softball enthusiasts, the new floodlights at Pleasure Park will be dedicated formally on Friday evening with a program and an All-Star Little League baseball game. Among speakers will be Mayor Wiersema and George Busch, who has been the driving force behind the campaign to provide floodlights at the park.
An attempt to rob Olson’s Supper Club early Monday morning was foiled when Officer John Voss found a window screen at the place had been taken off. He then fired two shots in the air as a man fled through a cornfield north of the business. Officers are following up several leads in an attempt to identify the burglar.

July 14, 1993
The city of Fulton will have a minimum of $75,000 in repairs to water and sewer lines as a result of the 1993 flood. Breaks and cave-ins were numerous where groundwater was the highest. A sanitary sewer in an alley between 19th and 20th avenues collapsed. On 17th Avenue, the street was dropping between Fourth and Sixth streets and it is believed a cave-in could happen. On the west end of 13th Avenue, a cave-in
clogged the main sewage line going under the 14th Avenue bridge. Pumps are operating in a manhole on the west end of 12th Avenue. Thirteenth Avenue also caved in between Fourth and Fifth streets and on 13th Avenue and Fifth Street there was a break in the sanitary sewer line causing a drop in the street’s surface but no cave-in.
Fulton’s flood protection dike “did its job” during the great flood of 1993. Twenty-five years ago when the dike was being constructed, the cost of more than $20 million seemed astronomical. Officials kept talking about 100- and 200year floods and it appeared to be senseless to be building a dike for something that may happen far into the future. Here it is only 28 years since the record flood of 1965 and the dike was needed to protect the area.

Another roadblock to weight loss is discussed YOUR
HEALTH
By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.
Most people trying to lose weight are told to make sure they drink plenty of water. Accordingly, they often carry around plastic water bottles for that well-intended purpose. As it turns out, the water bottle itself may be part of an important barrier. Many plastic products have hidden toxic invaders that sabotage our weight loss. These toxins are called obesogens.
Obesogens are part of a family of chemicals called endocrine disrupting chemicals or EDC. They may enter our body through touching, eating, drinking and even the air that we breathe. These chemicals hijack our endocrine system, according to Dr. Al Sears. They disturb the messenger system of hormones, which leads to an increase in the
number of fat cells, as well as the enlargement of the existing fat cells. They also interfere with the body’s ability to control appetite.
Actions to consider lessening the exposure to these EDC chemicals include avoiding products that contain BPA. While these were banned from baby bottles and the like, they continue to appear in eyewear, cosmetics and cash register receipts. The next group of chemicals is known as phthalates. These chemicals make our plastics more flexible and durable. They are found in toys and food packaging, detergents and soaps and other similar items.
Additional chemicals to be aware of include atrazine, which is a herbicide. It increases the risk of insulin resistance, leading to obesity.
Finally, perfluorooctanoic acid, or
PFOA, is found in stain repellents, popcorn packaging, fast food wrappers, carpeting and nonstick cookware. These chemicals have contributed to a tripling number of people with obesity since 1975. Along with this comes an increase in diabetes, low testosterone, impairment in the immune system, Parkinson’s and even cancer.
Dr. Sears recommends that we fight back by doing a search in our house for these products. Most important, avoid the use of EDCs in the microwave. Avoid plastic water bottles by using an in-home water filter. Beware that most cosmetics, deodorants and personal care products may contain EDCs and look for natural alternatives. The environmental working group database may help you find such products. Also be aware that obe-
sogens can build up in dust.
Positive measures to execute include eating vegetables with the chemical DIM, which is found in broccoli and Brussels sprouts. These help your body break down and illuminate the EDC. The recommended daily dosage is 100 mg. Also, the DIM precursor Indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) helps prevent fake estrogen from attaching to our cell receptors. It also helps to metabolize estrogen into harmless compounds that can be flushed away. The recommendation for this product also is 100 mg.
Finally, one of the best mechanisms to reduce these toxins is to excrete them through sweat, preferably with an infrared sauna. This helps to penetrate several inches into your tissue and release the debris from the fat underneath the skin.
