In order to raise funds, volunteers make the pledge to shave their head as a sign of unity for children with cancer in exchange for donations to the foundation. Her head was shaved on Saturday.

FATAL FIRE

BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@shawmedia.com ROCK FALLS – The elevator at Civic Plaza 1 still is waiting on parts, and because it is not yet working, none of the residents displaced by the fire will be moving back into the building for at least another week, Whiteside County Housing Authority Executive Director Chuck Adams said. The Housing Authority paid for a week’s stay at one of the town’s four hotels and motels for the more than 70 people who needed it, and Tri-County Opportunities Council will be paying for the next week, and a week after that if still needed, Adams said. No one is being asked to leave, and in fact, those who spent the last week with friends or family and now need a room will be accommodated, Adams said. Letters to that effect were sent this week to those residents they

could locate; residents who have been staying elsewhere but haven’t been in contact are asked to call Tri-County or the Housing Authority so officials know where to send information and how to get in touch with them. The nine-story, 100-unit public housing high rise was home to 104 people, many elderly or disabled. One resident, Eunice Karr, was found dead; the fire started in her fifth-floor apartment around 10:45 p.m. March 5, fire officials said. There is no word yet from the state fire marshal’s office as to the cause of the fire, or from the coroner as to a cause of death. Cleaning crews are focusing their efforts on the least-damaged apartments, so as many people as possible can be moved back in as soon as the elevator is fixed; they have been working daily since the fire and will be working again over the weekend, Adams said.

Potatoes are the star of Irish dinners

Eagle Nature Foundation will celebrate 60 years in September

Misunderstood food can actually be nutritious, when prepared well Corned beef and cabbage get a lot of attention this time of year, but the potato is the real star of the Irish dinner plate. In fact, potatoes were once such a staple in Ireland that the potato famine of the mid-1800’s, also known as “The Great Hunger,” when a fungus destroyed much of the crop for several years in a row, resulted in the death of more than 1 million peasants and the migration of up to a million more citizens to other countries. As with Ireland, the potato is also a staple in the United States. In fact, it is the most widely consumed vegetable. Unfortunately, most people eat them in the unhealthiest forms possible. That’s too bad, because potatoes are very nutritious. They are a good source of potassium, and surprisingly high in vitamin C.

appy Saint Patrick’s Day! While I have not an ounce of Irish in me that I am aware of, it is a holiday I love. I enjoy decorating for it, the theme, everything. Once I learned how to make a tender corned beef brisket, I had a serious go to food. Food Brings Everyone to the Table is the theme for National Ag Day. You can take this how you want as there are a number of ways. One thing I thought of first is how it takes many different farmers to fill the table with food. It takes our livestock farmers for the meat, it takes vegetable farmers for our side dishes, it takes a dairy farmer to have the milk, butter, and cheese. Another way to look at it is all those who are involved in getting that food to your table. It takes the farmer of course and it takes all who help him. It takes his insurance agent who insures his farm. It takes his banker who the loan comes from. It takes the implement dealer who sold him the equipment he needs to plant and harvest the crop. It takes the service company who provides him with imputs he needs. It takes the grain elevator employees, it takes the truckers, it takes the food processing companies, it takes a veterinarian, it takes merchandisers, it takes grocery stores and their employees. As you see my list can go on, and on. I know I left out a

number of people who are involved. Another way to look at the theme, is bringing family and friends together. Things I know have changed as families are no longer on the same schedule all the time. Things were simpler when I was growing up as I remember always eating dinner at the table as a family. We also used to go to my grandparents every Sunday for dinner. We drove from Prophetstown to Milledgeville each week. If you are familiar with route at all, there is no good way to get there. I am still a firm believer in meals are eaten at the table but now things seem to be in shifts vs eating all together. However, food still plays a huge part in family functions and holidays. Likely this is one of the things that was missed most socially during the pandemic, but also something that likely improved at home.

Milledgeville boys basketball coach Brad Grenoble once was a man in need. A fire destroyed his house about 16 years ago, and the people of Milledgeville and Chadwick rallied around him. He eventually was able to rebuild in rural Chadwick, just down the road from Ted and Becky Bryant. “Our house burned down, and the community did something for my wife, my family and I,” Grenoble said. “Ted and Becky Bryant were big parts of that. He’s like a second dad to my kids. He’s in the community. The guy’s been a volunteer firefighter forever and he’s a paramedic, so he’s helped tons of people.” Grenoble is now using basketball as a way to help Ted Bryant, who was recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Triple Hit. Unlike a majority of lymphomas that have a single genetic mutation,

• BASKETS Continued from Page 7 Triple Hit Lymphoma has three mutations and is especially difficult to treat. For the next six months, Bryant will travel to CGH Medical Cebter in Sterling every three weeks for 96 consecutive hours of chemotherapy. His first session was completed the week of Feb. 15, and the next begins this week. It’s going to be a tough road to recovery for Bryant, 52, who works as a paramedic at CGH and is also a volunteer firefighter in Chadwick. That sparked an idea from Grenoble: a free-throw pledge. All 26 Missiles basketball players went out in the community and sought pledges for each made free throw made out of 100. Pledges ranged from 25 cents to $5 for each conversion. Senior guard Treyton Selman lined up 30 donors, and noted he didn’t have to do a whole lot of convincing to do so. “They saw the situation and they know how hard it is to deal with cancer,” Selman said. “They just wanted to help out.” Shooting day was a nongame day for the Missiles. After practice, all of the hoopsters convened in the gym and spread out over six baskets. They would shoot 10 free throws, write down the number of makes, rebound for the next shooter, and keep going until 100 shots were attempted. Selman, an 89% free-throw shooter this season, was a bit jittery before toeing the line. “I think this is more pressure

RIGHT: Milledgeville basketball player Treyton Selman eyes the basket during his 100 free throws at the school. because it’s for a better cause,” Selman said. “We play the game to have fun and compete, but this is to help someone in our community.” Led by Selman, the Missiles made 1,735 out of 2,600 attempts, for a 66.7% conversion rate. Selman made 67 in a row at one point, and 98 out of 100 overall. Kieren Harris (91), Ashton Nobis (84), Chase Sarber (80), Izaak Toms-Smith (79) and Eric Ebersole (79) also were impressive.

The Missiles are collecting the money this weekend and will present a check to the Bryant family on Tuesday. “That’s going to be exciting,” senior guard Jake Gallegos said. “It’s fun to do something like this – making free throws for a good cause. It’s a real nice thing we’re doing.” Ted Bryant graduated from Chadwick High School in 1987, Becky Bryant a year after that, and their

daughter Elizabeth graduated from Milledgeville High in 2012. “He’s just always there,” Grenoble said of his neighbor and friend. “He goes to games and he donates money at booster events. Both him and Becky, they’d give the shirt off their backs to help other people. “I think when people need help, it’s nice to give back to people who have given so much to their community.”

HIGH SCHOOL

Traditional spring sports to have state finals IHSA says baseball, softball, track and more will play for championships BY JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com Coaches and athletes in the IHSA traditional spring sports around Illinois are rejoicing after learning last week that state finals are planned for their sports in June. The COVID-19 pandemic wiped out the entire spring sports season in 2020, along with the boys basketball state tournaments. The IHSA Board of Directors met Monday and approved a recommendation to set dates and parameters for badminton, baseball, softball, bass fishing, boys gymnastics, boys tennis, boys volleyball, girls soccer, journalism, boys and girls lacrosse, boys and girls track and field and boys and girls water polo. Boys and girls lacrosse and boys volleyball cannot conduct state finals under current Illinois Department of Public Health mitigations. However, the board approved plans to host those state finals in hopes that mitigation changes will allow for it by that time.

Matthew Apgar – mapgar@shawmedia.com

The 2019 IHSA softball state championship trophy sits on a table with the regional, sectional and supersectional plaques. Softball and baseball are among the traditional IHSA spring sports that will be allowed to compete for state titles as the COVID-19 pandemic improves. The state series guidelines will be posted online and shared with coaches and personnel later this week. The IHSA also released a statement that outdoor sports can increase their attendance over the limit of 50 from indoor sports. Under the IDPH guidelines, schools within regions under Phase 4 mitigations are allowed up to 20% capacity for outdoor events.

MORRISON – There will be two St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital fundraising events from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 5 and Sept. 4 at Whiteside County Fairgrounds, 201 W. Winfield St. Admission is free to the general public. Vendor and crafter spots are available with 10 by 10 foot areas, $35 without electricity and $40 with. Vendors so far include Thirty-One gifts, Paparazzi, TUPPERWARE, Color Street, Scentsy, and Tastefully Simple. Call sponsor Kim at 815-238-6170 for table reservations or for more information.

Extension offers webinar MT.CARROLL – University of Illinois Extension will have a free webinar series “Keys for Embracing Aging” from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursdays from March 25 to April

The spring sports first affected by this will be football and boys soccer. Girls volleyball, an inside sport that starts soon, still will be limited to 50. “We have been adamant in our discussions with IDPH that we believe we can safely and responsibly expand spectator guidelines

without risking the general public to greater exposure to COVID-19,” IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson said. “This felt like a commonsense change, especially as we evaluated collegiate and pro sport spectator guidelines in the state, and are happy for the student-athletes who will be participating in IHSA outdoor sports this spring and summer, as well as for their families and friends.” In the fall, the IHSA’s postseason series for sports considered low risk (boys and girls cross country, boys and girls golf, girls tennis and girls swimming) ended with sectional competitions. The last state finals in an IHSA sports were last year’s Classes 3A and 4A girls basketball tournaments in early March. Now, with lower COVID-19 numbers around the state, the IHSA can have its state finals in sports that did not get any season at all a year ago. The IHSA also will be posting a sport-by-sport mitigation guidance later in the week so those in spring sports (now considered the “summer season” in May and June by the IHSA) can better prepare for their seasons.

29 and Sept. 2 to Oct. 7 via Zoom. This program is a 12-part series designed to help aging adults develop strategies for taking care of themselves through the years. Sessions cover topics including positive attitude, nutrition, socialization, brain health, stress management and safety. Attend all 12 sessions, or simply drop in on the sessions that fit your schedule. Go to go.illinois.edu/agingkeys to register or for more information.
