EDUCATION

Engineer with Morrison ties invents ‘Robotany’ for spouse’s research

By TROY E. TAYLOR

ttaylor@shawmedia.com

The best innovations start at home.

Just ask James Jackson Potter.

A lecturer and mechanical engineer with lifetime ties to Morrison and Sterling, he led the students who created a portable robotic imaging device for botanists doing field research.

Which is important because it was created for his wife, biologist Rachel Penczykowski, and her team from Washington University in St. Louis.

“I asked her for projects,” said Potter, who also is on the Washington University faculty. “I’m always looking for projects for my senior design class.”

What Penczykowski needed was a more efficient means to collect data in the field, especially the summer survey of plants damaged by insects and pathogens along the Mississippi River.

The traditional recording methods just weren’t cutting it. They could make handwritten observations in a notebook and designate locations. But it wasn’t a thorough collection of data – material that could be studied later in detail.

“We didn’t have anything,” Penczykowski said. “Take out a point-andshoot camera and take a photo of the landscape and the site just to characterize the scene. It was not a way to systematically take photos on the ground from a consistent angle and distance.”

Moreover, the team is on the move.

Duluth to New Orleans is a lot of ground to cover. There are high-resolution camera rigs, but they weren’t that portable. They took too much time to set up and take down.

Potter gave his students at the McKelvey School of Engineering the task of designing a machine that could provide high-resolution photography of ground cover over a 1-meter square patch. The device had to be lightweight, quick to assemble on site and constructed out of

James Jackson Potter devised an easily transportable machine for his spouse, Rachel Penczykowski, that lets plant researchers take high-resolution photos that can be studied later in a lab setting. Potter is originally from Morrison and Sterling. easily available materials.

Potter said there were three cycles to the design process. Initially, groups of students took on the task of coming up with concepts.

“One did a really good job of making a viable machine,” Potter said. “One of the students in that group took it another semester to improve certain aspects. I did another cycle to make sure it was as good as I could make it.

Refine the design.”

The design they settled on used a frame of PVC pipe and a camera mounted on two aluminum rails. The camera takes 24 photographs as it moves on the track, recording everything within the 1-meter grid.

The entire device costs about $500.

Disassembled, it fits into a golf bag.

“I made a second version of the machine so we could take one and Rachel’s lab tech could take the other one. I made it with just hand tools,” Potter said.

The machine got a trial run nearby.

Morrison Rockwood State Park is a regular stop for Penczykowski’s team.

It was a good spot to put the “Robotany” as they call it through its paces.

“What’s so critical is it reduces the

work that is required to collect that data in real time on the ground in the field,” Penczykowski said. “Field time is so precious. … Any data we can bring back to process later is well worth it to us.”

A program takes the 24 separate

images and makes a composite. All the photography is high-resolution, providing new levels of detail. The data also is now available to researchers outside her lab.

“It’s been great during COVID for those students who can’t come into the lab,” Penczykowski said. “We have several students doing remote research projects using our image analysis.”

The process for creating the device was published – Sylvia Tan is the co-author – in Methods in Ecology and Evolution.

“The reviewers of the paper had good things to say about the machine,” Potter said.

“When I give seminars, I always put in a plug for our device,” Penczykowski said.

Penczykowski, 36, is an assistant professor of biology whose research interests are in host-parasite interactions. Potter, 38, is a 2001 Sterling High School graduate with a master’s degree from Wisconsin-Madison and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They both got their respective doctorates from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

They have two children.

Morrison Community Hospital updated its COVID-19 testing protocol in light of the surge in cases.

The hospital said it will only test patients with COVID-19-like symptoms. Qualifying individuals must stay in their vehicle and call 815- 772-55 11. Drive rs will be directed to the North Ambulance bay, where a nurse will test people while they remain in their vehicle.

For rapid results, people will be directed to a designated parking space. After results are delivered, people will be screened by a provider in the Family Care Clinic, which is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

Questions should be directed to 815-772-5511.

The hospital no longer will be providing COVID-19 vaccines –

Whiteside County Health Department pauses rapid testing at state’s request SAUK VALLEY MEDIA ROCK FALLS – The Whiteside County Health Department said Sept. 2 that it was complying with a request from the Illinois Department of Public Health to pause rapid antigen tests for COVID-19 to preserve dwindling resources.

Cory Law, who is with the Whiteside County Health Department, said in a news release that the state is asking local health departments to prioritize testing and preserve resources for schools.

Law said the state is exploring

options to provide resources and assistance to schools and community testing. In a followup email Sept. 2, Law said the department was waiting for further guidance from IDPH. The testing pause includes the “Know Before You Go” testing that the Whiteside County Health Department had been offering on Fridays but had planned on replacing with antigen testing.

The change comes the same day that the Whiteside County Health Department had planned to institute a change in rapid testing procedures to cope with what it called an “over-

whelming demand” of its service. The department said Sept. 1 that it was limiting its period of testing and warned that its supply of antigen tests could run out.

Testing has been on the rise across the Sauk Valley region. All four counties are considered areas of high transmission of COVID-19.

According to data posted by the IDPH from the Illinois National Electronic Disease Surveillance System, Whiteside County has administered 1,158 tests since the end of counting on Aug. 29 through 2:30 p.m. Sept. 2.

I-NEDSS testing revealed an addi-

tional 58 cases during that time period.

In the same time period, Ogle County has administered 664 tests, Lee County 461 tests and Carroll County 155 tests.

Test positivity rates for the region as of Sept. 1 were 1.99% in Lee County, 3.22% in Whiteside County, 10.63% in Carroll County and 10.7% in Ogle County, the IDPH dashboard showed.

Tests are not administered in Lee County by the health department, but rather by KSB Town Square Centre Lab, 101 W. Second St., Dixon. An appointment is required by calling the KSB provider’s office.

HILLSDALE FIRE On Tuesday, August 30, Hillsdale Fire was dispatched to a semi trailer fire for a fully evolved fire on Interstate 88 eastbound, around mile marker 9. Port Byron Fire was dispatched for auto-aid as well.

Upon arrival, Hillsdale Chief Tony DeCap called for additional resources from Erie Fire as well as the MABAS 39 Hazmat Team due to the type and size of the fire.

The eastbound lanes of traffic were closed by Illinois State Police for safety.

The semi trailer on fire was transporting a full load of prepackaged petroleum based products. The intense heat from

the fire caused it to spread quickly. As the product burned, it spread into the ditch on the south side, as well as the median. Crews quickly attacked and gained control of the fire using fire fighting foam to help extinguish the blaze.

MABAS crews provided additional firefighting foam, as well as containment for the spilled product. The eastbound lanes were closed for several hours as crews worked late into the night to deal with the fire and subsequent spill.

Crews from Port Byron Fire, Erie Fire, Colona Fire, Silvis Fire, Coal Valley Fire, MABAS 39 Hazmat team, Genesis Ambulance Service, Illinois State Police, and the IDOT all responded to help.

How has B.L.I.N.D. impacted your life?

B.L.I.N.D has been a big part of my life all through high school. Freshman year, coming into a new building and not knowing what to expect, my B.L.I.N.D leader was able to help me get comfortable in a new place and open myself up to many opportunities. When I applied to be a leader my junior and senior year, I knew I wanted to be the same type of B.L.I.N.D leader mine was to me. I wanted to help freshmen be comfortable and know high school is fun and not as scary as some make it out to be.

What advice would you give to freshmen that would encourage them to pursue becoming a Brenna Bell, B.L.I.N.D. Senior Leader B.L.I.N.D leader?

Becoming a B.L.I.N.D leader is an amazing experience. You get to open new doors and meet so many new people outside the community. Take advantage of this opportunity because it’s one that has changed my life for the better.

If you were given $1000, what would you do with it?

If I were given $1000, first off, I would be in disbelief because my luck has never been that good, and secondly, I would split the money, put half into a savings account

and the other half donate to charity.

If there was something you could do to change the world, what would it be?

If I do something to change the world, it would be to help minorities in the United States and help people get their voices heard by politicians and people with power in our country.

What is your claim to fame?

My claim to fame is I have been to 28 states in the United States.

IN BRIEF Local student Carter Shepherd graduates from Space Camp

Carter Shepherd of Fenton recently attended Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, home of Space Camp, Space Camp Robotics, Aviation Challenge and U.S. Cyber Camp. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is a Smithsonian affiliate and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center’s Official Visitor Center.

The weeklong educational program promotes science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), while training students with hands-on activities and missions based on teamwork, leadership and problem-solving.

The program is specifically designed for trainees who have a passion for space exploration. Carter spent the week training with a team that flew a simulated space mission to the International Space Station, the moon or Mars. The crew participated in experiments and successfully completed an extra-vehicular activity or spacewalk. Carter and crew returned to Earth in time to graduate with honors.

Space Camp is located in Huntsville, Alabama, and uses astronaut training techniques to engage trainees in real-world applications of STEM subjects. Students sleep in quarters designed to resemble the ISS and train in simulators like those used by NASA. Interested in training like an astronaut? Visit www.spacecamp. com.

The inherited condition of muscular dystrophy

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Muscular dystrophy is a term that includes inherited conditions of the muscle system that cause progressive weakness. Occasionally other organs, including the heart, will be involved.

While the condition is inherited, it may present at different stages of a person’s life based on the type of inheritance pattern, as well as the severity of the particular condition. In some settings, only males are affected. Others

affect male and female. Most of the muscular dystrophies are x-linked disorders, meaning most can transmit the conditions to their sons, even though they themselves are unaffected.

Muscular dystrophy affects about 50,000 Americans. More of these are living longer because of advances in medical care. Some will even enjoy a normal lifespan while others will develop a severe form and die in their late teens to early 20s. There are no specific treatments for the condition.

Riverdale’s Tommy Murray didn’t waste any time running away with a first place finish at the Oregon Open on Saturday.

Murray bolted from the start line and led the majority of the 5,000 meters race finishing in 16 minutes, 34 seconds, well ahead of second place finisher, Illinois Math & Science Academy’s Matthew Torres who finished in 17:01.

That time, coupled with the rest of the Rams’ times, brought a big smile to the face of Riverdale Coach Kevin Claus.

“The rest of our runners, especially our fourth and fifth, really stepped up today,” said Klaus after the 30-team event, held at Oregon Park West, just west of the Oregon High School campus.

Landis Musser finished fourth in 17:12 followed by Peyton Sand in ninth at 17:58.

The rest of the Rams were: Cameron Overton, 26th in 18:39; Cael Hinde, 39th, 19:08; Caden Ludin, 40th, 19:09; and Caleb Bollinger, 66th, 20:03.

Ag Day a hit at Riverdale Elementary School

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

A little rain may have dampened the grounds during the annual Ag Day at Riverdale Elementary School on Friday, Sept. 3, but it didn’t stop the fun, laughter, and hands-on learning.

From tractors to livestock to farming activities, local farmers and volunteers taught students about agriculture while under canopies in the field.

Now in its sixth year at Riverdale, the event is coordinated by Mike and Amy Saddoris of Port Byron and supported by school staff and Riverdale PTO. The Saddorises used to host the Ag Experience at the Rock Island County Fairgrounds as part of the Farm Bureau Young Farmers, but after that program ended, they decided to bring it to the Riverdale community.

Besides their family farm work, Amy is a 4th grade teacher at Riverdale and Mike works in the research department at Wyffels Hybrids, which supported the event by providing popcorn for the “field corn” theme, and a day off for Mike.

Daughters Sarah, a junior in college, and Emily, a sophomore at RHS, also joined in for the day of learning. “We like to do educational activities, like what you’d find on a farm,” Mike said of the family’s mission.

The classrooms rotated throughout

the day, with kindergarteners to 5th graders getting up close to learn about the animals at each station.

That was a team effort, with Wes DeClercq bringing in beef cattle, Glen Saddoris supplying three piglets, Deke and Sarah Carls bringing dairy goats and Bliss the horse, and Jane and Greg Clampitt bringing a demo bee hive and honey, which was a first this year.

Students also learned about Border Collies as herding dogs, lassoing, horseshoes, and eggs, thanks to a variety of games and activities.

Four 4-H Buccaneers Club members and nine Riverdale FFA students, plus advisor Richard Houzenga, offered plenty of helping hands. Emily Saddoris, one of the 4-Hers, was stationed at the pig pen. She talked about feedings, anatomy, and 4-H shows while the playful 6-week-old piglets had the kids laughing.

Her sister Sarah led the discussion on horses, with the kids guessing their favorite snacks, such as strawberries, carrots, and apples. “I love ag, teaching kids, giving back, and coming back for this event,” Sarah said of the day.

Superintendent Josh Temple was happy to have the event return this year. “It’s always well supported by the local community. It’s something fun to look forward to and a way to extend the classroom outside. The kids are always excited, especially seeing the livestock.”

River Bend Bulldogs drop two in home opener The River Bend Bulldogs hosted the Erie/Prophetstown Panthers in their home opener Aug. 28. With the heat index hovering around 105 degrees, the Panthers prevailed in two of the three contests.

The seventh/eighth grade Bulldogs took on a talented Panthers team and battled to a 20-14 loss. The game started with the Panthers attempting an onside kick that was negated by a penalty. The Bulldogs took their first possession down the field to the end zone. Landen Leu’s touchdown run put the Bulldogs up 6-0 after a missed extra point. On the Panthers’ opening drive, they faced a third-and-10 on their own 45 when they scored on a 55-yard

run and added a 2-point conversion for an 8-6 lead. After a successful onside kick, E/P faced another third-and-long situation. This time, the Panthers scored on a 44 yard-pass play to go ahead 14-6. Wise to the onside kick, the Bulldogs’ Brody Glazier recovered the ensuing kickoff. Unable to move the ball, the Bulldogs went into halftime trailing 14-6.

The Panthers scored late in the third quarter on a long run to take a 20-6 lead. After the fifth attempt of an onside kick by the Panthers, River Bend recovered and put together a drive that resulted in a 38-yard TD strike from Braedon Meyers to Leu. River Bend converted the 2-point attempt to close the

gap to within 20-14.

The sixth grade Bulldogs continued their winning ways with a 22-6 victory over the Panthers. The game was dominated by the Bulldogs’ offensive line, which created big holes for running backs Brayden Powell and DeAngelo Dodd. The Bulldogs defense had big plays by linebackers Easton Spooner and Victor Jackson. Both Aiden VanZuiden and Evan McWilliams had extra-point conversions on passes from Talon Meyer.

The fifth grade Bulldogs, playing their first-ever game, saw two big touchdown runs by the Panthers’ Caleb Brown decide the game. The Panthers won 14-0.
