Western Springs man killed in collision Friday in Fulton

The driver who was killed Friday morning in collision in Fulton was David H. Harkness, 81, of Western Springs in Cook County, Chief Nick Neblung said Monday.

Harkness was southbound on state Route 84 around 8:30 a.m., while Benjamin A. Daehler, 36, was northbound.

Daehler crossed the center line at 21st Avenue and struck Harkness, Neblung said.

Both men, who were alone in their vehicles, were taken to to Mercy One Hospital in Clinton, Iowa, where Harkness was pronounced dead.

Daehler, who was treated and released, was cited for improper lane usage.

Traffic reconstruction and toxicology results are pending, Neblung said.

Not every hero of the Vietnam War fired a shot or even carried a gun.

Morrison native Steve Siefken is one such hero, although it took him years to realize that, and in many ways it’s still sinking in.

Siefken, 77, was an intercept operator in the Air Force Security Service, and his job was spying on Russia, 3,800 miles away, from San Vito dei Normanni Air Station in San Vito, Italy.

Siefken will tell you that his weapon was his headphones but, arguably, it also was his intelligence, his love of country and his ability to be discreet, a skill that he retains to this day. There are aspects of his job that, 55 years later, he still won’t discuss, and confidences he won’t reveal.

Maybe that’s why he was singled out for his role, which required him, at the tender age of 19, to have top-secret clearance.

Only 1% of those who served in the Air Force Security Service were chosen for this kind of training, and only half of them made it through, he said.

Siefken, who happily gives presentations to community groups on his service, thinks he knows the secret.

“You’re not chosen for this because of your physicality, and you’re not chosen because of your mentality. I think the reason they choose you is for your loyalty,” he said. “That’s my opinion.”

And although loyalty to his country is something he has in spades, Siefken was a bit of a reluctant warrior at first.

His father, Russell Siefken Sr., was a World War II veteran who was serving on the draft board at the time, and it was a Thursday night in November 1965 at the dinner table with his mom and his older brother, Russ Jr., when his dad dropped the bombshell.

“We were sitting there eating, and he nonchalantly said to me, ‘Well, I signed your draft notice today, you’re probably going to Vietnam,’ ” Siefken said. “It wasn’t a total surprise, but it ruined the supper, let’s put it that way.”

His boss at the Whiteside Sentinel suggested that he join the Reserves, “but I decided if I was going to join the military, I was going to go all the way.”

He joined the Air Force, intending to become a clerk-typist, “and serve my four years and get out, but the government had other ideas.”

Siefken tested well in electronics during basic training, where, mysteriously, they told him they were awaiting security clearance for him, with no further explanation. Afterward, they sent him to Biloxi, Mississippi, for six months of additional training and, shortly after, he was sent to Italy with

Still, he had no clue what his job was going to be.

The first thing he saw was the antenna that he learned he would be using to listen in on the Russians. It was the latest technology of the day, and it was enormous.

“You could put Soldier Field in it seven times,” he said. “You could hear in any direction for 4,000 miles. They called them the elephant cages. They basically covered the world.”

The San Vito base was staffed by the 7275th Air Base Group and had become a primary installation March 1, 1961. It was operated by the U.S. Air Force Security Service and helped to carry out the National Security Agency’s mission to gather information and provide intelligence. The high-frequency monitoring array that Seifken used for communications intelligence was installed in 1964.

There were smaller installations with smaller antennas but only two others of that size in the world, one in England and one in Japan.

Despite that six months of training, the equipment was so high-tech that “everything was new to me. I didn’t even know what I was doing when I started,” he said.

But during his three years and four months at the station, listening, listening, listening – sometimes with eight hours of an annoying tone blaring in his ears that he just had to tolerate – working 12 days on and four days off, he learned, and he learned never to share the things he knew.

“It was important,” he said. “You had to be on your game every day,” and it never was left unmanned.

“We knew what we were protect-

ing,” he said.

His service comes to mind all the time, given the news of the day.

“It puts it into perspective what’s going on in the world now,” Siefken said. “Nothing changes. Nothing’s changed in all these years. We have the same problems with mostly the same people. We didn’t trust the Russians then, and we still don’t trust them now.

“Times are scary now, they were scary back then.”

Siefken earned four commendations during his service in Italy. It was just a sheet of paper “with maybe three or four lines of type,” commending him for achieving his mission, which doesn’t sound like much, he said, “but that was pretty good praise, and when the flight commander came out and presented it to you, you knew you’d done your job.

“That’s how I qualified for the Honor Flight. I didn’t carry a gun. My weapon was my headphones. ... It was a Cold War. “There was never a shot fired, but it was a war, and people don’t realize all the stuff that was protected. We didn’t realize until years after the service how important it was what we did.”

There’s no monument for the veterans of the Cold War, no acknowledgment from the government of their service, and likely never will be, but that’s one of the reasons it’s important for veterans to tell their stories, he said.

“We should be telling these stores to our families, our grandkids, our neighbors, anybody – tell those stories so that history is remembered,” Siefken said.

These days, that’s just what he is

doing – to the extent that he feels he can.

Siefken is happy to share not only what he can about his service but also the joy and the pride he felt taking the 55th Whiteside County Honor Flight with two of his close friends, Stan Buckwalter and Harry Adams, and his dad’s Army cap.

“I think it made it more enjoyable and meaningful to have friends there,” he said. “I had my dad’s hat with all his medals. He never got to go on the Honor Flight, so I took his hat and had a picture taken at the WWII monument. That’s all I could do for him.”

That experience also is part of his presentation and fuels his passion for encouraging all veterans to take the free, one-day trip to Washington, D.C. Many veterans, especially those like him who did not serve in a war zone, think for some reason that they don’t deserve to go. Siefken said he vehemently disagrees.

“Everybody qualifies for the Honor Flight in a different way,” he said.

“Everybody who went is a hero, not in the sense of bravery but in the sense that they went, they served.”

Seeing those monuments to sacrifice is more meaningful than veterans might realize, Siefken said.

“It reaffirms your faith in America and mankind. It makes you feel like your life was worthwhile,” he said.

When people thank him for his service, Siefken always replies “it was my pleasure.”

“It wasn’t my duty,” he said. “It was a pleasure to do that for my country.”

When he came home to Morrison, Siefken met and fell in love with the girl across the street, Derkein, or Deeny, whose family came to America from the Netherlands when she was 7.

They married in 1972.

He got his job back at the paper, where he had started working in 1964, and he was head pressman there for 45 years. He still is associated with the paper for what will be 60 years in June.

He and Deeny had two boys and a girl and now have eight grandchildren.

He said he’ll pass his history on to them for sure.

“It’s a story to tell, I guess,” Siefken said with a chuckle. “It’s my life story, my only redeeming factor outside my family and my kids.”

Then a little more reflectively, he said, “I was fortunate I did what I did.

The more I tell this story, the more I realize I had a life.”

To hear Siefken’s presentation

Steve Siefken can be reached by phone at 815-564-8973. He is available and delighted to speak to high school classes and community groups and at veterans events.

WWII Marine takes part in Lyndon Historical Society’s salute to veterans

By EARLENE HINTON

ehinton@shawmedia.com LYNDON – Ken Pifke enlisted with the Marines right out of high school in 1942 with the intent to become a pilot.

But when his depth perception didn’t allow him to be trained as a pilot his skills were put to use in another very important way to help the war effort.

“I enlisted while I was senior in high school and I joined right after graduation in July 1942,” said Pifke, 99, of Lyndon. “I always wanted to be a Marine.”

“He really wanted to be a pilot, but he didn’t pass the depth perception test,” said Kris Bielema, his daughter.

When the Marine Corps saw that Pifke had metal working skills, he was deployed to the South Pacific to work at a base in New Hebrides.

“When they found out I had machine shop skills and could use a metal lathe they put me to work on repairs,” said the Elmwood Park, Illinois native. “My job was maintaining airplanes – wings,

landing gear – whatever they needed.”

He remembers working on F4U Corsairs – a fighter plane, and the TBF Avenger – a torpedo bomber developed initially for the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

“The TBFs were a slower plane that had a lot of carrier power and that made them very vulnerable,” he said.

Pifke excelled at his job, becoming a Master Tech Sergeant at the age of 20.

He served until December 1945 when he returned home to help his mom back in Elmwood Park.

“It was quite an experience,” he said remembering his service maintaining aircraft. “I met some wonderful people.

I wanted to stay in, but my mom was a widow. My duty was to take care of mom.”

Pifke, who will celebrate his 100th birthday on Jan. 3, moved to Prophetstown in 1989 to be near his daughter, Kris, who had moved to Lyndon in 1987.

Morrison veteran presented with Quilt of Valor

Photos by Earleen Hinton

The Lyndon Area Historical Society hosted its eighth annual Salute to Area Veterans on Sunday, Nov. 12. The display featured biographies and photos of Lyndon-area veterans.

One of the displays at the Lyndon Area Historical Society’s eighth annual Salute to Area Veterans on Sunday, Nov. 12, was “The Missing Man Table.” The display is a tribute for all servicemen and women who are missing in action. The table conveys that all MIAs are present in spirit. Pictured at right is a display honoring Prophetstown native Dennis Eads, who was serving with the Army during the Vietnam War when the helicopter he and another officer were piloting was shot down on April 23, 1970. A subsequent patrol could not find the crash site or the two men.

• WWII MARINE Continued from Page 4 Pifke reflected on his time with the Marines as he carefully touched the medals and patches that grace his original Marine uniform that was on display at the Lyndon Area Historical Society’s Salute to Veterans on Sunday.

“I had a Marine dress uniform tailor-made for me, but I never got to wear it,” he recalled. “After I had it

made, another Marine asked if he could wear it home and I let him borrow it and he never gave it back.”

Pifke was one of 80 veterans honored with displays of their service at the annual open house.

Each display included a short family history and background of the veteran as well as personal items such as basic training photos and orders to

report.

In the sanctuary, “The Missing Man Table” was displayed honoring fallen, missing or imprisoned military service members.

This year’s display honored Dennis Keith Eads, a Prophetstown pilot who remains on the Missing in Action List after his helicopter was shot down in South Vietnam on April 23,

1970.

The Lyndon Area Historical Society is located in the former Lyndon Congregational Church at 405 Fourth St. W. Regular hours are from 1 to 3 p.m.

6 GLIMPSES OF THE PAST – FULTON

2003: Lady Steamers volleyball team headed to state 60 Years

Nov. 13, 1963

Growing enthusiasm for the development of the river front at Fulton was evident. It was agreed that three representatives will be chosen from the Sportmen’s Club, three from the Recreation Corporation and three from the Business Men’s Association to form a steering committee for the project with Harold Wierenga as acting chairman. The first step was to have an inspection of the area by a representative of the Illinois Department of Conservation to determine what assistance may be expected from the state in developing recreational areas along the river.

Milton Heusinkveld, well known Fulton electrical contractor, dies suddenly. He was employed at Al’s Electric Service in Morrison for many years before coming to Fulton in July of 1955 and establishing his own electrical contracting business. He was a member of Trinity Reformed Church where he served as Elder and Superintendent of the Sunday School. He was a member of the Fulton Business Men’s Association and was a former member of the Lions Club.

50 Years

Nov. 14, 1973

Fulton High School seniors Jill Bentrup, Jim Kinney, Linda Kraft and Barbara Workman, have been named Illinois State Scholars by the Illinois State Scholarship Commission in the 1974-75 State Scholar Program. Students are chosen on the basis of scores on the qualifying examination and secondary school achievement

records. The State Scholar Program identifies students’ academic achievement and the potential for success in college in the future.

The proposal to form a Park District for Fulton was voted down by a decisive 227 vote margin in a special election. The unusually large turnout of voters surprised even the most enthusiastic partisans in the widely publicized contest. The vote was 713 “against” the park district and 486 “for.” Mrs. Mask, one of the leaders in the campaign, and her committee expect to continue to work for better parks and recreational facilities in every way possible.

40 Years

Nov. 16, 1983

Six Fulton Steamers won All-Conference honors when the coaches made their selections. Dave Huizenga won double honors when he was selected for first team offensive end and second team defensive lineman.

Dave Foster was selected as first team end along with Rich Higgins in a backfield spot on first team. Mark Obright was selected second team defensive tackle along with Rod Whitmore, who was selected second team linebacker.

Greg Loehr was selected as a defensive back on the second team.

The River Bend School District Board of Education will continue to be headed by a woman, as a result of the election of Mrs. Gary Orman to succeed Mrs. William Mask who headed the board for the last two years.

Orman was voted by a vote of four to three after the new board had been organized. Robert Dykema was

reelected as secretary. Two new board members were also elected, James Dannels of Albany and James Fish of Fulton.

30 Years

Nov. 10, 1993

Lockhart & Law Ins. of Fulton, has been honored by Farmer’s Mutual Hail Insurance Co. of Iowa’s Million Dollar Club, for achievement in writing crop hail insurance in 1993. Lockhart & Law Ins. once again was recognized for attaining over a million dollars in production, and Randy Law’s name is inscribed on the company’s permanent Million Dollar Club plaque displayed at the home office in Des Moines, Iowa.

Fulton has a new dance studio.

Each Monday about 30 students ages three to 18 make their way to L & A Dance Factory for lessons in ballet, tap and jazz. Classes are taught by Lee Adami and Amy Schaefer. Adami trained with the Royal Ballet in England and later formed her own dance troupe which performed in Spain, Portugal and Africa. She has also been involved in Timberlake Playhouse. Schaefer danced for many years in Morrison, trained as a student teacher, then joined a studio in Mt. Pleasant as a teacher.

20 Years

Nov. 12, 2003

Fulton Steamers volleyball team is headed to state, making it the first time that a volleyball team from Fulton has ever accomplished that goal.

Lady Steamers came out strong in game one proving their talents. The

Fulton girls won a thrilling 25-15, 11-25, 25-23 victory over the West Prairie Cyclones.

Rebecca L. Huizenga, Attorney at Law, has returned to her hometown to practice law. She received her license to practice law in November of 2001.

She was previously in private practice in Oregon. Huizenga said she had considered returning to Fulton to practice straight out of law school, but felt it would be better to gain some practical experience working in an established law office first. The new law firm is located at 1006 Fourth Street, Fulton.

Fulton Meat Market is celebrating 30 years in business. As part of the celebration, Fulton Meat Market is giving away 30 gift cards valued at $30 each, and offering super specials, free food and more!

The much anticipated new addition of Sweet Woodruff opened Oct. 31.

Owner Wendy Ottens and her husband Phil spent many long hours working on the renovation. Sweet Woodruff now spans the main floor of two downtown buildings, 1100 and 1102 Fourth St. Wendy and Phil did much of the work themselves, but also had lots of help. She could not have done this without the support of her staff: Suzee Hayenga, Nicole Letcher and Teresa Ray.

YOUR HEALTH

The Polynesian response to the balance of life is discussed

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Modern civilization has been criticized for its fast pace “Type A” response to life. This may lead to a disconnect from the things that are important, essential, and enjoyable in life and taken over by the inability to keep up with the demands and needs of a high paced society.

The balance of life, according to the Polynesian way, is captured in a book

by Paul Pearsall, PhD, titled The Pleasure Prescription. Polynesia refers to a group of islands in the Pacific that include Hawaii, Tahiti, and others. He describes the key ingredients to the pleasure prescription in five Polyne-

sia words.

• Ahonui, meaning patience which is to be practiced with perseverance.

Tolerance is an important feature allowing others their own way to develop, which may be far different than yours. Equanimity is a peaceful acceptance that helps one not to be disturbed by events beyond their control.

Together these two traits help strengthen immunity and lead to happiness.

• Lokahi, which is unity expressed harmoniously. This connectedness leads to a healthier and happier heart.

• Olu’Olu, is known as agreeableness. This is a pleasant expression noting the greatest barrier to health, hap-

piness and longevity is expressing one’s anger and hostility. Some might argue this is the free-floating expression of irritability and anger, rather than a purpose driven awareness.

Either way, cultivating the ability to get along in relationships helps to overcome the downside.

• Ha’aha’a is humbleness and modesty. It is a form of selflessness, leads to mental and physical hardiness. It is connected with healing oneself and others in the environment.

• Akahai is a type of gentleness and tenderness expressed in the power of sharing. Such expressions also bolster one’s immunity.

One of the basic features is a sense

of shortage of time, along with an aggressiveness and an irritability when others move a slower pace than yourself. There is also a lack of respect for the environment and animals. Dr. Pearsall cites three questions of maturity: Are you living fully? Are you loving totally? Are you letting go completely?

Pearsall also distinguishes between healthy and unhealthy addiction. He notes, addictions are natural and even unavoidable. The healthy addiction is controlled, does not develop tolerance, has a sense that enough is enough, is energizing and enhances relation-

Part of the Polynesian process is the art of listening with relations building to avoid the SAADD process. No sarcasms, accusations, assumptions, demands or demeaning. Relationships also benefit with a ratio of five compliments for every criticism.

While these traits have been practiced by many cultures over time, those that have retained them seem to feel better with their health and wellbeing.

Although the following seems in contrast, it is really just another way to look at pleasure and happiness.

Some researchers have tried to distinguish between pleasure and happiness. There are several key characteristics, such as: • Pleasure in general is short mood, happiness is long-term.

• Pleasure is full in the body, happiness is with the mind and reflection.

• Pleasure is taking something from something else, such as winning the lottery, whereas happiness is giving to

a charity or contributing to the community.

• Pleasure may be achieved alone, but happiness occurs with social groups and friends.

• Pleasure can be achieved with substances, but happiness cannot.

• Pleasure in the extreme may lead to addiction, whereas happiness will not provide pleasure is driven by dopamine, and happiness is driven by serotonin. These various chemicals impact different parts of the brain in much different ways.

• POLYNESIAN RESPONSE Continued from Page 6 ships. Some common signs of over focus contributing to delight deficiency is constantly reflecting on work and adding hours to the workday. Often accompanying this is drug or alcohol abuse to escape from stress, a chaotic family life, as well as a tendency to postpone vacations. There is often inability to laugh at oneself and the narrowing down of one’s interest.

A healthy exercise to change our focus is to spend an entire day without using the “I” pronoun. The connectedness that many Polynesians have

Festival of Trees decks the halls at Northland Mall explained the story behind it. The tree was created in memory of Marlo Carroll, who died in March. The tree features Minnie Mouse ornaments blended with trimmings featuring Carroll’s love of dogs.

Two nearby tabletop friendship trees also were donated and decorated

by Cox: one with Santas for Carroll’s father, Jack, who died in December, another in memory of Larry Spinka, her niece’s father-in-law.

“I just love to make people happy,” Cox said. “I love to share joy and happiness with everyone, and give back.”

By CHARLENE BIELEMA

cbielema@shawmedia.com STERLING – Featuring everything from gnomes and Santas to barn animals and the Grinch, the 34th annual Festival of Trees began Thursday, Nov. 9, at Northland Mall in Sterling.

The fundraiser for Rock River Hospice and Home, which runs through Nov. 19, is showcasing more than 70 decorated Christmas trees – some resting on tabletops, others standing tall – to help provide hospice care to patients in financial need.

“It’s our biggest fundraiser of the year,” said Nicci Wright, Rock River Hospice and Home’s marketing and development director. “The funds raised go toward helping families that need hospice care, helping the patient.

We don’t want someone not to receive services if they don’t have the funds.

The funds raised with us help us to be able to provide care at no cost to the patient.”

Silent bids have begun for the adorned trees of all sizes and various themes set up throughout the mall.

Attendees can vote for their favorite trees decorated by school organizations and sponsored by local businesses, organizations and individuals.

About the festival

A crowd favorite, the Country Store in the mall, will be stocked full of festive gifts, décor, handmade items and delicious baked goods and will be open throughout the event, Wright said.

Starting Tuesday, musicians and dancers will perform during the festival. Breakfast with Santa will be from 9 to 11 a.m. Nov. 18 for a $5 suggested donation, and the Grinch will make an appearance that day. Rock-Star Donuts will be at the event, and there will be ponies wearing reindeer antlers Nov. 18 outside of the mall.

Cheesekake Ko. will be at the event both weekends, Wright said.

The Ancestor Project

Lawrence Edward Anderson

By SOPHIE ANDERSON My grandpa loves fishing. He has won many rewards in his life and hopes to win more. His life has not always been easy though. My grandpa loves his family. He also enjoys supporting others. But, his days are not all easy. My grandpa is an amazing grandpa because of the experiences of his childhood, because of the experiences of his adult life, and his retirement.

Lawrence Edward Anderson is an amazing grandpa because of his childhood. Larry is my paternal grandpa. Larry was born in April on the 21, 1949. He was born in Morrison. His dad was Elmer William Anderson and his mom was Kathryn Marie Anderson. He has two siblings, one brother and one sister. He is the oldest. Then Danny, his brother and my great uncle, was the middle child. The youngest was Patricia, my great aunt.

My grandpa went to three different schools: Erie, Prophetstown, and Fenton. He went to Erie, Prophetstown, and Fenton for elementary school. Prophetstown when he was five to six-years-old. He went to Fenton when he was seven- to eight-years-old and came back when he was 12-years-old. He went to Erie when he was nine, and then again when he was 14-years-old. His dad sadly left my grandpa, his mom, his brother, and sister. My grandpa graduated from Erie. He graduated high school in 1967.

My grandpa only made a couple friends at each school. This was because he was moving so much.

He made most of his friends in high school.

One time my grandpa and his brother got something stuck in a tree. His brother had a “brilliant”

idea to throw a brick at the tree. The brick came down and hit my grandpa in the head. He recovered, but it was something he would never forget.

One thing my grandpa started to enjoy when he was younger was hunting and fishing. He loves hunting and fishing. As you can see, Lawrence Edward Anderson is an amazing grandpa due to the experiences of his childhood.

Not only did Larry’s childhood affect who he was, but so did his adult life. He married Patty Ann Ogle at the age of 21. He has only been married one time and is still married to her. He has three kids.

Bradley Wayne Anderson, my uncle who is the oldest; Lori Michelle Anderson, my aunt, who is the middle child; and, Brett William Anderson, my dad.

He had all three kids with Patty Ann Ogle. He had Brad when he was 23, Lori when he was 26, and Brett when he was 35.

My grandpa has had many jobs but he worked at John Deere Harvester for 42 years.

When my dad would try to sleep, my cousins Trey and Brady would fight. My grandpa would try to separate them but it didn’t work so my grandpa would go get my dad. When my dad was woken up, it wouldn’t be good. My dad would yell at Trey and Brady and he would sit them in two different rooms.

Then my dad would go back to sleep.

Another thing about Larry is he loves to fish; he started fishing and seeing his friends more. His friends are Don, Darrell, and Phil. He started getting sick more often. One day I remember having a birthday party and my grandma came running over crying saying my grandpa was in the hospital.

My grandpa loves potatoes. He also likes chocolate and vanilla cake. He loves going to Missouri to see family and to hunt and fish. He mostly hunts deer and turkey. It is obvious Lawrence’s adult life helped to make him an amazing grandpa.

Lawrence Edward Anderson has had many experiences that have shaped the person he is yet today.

My grandpa has many health problems now that he

is older. He is diabetic, has COPD, he had COVID-19 and almost died. He has pancreatitis. He also had one of his lungs pop. He has been in the hospital for three months at one time. But, overall he has probably been in the hospital for at least one year. Now he has to go to the hospital at least one time every two weeks, if not even more.

My grandpa loves reading books and he also likes doing crossword puzzles. Sometimes I do crossword puzzles with him. He also enjoys watching TV, taking naps, and seeing his grandchildren and his kids. He loves watching his grandkids participate in sports. He likes watching movies with us and overall he likes spending time with his grandkids. He still likes going hunting and fishing as well, but only when it’s warm out. My grandpa, dad and I will go out on the boat and fish. Usually once a year my dad, my uncle, and my grandpa will go to Missouri to hunt. Sometimes just my grandpa and dad go.

My grandpa also likes going to church on Sundays. Speaking of church, he was also baptized a couple years ago. Now they live on Cordova Road in Erie.

My grandpa also goes to fishing competitions with his friends Don, Darrell, and Phil. He and his friends have won many awards. They sometimes will also all go out to eat lunch together. The many accomplishments and activities of Lawrence Edward Anderson have helped to shape who he is yet today.

This project made me open my eyes. I learned so much about my grandpa from doing this project. I learned that he was alive during multiple wars, the Korean War and Vietnam. He also went to three different schools. I thought he only went to Erie. He is also pretty good at baking.

I think we are a lot closer now that I have done this project. I also realized how lucky I am to have a dad that comes to everything I do. You also have to live outside your comfort zone a little bit and try new things. I think this is an amazing project because you learn so, so many things you might not have known before. If I wouldn’t have done this project I might not have known some very important things about this person that I do now. This is why this project is so amazing and important. This project was a great experience.

Lawrence Edward Anderson, my paternal grandpa, is an amazing grandpa. Lawrence Edward Anderson’s childhood contributed to the amazing grandpa he is. Additionally, his adult life also impacted the person he is. Yet today he continues to show how amazing of a grandpa he is. There are fathers who do not love their children; there is no grandfather who does not adore his grandchildren (Victor Hugo).

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 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 long-time 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 all will enjoy their stories, too!

Through a submission process, Gapinski’s Get Up and Dance! session proposal was selected to be a part of the summit, taking place March 13-17, 2024.

The workshop session will be part of the Healthy Living category, where participants will explore stretching, mindfulness, and hip-hop dance styles in an approachable and

inviting environment.

Youth wishing to partake in this opportunity are encouraged to apply to be one of 15 Illinois delegates whose travel and summit expenses will be covered with support from the IL 4-H Foundation. Applications are due by Dec. 9.

Give back during the Days of Giving campaign starting Dec. 1 Join Carroll-Lee-Whiteside Extension in giving back this holiday season through the 12 Days of Giving.

Favorite foods are an important part of the holiday season, often connected to comfort and memories.

During this season of giving, you can make a positive impact on the life of our neighbors in need by donating items that warm and nourish families through our 12 Days of Giving cam-

paign.

The campaign is planned with the goal of encouraging people to donate items that will support the health and well-being of families accessing our local food pantries, as well as providing education on the importance of healthy food donations. The food we eat plays a large role in health and impacts whether families can lead an active, healthy life.

Communities with higher rates of food insecurity have been shown to have higher rates of diet related chronic diseases when compared to national rates. Chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease cause seven out of 10 deaths in the U.S. We all have a role to play in getting food to our neighbors in need by supplying healthier food options this season to our food pantries.

Education to encourage people to donate healthy food items to local pantries will also be shared on social media.

To participate, you can add each of the 12 daily items and deliver it to a pantry near you. Visit go.illinois.edu/ clwfoodpantries for the daily items and a list of food pantries.
