Jennifer of Naples, Florida passed away unexpectedly of natural causes on July 20, 2025, in her home at age 76.
Mom was born November 9, 1948, in Walla Walla Washington to William Salsbury and Virginia (Butz) Jacobson. Jennifer lived the majority of her life in Southwest Florida finally deciding on beautiful Naples to hang her many hats!
Jennifer was a light that shone brightly anywhere she went.
Always upbeat and joyful to all around her.
Jennifer graduated from RTHS, class of 1966. “The class that lights the wicks”! Jennifer had many friends in high school whom she stayed close with up to her passing. Apparently she was quite the track star to which I was regaled stories of on many occasions. Jennifer had a keen eye for business at an early age. She focused on beauty, real estate, and retail, ex-
ing, sunbathing, and watching movies. She will be remembered for her strong work ethic, her firm but loving guidance, and the deep love she shared with her family and friends.
She is survived by her five children, Cheryl (Kelly) Ciuffreda, Becky (Steve) Stults, Kathy (Mike) Burright, Esther (Bob) Mongan and Cliff Blake; 10 grandchildre,n Tawnya (David) Osborne, Brian Ciuffreda, Randy (Kelli) Bailey, Karine Bailey, Jenna Rude, Justin and Kelley (Smith) Rude, Andrew (Karla) Martin, Brooke (Mason) Huckabay, Marah Blake, Cooper Blake; and eight bonus grandchildren, Jason Stults, Clayton (Adam) Hundt, Mark Stults, Brent (Cassie) Buright, Ted Gesin, Jacob (Kaitlyn) Mongan, Dylan Mongan and Hannah Hobbs. She was also blessed with 19 great-grandchildren, with two more on the way.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Barry Moore, and her parents. The family encourages friends to honor Joan by spending time with loved ones.
A celebration of life will be held on September 27, 2025, at the Mount Morris Moose Club, from 4 to 8 p.m.
celling at each endeavor. Jennifer had a strong work ethic but also loved life and family. She was an active swimmer, moviegoer and overseer of high fashion. Her home was always welcoming of family and friends. Jennifer loved socializing and finding the “fun” spots around Naples.
Her laughter and smile will never be forgotten.
Jennifer is survived by Matthew Allen and Beth Mihok, her devoted children. Siblings, Randy & Kim Salsbury of Rochelle, Steve & Diane Salsbury of Geneva, Judy Asbury of Ashton, and Tony Jacobson of Naples, FL.
Also, David R. Allen, her first husband of Rochelle, Dawn Stanfield and Mason Gage, my anchors of Cape Coral, FL, Granddaughter Jenna Glinos of Naples, FL, Grandsons Jake Allen of Anchorage AK, and John Mihok of Orlando, FL. Several nieces and nephews and their children spread throughout the U.S. - all loved by Jennifer. Two great - grandchildren, Kingston and Luka.

Bison, birds, plants all part of Nachusa Grasslands’ fall festival
By EARLEEN HINTON
Shaw Local News Network correspondent
The Nachusa Grasslands was teeming with life Saturday, Sept. 20, with the 4,100-acre site showcasing its flora and fauna during the annual Autumn on the Prairie fall festival.
Hundreds of people visited the event on Lowden Road, southeast of Oregon near Franklin Grove, as volunteers and staff offered tours and standing displays where everyone could learn more about the prairie and its inhabitants.
More than a dozen guided hiking tours focusing on everything Grasslands – wildflowers, grassland birds, plants – complemented a tent where kids could see aspects of the prairie ecosystem and touch hides and seed pods.
Friends of the Nachusa Grasslands President Bernie Buccholz led almost 20 people on the “Prairie Meets Savanna” hike, explaining how former cropland is being restored alongside the oak savanna, which borders sandstone rock outcroppings and a recovering wetland.
Other events helped explain the complex interactions that create and maintain the prairie, highlighting how all the plants, insects, and animals make Nachusa ”a remarkable and unique place”.
A live birds of prey display, offered by the Northern Illinois Raptor Rehab and Education, also gave visitors an opportunity to see owls, falcons and hawks up close.
But the big draw was the prairie’s biggest resident, the bison.
Volunteer guides rode with trailers full of visitors out onto the prairie for a chance to see the bison up close.
“There’s a very big bull right there. He probably weighs around 1,700 pounds,” one of the guides told his trailer full of camera-clicking visitors.
With a little encouragement from edible treats, a large portion of the 100or-so herd – including bulls, cows and their calves – politely watched as a steady stream of tractors and trucks pulled the trailers past them around 250 yards west from the visitor center.
The 4,100-acre Nachusa Grasslands is owned and operated by the Nature Conservancy.
The Friends of Nachusa Grasslands is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2008 by volunteers dedicated to providing for the long–term care and management of the grasslands.
The Grasslands “consists of large remnant prairie, woodlands and wet -
lands being reconnected through habitat restoration to create one of the largest and most biologically diverse grasslands in Illinois,” the Friends of Nachusa Grasslands website says.
“Working hand in hand with conservancy staff, a dynamic community of volunteer stewards collect and plant seeds; manage invasive species; repair wetlands; and conduct controlled burns in order to preserve, protect and share this precious endangered ecosystem.”
Autumn on the Prairie takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the third Saturday in September. Next year’s date is Sept. 19. For information, visit nachusagrasslands.org.

Trump Derangement Syndrome explained
Trump derangement syndrome is an affliction of mostly the leftists in the country. TDS can be defined as a personal behavior where one views everything that Trump does as bad. For instance, if the current president discovered a cure for cancer, ended all the wars around the world, or eliminated poverty, many of our leftist brethren would find negativity in these accomplishments, insisting that he should also have cured heart disease or diabetes.
TDS has its origin with the columnist and psychiatrist, Charles Krauthammer, who coined the term Bush derangement syndrome during the George W. Bush administration. He defined the syndrome as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies.” The term has evolved from “Obama Derangement Syndrome” (2008) and “Clinton Derangement Syndrome” (2016), resulting in today’s TDS.
According to psychologist Dr. Brad Brenner of the Therapy Group DC, TDS
Chuck Roberts VIEWS
“is a partisan insult, not a psychiatric diagnosis” based on his review of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM5). Just because TDS is not listed as a disorder does not necessarily mean it does not exist. For instance, in DSM-5, the diagnosis of “gender identity disorder” was changed to “gender dysphoria” in 2013, making it a diagnosis with less of a stigma. At that time, there were no breakthroughs in treating this disorder, suggesting that the change in DSM-5 could be characterized as political in nature.
A bill in the Ohio legislature was introduced to require the National Institute of Health to study TDS concerning this toxic state of mind that has divided
the country and has led to violence across the country, including assassination attempts on the current president. The research goal is to identify the basic cause and identify solutions. The Minnesota Legislature is reviewing a bill to classify TDS as a mental illness and add it to the amended statutes as a legal definition. It would be interesting to see if the definition of TDS is included in the next version of DSM if this legislation passes.
Dr. Brenner said that TDS may be taking a toll on a person’s physiology as indicated by these four characteristics. Struggling to disconnect from political news might lead to irritability, so take a step back.
Take control over what information is coming to you. For example, when scrolling through Facebook, if you pause and read about a particular topic, more content related to that subject matter will be sent to you. If you stop at a specific political page, then expect more political posts to be sent to you.
If political conversation increases another person’s anger, don’t engage. Political discussions may result in the loss of friendships with others, so Brenner advises choosing how much energy one desires to invest in these discussions.
Finally, if a person experiences headaches or trouble sleeping, these are signs that political stress is taking a toll. Brenner offers three guideposts:
• Be self-aware by noticing how you react to political discussions, such as changes in mood, a racing heart and “spiraling” thoughts.
• Manage your emotions by stepping away from the politics and doing something enjoyable like taking a walk, cooking, going for a swim – anything that brings calm to your psychological well-being.
• Talk to a psychiatrist.

Milledgeville pulls away from Polo in Battle of the Blacktop
By TY REYNOLDS sports@saukvalley.com
A defensive slugfest turned into a one-sided second half in the annual Battle for the Blacktop game between Milledgeville and Polo.
After the Marcos scored on the first drive of the second half, the Missiles scored three unanswered touchdowns after a fourth-down stop early in the fourth quarter to pull away for a 28-6 victory Friday night in Polo.
Milledgeville (4-0) used big plays to reach the end zone. Kyson Francis threw scoring strikes of 33 and 49 yards to Karter Livengood and 18 yards to Spencer Nye. Evan Schenck added a 42-yard touchdown run with 1:52 to play, breaking several tackles after he looked to be stopped about five yards downfield.
“The first half started off rough; I missed some wide-open targets. In the second half, I got comfortable and started throwing the ball better,” said Francis, who finished 7-for-14 passing for 161 yards and an interception. “My receivers run great routes, and I can always trust them to get open.”
then capped an eight-play drive with a 1-yard TD run with 7:49 left in the third quarter.
The Marcos then forced a three-andout and drove 40 yards in 10 plays, but JT Stephenson’s fourth-down completion to Mumford came up 1 yard shy of the first down, and the Missiles took over.
Francis capped a 13-play, 63-yard drive with the 18-yard TD pass to Nye on fourth-and-8 to make it 16-6 with 5:48 left in the game. It was the second scoring pass on fourth down; the Missiles converted on fourth-and-22 with the 33-yard TD pass late in the first quarter for an 8-0 lead.
“That fourth-down stop was huge,” Francis said. “We can really keep our composure, and that’s a big part of our team. We never get nervous in those big situations.”
After increasing the lead to 10, Nye recovered his own onside kick, and the next play was the 49-yard bomb to Livengood to push the lead to 22-8 just 13 seconds later.
“I have a lot of confidence in our
Polo (3-1) looked like it had seized the momentum to start the second half.
