Teacher reads to children during free lunch program School. “I want the students to continue to read in the summertime.�

Wednesday, a small group of students surrounded Whitlock as she read different books to them. They also spent time painting pictures. “So many times, there is not enough time in the classroom for instruction and activity,� Whitlock said. “I’m trying to get the students to where they read a book and it has meaning. I hope this can grow over time.�

Whitlock has been a teacher for 16 years, the last 11 at Merrill. She has taught in Sterling and Dixon.

After she read to the students, she gave them a book to take home. “A lot of the books were my own children’s books,

ROCK FALLS – Jan Whitlock has created her very own outdoor classroom.

Every Wednesday for the past month, Whitlock has been reading books to elementary school students outside the Coloma Homes meeting room, at 401 W. 18th St., during a session of the “Let’s Feed Our Children� free summer lunch program.

Although area students have been spending the summer months away from the classroom, Whitlock said she wants them to keep their minds active over the long break. “I just have a drive and interest in doing a program for the kids,� said Whitlock, a special education teacher at Merrill

and a lot of them I have bought over the years and I kept in my classroom,�

Whitlock said. “I want the students to have reading material throughout the summer. A lot of times, students don’t have access to a library over the summer.�

Students and parents say they appreciate the effort Whitlock has put forth. “I think this is awesome and great,� said Amy Scott of Rock Falls. “It’s a learning experience for the students. I think this is really cool.�

Scott’s daughter, 6-year-old Katalina, who will be a first-grader at Dillon Elementary School in Rock Falls, said she enjoyed having Whitlock read to her. “It’s great,� Katalina

DEKALB

Where have all the monarchs gone?

They only lay eggs on milkweed, which is rapidly thinning

BY KATIE DAHLSTROM kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com Shaw Media

DeKALB – The thought that her grandchildren might never see a monarch butterfly terrifies Mary Kowalski.

So she’s nurturing five monarch caterpillars she found on the milkweed plants outside her DeKalb home in hopes they will transform into the iconic orange-andblack-winged insects.

Kowalski’s fears aren’t far-fetched, some local experts say.

Monarch butterflies make a remarkable journey from the upper Midwest to Mexico every year, but the number of monarchs measured in Mexico has declined by 97 percent since its peak less than 20 years ago, say scientists with the World Wildlife Fund that measures the population annually.

The decline has prompted local conservationists and residents to bolster supplies of milkweed, the plant crucial to mon-

Tim Keller is particularly cautious to protect the milkweed (foreground), which young monarch butterflies use as a food source, as he and Camilo Quintana restore prairie land July 10 on the Sauk Valley Community College campus. Milkweed is quickly fading, putting the monarch population at risk. arch survival that also has been disappearing.

But it’s not just what’s happening to monarchs that has them concerned. “I’m concerned about our world,� Kowalski said. “They used to send a canary into a coal mine and, if it died, they knew there was poison gas. Is this our canary in a coal mine?�

Doty said. “But this is happening to a lot of other pollinators. No pollinators, no food.�

happening to monarchs is happening to other insects. We just can’t track them.�

Scientists measure the monarch population by observing how much area they cover in overwintering sites in Mexico.

According to Monarch Watch, when measured this winter, monarchs covered 1.65 acres, a dismal figure compared to the 51.8 acres they covered at their peak in the

winter of 1997. “We don’t think they’ll ever achieve the numbers they once had,� Miller said. “The good thing, though, about insects is they can produce at rapid rates.�

Monarchs exclusively lay their eggs on milkweed, because it provides all the nutrients the black, white and yellow banded caterpillars need. After they mature into butterflies, they will migrate thousands of miles to Mexico, Miller said.

However, Miller explained, milkweed plants are disappearing because of things such as modern farming practices. Milkweed previously thrived along fence rows or among corn and soybean fields. But milkweed has been a victim of advancements in herbicides and disappearing fencerows, Miller said.

Ensuring milkweed survives so monarchs can thrive is far from farmers’ minds, said Russ Higgins, an educator at the University of Illinois Extension farm in Waterman.

Allowing milkweed can decrease a farmer’s crop yield with very little payoff, he said.

While beautiful, monarchs are not prolific pollinators. Even if they were, corn and soybeans don’t require pollination.

DIXON | STREETSCAPE PROJECT

What a ‘beautiful mess’ Less access means less foot traffic for some businesses

BY MATT MENCARINI

DIXON – For more than 2 months, roads downtown have been blocked off, and construction equipment and holes have filled the streets.

But many businesses have remained open as the downtown streetscape project entered its ninth week this week, the first that saw a section of road reopen.

Some business owners have seen a drop-off in customers and others, with more years under their belt and more regular customers, have been able to maintain business, despite the limited access from the main roads.

At least one business, J&J Household Furnishings, 223 W. First St., has closed during the work. A sign in the front door window on Thursday read, “Closed due to construction. Will reopen when done.�

Venier’s Jewelry Store, 117 W. First St., owned Mike Venier, was among the first businesses to see some of their street reopened to traffic, when the south side of First Street, between Hennepin and Galena avenues, was finished last week. “It’s gone pretty smoothly,� Venier said. “I can’t say that we were adversely affected at all. We were maybe 4 hours without a sidewalk [at one point].�

Venier’s store is on the east side of the $6.1 million project, which was approved by the City Council in May. The city contracted Wendler Engineering Services Inc. and Willett, Hofmann & Associates, for a combined $321,000, to provide the engineering work and design for the project.

Fischer Excavating Inc. of Freeport is being paid nearly $5.8 million for the construction work, which began the week of May 20. A portion of that will be paid for by KSB Hospital for work to a parking lot off Ottawa Avenue.

Jeff Kuhn, commissioner of streets and public improvements, said the business owners he’s talked to understand the situation. “They’ve all been very supportive,� he said. “They realize that it’s going to be a headache for them, and

they might be losing a little business. And they look at the final project and that it will be worth it.�

The rest of First Street, between Galena and Hennepin avenues, could be opened within a week, Kuhn said, and Peoria Avenue, between Second and Third streets, could reopen soon after that.

Justin Meyers, owner of Effervesce Vapors, 112 S. Peoria Ave., said progress has been steady, and from what he can see, the construction crews have been working hard, even sometimes on the weekend and during off-hours.

But Meyers, who opened his business in early June, after the project started, said the work has limited access to his store. “Yes, it definitely has,� he said. “But not so much that I’m really affected now. Being a new business, each week gets better for me.�

Meyers has used his business’ Facebook page and Yelp, a business review website, to get the word out to customers that Effervesce Vapors is still open. But he said he said some customers who are in their 70s won’t make the trip through the construction.

Others, he said, have had to walk past a sign that said the sidewalk was closed and then over the gravel to make it to his store. He doesn’t like that the sign was there, he said, because the sidewalks were supposed to be open throughout the entire project, other than brief closures for concrete work or demolition.

Similar to Meyers is Amy Fenwick and her business, Roxie’s Boutique, which opened in late 2013 at the intersection of Peoria Avenue and First Street.

Because Fenwick’s business is relatively new, she hasn’t had time, she said, to build a big base of regular customers. “I think I’m a little less established,� she said. “I have some regulars, but I don’t think I have that loyalty yet to where they’ll venture out and climb the mounds of gravel.�

When work started a few blocks south of Roxie’s on Peoria Avenue, Fenwick said she could notice a dip in customer traffic, because people weren’t sure how to get downtown, so they avoided the area.

Fenwick, Meyers and Venier all have used social media to communicate with their customers that they’re still open. Fenwick said she’ll have a coupon out soon offering a discount for purchases during the construction.

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

Some businesses in downtown Dixon, such as J&J Household Furnishings, 223 W. First St., have temporarily closed, rather than deal with construction during the streetscape project.

Although all of the business owners expected some disruption from the work, some of it has been more than they expected.

Fenwick likes the fact that work is being done to both side of her block of Peoria, she said, but would have liked to know that was going to happen ahead of time, adding that the original plan was to do one side at a time.

About 2 weeks ago, the 100 block of Peoria Avenue started to get torn up for construction. Shortly after that, Meyers said, his business and the others along the east side of that block flooded.

He’s working with his insurance company to file a claim, he said.

But Meyers said he understands that the work needs to get done and said it will be good for the city.

Venier said the simple jewelry repairs portion of his business might have dropped off during the work, but added that his customers are aware of the back entrance, so it hasn’t been a serious deterrent. “It’s been a mess,� he said of the downtown. “But all along we’ve called it a beautiful mess. And it’s the pains that we need to go through [to benefit the city].�

Go mad for melons

BY DANIEL NEMAN MCT News Service

Y

ou know you’re in the heart of the summer when the melons come out to play.

Watermelons, with their bright red smiles, a drop of juice glistening on each slice. Honeydews, green and festive, temptingly arrayed on a plate. Merry, golden cantaloupes, sweet and softly yielding.

Melons are summertime’s gift to us, an apology for the heat and humidity, an effort to make things right. And they are so cool and refreshing, they do actually improve your life. When you’re eating a melon, it’s hard to feel anything but happy.

Watermelons belong in a cooler on a bed of ice, ready to be eaten at a picnic. Cantaloupe and honeydew turn breakfast into something special. All they require is a wedge of lemon or lime.

You already know about cantaloupe wrapped with prosciutto (if you don’t, take a chunk of cantaloupe, wrap it in a thin slice of prosciutto and eat.

Repeat until blissful). Perhaps you’ve had a honeydew smoothie (blend honeydew melon with crushed ice and milk. It’s a remarkably refreshing treat). And if you haven’t had chicken or tuna salad mounded in half of a small cantaloupe, now is the time to start.

To celebrate the joy of all things melon, I went a slightly different route.

I stuck close to the lightand-healthy basics, with melon-rich salads and a silken panna cotta for des-

sert.

To begin with, I chose a salad that is almost as popular as cantaloupe wrapped with prosciutto.

It is a terrific example of a simple dish packing a huge dividend of flavor; it has a high taste-to-effort ratio.

The dish is a watermelon, Feta and basil salad, and it is nothing more than watermelon, Feta cheese, basil, a bit of red onion and a simple vinaigrette.

What makes it so extraordinary is the way the flavors play off one another.

The cheese, with its salty tang, adds a richness that is balanced by the edge of the vinaigrette and onion, all of which plays under the smooth, cool blend of basil and watermelon.

It is one of those dishes that achieves culinary perfection. If you’re at my house in the summer, you’re as likely as not to be served it.

A more ambitious and complicated use of melons is a picante three-melon salad.

Wonderfully low in calories (don’t tell anyone; they don’t have to know), this salad hits the taste superfecta: It is sweet, sour, salty and spicy.

For dessert it is more melon, of course, a cantaloupe panna cotta. A popular dessert in Italy, panna cotta combines the best aspects of ice cream and Jell-O, but it tastes much better than that sounds. It is a semi-solid but somewhat quivering chilled dessert made with cream – or milk, if you must, and in this case some Greek yogurt is added to make it a bit tangy.

If you don’t like it tangy, stick with the cream. Or

the milk.

Most of the flavor, in this case, comes from pureed cantaloupe (or other melon), sweetened with honey.

WATERMELON, BASIL AND FETA SALAD Yield: 4 servings 4 cups watermelon, cubed 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled 1/2 cup red onion, sliced thin, optional 10 leaves fresh basil, sliced thin Vinaigrette or ranch dressing In a large bowl, combine watermelon, Feta cheese and optional red onion.

Scatter basil over the top, and lightly dress with vinaigrette or ranch dressing.

Cantaloupe panna cotta with mixed berries Coarse salt 1 cup blackberries 1 cup blueberries 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice Note: If you want it sweeter, use 1/2 cup heavy cream, half-and-half or whole milk instead of the yogurt. Use the ripest berries you can find; raspberries or strawberries would also work.

1. In a blender, puree cantaloupe until smooth.

Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing lightly on solids (you should have about 2 cups of puree); discard solids.

Pour 1/3 cup juice into a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin over the top; let sit 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk yogurt into remaining juice.

2. In a small saucepan, bring cream, 2 tablespoons of the honey, and a pinch of salt to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk in gelatin mixture and cook until gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute. Whisk cream mixture into yogurt

CREAMY CANTALOUPE PANNA COTTA WITH MIXED BERRIES Yield: 6 servings 1 cantaloupe, peeled, seeded, flesh cut into large pieces 1 tablespoon unflavored powdered gelatin (1 packet plus 1/2 teaspoon) 1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt, see note 3/4 cup heavy cream 3 tablespoons honey, divided

mixture and divide among 6 (6-ounce) bowls or ramekins. Refrigerate until set, 2 1/2 hours or overnight.

3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine remaining 1 tablespoon honey, blackberries, blueberries and orange juice. With the back of a fork, lightly mash berries to release their juices.

Cover and refrigerate until needed.

4. To unmold panna cottas, run a small knife around the outside edge of each bowl and invert onto a serving plate, gently shaking from side to side to release. Serve with berries and juices.

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is lispecifically censed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))
