Dorothy Jean Schreck Dorothy Jean Schreck, age 79, of Madison, WI, and formerly Stockton, IL, passed away peacefully on Monday, Oct. 2, 2023, at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg, WI. After a debilitating battle with lung disease, Dorothy waded through the shallow waters to The Far Side Banks of Jordan and into the waiting arms of her beloved daughter, Kelly Jean, who pre-deceased her in 1978.

Dorothy was born May 17, 1944, to Francis and Ferne (Wills) Gallagher in Freeport, IL. She was a 1962 graduate of Warren High School. That same year she married Robert Schreck on June 3, 1962, in Nora, IL. She was a member of Christ Lutheran Church and the Naomi Circle, Stockton, IL. Dorothy was a wife, mother, and homemaker until 1978, then she began her first responder career as a Charter Member of the Stockton Community Ambulance. She was a longtime CPR Instructor/Trainer for the American Heart Association and a First Aid Instructor for the American Red Cross. Her other careers included co-owning and operating DJ’s Village Variety in Stockton, Atwood/ Excel Industries first aid and administrative offices, and

later retiring from Freeport Health Network as a medical transcriptionist. After retirement, she was a founding member of The Council Hill Station Band and cat mom to Gus and Lady Gray.

Survivors include her husband, Robert, of Madison, WI; two children, Michael (Jamie) Schreck; Colorado Springs, CO; Cammie Schreck (David Ringoen), Madison, WI; Gus the cat; grandchildren Jennifer Wright, Hawley, TX and Jenni (Josh) Weiland, Petosi, WI; five great-grandchildren Macie (Devin) Baker, Ravin Wright, Gage Wright, Sylas Stevens and Jurnee Gerber; one great-great grandson Weston Baker; brother William (Suzanne) Gallagher and sister Ruth (Jim) Sturtevant all of Freeport, IL; sistersin-law Diane Foley and Linda Lowery of Chehalis, WA, and beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents and daughter, Kelly Jean; in-laws Douglas and Hazel Schreck; brothers-in-law Bernie Schreck and Chuck Foley; and Lady Gray.

Tammy Wybourn Tammy (Burke) Wybourn, 51, of Lena, peacefully went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Feb. 2, 2023, after a brave fight against cancer. Tammy was born in Freeport on Oct. 5, 1971, to Jim and Diane Burke. Tammy married Darin Wybourn on June 16, 1990.

Tammy was a proud, devoted mother to Nick and Cassie, and a loving and caring grandmother to Collyns and Bowman. Tammy found joy in watching her children’s sporting events, Cassie’s dance competitions over the years, and hosting Burke family holidays. Anyone that knew Tammy also knew how much her miniature Daschund Mandy meant to her. Mandy was always included as part of the family on greeting cards, in family photos and even on answer-

ing machine messages.

Tammy was truly someone who prioritized her family above everything else.

She was employed by the Lena-Winslow School District as a paraprofessional, where she enjoyed working with the students. Tammy was a revered friend to many in the school district.

Tammy is survived by her husband, Darin. She is fondly, forever remembered by her son, Nicholas (Deidre) Wybourn and their children, Collyns and Bowman all of Lena and her daughter, Cassidy (Zachary) Zaruba of Madison, Wisconsin. In addition, Tammy is truly missed by her parents, Jim and Diane Burke

Born on Aug. 19, 1945, in Morrison, IL, Larry was the beloved middle child of Francis and Dorothy Nelson. On June 7, 1968, he embarked on a lifelong journey of love and companionship when he married Kimberlee “Kim” Schoonhoven, of Lanark, IL. Larry spent his formative years on a Shannon, IL farm.

He attended Shannon Schools and pursued his passion for education at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL, where he earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree.

But remembered most of all as a loving amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and dear friend. She lived her life with patience, grace, and a subtle Irish wit. Rest Easy Dot. Donations made in lieu of flowers will be used to honor Dorothy’s favorite causes.

headlines and on the national wire services. He had a photo darkroom in his basement and loved seeing a picture come to life on paper. Through the years he was known for his captivating photographs, especially of barns, which he turned into calendars and books. His snapshots of the Village of Lena Water Tower were made into postcards and puzzles which were sold at Lena Drug Store. His photographs captured the beauty and emotion of the world around him and were his way of connecting and giving back to his community. His photography also documented landscapes, flowers, animals, and birds of Northern Illinois, with a special affinity for eagles and bluebirds.

He lent his talents to the Northwestern Illinois Farmer and Shoppers Guide paper where he had a column called “Patch”. If Larry wasn’t using his camera, he was often seen on his trusty Ford tractor with his tiger cat riding along while he mowed the lawn and enjoying nature.

Larry is survived by his loving wife, Kim Nelson of Lena, Illinois; his children, Rachel Zipsie of Greenville, Michigan, and Corey Nelson of Lena, Illinois; one grandchild, Aleese (Rane) Stone of Kansas City, Kansas; two

great-grandchildren, Odin and Rhys Stone; two sisters, Gayle (Wayne) Schou and Martha (Jim) Moellenberndt, and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents.

Larry was a member of the Lena United Methodist Church, where he held various positions on church committees, choir, and men’s singing group called Joyful Noise. He was also actively involved in the school’s Panther Press and founder of LW-TV. Since its inception at the Lena Winslow High School, Channel 10 was the place to have community access to events happening in the community, a telethon to raise money for the food pantry, and live broadcasting of sporting and other school events. He was recognized in 2000 as Grand Marshal of the Lena Fall Festival.

A funeral service in honor of Larry’s life took place on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023, at Chapel Hill Cemetery in Freeport, Illinois, with Pastor Doug Carroll officiating.

The service was private, reserved for immediate family.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established with the Lena-Winslow Foundation, a scholarship fund supporting students pursuing education majors, or Odin’s Heart Foundation.

Almost twelve years ago a television show called Duck Dynasty hit the screen and became all the rage in our country. Everyone knows it was a reality show about a family in Louisianna who manufactured little duck

calls by hand way down in the woods of West Monroe, Louisianna. Their business was flourishing, and somebody had the bright idea to make a TV show about the whole deal. The men of the family all had

The Scoop and Shopper’s Guide

A few weeks ago, I submitted a list of universal truths that I think we can all recognize and maybe even agree with.

In today’s culture of division, isn’t it a pleasant and nice truth to simply agree? I concur and couldn’t agree more.

When writing that first list of truths, I found I had too much material for just one column. So here’s a second.

Who knows, perhaps there will be more. I hope so, because I think finding things we can agree on, universally, is a positive - now perhaps more than ever before.

Maybe that is universal truth number one: Finding common ground is a good thing.

Truth number 75: Colors— as in hues of the rainbow and beyond. You don’t give them much of a second thought until you are decorating.

It is at that time that gray becomes at least 12 different distinctive shades with names like slate, dark slate, light slate, medium slate, sliver of slate, silver slate and beyond slate. The decision as to which to pick for the walls of your kitchen is hardly black and white.

Number 12: Weeds don’t exist. They are a category made up by humans, based on our desire for grass-filled yards and flower-filled, vegetable-filled gardens.

Dandelions, creeping Charlie and even poison ivy were created for a reason and they have adapted to their environments to be so successful they are often deemed weeds.

Despite their weedy reputation, they are useful, if you see them as such.

Dandelion flowers attract pollinators, like bees. The flowers of poison ivy serve as food for birds. All three have homeopathic uses. Both dandelions and creeping Charlie are rich in vitamin C. Bottom line, like all plants, weeds serve Mother Nature, who doesn’t like her soil to sit empty. Instead, she fills in the blank spots with growth we humans have decided to label as weeds.

Number 43: Cheap wine can taste just as good as an expensive bottle. It all

By

Jill Pertler Columnist

depends on the company you keep. Good friends and family beat a top shelf cabernet any day.

Number five: Time alone can be just as valuable as time together. It depends on the person and the relationship.

Number 1001: Sometimes an invention creates a product. What came first, wall to wall carpet or the vacuum cleaner? The answer might surprise you. The vacuum cleaner came on the scene in the 1920s, a decade or so later, the idea of wallto-wall carpet came into being.

Number 997: Leaf blowers were invented for a reason, but I haven’t figured it out yet. I mean. If you want to get rid of leaves, don’t you have to do something more than just move them to another destination? How about a leaf vacuum—something that would suck them up and put them in a bag? Now there’s an invention worth inventing (if it hasn’t been already).

Number 772: Babies are born cute—for a reason.

Puppies, kittens, hedgehogs, bunnies, piglets even all have certain characteristics that humans, at least, see as cute. Large eyes, a large head in relation to their bodies, chubby cheeks, a small nose and mouth all serve to trigger the cuteness factor. Cute makes us want to nurture—to complete those middle of the night feedings and diaper changes with an attitude of positivity, despite sleep deprivation.

Number one through one million: At the end of it all, all that matters is love. Who you’ve loved, how you’ve loved and how universally you’ve loved. All of it.

Go out and do that.

quit the team and went home to the swamp and Bradshaw went on to become a four-time Superbowl champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers and is now in the professional football hall of fame in Dayton, Ohio. Turns out it was all true.

My wife and I were out and about this weekend doing some extra speaking at a church in connection with my newspaper column and we decided to go see the movie, The Blind, which is currently in the Theaters for a short time. The movie did not disappoint in any way shape or form. It told the powerful true story of a young Phil growing up in intense poverty basically in a single parent home with his three siblings and their abusive mom who was in and out of mental hospitals during their childhood. As

the oldest child, Phil became the caregiver for his mother and younger siblings. When he got older, he discovered his gift to play football and became a great quarterback in high school earning a scholarship to Louisianna Tech. He also fell in love with a wonderful girl named Kay who he married when she was only sixteen and he was twenty which is legal in Louisianna with parental consent. He then went off to college where he tried to focus on school and football, but he missed his young wife, the woods and duck hunting so much that he quit school and went back home to hunt, fish and try to raise a family.

The story is riveting in that it follows Phil and Kay’s path over their early years. They had three boys during those years, but Phil became involved in severe

alcohol abuse which tore their life apart and nearly destroyed their family for good. Phil’s sister, Jan, who he had helped raise, was the first to share the life-changing power of God through faith in Jesus Christ to Phil. He violently resisted sighting his own mother’s difficulties and God’s lack of presence in his life as a kid as reason not to believe in the Lord. After Phil in a drunken rage kicked

Kay and the boys out of the house, Phil’s sister Jan helped Kay get help from her local church and Kay put her faith in Christ for salvation. She began raising her three boys to love the Lord as the Bible teaches.

Eventually, God got a hold of Phil’s heart and he too put his trust in Christ. He left his life of alcoholism and violence and became a devout Christian and a wonderful husband and

father.

At the end of the movie, Phil himself comes on the screen and says that this is their true life story with nothing held back. It is the story of how the power of Satan and evil can be defeated in one’s life by the power of the Lord. He says that it is rather embarrassing to revisit the man he used to be, but he knows that millions of people who struggle with these same

issues need to see that Christ can bring restoration, forgiveness, hope and joy.

It’s called being born again and Jesus said we all must be born again in order to know Him. In John 8:36 Jesus said, “Who the son sets free is free indeed!”

If you want to be moved deep in your spirit, I highly recommend this movie.

It could be life changing for you as well. Until next week, God bless.

WEDNESDAY, AUG. 16, 2023

Excluding the 2020 Covid year, the Lena-Winslow Panthers have won three consecutive Illinois Class 1A State Football Titles. Although the Panthers lost a majority of last year’s squad, many believe LeWin has what it takes to make another deep postseason run.

“We lost 10 starters on defense and eight starters on offense,” Lena-Winslow head coach Ric Arand shared just before practice for the 2023 season started. Arand is entering his 27th season as the Panthers’ head coach. The experienced instructor will have to find a way to take a roster filled mostly with new faces and help them reach their full potential once again.

If anyone is capable of doing that, it’s Arand. Through 26 years, Arand holds a career record of 234-66. More than Arand, the Panther-Strong program has set the standard for winning across Illinois High School Football. Not only have they captured three consecutive titles, but six in total.

The Panthers have stamped their name in the Illinois history books and this 2023 squad is hoping to do much of the same.

Despite losing so many to graduation, the Panthers still return some familiar names

this season. Gage Dunker gets plenty of action as he returns as an outside linebacker on defense and the team’s fullback on offense. Dunker, the younger brother of Gennings Dunker, who is now on the Iowa Hawkeyes, looks to lead the way for the Panthers.

Dunker will have some familiar faces blocking ahead of him as the Panthers return two starting offensive linemen. Odin Stabenow and Tanner Kempel will look to hold things down on the edge as the Panthers’ offensive tackles.

Outside of that, however, Le-Win is going to have a plethora of new faces on the field in 2023. “We need a lot of guys to step up and mature quickly to be successful,” Arand shared.

The Panthers will have to replace a number of guys along the line of scrimmage.

Luke Kempel, Luke Stabenow, Brady Aurand, and Alex Packard will all be playing on the offensive and defensive line. Mason Spidahl and Quinn Rodebaugh will both get opportunities at tight end and defensive end as well. Casey Klever also lines up at tight end on offense, but he’s off the line on the defensive side as an outside linebacker.

Hayden Schofield proved effective for the Broncos as well. Schofield rushed for 42 yards and a score on the ground, while adding 40 receiving yards through the air. Defensively, Boden Gustafson had a big sack for the Broncos.

Eventually, Orangeville managed to end the skid with a 53-36 victory over Alden-Hebron.

The Broncos took their week five victory and built off it in week six. There, they met up with Galva High School in another must-win situation. Orangeville’s offense picked up right where they left off in week five as they had another massive day on the ground.

touchdown run. A successful two-point conversion gave the Broncos an 8-0 advantage. Then, it was Schofield’s turn for a big play as his 66-yard score gave the Broncos a two-score advantage. Before the end of the first quarter, Schofield tallied his second score of the day when quarterback Cody Wirth connected with him on a 49-yard touchdown pass.

Folgate couldn’t be left behind and he was sure to tally his second score of the first quarter with a 56-yard run and score. By the end of the first, Orangeville had jumped out to a 32-8 lead. With the running game working, the Broncos managed the clock for the remainder.

Folgate finished the day with 183 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Schofield added 83 rushing yards and a score on the ground. Schofield also caught a touchdown and tallied the hat trick when he returned a punt 40 yards to the house. Wirth finished the game with 95 passing yards as he completed four of his five passes for two touchdowns. Miklo Webb caught one of those touchdowns on a five-yard pass.

Ultimately, the Bronco offense had another spectacular performance as they picked up a 63-14 victory over Galva. Orangeville went on to pick up their third consecutive win in a 56-18 victory over Christian life. With that, the Broncos improved their overall record to 4-3 as they appear to have turned things around.

Lady Panthers take first at Pekin tournament before beating Pearl City, Pecatonica

By Trenten Scheidegger CORRESPONDENT

The Lena-Winslow Panthers picked up another volleyball tournament championship when they took first place at the Pekin Tournament on Sept.

30. The Panthers had a perfect weekend, going 5-0 with victories over Sacred Heart Griffin, Deer Creek Mackinaw, Illinois Valley Central, Pekin, and Mahomet-Seymour. Their closest matchup of the day came in the championship game against Mahomet-Seymour.

After winning the first set 2523, M-S tied the series at 1-1 with a 27-25 victory in the second set. With the tournament on the line, the Panthers came through with a 25-20 victory,

securing their first-place finish.

Le-Win’s big hitters were on display as Molly Amendt and Kaidynce Lynch combined for nearly 100 kills in the tournament. Amendt finished the day with 49 kills, seven aces, and five blocks. Lynch added 47 kills and 31 digs herself. Both Amendt and Lynch were added to the Pekin All-Tournament Team. Mia Diffenderfer had a big day with 42 digs, 12 aces, and 17 kills. Alyssa Daughenbaugh was masterful in keeping the ball moving with 121 assists, 33 digs, and five aces.

The big day in assists helped Daughenbaugh reach a career milestone when the Panthers returned to regular season play.

The Panthers did so on

Tuesday, Oct. 3 when they faced off with the Pearl City wolves. Le-Win carried an overall record of 22-2 into the matchup, while the wolves were 7-18-2. Pearl City has struggled in NUIC play this year as they came in at 0-5 in the conference. That record dropped to 0-6 when they fell to the Panthers.

Le-Win controlled the match from start to finish, winning both sets by a score of 2513. Amendt was impressive around the net, putting up nine kills, one block, and eight digs.

Lynch remained consistent, posting seven kills and four digs. Daughenbaugh led the way with 26 assists, six digs, and two kills. Setterstrom add-

ed 11 digs and two aces, while Diffenderfer had 10 digs, five kills, and one ace.

It was an all-around sweep for the Panthers as the Junior Varsity team beat Pearl City 25-21 and 25-19. The freshman team also swept the Wolves 25-14 and 25-9.

Two days later, the Panthers continued their dominant stretch with another sweep over the Pecatonica Indians.

At 13-9-3, the Indians appeared to be a formidable opponent on paper. This was the second time these teams met up in 2023, and the Panthers dominated the first meeting 2-0. Le-Win went for an even bigger margin of deficit in their second matchup.

After a dominant 25-15 victory in the first set, the Panthers turned things up a notch in the second. There, Le-Win won by a score of 25-12 to secure the 2-0 sweep over the Indians. The JV team also beat Pecatonica by scores of 25-13, 22-25, and 25-23.

Lynch led the way against the Indians with 13 kills, one block, and six digs. Groezinger had a breakout performance with seven kills and one block.

Amendt added six kills, one ace, and four digs. Diffenderfer added five kills and six digs of her own.

Ultimately, Le-Win’s attackers proved to be too much for Pecatonica once again.

With Lynch, Groezinger,

Amendt, and Diffenderfer combining for 31 kills, that’s a pace most teams won’t be able to keep up with. Daughenbaugh was sure to keep feeding them the ball as she racked up 31 assists on a night to remember. With that, Daughenbaugh tallied career assist number 1500 as a vital member of the Panthers’ offense. Setterstrom added six digs in the victory.

With that, Le-Win improved to 24-2 overall and a perfect 9-0 in NUIC play. The victory over Pecatonica extended their winning streak to twelve games. On Thursday, Oct. 12 the Panthers will look to keep clawing away as they travel to face off with the Orangeville Broncos.

Line a jelly roll pan with cooking parchment paper.

With serrated bread knife, carefully cut bread in half horizontally. Pinch or tear bread from top and bottom halves, leaving about a ¾ inch shell.

Save bread pieces for croutons. Place bread rings cut sides up on pan.

In a skillet cook beef 6 to 8 minutes over medium-high heat until no longer pink; drain. Reduce heat to medium. Add taco seasoning mix and water. Heat to simmering; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Use decorated side of bread ring for top of Bundtwich. Place 12 of the cheese slice halves evenly in decorative side of bread ring. Place remaining cheese slice halves evenly in other side of bread ring; top with beef mixture and onion.

Bake 8 to 12 minutes or until cheese is melted and rings are hot. Top beef and onions with lettuce, then tomatoes. Carefully replace decorative side of bread ring; lightly press.

With serrated bread knife, cut into 8 wedges to serve. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Blooming Apple Cheesecake

There aren’t a lot of apple cheesecake recipes out there, but this one uses gingersnap cookies as its base. The cheesecake is just a regular cheesecake, but the topping is absolutely sinful. Enjoy this great apple dessert.

3 C. gingersnaps, firmly ground 5 T. butter 4 pkg. (8 oz. each), room temperature 1 2/3 C. sugar 5 eggs 1 C. sour cream 2 T. flour 1½ C. apple cider ½ C. caramel sauce 2 apples, cored, halved, sliced thin Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 9 x 3 springform pan with cooking spray. Mix gingersnap crumbs with butter and press into bottom of pan. Beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then sour cream and flour until smooth. Pour into pan. Bake until set, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Run knife around cake to loosen.

Let cool. Chill 8 hours; remove sides of pan.

Pour apple cider into a skillet; bring to a boil over high heat and let boil until thick.

Add caramel sauce and apple

slices; over low heat, cook until apples soften, about 8 minutes. Let cool. Top cheesecake with apples and glaze.

Apple Doodles

How about some apple cookies? There aren’t many cookie recipes that use apples.

These cookies are a great fall treat and easy to make.

2/3 C. butter flavored shortening (Crisco) 1 C. sugar 1 egg, room temperature 1 t. vanilla 2 C. flour 2¼ t. cinnamon 1 t. baking powder 1 t. baking soda ½ t. salt 1 C. finely chopped peeled tart apples ¾ C. chopped nuts, optional Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.

Stir in apple and nuts. Drop by tablespoons 3 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Final Thoughts I have no leaves to fall in the back yard, but they are coming down in the front.

My beautiful hibiscus plants were still blooming when they went to their winter home in Iowa. If I can’t find someone to take them, I have to send them to my friend’s ditch, so I am always glad when they are adopted.

I am still recovering from surgery, but this week is going better. I went to my job at the volleyball game against Pearl City. It was Cancer Awareness night or Pink Night, and they had a beautiful recognition that night. Besides the cancer survivor recognition (a special one for former coach Rose Black) there was also a recognition for Melinda Bond, who retires after fifty years. It was great to out, but I was a tired puppy.

Columbus Day has gone by and craft fairs fill the air. I still would like to have any recipes you would like to share for the fall season. If you have some fall recipes you would like to share, you can contact us in person, by mail at From Lena’s Kitchens, The Shopper’s Guide at 240 W. Main St. or email us at scoopshopper@ rvpublishing.com.

Crossbites: damage control

Malocclusion is the term used to describe teeth that come together and fit properly or bite in the correct position.

A crossbite is one type of malocclusion. When the teeth are aligned correctly, the upper teeth will fit slightly over the lower teeth. In a crossbite some upper teeth are positioned inside the lower teeth. There are two types of crossbite. In a posterior crossbite, one or more of the upper back teeth will sit inside the lower back teeth when you bite. In an anterior crossbite, one or more of the upper front teeth come together behind the lower front teeth.

Crossbites only involve some of the teeth. If all the upper teeth are positioned behind the lower teeth, this would then be termed an underbite. Overbite

By

Dr. Stephen Petras Illinois Licensed General Dentist

is the term we use for when the upper teeth protrude over the lower teeth by a proportion of between 30-50 per cent.

So why does this matter?

What impact does a crossbite have on your oral and overall health? A crossbite is not just a cosmetic issue. Crossbites can affect growth of the jaw and palate, alter the shape or appearance of facial features and/or symmetry, cause jaw strain/pain from uneven engagement of the facial and jaw muscles, uneven wearing

of the tooth enamel, tooth chipping, tooth grinding, gum disease, headaches, tooth decay, frequent biting of the inner cheek, mouth breathing, sleep apnea, and difficulty speaking, chewing, and maintaining dental hygiene.

Crossbites can develop because of genetics (birth defects: cleft palate, narrow jaw or palate, missing teeth, supernumerary teeth, delayed loss of teeth, impacted teeth, abnormal eruption of teeth), external influences (trauma, tumors, or prolonged thumb sucking, pacifier, or bottle use), or a combination of these factors. It is ideal to treat crossbites in children, so we can take advantage of being able to guide growth and prevent further damage.

Your dentist will develop

an individual treatment plan to address the severity of the crossbite and any underlying medical, dental, and developmental issues.

Treatment may include addressing dysfunctional habits that are contributing to or accelerating damage, palate expanders (fixed or removeable orthodontic device to widen the upper jaw) braces, headgear, clear tooth aligners, replacing missing teeth, referral to an ENT, an oral surgeon (for orthognathic/ jaw) surgery), and/or a speech pathologist.

While there are many advantages to treating crossbites in childhood, adults who have had an untreated crossbite, or who develop a crossbite (trauma, etc.) can also benefit from treatment.

Buoyed by state funding, new biomedical research hub launches in Chicago Chan Zuckerberg Biohub part of Facebook founder’s philanthropy

By Andrew Adams Capitol News Illinois

With vocal support from the governor and $25 million from the state, biomedical researchers are beginning to work on studying the fundamentals of human disease at a new facility in Chicago. The Chan Zuckerberg Biohub—named for philanthropists Priscilla Chan and her husband and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg—is the second biomedical research center launched by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The first is in San Francisco.

In addition to initial state funding, the center will receive $250 million from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative over 10 years to fund research into inflammation, part of the body’s innate response to irritation and disease.

The for-profit philanthropy organization chose the Chicago location based on the application of a team of scientists from Northwestern University, the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Theirs was chosen from a pool of 58 applications.

One of the things that set the Chicago applicants apart, according to Chan, was the enthusiasm from Gov. JB Pritzker, who sent a formal letter of support for the project as well as adding a more personal touch.

“Gov. Pritzker showed up at the applicant interview day as the top cheerleader of the team presenting their case,” Chan said at the Biohub’s launch event Thursday.

At the launch event, Pritzker delayed the day’s schedule—

later lamenting he wasn’t able to “fully geek out”—when he refused to leave a lab because he wanted to discuss the potential applications of research into inflammation in nervous systems and muscle tissue.

“I’m gonna get in trouble,” Pritzker said when he noticed he was being watched by an event coordinator. “Yeah, you are,” she replied, hurrying the governor out of the lab.

The $25 million state grant for the facility, which is still being processed, will come from the state’s Rebuild Illinois infrastructure program, according to a spokesperson from the state’s Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. A representative of the Biohub declined to divulge the total cost of the facility.

The under-construction Biohub is scheduled to be completed in January. The plan for the facility mixes elements of a university engineering department and a tech startup. Tissue incubation labs will be located down the hall from flexible workspaces and an office kitchen and bar.

The blend between a Silicon Valley ethos and academic research goes beyond the office design and into its budget as well. That’s evidenced in the $250 million the lab is set to receive from CZI, which is primarily funded through Chan and Zuckerberg’s stock in Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook.

Shana Kelley, the Chicago Biohub’s president, said the steady revenue stream will allow it to bypass the typical search for ongoing funding that

is common in academia.

“You don’t have to ask the question ‘could we fund this?’ ” Kelley told Capitol News Illinois. “You can just say ‘is this worth trying?’” Kelley, a professor at Northwestern University who is currently incubating her third and fourth companies, said the funding and more collaborative research model allow researchers to focus on “high risk, high reward” ideas. “We’re not doing a lot of the other things you have to do in an academic institution,” Kelley said. “We’re not training graduate students. I’m not teaching undergraduates.”

The “disease agnostic” focus on inflammation came from existing work at the Biohub’s three partner universities which each have labs focused on studying instruments that can be inserted into tissue and immunoengineering. This type of research mostly revolves around building technology that will measure biological

processes at the molecular level within human tissues, with the ultimate goal of treating inflammation involved in many conditions such as cancer and autoimmune disease. “We’ve got to get inflammation figured out,” Kelley said. “We’ve got to learn to control it.”

Currently, the research center has 11 staff members—with a planned staff of 30 to 50—and has ongoing projects with partner universities. Hope Burks, a fellow at the Biohub, is working on creating devices that can be inserted into the skin that monitor inflammation in real time.

Burks said this research might be helpful in developing diagnostic or clinical tools that can identify and treat disease.

“What kind of inflammation is happening?” Burks said during a presentation Oct. 5. “Do they have different signaling patterns that are specific to each other?

Once we see what types of inflammation, what is effective against that?”
