Schaumburg, Illinois seniors work to nurture monarch butterflies, which are at risk of being endangered
The monarch butterfly is Illinois' state insect and has held that distinction for 50 years — having been suggested for the honor by third grade classes in Decatur in 1975. But the butterfly is also in danger of landing on the endangered species list. Some retirees are hoping to reverse that trend. Volunteer Ned Bruns recently spent a gorgeous morning digging up ugly weeds. "It'd be easier to say, how often am I not here?" Bruns said. It is certainly a peaceful way to spend retirement. But keeping the Schaumburg Park District beautiful is not the only goal of the gardening work he does. Bruns is on a team of volunteers trying to save monarch butterflies by cultivating milkweed — the only plant where they lay eggs. "I'm a retired union carpenter and, if you think about it, we created all the homes here — which has taken up some of the habitat for the monarch butterfly," Bruns said. Bruns is part of a team of volunteers who educate the public about the demise of the state insect. He helped build boxes for caterpillars and cocoons that represent increasingly precious shelter. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is close to categorizing the monarch butterfly is threatened, which is one step away from endangered. If that happens, federal protections could make it tricker for the public to learn about the orange and black creatures up close—because handling them might be restricted. "Butterfly people don't want that to happen," said Carol Johnson. Johnson is another Schaumburg senior who will talk about monarchs to anyone who will listen. She is nicknamed the Butterfly Lady. "I have an 'on' button, but my 'off' button is sometimes broken," Johnson said. The 83-year-old was behind Illinois legislation to create Monarch Month. May is the perfect time for gardeners to add the butterfly's favorite plant to their arsenal, she said. Believe it or not, many cities and towns used to prohibit milkweed — with an emphasis on the "weed" suffix. A 2017 law banned such bans. It was Johnson who was responsible for getting mega-monarch volunteer Bruns hooked. She drummed up the idea of raising butterflies at the Schaumburg Park District. Thousands are released each year. "Carol Johnson is instrumental to the monarch butterfly," said Bruns. "She created the Schaumburg monarch initiative. She's put a lot of milkweed in parks." Seniors are shrinking a problem by growing the solution. "It just shows the power of old ladies!" said Johnson. Keep an eye out. Monarch butterflies are just starting to arrive in the Chicago area for the season.

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kinetic Seas Incorporated (OTCQB: KSEZ), an emerging provider of secure AI systems for healthcare and enterprise environments, is proud to announce the launch of KineticMD, an advanced large language model (LLM) platform designed for in-office use by physicians and medical professionals. Unlike cloud-based AI tools, KineticMD runs entirely on-site, ensuring that sensitive patient data remains local, private, and fully under the control of each clinic. KineticMD was co-developed with longevity physician Dr. Sasoon Moulavi, MD and has been initially licensed to the Age – Body – Brain – Stamina Institute (ABBSI). ABBSI is a private medical institute focused on advanced longevity treatments and personalized patient care, with a reputation for integrating cutting-edge diagnostics and protocols in elite wellness programs. This first deployment focuses on longevity medicine, providing doctors with a secure, AI-powered assistant that helps optimize patient treatment protocols without ever sending data to third-party servers. Future specialty modules are already in development for sports medicine, diet and weight loss, and other targeted areas. Built from open-source foundations and optimized for regulatory environments, KineticMD empowers physicians to benefit from the speed and intelligence of LLMs without sacrificing privacy or compliance. This makes it ideal for use in concierge medicine, clinical practices, legal offices, and other sectors where data control is non-negotiable. 'We believe the future of medical AI is local,' said Edward Honour, CEO of Kinetic Seas. 'The ABBSI partnership is just the beginning. We expect to train KineticMD assistants across multiple specialties, creating tailored, on-site AI that can support doctors with research, diagnosis, and workflow enhancement—without compromising on data integrity.' KineticMD is offered through a licensing model that includes the proprietary software and localized hardware, with additional revenue generated through implementation support and specialty fine-tuning. The company projects approximately $5–10 million in annual revenue from its first contract with ABBSI, demonstrating the strong commercial potential of the platform. Kinetic Seas believes AI will play a transformative role in elevating the standard of care across the U.S. healthcare system in the coming years. With the launch of KineticMD, the company is establishing itself as a leader in secure, domain-specific AI, empowering physicians to deliver better outcomes through personalized, intelligent, and private in-office tools.
