FBI warns of new version of ‘brushing’

SENIORS VS. CRIME

Randy Meier

The FBI issued a warning to the public on July 31 about a variation of the “brushing” scam.

The brushing scam involves criminals associated with online vendors sending unsolicited packages to random recipients. The crooks then use the recipient’s information to create positive “verified” reviews of the product to boost their sales.

In the most recent variation, these unsolicited parcels of mostly inexpen-

sive merchandise show up without any sender information. But they do include a QR code, or a square barcode.

The goal of the sender of these anonymous-looking packages is to prompt curiosity in the recipient, enough to coax them to scan the QR code with their smartphone. That scan will download malware, or malicious software, designed to steal data from the scanning phone.

To protect yourself:

• Be skeptical of unexpected parcels containing merchandise you never ordered.

• Be especially wary of packages without sender information.

• Never scan a QR code unless you know and trust its origin.

QR codes also are a feature in many scams involving victims depositing cash into Bitcoin ATMs.

Scam victims are sent the QR codes and instructed to allow the ATM to scan the code.

This allows the ATM to auto-fill the recipient’s information for the Bitcoin transfer, making stealing the deposited money that much quicker.

Contact Seniors vs. Crime

Let me know about scams, fraud or other crookedness you run across. Most of what I learn, I learn from you. Contact me at Seniors vs. Crime, Clinton County Sheriff’s Office, 563-242-9211, extension 4433, or email me at randymeier@gapa911.us.

Harvest Hammer is Sept. 20 in Morrison

SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com

The Morrison Rotary Club is proud to announce the 32nd annual Harvest Hammer 5K and Duathlon.

The race is scheduled to begin at Morrison High School at 8 a.m. Sept. 20. Organizers have moved the start time to 8 a.m. to allow runners to avoid the heat and to let kids sleep in who will be running kids races at 10 a.m. The race features a 5K Run and a

21-mile bike ride over relatively flat countryside.

Organizers are encouraging people who have never participated in the 5K run and 21-mile bike ride to try it out. You can even grab a friend and enter the team event so you only have to ride or run and your partner can ride or run.

There is an option to just walk the 5K and enjoy the scenery. Chip timing is used.

There are fun runs for kids in grades

2 and younger up to eighth grade. Two bicycles will be given away to youths and the Challenge run winners will receive a cash award. A complimentary color run follows the Harvest Hammer about 11:30 a.m.

Artists’ creativity showcased at The Loft on Main

Downtown Morrison art gallery spreads the word about local talent

By CODY CUTTER ccutter@shawmedia.com

MORRISON – Going to school in Como, art wasn’t one of Sharon Boyles’ favorites classes, and it wasn’t something she was all that interested in growing up either.

Then she moved to Morrison.

It was there that her children learned to appreciate art more than she had when she was in school, and it was there where she started stretching her creative muscles, making nature-themed, mosaic-like art pieces from cloth to show family and friends. She began connecting with the community on a different level, finding like-minded lovers of creativity and artistic expression.

Then she started getting “Lofty” ambitions.

That led Boyles to find not only a creative outlet, but a place on the board of directors at an art gallery right in her hometown.

Boyles and almost 35 other local artists have works on display and for sale at The Loft on Main, a downtown gallery and studio showcasing almost 1,500 works in various mediums – oil, acrylic, pastel and watercolor painting, drawings, wood and glass art, ceramics, jewelry, photography and fabric – all on display throughout two floors of its downtown storefront. Not all the pieces are on display at all times, because of space considerations, but they all eventually find their way onto walls and displays, waiting for gallerygoers and art-buyers to give them a new home.

The gallery welcomes works from Whiteside and nearby counties, curating a collection of creativity from throughout the area that offers people a place in Morrison where art takes center stage and the audience plays a part, too, supporting and celebrating local talent.

Maybe they just stop by to ponder over a thought-provoking painting, maybe they’re looking for a statement piece to take home that says something about their personality, a little something to liven up their living room or maybe they want a truly one-of-a-kind gift – it’s all there, and unlike big-city galleries, the intimacy of The Loft’s sur-

The Loft on Main art gallery’s Coffee and Conversation on the third Thursday morning of the month at the Morrison art gallery brings artists and art enthusiasts alike together to get to know pieces a little more and to catch up with other people on what projects they have in store.

roundings creates a closer connection between the artist and their community.

“Sometimes people come in and see the work of people that they know, and they’re like, ‘I didn’t know they did this,’” Boyles said. “I think it’s really inspirational to see all of the different styles. None of the people here duplicate anybody. They’ll see something simple, like a bowl of oranges, and will be like, ‘It is so beautiful!’ It’s enlightening that way, and it gives them something to talk to them about when they see them next time.”

More than just a gallery though, The Loft is also involved in curating the next generation of artists and supporting the arts, hosting occasional art classes and promoting and supporting other art events in town, such as Odell Public Library’s Tiny Art Show (this past March) and the annual Paint the Town on Main Street (Sept. 25). Its Coffee and Conversation program, on every third Thursday morning, attracts artists and art lovers alike to get to know pieces a little more and catch up with creators to learn what projects they have in store.

While a small town in the heart of farm country, where there are a lot more

hay lofts than art lofts, may not seem to some people a likely home for a thriving art scene, The Loft’s roots actually stretch back to the city’s early years, when the seeds for the city’s creative community were planted.

More than 100 years ago, seats of county government, such as Morrison, often attracted professionals, including doctors, lawyers, educators, and businesspeople. Their presence didn’t just bring wealth and status to town, but also an appreciation for the arts that has been, and continues to be, handed down through the generations.

Boyles cites her children’s art teacher, Ned Nesti Jr., as an inspiration for growing the community’s art culture in recent years, which led to the gallery’s opening in 2017 with support from the Morrison Area Development Corporation.

“The art program in Morrison was way above and beyond,” Boyles said. “It was incredible. He got the kids’ works published in scholastic arts magazines. He opened that up, and it’s always had support. The arts really are supported in Morrison, and it’s here to stay.”

While inspiration can strike anytime

and anywhere, it sometimes hits close to home, with some of the works at The Loft based on local sights, such as the Annan Mill, showcased in a pencil drawing on the second floor. Some pieces are inspired by fellow artists, such as one Boyles says she created after seeing a photo at the gallery: “There’s one piece that’s a photograph and I was inspired by it, and I have a piece called ‘Inspired.’ ”

It was a moment of serendipity that reinforced Boyles’ belief that art can be for anyone, even students who prefer recess to Rembrandt.

“I didn’t like art in school,” she said, but when she started tapping into her talents and channeling her creativity into fabric art, it unlocked a desire to do more. You don’t need to be a trained artist with years of projects in your portfolio to start creating or be in a gallery; sometimes you can just make things up out of whole cloth, like Boyles.

For those who think they’re not creative, Boyles said, maybe “you just hadn’t found your medium yet.”

“I marvel at what people can do,” she said.

Casting nets, fishing is in Mike Schafer’s blood

Most of Fulton business owner’s catch coming from the Mississippi River near where he grew up

By CODY CUTTER ccutter@shawmedia.com

FULTON – Casting nets from his father’s wooden boat out on the Mississippi River as a child, Mike Schafer’s love of fishing started at an early age. Today, he’s casting the net a lot wider as the owner of the largest fishery in the U.S. that deals with Asian carp, caught from the same river and sold at, and processed very close to, his shop near Lock and Dam 13 north of Fulton.

For almost 50 years, Schafer has built the second-generation family business, Schafer Fisheries, into one that caters to customers both at home and around the world, attracting people to its retail store to whet their appetite with a variety of fish and seafood, and shipping products internationally. He’s even helping the farm community and people with a green thumb by selling fish-based fertilizer made from his stock at its processing plant just across the county line in Thomson.

In an industry that’s faced its share of challenges through the years – a pandemic and international tariffs just in recent years – the business has held its own. Schafer can remember a time when there used to be 20 different fish markets within 30 miles up and down the river. It’s a point of pride for him, not just because of the business’ growth, but because it’s part of his family’s legacy. His father, Donald, started it in 1955.

“He opened this, caught a lot of fish, and I remember fishing with him when I was very small,” Schafer said. “It’s in my blood and in my roots. We’ve grown the company from a very small momand-pop operation, with retail and a few restaurants back in the day, to where we’re nationwide now,” Schafer said. “On fresh fish, we have our product shipped to California, New York, and a lot of points in between; and we’re worldwide on frozen.”

While grocers have grown too, with neighborhood shops replaced by big-box stores with miles of aisles, they don’t offer the same selection as a place like

It’s pretty unique, it really is. We have a lot of people who stop in and see what we’re all about.”

Mike Schafer, owner of Schafer Fisheries

Schafer’s. Products competing for freezer space and the demand for bigger profit margins have left chain stores with a more limited lineup, much of it processed and frozen.

That’s where a place like Schafer’s has the edge. Its focus is on fresh fish, a larger seafood selection, and personalized service. It attracts fish fans from all backgrounds, from those who simply enjoy it to those who find it’s an important part of their diet, who can choose from a larger selection, learn about its health benefits, and explore different ways to utilize it, such as smoked salmon and carp spreads.

Schafer employs a fleet of fishers who haul in catches from the Missis -

sippi River and elsewhere and bring their fish to the store for processing and sale. Dressing – removing the inedible parts to prepare the fish for cooking – is done only a line-cast way from where shoppers shop, and it’s one of the unique sights that customers can check out when they visit, retail manager Nonie Schaver said.

“It’s fun for people to stop in who have never been here before, see the live fish and see the process with the way we work,” Schaver said. “It’s different than most retail environments you go into.

Try finding frog legs, alligator, turtle, crab legs, squid and clams at the typical grocery store – there won’t be as much of a selection there as at Schafer Fisheries in Fulton.

We try to be extremely helpful with people finding things that they’ve never tried before, or things that they’re looking for.”

In addition to all kinds of fish caught in rivers and streams, Schafer’s has a wide variety of seafood and fish-based products that it sells from other companies: lobster, king crab, snow crab, octopus, calamari, alligator, and crawfish and fish from the oceans such as orange roughy, red snapper and sea bass.

Want to showcase your work? Each piece is juried by the gallery’s board of directors, led by Morrison mayor Scott Vandermyde as its president. Each potential new piece is considered for craftsmanship, selection and application of materials, technique, concept, originality and presentation.

Vandermyde isn’t an artist himself, but has come to appreciate it over the years, he said. He recently helped one of the gallery’s featured woodworkers, his predecessor as Morrison mayor, Everett Pannier, sand pieces for one of his works. Vandermyde’s dual role as the gallery’s board president and city mayor puts him in a unique position to help get the word out not only about the gallery, but the city where it makes its home.

“We just need to continue to find ways to get the word out,” Vandermyde said. “We’re always talking about our publicity strategy. “We’re also using it as a bit of a social stop, too. We want to sell stuff and have the artists get commission and exposure, but we also want to do more social things, too. If people see something they like, maybe they’ll come back and buy it.”

“This is a really unique area,” Vander Bleek said. “I’m shocked that we have this many artists in such a small community. There are all kinds of creative people, and there’s a lot of art for such a small community. If this wasn’t here, I probably wouldn’t have developed this far. I was just dabbling in painting, but having this here and having them say that you should put your stuff in here, it’s really helped a lot of people grow.”

The Loft on Main is a not-for-profit organization that relies on donations, benefactors and grants to offset costs –one of the biggest of which is rent, which is paid to the building owners, who also have a vacation rental on one end of the second floor.

Another way The Loft generates support for the arts is by making the pieces affordable. The more pieces that go out the door and into people’s homes, the more word spreads.

– a challenge that’s been even more difficult since Covid – who can guide people through the gallery when it’s open, from Thursday to Saturday, as well as board members and instructors for art classes.

Even those who don’t want to volunteer can still help, with word of mouth. Art may speak volumes, but it only takes a few good words to let people know that there’s an art gallery full of talent in the heart of Morrison. Boyles said that even though The Loft’s been around for nearly 10 years, local people still stop by who say they didn’t know there was a gallery in their hometown.

Whether it’s someone just dropping by for a visit, or an artist who’s found their calling, Boyles just hopes people pay a call to The Loft.

rison for more than 30 years and exhibits her oil and acrylic paintings at the gallery. Much of her work is done on small canvases and features a variety of sights. She’s always eager to enhance her craft through workshops and classes, and like Boyles, she too has found inspiration from not only her fellow artists, but her hometown.

“It works for here because we’re in a smaller market where you can’t put big price tags on them,” Vander Bleek said. “If something of mine turns out pretty nice, I’ll put them in here.”

Like other nonprofits, The Loft wouldn’t be possible without the volunteers and supporters who give their time and effort to the cause of creativity. The gallery is always looking for volunteers

“I can’t say enough good about this place,” Boyles said. “For me, it’s my way to give back to the community. My boys got such a great art education here, and this is something I can do to help promote it, and keep the people interested in creating.”

The Loft on Main, 112 East Main St. in Morrison, is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Find it on Facebook and Instagram, go to theloftonmain.org, email theloftonmaingallery@ gmail.com or call 815-772-4005 for more information and special events.

“You can’t walk into Walmart or Hy-Vee and find Sturgeon caviar,” Schaver said. “You can’t walk in and find octopus. Things like that. We have all types of seafood that you can think of. It’s very interesting.”

Fish also can be used as a less-expensive substitute for ground beef, Schaver said. Samples are offered on occasion, and have included spaghetti, sloppy Joes, chili and tacos, all made with fish instead of beef. “They’re astounded to know that it’s fish,” she said.

Asian carp wasn’t meant to be a big seller 40 years ago, but the Great Flood of 1993 changed that: It was initially imported to control algae in fish farms, but many escaped into the Illinois River during the flood, and made their way to the Mississippi River a few years later.

All told, the fishery handles between 8 to 10 million pounds of various kinds of fish each year.

While fish can have health benefits for people, it’s good for Mother Earth’s diet, too.

Almost 20 years ago, Schafer began making fertilizer from parts previously considered waste, including the head innards, as well as from fish that didn’t

make the cut for human consumption. The practice, however, goes back a lot longer than that. When Pilgrims came to America during the 1600s, Squanto, a Patuxet Native American, showed them how fish could be used to fertilize crops.

Today, the SF Organics line is sold both on the consumer level – in quarts, half-gallons and gallons – as well as in larger quantities to farmers. Much of Schafer’s clientele for the fertilizer are from Amish, Mennonite and Hutterite farms, he said.

“Fish do a wonderful job in increasing soil nutrition,” Schafer said “Dairy farmers spread it on their pastures and it raises the relative feed value of the grasses. A cow only eats what it needs to sustain itself, so they can graze a lot more cattle on the same amount of land. It’s very beneficial to them.”

Schafer’s unique stock of fish and seafood, as well as its fertilizer, makes it a destination for customers from all over looking to add some variety to their menu but can’t find what they want at a big-box store. Their fish is also eligible for those on SNAP assistance, who can use their Illinois Link card to do some fishing from Schafer’s freezer. Regardless of the reason they walk through the door for the first time, it’s likely that they’ll walk through it again.

And when they do, Schafer and his

staff are happy to see them.

“You get to know them and talk to them like a friend instead of just another person across the counter; it’s very family-oriented,” Schaver said. ”It’s interesting and fun that we get a very wide variety of nationalities who come here. It’s real fun for people to come in and be able to pick out their fish. The kids like to come and see the fish in the tank. Some people think it’s fascinating to see us dress fish, others may not like it so much. It’s an interesting place, especially for people who have never been in here.”

While the farm-to-table movement has grown in popularity in recent years, Schafer enjoys being part of a river-to-table movement, introducing folks to the benefits of fresh fish – and once they get a taste of it, he hopes they’ll be hooked on it just like he was all those years ago, when he and his dad would put up the “Gone fishing” sign and head out on a mighty river.

“It’s pretty unique, it really is,” Schafer said. “We have a lot of people who stop in and see what we’re all about.”

Schafer Fisheries, 21985 Waller Road/state Route 84 in Fulton, is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Find it on Facebook, go to schafersmokedfish.com and sf-organics.com or call 815-589-3368 for information.

Erie photographer shines a light on business

By CODY CUTTER ccutter@shawmedia.com

ERIE – Have you ever looked at a picture of a product and said, “I’ll take it”? There’s a chance Steve Sullivan helped you decide to buy it.

Did you ever flip through a grocery flyer in the newspaper and say, “Mmm, that looks good?” Then you probably saw his work (although you would have needed to be an Eagle-eyed shopper to spot it).

Or maybe you saw a photo of a green machine and said, “Nothing looks like a Deere.” If so, then Sullivan may have been the one to make sure you looked at it.

The Erie man’s work has been seen by countless consumers, ending up in mailboxes and magazine racks near and far, and websites around the world.

Sullivan is a commercial photographer who works behind the scenes to set the scene for clients through his freelance business, Steve Sullivan Photography. It’s a job that can be summed up in a few words: pop, stop and shop –make products pop so people will stop and shop – and although his job is a snap, he’s had a lot of time behind the lens to make it look effortless, more than three decades and counting, the past 18 as a freelancer.

“It’s got to make you stop,” Sullivan said. “Whether you’re presenting a product, or introducing someone new, it’s got to draw you into it.”

Since graduating from Southern Illi-

in Rock Island, Erie Foods, Drives (now Timken Drives) in Fulton and Rock Island-based Eagle grocery stores — the photos in the now-closed grocery chain’s Wednesday sales flyers were his work. Sullivan’s business keeps him busy. With companies wanting to get photography work done as quickly as possible, there’s little wiggle room on the schedule, so Sullivan has to make sure each click counts.

Stylists, sales reps, and the occasional hand model work with Sullivan during each photo shoot to help position products so they look their best – they call the shots and he takes them, making sure the light’s right and the camera settings are set.

The photos are snapped and then it’s onto the next assignment.

nois University in Carbondale with a photography degree in 1991, Sullivan has made a career out of telling stories and selling products with the click of a button. He grew up in Rock Island and worked for a professional photography studio in Bettendorf until making the leap into freelancing in 2007. He and his wife, Tori, moved to Erie in 1999 to be close to her family, and Steve has a small studio next to their home, where he works.

As a freelancer, he can choose to accept or decline assignments, some that have been nearby and some that took him a few hours from home. He’s shot product photos at Johnson Rauhoff, a creative agency in Benton Harbor, Michigan; and for companies including Walmart, Sur La Table, Cabela’s and Newell Brands. Bethany Lowe Designs, a vintage holiday decor company, also

called upon Sullivan for its print and online catalogs.

Closer to home, Sullivan has done photos for John Deere, Jumer’s Casino

“The stylists … assign you – ‘Here’s the layout’ – and you have to follow what their direction is. An account rep is there, too. They have it laid out and they call the shots. … You follow whatever they give you.”

With almost 35 years in the profession, the process has become second nature to him.

“I’m reliable, I show up and I do what they ask,” Sullivan said. “I’ve been doing it a long time, so I kind of know what I’m doing. I don’t stumble through it because I’ve done it for so many years. I won’t tell you I’m the best, because there is a lot of good talent out there, but I have years of experience and will get it done. There won’t be a lot of sitting around, and with this, you can’t. It’s off to the next one and they’re ready, ready, ready.”

Businesses not only rely on him to make their products appealing, but to make the people behind them look good, too, with his professional staff portraits and convincingly casual candids.

When it comes to people, Sullivan’s work has included assignments for American Rental Properties in Moline and various shots and events for John Deere. He recently accompanied a 5-year-old and his family on a tour of one of the Deere facilities in the Quad-Cities through the Make-A-Wish program; his shots captured the child’s experience and were given to the family

how some of its equipment worked on the field.

“That’s all candid, looking and pointing at the equipment,” Sullivan said. “That’s fun, because I don’t have to shape it or fold it into a nice neat box, I’m going around looking for smiles.”

Sullivan’s photography experience began in the days when a photo shop was a dark room, not a computer program, and has evolved along with the advances in technology, when memory cards and megabytes have replaced canisters and rolls of film. He’s not young anymore, he’ll admit, and he realizes a new breed of tech-savvy photographers has joined the field.

That doesn’t deter him, it helps make him better, he said.

from a pencil to make an etching on a glass filled with clear liquid pop out – no Photoshop necessary.

“She was making the drinks according to layout, and one of the glasses had an etching on it with a little design, but you couldn’t see it in the photo,” Sullivan said. ”I got my finger dirty with a pencil and I rubbed it on the glass, and it popped. She looked at me and goes, ‘You are old. The young kids would have tried to fix it in Photoshop, but you fixed it right here.’ With film, you kind of had to fix it right there because there was no retouching. It gave it a little bit of gray, with the liquid being clear, and you could see it.”

Another recent event for Deere was for a “Women in Ag” program, where he captured candid shots showing the reactions of office workers getting a look at

“It takes some skill,” Sullivan said. “There are people out there who are really advanced: You got to do the Photoshop, the computer work and on the camera end. I learn a lot from other people. Even today, it’s my favorite thing to do, to talk to another person about what they’re doing, in the photo world especially. Back in the old days of film, it took a little more effort. Now a lot of that can be fixed on a computer.”

Today’s photographers can learn from Sullivan, too. Sometimes old tricks still work, like the time he showed a photographer how using the graphite

On days when he’s not on jobs or editing photos, he works on his new passion – this own artist’s “blue period,” as it were.

Sullivan has recently renewed his interest in another form of photography, cyanotype, a primitive form of blue and white imagery.

Cyanotype photography is a cameraless technique that involves laying an object on paper coated with a solution of chemicals before exposing it to ultraviolet light and washing with water to create stunning white and Prussian blue (cyan) images. Since April 2024, Sullivan

“I remembered it from school, but I couldn’t justify buying the chemistry and paper for that, and in my mind there was no way I was going to make a living on it,” Sullivan said. “I saw other people do it, and I recently visited someone in a hospital and I was in a hallway, and they had these big blue [images]. I did a little reading on them, tried a couple for myself, and a couple of

people said they were amazing. Here I am a year later. I’m having a blast.”

Whether it’s putting products in the spotlight or creating art out of the blue, Sullivan’s storytelling through photos is an ever-evolving adventure, and one that keeps him going after all these years.

“I’ll go until my body quits,” Sullivan said. “I plan to keep doing it. I try to keep up. I like talking with people that come from different experiences, and then maybe they can tell me things.”

Former funeral director opens boutique in Fulton

By BRANDON CLARK bclark@shawmedia.com

Chelsea Lesniewski left behind a world of caskets and embalming fluid to bring her dreams to life.

What began as a small online shop has since blossomed into the brick-and-mortar boutique Homemade Hippie at 1009 Fourth St. in Fulton, where Lesniewski now hosts products from a dozen local small businesses, including everything from handmade candles, lotions and soaps to clothing and the store’s signature service: permanent jewelry.

“It’s a custom-fit bracelet, anklet or necklace that I weld together so it doesn’t come off,” Lesniewski said.

“We use sterling silver and 14-karat gold-filled metals, so they won’t tarnish and can last for years. You can shower, sweat, swim in them – everything.”

Lesniewski’s journey to entrepreneurship started during her “hippie era,” when she began making and selling clay earrings online to keep her mind occupied during

the COVID-19 pandemic. After a few years, she was selling her earrings in other people’s shops and started offering permanent jewelry.

But her work hasn’t always been this lively. Before opening Homemade Hippie in April 2023, Lesniewski was a funeral director and embalmer.

“It’s something I had always wanted to do since junior high,” Lesniewski said of her new business.

“Once I started selling my clay earrings in other stores, I started to think, ‘Oh, I could open one of these stores, maybe do something a little more happy.’”

The shop operates from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays.

Morrison geared up for second season in NUIC

By TERRY DUCKETT

Shaw Local News Network correspondent

Charter members of the Three Rivers Conference since its 1975 inception, the Morrison football squad sailed into new waters last fall.

Making their debut as members of the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference, the Mustangs almost overcame a bumpy start to their first NUIC campaign to book themselves a third consecutive trip to the IHSA postseason.

Unfortunately for Morrison, a threegame losing streak over the final third of the season coupled with three losses in its first four games resulted in a disappointing 3-6 finish.

However, third-year head coach Nate Vandermyde is hoping that the experience his club gained during its first year of NUIC play will translate into a turnaround year in 2025 after finishing seventh out of nine teams with a 2-6 league mark.

“That was something we preached last year, that in the NUIC, there are no off-weeks,” said the 2008 Morrison graduate, who quarterbacked the Mustangs to the Class 2A semifinals in 2006 and the 2A quarterfinals the following season.

“You’ve got to bring your best to the table every week, or you’re going to end up on the wrong side of things. With the TRAC, we’d gotten accustomed to several teams after playing them multiple times. With the NUIC, we knew it would be tough, but it was still something new.

“Last year gave us that chance to see it and feel it for ourselves, and now the guys know what it’s all about,” added Vandermyde. “It’s not just us as a coaching staff letting them know.”

The strength of the Mustangs’ 2024 schedule was such that five of their six losses came against playoff teams, including conference champion and Class 1A state runner-up LenaWinslow and 3A quarterfinalist Durand-Pecatonica.

The final setback in Morrison’s season-ending three-game skid stung on a deeper level. In the resumption of their Wooden Shoe Bowl rivalry game with longtime Three Rivers adversary Fulton (which joined the NUIC in 2021), the ‘Stangs went into the offseason with a 41-7 loss.

The loss to the Steamers came one

week after a hard-fought 18-13 setback to Eastland-Pearl City, a setback that eliminated Vandermyde’s team from playoff contention.

“The way we finished, with a tough loss to Stockton (54-14 in Week 7) and then losing to EPC took the wind out of our sails. We did not respond well the following week against Fulton,” he said. “Our guys are using that finish as motivation going into this year.”

Returning six starters on the offensive side of the ball along with five defensive starters, the Mustangs return a pair of All-NUIC standouts in junior placekicker Josh McDearmon (first team) and senior linebacker Noah Robbins (second team), with McDearmon taking on a wider role this fall at wide receiver.

“Josh has been our kicker the last two years, but he’s been very important to us this offseason with his route running,” said Vandermyde, “and

we’ve got senior Carson Blade coming into the role of quarterback, and he’s taken the ship, if you will.”

The senior running back/defensive back duo of Brady Anderson and Levi Milder is among those Vandermyde is looking at to fill key roles for Morrison, which lost All-Conference picks Austin Boonstra (second team defensive line) and Donny Reavy (honorable mention running back) to graduation.
