Following Gov. JB Pritzker’s declaration of the monkeypox virus (MPV) as a public health emergency, the Whiteside County Health Department is providing an update on the JYNNEOS vaccine (also known as Imvamune or Imvanex), which has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of the monkeypox virus infection.
Because of limited supply, the JYNNEOS vaccine currently is prioritized in areas with recent cases of MPV and currently is not available in Whiteside County.
WCHD will issue additional information and guidance once the vaccine becomes available.
To help protect yourself and others from MPV and other illnesses, individuals who develop a new or unusual rash or who have symptoms of MPV should contact their primary health care provider.
Individuals are encouraged to take the following steps to reduce their risks of getting MPV: • Avoid close, skin-to-skin contact with people who have a rash that looks like MPV.
• Do not touch the rash or scabs of a person with MPV. • Do not kiss, hug, cuddle or have sex with someone with MPV. • Avoid contact with objects and materials that a person with MPV has used. • Do not share eating utensils or cups with a person with MPV. • Do not handle or touch the bedding, towels or clothing of a person with MPV. • Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, especially before eating or touching your face and after you use the bathroom.
WCHD reminds residents that while c e r t a in i n d i v i du a l s ma y b e a t a n increased risk of exposure to MPV at this time, the disease does not discriminate. Anyone can contract and transmit MPV.
WCHD encourages individuals to continue to monitor the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and t h e Il l in o is D ep ar t me nt o f P u b li c Health for situational updates and new guidance as this outbreak continues.
Additional information is available on Illinois’ Monkeypox Page and the CDC Monkeypox websites.

MORRISON – Since 1989, the Whiteside County Fair Board has honored those who have made an extra effort to support and make the annual fair as much fun as possible for those who participate and attend the many shows and events.
The 2022 Friend of the Fair is the Venhuizen family.
The Venhuizen family started participating in the Whiteside County Fair some years ago, when Kenny and Nancy both showed beef cattle when they were young kids in 4-H.
Kenny and Nancy were married in 1956. Their children Tom and Kim also grew up showing beef cattle and even added in showing hogs.
K e nn y, w i t h t h e h e l p o f T o m , enjoyed restoring antique tractors and displaying them on the grounds and in the parade. Kenny began tractor pulling in the 1960s at the fair, and he became the superintendent of the tractor pull in the early 1970s.
The Venhuizen family was always there to help with the pull. Kenny built many pulling tractors over the years and most donned the name “Blue Max.”
After years of helping and watching his dad build pulling tractors, Tom started his tractor pulling career in 1977 by building his own modified tractor named “Panic.”
After hard years of farming, both men retired from the competitor side of tractor pulling, but the call to the track was still strong for the Venhuizen men.
In the early 1990s, Kenny purchased his sled called “Mean Green” and operated it at the tractor pull. Later in the 1990s, Tom and Amy bought a sled. Their sled, called “The Mechanical Mule,” took over the pull after Kenny sold his sled and retired from pulling.
The Venhuizen family has operated their sleds down the track at the Whiteside County Fair many times for many years. Last year was the final time that Tom ran his sled down the track.
Tom retired from pulling after 26 years of running the Mechanical Mule.
Kenny passed in December 2020. His presence at Tom’s final time down the track was felt by many.
The Whiteside County Fair Board thanks the Venhuizen family for all they have done for this fair and the many other fairs.

They were selected by the fair board for their many contributions, but especially for their devotion to tractor pull events.
Janice McCoy named reg ional assistant director for Extension
Janice McCoy has provided University of Illinois Extension educational programs and leadership for residents of Carroll, Lee and Whiteside counties for more than 20 years.
McCoy now will oversee 39 counties in western and central Illinois as the region’s newest Extension assistant director.
McCoy’s Extension career began in 2001 as a family life educator before transitioning to county director for Carroll, Lee and Whiteside counties.
“My most important role as assistant director will be to ensure that each of the 10 units has a solid program plan that serves the needs of their communities,” McCoy said. “Designing researchbased programs that improve the lives of individuals and communities is the c o r e m i s s i o n o f Extension and our local counties are the point of access.”
M c C o y t r a n s i tioned to her new role Aug. 1.
“Extension is a t r e m e n d o u s resource for local communities,” McCoy said. “We harness the groundbreaking research done in myriad areas and make that useable for all people.”
McCoy believes Extension transforms people’s lives.
“We are developing young leaders in our 4-H programs – the next generation of the workforce, public servants and volunteers. We are helping farmers increase their productivity to feed the world. Families benefit from learning how to raise their children, nourish their households and care for those they love.”
A network of volunteers assist in the development and delivery of Extension programs, including volunteers who work with 4-H, Master Gardeners, Master Naturalists and Money Mentor programs.
“Extension really is the glue that brings groups together to make a difference,” McCoy said, “and our local staff are incredible resources. They work every day to help their communities thrive and prosper. They are focused on the mission of Extension and helping people improve the quality of their lives.”
McCoy also is the president of the Illinois Epsilon Sigma Phi professional association chapter and has been an active member of the National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences, receiving the Distinguished Service Award in 2014.
“Extension has a local presence in every Illinois county, allowing it to seamlessly link communities, businesses and the public to the innovative research of the university and its partners. A regional network provides support for the organization’s 650 staff members,” said Judy Mae Bingman, Illinois Extension Marketing and Communication Manager.
