Residents express frustration with board

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Albany board of trustees had a full gallery of residents at their April 5 meeting with many expressing their dissatisfaction at board decisions and lack of transparency.

Sherry Price requested answers on the purchase of railroad property along the river, claiming there’s been a hold-up by village officials. She and other citizens are hoping to develop the land for use by the community.

Richard “Floyd” Boston said he was seeking answers on $8,500 spent on docks, but despite a FOIA request he still did not receive the information he sought.

Phil Lemke said he’d been asking for over two years for a speaker and microphone so he could better hear the board, but has yet to be accommodated.

Mark Udhe wondered why there was no communication regarding a 48-hour water shutdown, and asked for clarifica-

tion on an electric dog fence ordinance, citing concerns over neighborhood “hot spots with dogs that charge.”

Udhe also asked why the board hasn’t pursued any grants for infrastructure or completed projects in the works, some from when he resigned his trustee position two years ago.

“Everything has been in the works for two years,” said Udhe.

Dan Bitler, formerly employed by the village, asked why Village President Brian Rowland accepted the Building and Zoning Inspector position, when state law asserts a public official can’t appoint themselves to another paid position.

Rowland said he “took it over” because no one wanted the role.

After the gallery comments, the board approved a revised 2020-21 budget, and passed the 2021-22 budget.

They approved hiring Frank’s Flying Service for mosquito spraying from May through September, at a cost of $1,000 per spray. They approved implementing

Police chief Engle remembered by his peers on anniversary of his death

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Numerous first responders and police officers from area departments joined family, friends, and community members to remember Hampton/Rapids City Police Chief Terry Engle on the first anniversary of his death on April 11 at Hampton Heritage Center.

Engle, 57, passed away after a car crash while responding to an emergency call last year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no public memorial services were held.

Hampton and Rapids City mayors Richard Vershaw and Harold Mire presented Engle’s wife Kathleen with a case containing an American flag that flew on the State Capitol building April 17 19, along with a letter from the governor and a photo of the flag flying.

State Rep. Tony McCombie was recognized for her efforts in obtaining the memorial for the family.

Mire also remembered Engle as a “selfless and righteous servant, with a goal to help protect his fellow man.” He recalled the love and attention Engle gave to his wife and grandkids, as well as the children in the community.

the Code Red village alert system at a cost of $1,700 a year for three years, with sign-up information to be presented to residents.

They also waived a 5% utility tax at the request of Jo Carroll Energy.

Logan Foster requested a trade-in of two riding lawn mowers for the Public Works Dept., but the board asked him to come back with more quotes for the continuation meeting on April 21.

Police Chief Wyatt Heyvaert also asked the board to look into purchasing a new radio system for the department, after the Whiteside County Sheriff “forced hands” when moving from analog to digital, with the village’s system unable to link up to the new Starcom system.

He said the Albany Fire Protection District could purchase the village’s system, which would provide funds to help cover the purchase. Heyvaert added that he needs to find a system that works in the bluffs and Meredosia Rd., which can be “rough.”

Derek Grant plays the bagpipes at the memorial service for Police Chief Terry Engle April 11.

Police Chaplain and Pastor Tony Liston of Adventure Church, where Engle attended, recalled the years of friendship with him, saying he was an honorable man dedicated to his family, faith, and community.

“Heroes are common people who show us we don’t have to live commonly. Terry was one of these heroes. He aspired to more and chose to live to a higher standard,” said Liston. He asked those in attendance to write down their stories of Terry so they can be passed on to his future generations.

The End of Watch Call was then dispatched through RICOMM, followed by Derek Grant playing the bagpipes, and the Honor Guard retiring before the procession out.

The sights and sounds of kids and spring sports have returned to Dorrance Park in Port Byron, after the pandemic completely cancelled last year’s season.

With some restrictions still in place, including mask-wearing and social distancing, children in upper Rock Island County are back on the fields this spring. URICRA is abiding by IDHP guidelines, so masks will also be required for spectators.

Any children under quarantine due to exposure at school or elsewhere will not be able to practice or play during that time.

Despite the challenges, soccer practice and games are already underway, with baseball not far behind.

Soccer games are held Saturday mornings at Dorrance Park through mid-May, or at Riverdale Middle School for the older kids, with spectators welcome.

Walk-in registration is planned this week at River Valley District Library for baseball, t-ball and softball: Thursday, April 15 from 5 – 7 p.m. and Saturday, April 17 from 10 a.m.

– noon. Online registration is also available, with information on the URICRA Facebook page.

Bobbie Jenkins, president for URICRA, said a record 145 kids signed up for soccer, and 120 are already signed up for baseball.

There is still a need for coaches and volunteers, and anyone interested can contact her at 309-236-5480 or mbjnx@live.com.

MORRISON – Organizers of the Whiteside County Fair are working to prepare for the 150th fair while keeping an eye on the COVID-19 pandemic.

The fair is slated to open Tuesday, Aug. 17, and conclude Saturday, Aug. 21.

“The 150th annual fair, held at the fairgrounds in Morrison, will include an outstanding carnival, amazing food, games, livestock, harness racing, a large variety of exhibits, a lineup of evening entertainment that is sure to please and much, much more,” Mickley said. “It was a difficult decision to cancel last year’s fair due to the COVID-19 restrictions and we are excited for the fair to return in 2021.”

2021 ELECTION

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

What the money can and will be used for will be determined over the course of the next few weeks in discussions with federal and state officials, Health

Department Administrator Cheryl Lee said, noting the rules vary depending on where the money comes from, and local officials need to make sure they are allocating the funds correctly.

The grant was awarded through the federal Department of Health and Human Services as a direct result of the American Rescue Plan, U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline, said in a news release.

Three other agencies – the Knox County Health Department, the Henderson County Rural Health Center and the Crusaders Central Clinic Association – also received grants, which together totaled $14.7 million.

YOUR HEALTH

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Pericarditis is a potentially significant problem of inflammation or infection around the heart lining.

The heart, like many organs, has a thin lining that in certain situations may be filled with fluid or inflamed. If there is enough of this inflammation or fluid, it will cause significant symptoms or problems when the heart attempts to beat to its full affect. This may lead to chest pain, especially with breathing. It is common to have a lowgrade fever and an increased heart rate.

Many people have pericarditis and do not even know it because the inflammation and degree is so mild. They may experience mild discomfort, thinking it is only a muscle strain.

Symptoms can get more dramatic and lead to significant shortness of breath and even radiate to other areas, mimicking a heart attack. Some will find lying down causes more symptoms because of where the fluid accumulates, while leaning forward may lessen the pressure on the heart.

Causes behind this include viral infections, including COVID-19. More serious infections, such as bacterial,

are rare, but other causes include trauma and autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and other connective tissue disease.

The diagnosis of pericarditis is not an easy one to make, even in the more advanced cases. It may be confused with other conditions. For example, if the patient had a recent infection of the lungs, it may be confused with pleurisy, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.

For patients who are ill enough to go to the emergency room, an EKG is often performed, which gives a strong clue.

This condition then can be confirmed by the more sensitive echocardiogram.

The treatment of the condition varies depending on the severity and cause. The treatment is directed at the underlying source, as well as symptoms. In many cases, basic treatment with anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and Aleve may be all that is necessary. Steroids may be employed when more inflammation reduction is necessary. Antibiotics are used to counter a small portion of the infectious pericarditis that are approachable. In rare incidents, a surgical procedure may be necessary to create a drain of the excess fluid and pressure.

Made in America, made in Morrison Morrison Tech’s Innovation Center helps school, community

BY CODY CUTTER

ccutter@shawmedia.com MORRISON – Colleges with twoyear degree programs have two main disciplines: arts and science.

The Morrison Institute of Technology leans more into the science aspect of learning. However, there is a creative side to the curriculum at the college.

The institute lived up to its reputation as an innovator in 2019 when it opened its aptly named Innovation Center, a facility it touts as “fulfilling a need and a dream,” doing both by providing a place where ideas and concepts become reality all under one roof that’s supported by three of the college’s key pillars: students, community members and businesses.

The “crown jewel” of the campus, the Innovation Center gives students an opportunity for hands-on learning, community members a venue where they can tap into their creativity, and businesses a place where they can get help with projects, prototypes and production.

It also gives people a place where they can invest in the college and the community by buying products that are uniquely Morrison.

The Made@MorrisonTech Marketplace sells students’ and staff’s handiwork, homemade in the institute’s hometown, with proceeds put back into students’ educational experiences.

Products begin with a concept, followed by a design generated by computer-aided design software. Prototypes are made using 3D printers, computer numerical control machinery, or both.

The last step is to bring the design into reality.

“Our goal is that not only do the students get to take it home, but we can make extras to sell them in the marketplace to help raise money for additional equipment for this facility,” Morrison Tech President Christopher Scott said.

Products range from smaller items such as picture frames, bird feeders, clocks and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired lamps to larger items such as tables, chairs, desks and adjustable shelving.

Morrison Tech President Christopher Scott shows off pagoda-inspired bird feeders, which are one of the projects that students can choose to work on at Morrison Institute of Technology.

• INNOVATION CENTER The products require – and teach students – a variety of woodworking techniques, from traditional in which no metal fasteners and glue are used to more modern techniques in which students learn to master machinery.

Clocks teach the basics of planning, joinery, table and bandsaw skill, and mortising.

Desk lamps provide lessons in laser cutting and electrical work. Bee houses are made with CNC routing. Disc-shaped smartphone speakers and amplifiers also are among the projects.

“Our curriculum is all engineering and design work, but we want our students to have that hands-on experience so they can become better designers,” Scott said. “We also want to give them lifelong skills that can help them with using the equipment and techniques here.”

An increasing global economy has increased demand for American-made products at home, but they’re not always easy to find. People want distinctive, handmade products with a personal touch, Scott said.

Another added benefit: showcasing student projects helps bring a piece of Morrison Tech to homes and businesses throughout the community.

The Innovation Center gives entrepreneurs, students, artisans and local businesses a technological playground to help turn their ideas into reality. It was com-

pleted after nearly 10 years from concept, and done through a collaborative effort with the Morrison Area Development Corp., Whiteside County Economic Development, Blackhawk Hills Regional Council and the local Rural Development office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Grants from the Timken Foundation of Canton, Ohio, and the USDA aided in the center’s development.

Morrison Tech has a lot to be proud of lately. It recently was ranked the No. 1 twoyear college in the Midwest for return on investment for students by Georgetown University’s Career on Education and the Workforce. The college has a 97% career placement rate, with an average starting salary of $48,000.

“Of course the building should be for our students, but it also should be for the local artisan,” Scott said. “It should be for the local industry, and it should be for the entrepreneur. Taking those four groups of people, how can we let them interact with each other and gain experience and knowledge along the way? Made@MorrisonTech is one of those programs that helps with that.”

The campus has plans to grow in the future. A sawmill, for example, is in the works.

“We really want to try and get this secret out to the public about who we are,” Scott said. “We’ve been doing some incredible things here for 50 years now, and we’re really, really good at what we do. Hopefully Alex T.

FOOTBALL

Fulton rolls past rival Morrison, 56-0, for trophy

BY CODY CUTTER

ccutter@saukvalley.com MORRISON – The esteemed Wooden Shoe is headed to Fulton, and it’s going to stay there for quite a while.

The traveling trophy, awarded to the winner of football games between the Steamers and the Morrison Mustangs, won’t be played for in the near future due to the Steamers moving to the NUIC next year.

April 9’s 56-0 Steamers shutout at E.M. “Bud” Cole Field assured bragging rights to the trophy – a real wood shoe fastened to the bottom of a plaque base – until whenever an opportunity arises that the two schools play each other again.

Fulton (3-0) will hold on to it for a long time, but it didn’t take very long for the Steamers to have complete command of the game.

Kyler Pessman ran back the opening kickoff more than 90 yards to put the Steamers up 7-0, and when the Mustangs returned the ensuing kickoff, it wound up being a disaster for them. The Mustangs (1-3) fumbled the ball and it landed within Zach Dykstra’s reach to give the

Morrison defense surrounds Fulton’s Kyler Pessman (34) during their Three Rivers game Friday night at E.M. “Bud” Cole Field in Morrison. The Steamers won 56-0 to claim the Wooden Shoe trophy.

Steamers the ball back at the Morrison 20-yards line.

Dykstra called it a bit of luck, but it was his quick actions that kept the Steamers’ momentum sailing.

“I saw one of my guys right in

front of me, and Morrison all around me,” Dykstra said. “All of a sudden I see this ball pop up above everybody and it falls down, one guy went for it and missed it, and I just jumped on it, hoping I could have it. I don’t

know how, but I somehow got it and I was hanging on for dear life.”

Ethan Rash covered those 20 yards on the next play, running in for a 14-0 lead.

The pair of blows took just 28 seconds.

Pessman later added a touchdown reception and a rushing TD as he scored three different ways.

“The kickoff return was big-time,” Pessman said. “We wanted to get off to a fast start, and that kickoff return was so important because it really boosted our confidence. From then on, when we scored [next], we just had so much confidence in ourselves and got the job done.”

Pessman’s rushing score and a Jacob Jones TD reception put the Steamers up 28-0 after one quarter; Fulton had outgained Morrison 120-3 at that point, and also had two potential touchdowns called back due to penalties.

“They got us from the kickoff,” Mustangs quarterback Nathan Helms said. “They ran it back, got the momentum, and they played really well, they played aggressive,

Continued from Page 7 they wanted it. Not that we didn’t want it, but it was depleting after the couple of scores. It just kept rolling their way, and hats off to them, they played a real good game.”

Rash also added a rushing and a receiving score before halftime, and Fulton led 49-0. Jones added his second rushing TD in the fourth quarter.

Rash ended with 128 yards on 11 carries; quarterback Connor Barnett completed 7 of 8 passes for 109 yards.

“Our sophomore year we won it at home, and it was a great experience and super fun,” Pessman said of the trophy. “Our junior year we lost it, and that was rough. It sucked losing the Wooden Shoe, so this year we came in here really motivated from losing last year, and we got off to that fast start and went from there.”

Morrison managed only 37 total yards, and was stopped in the backfield nine times. Helms was picked off twice.

“All we can do is go into practice next week and just forget everything that happened,” Helms said.

The trophy was created years after the Lincoln Highway rivals played their first game. According to a written history by former Mustangs coach and athletic director Gus Linke, “The purpose was to provide motivation to the intense football rivalry and lend a sportsmanship flavor to the strong Dutch heritage of both communities.”

The two schools played their first football game in 1901, but the series was played intermittently until 1946. The shoe, which came from Morrison High custodian Ralph Keiser, was first fought for in 1977.

Morrison leads the series 56-29-5; that record includes playoff games.

With both schools being in Class 1A for the foreseeable future, the chances of the Mustangs and Steamers playing again aren’t entirely gone.

“They shut us out last year, and our seniors and our juniors knew that, ever since we were in second grade, knew that this was going to be our golden year,” Rash said.

“Now that our season’s cut short, it sucks because we wanted to have a shot to take it all the way, but it feels really good to get revenge on Morrison.”

Residents express frustration with board

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Albany board of trustees had a full gallery of residents at their April 5 meeting with many expressing their dissatisfaction at board decisions and lack of transparency.

Sherry Price requested answers on the purchase of railroad property along the river, claiming there’s been a hold-up by village officials. She and other citizens are hoping to develop the land for use by the community.

Richard “Floyd” Boston said he was seeking answers on $8,500 spent on docks, but despite a FOIA request he still did not receive the information he sought.

Phil Lemke said he’d been asking for over two years for a speaker and microphone so he could better hear the board, but has yet to be accommodated.

Mark Udhe wondered why there was no communication regarding a 48-hour water shutdown, and asked for clarifica-

tion on an electric dog fence ordinance, citing concerns over neighborhood “hot spots with dogs that charge.”

Udhe also asked why the board hasn’t pursued any grants for infrastructure or completed projects in the works, some from when he resigned his trustee position two years ago.

“Everything has been in the works for two years,” said Udhe.

Dan Bitler, formerly employed by the village, asked why Village President Brian Rowland accepted the Building and Zoning Inspector position, when state law asserts a public official can’t appoint themselves to another paid position.

Rowland said he “took it over” because no one wanted the role.

After the gallery comments, the board approved a revised 2020-21 budget, and passed the 2021-22 budget.

They approved hiring Frank’s Flying Service for mosquito spraying from May through September, at a cost of $1,000 per spray. They approved implementing

the Code Red village alert system at a cost of $1,700 a year for three years, with sign-up information to be presented to residents.

They also waived a 5% utility tax at the request of Jo Carroll Energy.

Logan Foster requested a trade-in of two riding lawn mowers for the Public Works Dept., but the board asked him to come back with more quotes for the continuation meeting on April 21.

Police Chief Wyatt Heyvaert also asked the board to look into purchasing a new radio system for the department, after the Whiteside County Sheriff “forced hands” when moving from analog to digital, with the village’s system unable to link up to the new Starcom system.

He said the Albany Fire Protection District could purchase the village’s system, which would provide funds to help cover the purchase. Heyvaert added that he needs to find a system that works in the bluffs and Meredosia Rd., which can be “rough.”

BRIEFS

Police chief Engle remembered by his peers on anniversary of his death

URICRA walk-in registration has been set for this week

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Numerous first responders and police officers from area departments joined family, friends, and community members to remember Hampton/Rapids City Police Chief Terry Engle on the first anniversary of his death on April 11 at Hampton Heritage Center.

Engle, 57, passed away after a car crash while responding to an emergency call last year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no public memorial services were held.

Hampton and Rapids City mayors Richard Vershaw and Harold Mire presented Engle’s wife Kathleen with a case containing an American flag that flew on the State Capitol building April 17 19, along with a letter from the governor and a photo of the flag flying.

State Rep. Tony McCombie was recognized for her efforts in obtaining the memorial for the family.

Mire also remembered Engle as a “selfless and righteous servant, with a goal to help protect his fellow man.” He recalled the love and attention Engle gave to his wife and grandkids, as well as the children in the community.

Sarah Ford/For Shaw Media

Derek Grant plays the bagpipes at the memorial service for Police Chief Terry Engle April 11.

Police Chaplain and Pastor Tony Liston of Adventure Church, where Engle attended, recalled the years of friendship with him, saying he was an honorable man dedicated to his family, faith, and community.

“Heroes are common people who show us we don’t have to live commonly. Terry was one of these heroes. He aspired to more and chose to live to a higher standard,” said Liston. He asked those in attendance to write down their stories of Terry so they can be passed on to his future generations.

The End of Watch Call was then dispatched through RICOMM, followed by Derek Grant playing the bagpipes, and the Honor Guard retiring before the procession out.

The sights and sounds of kids and spring sports have returned to Dorrance Park in Port Byron, after the pandemic completely cancelled last year’s season.

With some restrictions still in place, including mask-wearing and social distancing, children in upper Rock Island County are back on the fields this spring. URICRA is abiding by IDHP guidelines, so masks will also be required for spectators.

Any children under quarantine due to exposure at school or elsewhere will not be able to practice or play during that time.

Despite the challenges, soccer practice and games are already underway, with baseball not far behind.

Soccer games are held Saturday mornings at Dorrance Park through mid-May, or at Riverdale Middle School for the older kids, with spectators welcome.

Walk-in registration is planned this week at River Valley District Library for baseball, t-ball and softball: Thursday, April 15 from 5 – 7 p.m. and Saturday, April 17 from 10 a.m.

– noon. Online registration is also available, with information on the URICRA Facebook page.

Bobbie Jenkins, president for URICRA, said a record 145 kids signed up for soccer, and 120 are already signed up for baseball.

There is still a need for coaches and volunteers, and anyone interested can contact her at 309-236-5480 or mbjnx@live.com.

Event is slated for Aug. 17-21 MORRISON – Organizers of the Whiteside County Fair are working to prepare for the 150th fair while keeping an eye on the COVID-19 pandemic.

“An impressive lineup of entertainment is on tap at this year’s fair and is sure to please all who attend,” Todd Mickley, Whiteside County Fair publicity and advertising, said in an April 6 news release.

The fair is slated to open Tuesday, Aug. 17, and conclude Saturday, Aug. 21.

“The 150th annual fair, held at the fairgrounds in Morrison, will include an outstanding carnival, amazing food, games, livestock, harness racing, a large variety of exhibits, a lineup of evening entertainment that is sure to please and much, much more,” Mickley said. “It was a difficult decision to cancel last year’s fair due to the COVID-19 restrictions and we are excited for the fair to return in 2021.”

Mickley said fair officials will continue to monitor COVID-19 concerns in the coming months and will adhere to state guidelines and regulations to assist in maintaining the safety of all who attend.

“Be on the lookout for future press releases or visit our Facebook page as we begin to release the sensational entertainment lineup for the 150th fair,” Mickley said. “We greatly appreciate you supporting the Whiteside County Fair and look forward to everyone joining the festivities in celebrating 150 years of heritage, community, family and fun. Without your continued support, the success of our fair would not be possible.”

2021 ELECTION

Voters decide on new leadership, representation

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media Though voter turnout was low, Rock Island and Whiteside County voters helped decide the future of their cities and villages by casting ballots on April 6.

Based on unofficial results posted on County Clerk websites, these contested races were called after the Consolidated Election.

Incumbent Prophetstown mayor Steven Swanson retained his seat over challenger John Leoni by a vote of 212-119, while Larry Dessing edged out Dale Etheridge for Ward 1 Alderman, 82-68.

Fulton voters chose Wendy Ottens as mayor over Kevin Wright by 318156, and Paul Banker over Teresa Decker for Ward 4 Alderman, 112-74.

Former Port Byron Village Clerk Barb Cray edged out incumbent Bruce Peterson for mayor by a vote of 136-118.

Morrison voters gave Scott Vandermyde a decisive mayoral win over Vernon Tervelt, by a vote of 473-105.

Cordova had three 4-year trustee positions open, with five candidates vying. Tammy Havens, Jeff Claus, and Della Scott garnered the majority of votes, with Julie Hager and Robert VanHooreweghe falling short.

In Hillsdale, newcomer Tonya Hanrahan defeated incumbent Russell Dunn for a 2-year trustee term.

Voter turnout was especially high in Albany, with many citizens taking to the voting booth to decide on a new mayor and four trustees.

Victorious were Steven Dyson for Village President, Joyce Tegeler,

Sarah Ford/For Shaw Media

Albany Election Judges Becky Hovey, Pat Anglese, Chris Wilson, and Janet Price put in a full day at the Albany Methodist Church.

Richard “Floyd” Boston, and Brandi Tiesman as trustees for a 4-year term, and Phillip Lemke for a 2-year term.

Election Judge Chris Wilson said the polling place at Albany United Methodist Church had 319 voters, which is “unheard of for our town” and nearly triple the average for a Consolidated Election.

“People are concerned enough that they came out to vote. It was very smooth, no issues, no negativity,” she said of the atmosphere.

Two tax proposals on local ballots passed – in Rapids City, a proposed 1% increase to the sales tax rate was approved by a vote of 100-16, and in Morrison, a restoration tax levy passed by 301-248.

The Whiteside County Clerk’s Office said 5,362 voters out of 38,141

registered voters cast a ballot in this election, for a 14.1% turnout. There were 4,911 ballots cast in person, 269 in early voting, and 182 vote-bymail.

WCHD gets $2.7 million federal grant to fight coronavirus The Whiteside County Health Department is getting a $2,739,750 federal grant for COVID-19 efforts.

What the money can and will be used for will be determined over the course of the next few weeks in discussions with federal and state officials, Health

Department Administrator Cheryl Lee said, noting the rules vary depending on where the money comes from, and local officials need to make sure they are allocating the funds correctly.

The grant was awarded through the federal Department of Health and Human Services as a direct result of the American Rescue Plan, U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline, said in a news release.

Three other agencies – the Knox County Health Department, the Henderson County Rural Health Center and the Crusaders Central Clinic Association – also received grants, which together totaled $14.7 million.

YOUR HEALTH

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Pericarditis is a potentially significant problem of inflammation or infection around the heart lining.

The heart, like many organs, has a thin lining that in certain situations may be filled with fluid or inflamed. If there is enough of this inflammation or fluid, it will cause significant symptoms or problems when the heart attempts to beat to its full affect. This may lead to chest pain, especially with breathing. It is common to have a lowgrade fever and an increased heart rate.

Many people have pericarditis and do not even know it because the inflammation and degree is so mild. They may experience mild discomfort, thinking it is only a muscle strain.

Symptoms can get more dramatic and lead to significant shortness of breath and even radiate to other areas, mimicking a heart attack. Some will find lying down causes more symptoms because of where the fluid accumulates, while leaning forward may lessen the pressure on the heart.

Causes behind this include viral infections, including COVID-19. More serious infections, such as bacterial,

are rare, but other causes include trauma and autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and other connective tissue disease.

The diagnosis of pericarditis is not an easy one to make, even in the more advanced cases. It may be confused with other conditions. For example, if the patient had a recent infection of the lungs, it may be confused with pleurisy, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.

For patients who are ill enough to go to the emergency room, an EKG is often performed, which gives a strong clue.

This condition then can be confirmed by the more sensitive echocardiogram.

The treatment of the condition varies depending on the severity and cause. The treatment is directed at the underlying source, as well as symptoms. In many cases, basic treatment with anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen and Aleve may be all that is necessary. Steroids may be employed when more inflammation reduction is necessary. Antibiotics are used to counter a small portion of the infectious pericarditis that are approachable. In rare incidents, a surgical procedure may be necessary to create a drain of the excess fluid and pressure.

Made in America, made in Morrison Morrison Tech’s Innovation Center helps school, community

BY CODY CUTTER

ccutter@shawmedia.com MORRISON – Colleges with twoyear degree programs have two main disciplines: arts and science.

The Morrison Institute of Technology leans more into the science aspect of learning. However, there is a creative side to the curriculum at the college.

The institute lived up to its reputation as an innovator in 2019 when it opened its aptly named Innovation Center, a facility it touts as “fulfilling a need and a dream,” doing both by providing a place where ideas and concepts become reality all under one roof that’s supported by three of the college’s key pillars: students, community members and businesses.

The “crown jewel” of the campus, the Innovation Center gives students an opportunity for hands-on learning, community members a venue where they can tap into their creativity, and businesses a place where they can get help with projects, prototypes and production.

It also gives people a place where they can invest in the college and the community by buying products that are uniquely Morrison.

The Made@MorrisonTech Marketplace sells students’ and staff’s handiwork, homemade in the institute’s hometown, with proceeds put back into students’ educational experiences.

Products begin with a concept, followed by a design generated by computer-aided design software. Prototypes are made using 3D printers, computer numerical control machinery, or both.

The last step is to bring the design into reality.

“Our goal is that not only do the students get to take it home, but we can make extras to sell them in the marketplace to help raise money for additional equipment for this facility,” Morrison Tech President Christopher Scott said.

Products range from smaller items such as picture frames, bird feeders, clocks and Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired lamps to larger items such as tables, chairs, desks and adjustable shelving.

• INNOVATION CENTER The products require – and teach students – a variety of woodworking techniques, from traditional in which no metal fasteners and glue are used to more modern techniques in which students learn to master machinery.

Clocks teach the basics of planning, joinery, table and bandsaw skill, and mortising.

Desk lamps provide lessons in laser cutting and electrical work. Bee houses are made with CNC routing. Disc-shaped smartphone speakers and amplifiers also are among the projects.

“Our curriculum is all engineering and design work, but we want our students to have that hands-on experience so they can become better designers,” Scott said. “We also want to give them lifelong skills that can help them with using the equipment and techniques here.”

An increasing global economy has increased demand for American-made products at home, but they’re not always easy to find. People want distinctive, handmade products with a personal touch, Scott said.

Another added benefit: showcasing student projects helps bring a piece of Morrison Tech to homes and businesses throughout the community.

pleted after nearly 10 years from concept, and done through a collaborative effort with the Morrison Area Development Corp., Whiteside County Economic Development, Blackhawk Hills Regional Council and the local Rural Development office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Grants from the Timken Foundation of Canton, Ohio, and the USDA aided in the center’s development.

Morrison Tech has a lot to be proud of lately. It recently was ranked the No. 1 twoyear college in the Midwest for return on investment for students by Georgetown University’s Career on Education and the Workforce. The college has a 97% career placement rate, with an average starting salary of $48,000.

“Of course the building should be for our students, but it also should be for the local artisan,” Scott said. “It should be for the local industry, and it should be for the entrepreneur.

FOOTBALL

Fulton rolls past rival Morrison, 56-0, for trophy

BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@saukvalley.com MORRISON – The esteemed Wooden Shoe is headed to Fulton, and it’s going to stay there for quite a while.

The traveling trophy, awarded to the winner of football games between the Steamers and the Morrison Mustangs, won’t be played for in the near future due to the Steamers moving to the NUIC next year.

April 9’s 56-0 Steamers shutout at E.M. “Bud” Cole Field assured bragging rights to the trophy – a real wood shoe fastened to the bottom of a plaque base – until whenever an opportunity arises that the two schools play each other again.

Fulton (3-0) will hold on to it for a long time, but it didn’t take very long for the Steamers to have complete command of the game.

Kyler Pessman ran back the opening kickoff more than 90 yards to put the Steamers up 7-0, and when the Mustangs returned the ensuing kickoff, it wound up being a disaster for them. The Mustangs (1-3) fumbled the ball and it landed within Zach Dykstra’s reach to give the

Morrison defense surrounds Fulton’s Kyler Pessman (34) during their Three Rivers game Friday night at E.M. “Bud” Cole Field in Morrison. The Steamers won 56-0 to claim the Wooden Shoe trophy.

Steamers the ball back at the Morrison 20-yards line.

Dykstra called it a bit of luck, but it was his quick actions that kept the Steamers’ momentum sailing.

“I saw one of my guys right in

front of me, and Morrison all around me,” Dykstra said. “All of a sudden I see this ball pop up above everybody and it falls down, one guy went for it and missed it, and I just jumped on it, hoping I could have it. I don’t

know how, but I somehow got it and I was hanging on for dear life.”

Ethan Rash covered those 20 yards on the next play, running in for a 14-0 lead.

The pair of blows took just 28 seconds.

Pessman later added a touchdown reception and a rushing TD as he scored three different ways.

“The kickoff return was big-time,” Pessman said. “We wanted to get off to a fast start, and that kickoff return was so important because it really boosted our confidence. From then on, when we scored [next], we just had so much confidence in ourselves and got the job done.”

Pessman’s rushing score and a Jacob Jones TD reception put the Steamers up 28-0 after one quarter; Fulton had outgained Morrison 120-3 at that point, and also had two potential touchdowns called back due to penalties.

“They got us from the kickoff,” Mustangs quarterback Nathan Helms said. “They ran it back, got the momentum, and they played really well, they played aggressive,

See FULTON WINS, Page 15

• FULTON WINS they wanted it. Not that we didn’t want it, but it was depleting after the couple of scores. It just kept rolling their way, and hats off to them, they played a real good game.”

Rash also added a rushing and a receiving score before halftime, and Fulton led 49-0. Jones added his second rushing TD in the fourth quarter.

Rash ended with 128 yards on 11 carries; quarterback Connor Barnett completed 7 of 8 passes for 109 yards.

“Our sophomore year we won it at home, and it was a great experience and super fun,” Pessman said of the trophy. “Our junior year we lost it, and that was rough. It sucked losing the Wooden Shoe, so this year we came in here really motivated from losing last year, and we got off to that fast start and went from there.”

Morrison managed only 37 total yards, and was stopped in the backfield nine times. Helms was picked off twice.

“All we can do is go into practice next week and just forget everything that happened,” Helms said.

Continued from Page 7

The trophy was created years after the Lincoln Highway rivals played their first game. According to a written history by former Mustangs coach and athletic director Gus Linke, “The purpose was to provide motivation to the intense football rivalry and lend a sportsmanship flavor to the strong Dutch heritage of both communities.”

The two schools played their first football game in 1901, but the series was played intermittently until 1946. The shoe, which came from Morrison High custodian Ralph Keiser, was first fought for in 1977.

Morrison leads the series 56-29-5; that record includes playoff games.

With both schools being in Class 1A for the foreseeable future, the chances of the Mustangs and Steamers playing again aren’t entirely gone.

“They shut us out last year, and our seniors and our juniors knew that, ever since we were in second grade, knew that this was going to be our golden year,” Rash said.

“Now that our season’s cut short, it sucks because we wanted to have a shot to take it all the way, but it feels really good to get revenge on Morrison.”
