EHS student recognized for poetry

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Soon-to-be senior at Erie High School Mysti Moody, 17, was informed last week that her poem “Heart to Heart” will be published in The American Library of Poetry.

This is the second publication of her poem this past year, and her third altogether with “Sun and Moon” in print through Appelley Publishing.

Mysti said she started writing poetry while in elementary school and she’s always liked to read and write. She started taking her craft more seriously in high school after the encouragement of Andrea McConnell, RTI, who helps Mysti with encouragement, edits, and finding contests for poem submissions.

Mysti says her writing is an “in the moment thing” where she freestyles what

she’s feeling, then goes back for editing in a day or two. She calls poetry a form of therapy since she can express herself through words. “Poetry is a short and easy way to get emotions out there, to share with others,” she says of the artform. “It’s short, simple, Mysti Moody and to the point.”

She hopes to continue writing poems as a side gig, but she has plenty to keep her busy now. She’s on the newspaper and trap shooting teams at the high school, she likes to hang out with friends, and she also enjoys collecting stones and crystals. Her grandfather Bill Weeber affectionately calls her a “social butterfly.”

Library debuts wifi hotspots

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Erie Public Library has started offering a limited number of wi-fi hotspots for patrons to check out for up to three weeks.

Library Director Laurel Reiss said five wifi devices that offer unlimited data will be made available soon. She hopes it fills a need in the community, especially for those in rural areas. The Erie Library has a “fairly large district” encompassing four full townships, she added, with many households having limited access to a reliable internet connection.

Patrons can borrow the devices for up to three weeks and then wait for two weeks until checking one out again. Each unit comes with a password to log into the U.S. Cellular network. Reiss said that after much research, she went with the company that assured her the signals will work in the area, especially rurally.

If the units are popular, the library may get more. Reiss purchased the hotspots through a company special, with the library paying $20 per unit per month. If the units are lost or damaged, there is a $105 fee to replace them, and if they are not returned on time, the signal can be turned off.

BRIEFS Storytelling through song Wes Wells of Port Byron returned to River Valley District Library on Friday, July 23 for an evening of storytelling through songs.

Wells, a former Port Byron trustee and current coordinator of Baby Blues Fest, incorporates historical and local events into his music and offers a toe-tappingly unique musical repertoire. It was Wes Wells also his birthday, so he brought in ice cream to share with the listeners.

Wells is currently planning for Baby Blues Fest, which will be in downtown Port Byron on Monday, Sept. 6.

Sarah Ford/For Shaw Media

Laurel Reiss, director of the Erie Public Library, displays a hotspot device that patrons can check out for three weeks from the library.

“We’re just trying to get people what they need and see if it’s a service they want,” said Reiss. For more information, contact the library at 309-659-2707.

Students receive Legion Award American Legion Award winners for the eighth grade class at Riverdale Middle School are: Adam Benoit, Brie DeBlaey, Sophia Mattan, and Kolton Kruse.

These students excelled in the six qualities that define character: courage, honor, leadership, patriotism, scholarship, and service.

Mysti’s advice to the young or old who want to write a poem is to “write down what you’re feeling, don’t be afraid of emotion. And don’t be scared to submit a poem, always take the chance.” She says getting the recognition for her poems has been inspiring.

“I am so very proud of Mysti’s accomplishments. She has been getting recognition for her well-deserved writing and creativity in her poetry,” said Mrs. McConnell.

“Mysti is able to express herself and thoughts on paper- words are a powerful tool. I always enjoy reading and entering her poems into these contests around the country. She is always so grateful, and truly honored, when we hear back that she has been chosen to be published. Mysti wears many hats, has a genuine soul, and truly deserves this honor of being a published author!”

Radio station donation a big hit

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

A dedicated listener of WQUD Vintage Radio 107.7 in Erie surprised staff members recently with the donation of a hand-carved display to be added to the station’s musically themed décor.

Mike Pulford of Davenport, a daily listener of the radio station, said he was inspired to make a token of his appreciation for the good music and entertaining DJs. He said the radio station “plays everything” and the music keeps him company while working in his shop or other jobs at a recycling company and night shift supervisor. He says he got hooked on WQUD after listening to the Uncle Tim Show.

Mike carved a guitar and satellite (a homage to the Uncle Tim Show) into a heavy chunk of walnut wood. He said the project took him about three and a half weeks, and it was his third major project since taking up woodcarving as a hobby about two years ago. He said he learns as he goes and he’s able to envision what he wants to carve when looking at a piece of wood.

The Morrison Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a pop-up farmers market in in conjunction with National Farmers Market Week. The event will be held at the Whiteside County Fairgrounds on Thursday, Aug. 5 from 3-7 p.m.

Farmers markets stimulate local economies and increase access to fresh, healthy foods and unique local designs.

These benefits are not possible without family farmers and hard-working small businesses. To succeed, they count on their neighbors to shop regularly.

Space registration is just $20 and will be used to help with the cost of new Main Street banners. Contact the Morrison Chamber of Commerce at 815-7723757 or email morrisonchamber@morrisonil.org to reserve a spot. And be sure to stop on by for a local and unique shopping experience with neighbors and friends.

Vintage Radio 107.7 DJs Aaron Dail, left, and Tim Possley, right, are pictured with Mike Pulford of Davenport, who donated a woodcarved sign to the station last week.

Tim Possley of the “Uncle Tim Show” said he’s taken many song requests from Pulford, but the gift to the station was quite a surprise. He was excited to see the satellite in the carving, since he is fascinated with all things concerning the “Final Frontier.” A self-proclaimed space nut, Tim loves all things NASA, planets, stars, space travel, astronauts, explo-

High School in 1952, where he participated in a number of athletics and earned a BS degree from Western Illinois in 1977. He married his high school sweet heart, Sally Lee Petersen, in 1954. They celebrated 67 years of marriage. They had three children, Frankie Marie Beswick Hood of Morrison, Colorado, James Harlan Beswick Jr. of Conroe, Texas, and Jamie Lee Norman of Flower Mound, Texas.

Jim was drafted in the U.S. Navy and served from 1955 to 1957 as a battery specialist on the USS Hancock, that toured the Korean and Japanese waters shortly after the Korean War. Upon release from the military, he and his wife relocated to Boulder, Colorado, where he attended the University of Colorado. Jim and his wife Sally decided to make Colorado their home, having all three of their children in the Denver/Boulder area.

The family farm needed his assistance requiring Jim to move his family to Morrison in 1966, where he spent the next twelve years until it became necessary that he relocate his family out of the area. Moving back to Colorado, Jim worked for the USDA Soil Conservation Service in Salida, Colorado, as a field engineer, working with local ranchers.

He transferred to Denver in 1988 and worked as hydrologist for the Colorado Snow Survey District, maintaining snow survey sites in 5 western states. He retired in 2000.

Jim’s passion was working on his Alpine “diesel pusher” motor home and traveling extensively for the next 19 years with his wife throughout the country, visiting many NHRA tracks and RV spots in Arizona and Texas.

His highlight was attending the Indy 500 and meeting Roger Penske in his garage at the track. He was known for his “can do” attitude

and dancing skills as one of the last good dancers of his generation.

Seldom indoors, Jim maintained an active lifestyle moving from Colorado to Arizona and then ultimately to Flower Mound, Texas.

Jim was a member of the Elks Club, Veteran of Foreign Wars and the Alpine Motor Home Association.

Survivors include his wife, Sally Lee; three children, Frankie Hood, Jim Beswick Jr, and Jamie Norman; and his three grandchildren, Alexandra (Norman) Bumpass, Addison Lee Norman and Austin James Norman.

Memorial donations may be made to the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation. His ashes will be laid to rest at Grove Hill Cemetery in Morrison.

Jim was the family rock and his magnetic smile will be missed by many.

Ken first farmed in the Morrison area and also worked as a carpenter. He then farmed in the Erie area from 1963 to 2017.

He was a member of 4-H and FFA while growing up and later became a 4-H leader, serving for 25 years. Ken loved running chains for his boys’ high school football games and ardently cheered at his daughters’ basketball and volleyball games. He was a member of the Morrison and Erie United Methodist Churches, the Whiteside County Livestock Feeders Association, Whiteside County Pork Producers, and served on the Board of Directors of Garden Plain Mutual Insurance and Black Hawk Mutual Insurance.

In 1971, Ken was named “Outstanding Young Farmer” for Whiteside County and runner-up for the state of Illinois “Outstanding Young Farmer” honor.

Three years later he was named the county’s Conservation Farmer of the Year.

Ken was a skilled designer, carpenter, and woodworker. He enjoyed genealogy and traveling the United States and abroad; two of his favorite places to visit were Glacier National Park and France. He and Gayle also hosted and later visited two foreign exchange students. Both Ken and Gayle spent many happy days at their cabin on the Mississippi River and enjoyed their time wintering at Blue Parrot Resort in Lady Lake, FL, where he played shuffleboard, horseshoes, and drank coffee and ate donuts with many friends. He also enjoyed spending time in Morrison and Florida visiting with his dad and stepmother Betty (Dykema) Beswick and stepsiblings, Mary, Judy, Bill, and Doug. After moving from the farm, Ken and Gayle’s time at Saddlebrook in Grayslake, IL was spent meeting neighbors, riding their trikes around the community, playing cards, and watching wildlife on the lake from their back porch. His recent time at Cedar Lake Assisted Living was filled with new friends and prowess at Jeopardy! But he remained grateful for his lifelong connection

with his high school classmates.

A year to the day after opening their new veterinary facility in Port Byron, Drs. Terry and Sarah Foust were finally able to welcome the public indoors on Saturday, July 10 during an open house. Up until recently, River View Veterinary Services was only accepting drop-off appointments due to the pandemic, so the tours were the public’s first glimpse into the newly constructed building along IL Route 84 at 602 N. High St. With giveaways, food and drinks, face-painting, and staff-led tours of the facility, the Fousts and their team of 12 assistants could finally show the inner workings of the state-of-the art veterinary clinic that was built at the site of the former Port Byron Academy last year. The full-service clinic offers surgery, medical, wellness, and dental care for small and large animals.

Dr. Sarah is from Chadwick, while Dr. Terry is from Dixon, so Port Byron was an ideal place to be close to family, both with a home and a business. The husband-and-wife team both obtained their veterinary degrees from the University of Illinois College of Veteri-

nary Medicine.

During the open house, clients could explore the expansive building with a rustic feel, pet care inventory selection, and various rooms where teams provide care for cats, dogs, and other critters. The facility is equipped with digital x-rays, in-house bloodwork, and ultrasound capabilities. The Fousts also provide farm call service to the surrounding area.

Tech assistants Kyan Stuart, a Riverdale senior, and Nathalie Zabramba, a recent Riverdale graduate, were demonstrating the new dental area used for both routine cleanings and dental surgeries. They were excited about the facility’s growth and expansion of services to local clientele and said their employment at the vet clinic has further inspired their interest in biology and agrisciences.

The Fousts also wrapped up their second Vet Camp of the summer last week, which they offer to community youth every year. Kids can get handson learning in the various aspects of veterinary care, from suturing to surgery to parasites to animal anatomy, plus the importance of spaying and neutering pets.

The veterinary clinic first opened

Vet Assistant Madeline Horton demonstrates surgical care with “Fluffy” who ate too much candy during the open house on Saturday, July 10. on Port Byron’s Main Street in 2013.

The Fousts purchased the new site from the Village of Port Byron in January 2020 and spent months on construction of the building. The $2.7 million dollar project was completed by TWC, Inc., of Wilmar, MN. The Fousts will be rebated up to $405,000 for their investment, paid in yearly increments until 2028 from the Port Byron Tax-Increment Finance (TIF) funds.

Drs. Sarah and Terry say they love the Port Byron community, and look forward to providing veterinary care to clients for many years to come. The clinic is open 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. – noon on Saturdays.

YOUR HEALTH

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. We have known from the beginning that the original COVID-19 virus would mutate. This is what nature does in order to keep itself going. What was unknown was, would the mutants pose more problems or less? Would people who had the original infection with the virus be protected? What would our vaccines do for the virus?

To be clear, those answers are not completely known, but let’s explore what we do know.

The bad news is the Delta virus is more contagious than several of the vari-

ants. It’s more likely to land people in the hospital and kill as well.

The Delta virus was first uncovered in other countries and is becoming more common in the midwest and southwest.

In England, where the country had been opening up, the doubling rate is only 11 days. The Delta variant will continue to spread in the U.S. for some time.

The good news is there appears to be some protection for those who encountered the original virus. More notably, those who have had the vaccine appear to have additional protection. Clearly, those who have had the full vaccination have better protection than those with

partial vaccination. The protection appears to be over 90% for those fully vaccinated. This appears to be a situation in which vaccination exceeds that of the natural infection as far as protection from future virus.

We must keep in mind that the virus must seek a vulnerable host. Its current highest attack rate is countries with the lowest vaccination rates. In our country, the largest single population is going to be the youngest children for whom the vaccine has not been approved. The safety of our young children is one more factor of consideration as to whether to vaccinate.

As to concern for vaccination during or before pregnancy, there are two major considerations. First, there is no evidence that the vaccine will change fertility rates. Second, there is no evidence that the DNA or other genetics of the baby may be altered. There is a current registry for those who have had the vaccine during pregnancy. To date, there are no identified problems in this situation.

A recent study showed that the virus greatly improved the immunity for those who already have had the infection, even if they still had antibodies. In addition, up to 95% of recent infections have involved unvaccinated people.

climate benefits, including setting a minimum rental rate and identifying two national priority zones.

The CRP Grassland signup is competitive, and USDA’s Farm Service Agency will provide for annual rental payments for land devoted to conservation purposes.

CRP Grasslands helps Illinois landowners and operators protect grassland, including

rangeland and pastureland and certain other lands, while maintaining the areas as working grazing lands. FSA has updated the Grasslands signup to establish a minimum rental rate of $15 per acre, which will benefit 1,300 counties.

To enroll in the CRP Grasslands signup, producers and landowners should contact the USDA by the Aug. 20 deadline. Service

center staff continue to work with agricultural producers via phone, email and other digital tools. Because of the pandemic, some USDA service centers are open to limited visitors. Contact your service center to set up an in-person or phone appointment.

Information related to USDA’s response and relief for producers can be found at farmers.gov/coronavirus.

IN BRIEF USDA announces deadline for CRP Grasslands signup is Aug. 20 Agricultural producers and landowners in Illinois can apply for the Conservation Reserve Program Grasslands signup until Aug. 20. This year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture updated signup options to provide greater incentives for producers and increased the program’s conservation and

Erie Middle School students take on ancestor project As one of the final projects of the school year, seventh graders at Erie Middle School were challenged to pick an ancestor or someone they could research and learn more about in order to write a story about that person’s life. Students conducted interviews with family members, and some students were able to gather additional resources and pictures to help tell their story.

The project was a collaborative effort between the students’ history classes with Mrs. Gretchen Kruthoff and Mr. Matt Armstrong, English class with Mrs. Samantha Wolf, and their families. It was inspired by the original project that longtime English teacher Mrs. Wiersema made a tradition in her eighth grade class, and the teachers were excited to bring back the project.

Students enjoyed getting to know more about their families, and many were surprised to learn how interesting their families were.

“Jeffrey McDearmon”

by Jonathan Norman

ther had a wonderful childhood.

My grandfather was an amazing person because of his adulthood. Jeff graduated high school in 1975 and then attended two years at Southern Illinois University. Jeff was running out of time to figure out a job. A funeral director approached Jeff and told him he would pay for his schooling if he came back and worked for him. Jeff then studied mortuary science and funeral directing. On Sept.

30, 1978, Jeffrey married Karen Randecker at the age of 21. Jeff did not like his job as a funeral director and quit after a year and went to work at 3M. He worked as a chemical processor, inventory clerk and planner/scheduler. Jeffrey had three kids, Jason, Julie, and Kendal, and loved them so much. Jeff liked to do plays. He had done some in high school and enjoyed those. He acted in plays, and one time Julie joined him on stage! Overall, Jeff had a very good adulthood.

Another reason my grandfather is

an amazing person is because of his retirement. Jeff retired in 2017 but still speaks of his job every now and then.

Now that Jeff is retired, he likes to garden, bake, ride his bike, travel and do things with his grandchildren. Jeffrey has 11 grandchildren and makes sure to be with them all that he can.

Jeff likes to see his grandchildren compete in games and goes to as many as possible. Jeffrey likes to have the whole family over for fun and games.

Jeff McDearmon stills acts in plays from time to time, and over the years has done about 15 to 20! Jeff has a good-sized garden and grows things to bake and eat. All of his grandchildren live within two hours of him so he always makes it to birthday parties and Christmas.

In conclusion, my grandfather Jeffrey McDearmon had a wonderful life and is an amazing person and grandfather because of his childhood, adult life and retirement. Jeff is the best grandfather a kid could ever ask for.

Members of The Kramers are Ben Wolfe (from left), Maria Kramer Wolfe, D. Scott Kramer and Rachel West Kramer.

Spring Valley Church welcomes The Kramers Spring Valley Reformed Church, 10960 Spring Valley Road, Fulton, welcomes The Kramers to the outdoor stage at 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 1.

Join us in the valley for an evening of worship and fellowship. Rootbeer floats will be served. The concert will be moved indoors in case of inclement weather. A freewill offering will be taken.

At an event with The Kramers, audiences can expect a variety of

musical styles featuring beautiful family harmonies and the skilled accompanying instrumentation of Scott, Ben and Maria. Audiences are greatly moved, often times to tears, by the sweet, yet powerful, gospel message within each of the musical selections. Top all this off with a time of hearing personal testimony, along with an opportunity to accept Christ as your Savior, and many walk away greatly impacted by the gospel.

CHURCH BRIEFS First Reformed Church worship at 9 a.m. Aug. 1

Join us for worship at 9 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 1, at First Reformed Church, 510 15th Ave. in Fulton. Pastor Chuck Huckaby will bring the message, and the sacrament of Holy Communion will be celebrated. Coffee and refreshments are served in the library after the service.

Senior Meals begin at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays at the church.

Creative Crew meets Wednesday, July 28.

Feed the Children is every Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the church parking lot.

Rainforest Book Club meets Tuesdays at 10 a.m. and Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.

Services are live-streamed on Facebook. Go to www.facebook.com/groups/ firstfulton to join the group and watch the services. The previous Sunday’s service is broadcast on WCCI 100.3-FM at 6 p.m. Sunday night.

For information, go to the church’s website at www.firstrcafulton.org.

Worship at 9 a.m. Aug. 1 at Emmanuel Reformed Church

Plan to join us on Sunday, Aug. 1, and feel free to come a little early and grab a cup of coffee in the Welcome Center before going into the sanctuary for the 9 a.m. worship service.

All are welcome and are reminded that Emmanuel Church is a “come as you are” family and dress clothes certainly are not necessary.

Pastor Luke Schouten returns to the pulpit after leading a college-aged mission trip to New York and continues his message series, “Armor of God” with “Breastplate of Righteousness” drawn from Ephesians 6:14b. First Sunday will lead the worship set, and Rich Criss will serve as organist for the service. Coffee and fellowship follow worship in the Christ Center. All are welcome and invite your friends!

Information is available on the church’s website, www.emmanuelreformedchurch.org, or by calling the church office at 815-772-3890.
