ALBANY

Two trustees resign from Village of Albany board

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media The Village of Albany has two new trustees after the recent resignations of Mark Uhde and David Smither.

The board accepted the resignation of Uhde at the Aug. 3 meeting, with Mark Totty appointed to replace him.

At the continuation meeting on Aug. 19, the board accepted the resignation of Smither, with Wiley Blasdell approved by the board to serve the remainder of the term.

The reasons for the resignations were not disclosed, though Uhde and Smither submitted letters to the board that were accepted.

In his report, Chief of Police Wyatt Heyvaert updated the board about Whiteside County’s ongoing discussions to consolidate dispatching fees, after he attended a Public Safety meeting on July 16.

Currently the village pays the

county $360 per year, but that could change to $35,000 a year based on call volume.

All 911 calls in the village are logged, even non-emergencies, and the county wants to charge $25.48 per call.

The village had 1,381 calls last year, Heyvaert said.

He added that Sterling/Rock Falls currently pays $500,000 per year, Fulton $200,000, Morrison $1,200, and Erie $900.

The county is looking into the changing the fee structure after reviewing the current agreements.

The consolidated dispatching system was launched in 2017.

Heyvaert said the focus is on a Public Safety Tax, with the County Board wanting to put it on the November ballot. He cited the success of the tax passed in Henry County in 2014 that helped pay for increased public safety measures, at a rate of ½ of 1%.

AFTER THE STORM

Heritage Canyon recovers from wind damage

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

It’s been over two weeks since a powerful derecho hit the area, with pockets of damage visible throughout harder hit communities.

Uprooted trees and broken limbs are still a common sight in Fulton, though recovery is underway. Just last week, riverfront neighborhoods were a tangled mess of downed power lines and trees, especially near Heritage Canyon.

“It looks good pretty right now, compared to what it was,” said caretaker Brian Tomman, who was driving home from work and into the neighborhood during the height of the storm. He watched as trees toppled throughout the pioneer village, adding a new struggle to the cityowned park already affected by the pandemic.

According to a map released by the National Weather Service, a large swath of the region endured winds of up to 80 mph. However, Clinton and Fulton were in a smaller bullseye of higher wind speeds, even up to 100 mph or more.

Tomman and a group of neighbors went out with chainsaws the night of the storm to help remove trees blocking driveways and roads. The neighborhood was closed for nearly a week since they didn’t want traffic jams on the narrow street during the extensive cleanup process. They were also hoping to get the power back on quicker if most of the work was done.

Tomman said the mayor, city

crews, and linemen told him 4th St. was one of the hardest hit parts of Fulton that day. Crews got to the electric lines on Saturday, Aug. 15 with power finally restored after nearly a week in the dark.

Still, the canyon remains closed until further notice due to ongoing cleanup, which has been a slow and steady process. Trees are still hanging on other trees that could fall over, and debris still covers the paths. A large tree just missed falling on the chapel, which was thankfully spared of any damage.

When looking at the buildings, Tomman is grateful since it could’ve been a lot worse. With piles of debris and uprooted trees scattered throughout the canyon, the minimal damage to the buildings will see the canyon recover quicker. There are split rails to repair and some trees yet to come down, but overall, the buildings are in good shape.

The Town Hall had a tree dropped on it causing minor damage and the blacksmith shop also fell victim to a tree, with damage estimates to be determined. The covered bridge had minimal damage, with the top part of a tree dropping onto the overhang.

The caretaker’s home sustained some damage, with the wind blowing out the east side of a screened-in porch, which was found about 30 feet away. The chimney cap also blew away. The parking lot across the road has been inaccessible due to an uprooted massive cottonwood tree blocking the drive.

Despite the damage, Tomman says they were “pretty fortunate” overall, especially with the community ready to step in and help.

“We’re thankful for the volunteers that came to help that weekend.

They worked hard and did a lot and changed how this was looking,” Tomman said He expects another volunteer cleanup to be scheduled within a couple weeks, with details to be announced once figured out.

The Jammin’ in the Canyon event that was scheduled for Aug. 20 was canceled due to the damage, in addition to having no place to park. The next Jammin’ event is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 17.

Tomman said the Fall Festival has

been canceled due to state mandates limiting gatherings of 50 people or more. The event typically draws in 1,200 people during the weekend. The Christmas Walk is still to be determined, depending on state mandates.

Looking at the bright side, Tomman says he now has a better view of the river. “The park will bounce back from this,” he said. He encourages the community to come out and support the Heritage Canyon in the future.

To stay up to date, sign up to volunteer, or make a donation, visit the Wierenga’s Heritage Canyon Facebook page, send a private message, or look for events posted online.

Debris and uprooted trees were scattered throughout the canyon.

Fortunately, the buildings were left in good shape.

MORRISON

BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@saukvalley.com 815-632-2531 The family of a motorcyclist killed when he collided with a Whiteside County sheriff’s squad car that was making an illegal left turn has won a $3.6 million settlement from Whiteside County and an official apology from the department.

William G. Damhoff, 58, of Morrison, died July 25, 2016, when his motorcycle struck Deputy Jeffrey Wunderlich’s squad car as the deputy was turning off U.S. Route 30 on to Emerson Road shortly before 10:30 p.m., using the turn lane for traffic going in the other direction and despite a do not enter sign.

He was not using his emergency lights or siren.

Wunderlich, 37, of Fenton, who was off-duty, but responding to a call for officers to help search for a man missing in a field in Sterling, was charged with making an improper left turn, turning the wrong way on a one-way, and

improper lane usage, all minor traffic charges.

Rock Island-based 14th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Ted Kutsunis ruled on May 23, 2018, and an appellate court agreed, that under state law, because Wunderlich was responding to an emergency, he was immune from criminal prosecution.

Damhoff’s wife, Lynette, also filed a wrongful death suit in Whiteside County Court; the out-of-court settlement was authorized and the case dismissed on Aug. 4.

In a statement released by her attorney, Trent Bush of Ward, Murray, Pace & Johnson in Sterling, Damhoff expressed her grief and frustration.

“When Deputy Wunderlich decided to turn left in front to Bill, hitting him, Bill suffered multiple bone fractures. The ribs that were broken punctured Bill’s lungs and caused his lungs to fill up with blood. Bill lay on the road and suf-

focated to death.

“No one from the Sheriff’s Department ever contacted me that night, or in the four years since. The cruelty of this still makes me very angry. I wouldn’t wish this horror on anyone. Bill did not deserve this, and neither did I.” As part of the settlement requirements, Sheriff John Booker, who was not sheriff at the time of the crash, issued a written, signed apology to Damhoff in which he admits Wunderlich was at fault.

It reads in part: “Deputy Wunderlich … should have been utilizing his emergency lights at the time of the accident.

At the time, due to light traffic on a rural road, he thought it was safer to proceed but he now realizes, with the benefit of hindsight, that it was a wrong decision and that his emergency lights should have been used.

“I have issued a statement to all deputies in my office to empha-

size that they should always utilize their emergency lights (and/or siren where appropriate) … except in such circumstances (such as a surreptitious approach to a suspected crime scene) where the use of emergency lights and/or a siren is not in the interests of safe law enforcement.”

He also states that “Deputy Wunderlich also should have exercised more care in executing his left hand turn at the subject intersection. Although Deputy Wunderlich thought that Bill’s motorcycle was a safe distance away when he made his left turn, he should have taken more time to assess the situation in order to adequately assess the distance of Bill’s approaching motorcycle.”

According to the State Police crash reconstruction report, Wunderlich’s decision to turn the wrong way into the one-way lane was “the contributing factor” in Damhoff’s death.

THOMSON

First Majestic Pines Car & Bike Show was a hit

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Tons of sunshine and hot rod temperatures made for a perfect Majestic Pines Car & Bike Show in Thomson on Aug. 23.

A total of 134 cars and bikes entered the inaugural show with $15 entry fees put into a 50/50 drawing, with half the cash prize donated to Northwest Medical in Chicago for cancer research through Hot Rods for a Cure.

The event drew a colorful mix of car and bikes from across the region, both old and new.

Despite the heat, organizers were pleased with the turnout. Music and food and pockets of shade provided relief from the mid-day sun.

Spectators cast their votes for the best cars, made difficult by the number of entries, quality and variety.

Steve Tegeler of Clinton, Iowa and his Scooby Doo inspired Mystery Machine was hard to miss. The 2004 movie provided inspiration for his “clone” project, a 1996 Chevy van he spruced up and has been bringing to local car shows for the past five years.

Tegeler said he did the inside work and interior panels, and a crew at J&S Autobody in Savanna provided the painting, graphics, and pinstriping. The license plate is even the same as in the movie.

“It’s a hobby, but I let the kids play with it,” he said smiling, adding that it’s his personal collection of Scooby Doo memorabilia displayed in the car.

Kevin Blackburn of Polo drove out in his 1933 Nash, also known as the Road Rat. With only 1,000 models made, the vehicle is a rarity. He said he usually does pretty well with it at car shows.

Jim Leverington of Freeport showcased a 1966 Studebaker Hawk “Gran Turismo,” a project car he and his late father worked on after rescuing it from 20 years in a dirt floor barn in South Bend, Indiana many years ago.

After they completed the project, the car sat in his dad’s garage until Jim encouraged him to show it at car shows. After a few shows, the car was given to him.

“It’s a low mileage car (30K), it goes really fast, and it’s a lot of fun to drive,” Leverington said.

A former track champion at the Maquoketa Speedway, he now likes to spend his time showing instead of racing.

Local celebrities Tom Lackiewicz and Punky the parrot, a 27-year-old bird native to Brazil, were also spotted roaming the grounds. The pair

attend as many car shows as possible, with Punky riding comfortably atop Tom’s hat.

“He’s been around a long time.

He likes these kinds of things,” he chuckled.

ANGUS JUNIORS

11

In a typical year, Angus juniors from across the nation would have attended the annual Leaders Engaged in Angus Development (LEAD) conference this summer.

But due to COVID-19 restrictions, the National Junior Angus Board (NJAB) and the Events and Education department at the American Angus Association® had to adapt this well-attended event from its initial venue in Orlando, Florida.

Camp Angus, hosted Aug. 4-6 in Nebraska City, Nebraska, served as an alternative to the usually highly anticipated LEAD conference.

Madeline Bauer, events coordinator for the association said the objective of Camp Angus is to provide juniors with opportunities to meet fellow Angus youth, engage with industry leaders and take part in activities, promoting growth and personal development. She spoke about unlocking the potential each junior has within them to succeed.

“Camp Angus was a success as we could see the passion and fire that are in these juniors’ eyes,” said Bauer. “The goal was to ignite that fire, and we hope the juniors keep the flame going as they navigate through their junior years.”

YOUR HEALTH

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D Neurofibromatosis is a term that includes several related types of diseases. Often there is a genetic component which may affect about one in 3,0004,000 individuals.

However, some estimate that up to half of new cases are not inherited but come from a genetic mutation.

The condition is sometimes not detected until later in life, particularly if there are not any prominent manifestations.

The most common type of neurofibromatosis is now known as NF1. To diagnose, the doctor will typically look for six or more light brown spots on the skin known as cafe’-au-lait.

Perhaps the best way to interpret this French phrase is to a type of coffee stain appearance. These may be just half a centimeter on the small range and several centimeters in their larger presentation.

Another skin manifestation may be freckling in unusual areas such as the armpit or groin. Eye involvement of the iris or the optic nerve is another feature consistent with NF1.

Abnormal development of the spine or temple of the skull or the tibia may be part of the presentation.

One’s risks are increased if there is a parent or sibling or child with NF1.

Headaches and epilepsy or seizures are a little more common in NF1 than in the general population.

Neurofibromas are bumps below the skin that may increase with age and are often the characteristics associated with the condition.

There are actually tumors involving several nerves. Rarely there are problems with circulation or heart defects.

On occasion there are learning disabilities and challenges with visual spatial skills and other areas that may affect reading, spelling and math.

Sometimes the tumors associated with these conditions may become cancerous and require aggressive treatment. Many people with the condition will lead normal lives.

Treatment may be challenging because scientists don’t know how to prevent the neurofibromas from growing.

Surgery may be performed on larger tumors or tumors that cause symptoms or the small number that become cancerous, or those that cause cosmetic challenges.

Sometimes radiation or chemotherapy is employed. Other treatments are

aimed at controlling or relieving symptoms such as headaches or the occasional seizures.

NF2 is a more rare condition that occurs in 1 of 25,000 individuals.

About half the time it is inherited with the other half caused by genetic mutation. The main characteristic of this type is the presence of a slow growing tumor on the 8th cranial nerve of the brain.

In one form hearing may be affected and in the other, balance. Therefore these can lead to serious disabilities.

Other nerve tumors known as a schwannomas may occur in other nerves in the body including spinal nerves or nerves in the extremities.

Sometimes these tumors are seen at bumps below the skin. These individuals though usually do not have the care’au-lait spots referenced above. Because these tumors may cause more damage, a surgical intervention may be offered sooner than other situations.

A third type that is somewhat related involves a similar type of tumor in nerves throughout the body but spares the 8th nerve. Both of these types may be difficult to pick up until advanced symptoms are present.

Registration underway for Legion golf outing DEER GROVE – Sterling American Legion Post 286’s annual golf outing will be Sept. 12 at Deer Valley Golf Course, 3298 Hoover Road.

WHITESIDE COUNTY BOARD

Voters to decide on sales tax increase for 911 operations

BY ERIC INGLES Shaw Media MORRISON – Whiteside County voters will be asked to OK a proposed sales tax to help fund 911 operations on Nov. 3, the board decided at its monthly meeting last week.

The 0.5% sales tax increase would help pay salaries of 911 dispatchers, now paid by the cities of Sterling and Rock Falls, the ambulance district on the eastern side of the county and police departments on the western side. It would amount to an additional $5 for every $1,000 of retail goods sold in the county.

Departments in western White-

side paid anywhere from $180 in Lyndon to $1,200 in Morrison last year.

Towns and villages are billed per radio unit, portable units at $10 each and mobile units at $5 each.

State taxes on landline phones and cellphones go to pay for equipment and software for 911 services.

The county employs 22 dispatchers, 14 in Sterling and eight in Morrison.

“I think there’s a hope that eventually we could accumulate enough money in the fund that we could build a dedicated dispatch center, which would make like a whole lot easier for the sheriff,” board Chair-

man James Duffy said.

The county board also approved a mask ordinance empowering the sheriff to remove anyone from a county building or property, or a county meeting, for not wearing a mask, and an ordinance to encourage people to wear a mask and practice social distancing during the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The county is buying 60 sneeze guards to use at polling places in November – one for each precinct, offices committee Chairman James Arduini said. The $5,757 cost will be reimbursed through the federal CARES Act. The board also approved a motion

from the Landfill Committee to increase the fees for pickup loads from $15 to $20, and oversized loads from $30 to $40.

Those fees have not changed since 1996; the new ones take effect Jan. 1.

The board also voted to approve a $200,000 road resurfacing project in the Woodland Hills subdivision in Sterling Township, and to increase the sanitary sewer fee for the Walmart Distribution Center.

The fees are split between the city of Sterling and the county, and Sterling recently raised its fee, so the county is raising its fee to continue to receive the same amount.
