Fulton will give a warm “Welkom” to visitors during the 46th annual Dutch Days Festival on May 6 and 7, with a schedule of events announced last week. The theme this year is “Operation Food Drop in the Netherlands,” which marks the 77th anniversary of the May 1945 mission that saved thousands of Dutch people from starvation.

To learn more about the theme, the Fulton Dutch Days Committee recommends two resource books that tell the story of the great humanitarian military mission.

During May 1945, the Allied Forces, under the leadership of General D. D. Eisenhower, flew B-17s filled with tons of food and air-dropped it to thousands of starving Dutch people in the Netherlands. The books are “Operation Chowhound” by Stephen Dando-Collins (non-fiction) and “Of Windmills and War” by Diane Moody (fiction).

Dutch Days activities will be ongoing throughout Fulton all weekend, including displays and discussions at the Masonic Lodge, arts, crafts, and food and concession stands in the downtown area, “de Immigrant” Windmill tours, windmill displays at the Windmill Cultural Center, Early American Crafters at the Heritage Canyon, and a tractor show.

Saturday’s schedule of events includes a children’s race at 8 a.m., Dutch Days

FULTON HIGH SCHOOL

FHS Steamer Suite is a collaborative success

By ELLA PENCA

FHS student writer The newest and most exciting addition to Fulton High School this year was the Central Bank Steamer Suite, a viewing area to rent for sporting events that overlooks the East Gym. In the 2020 fall and winter sports seasons, after COVID-19 protocols restricted the number of fans allowed into the gym, the previously nonfunctional area was used to permit more people into the games.

This sparked an idea in the FHS administration to turn the room into a permanent, rentable, viewing area. Thanks to a sponsorship with Fulton’s Central Bank, the Central Bank Steamer Suite quickly began to take form.

To make the Central Bank

Steamer Suite inviting and practical, large windows were installed over the summer to replace the original small ones.

The four floor-to-ceiling windows provide fans with a clear view of the entire gym. Once school was back in session, the FHS construction classes built high-top tables to sit in the windows, which the art classes later painted.

Not only is the Central Bank Steamer Suite a great experience for fans, but it also provides work experience for FHS students taking Business Class and Foods.

The students in Business Class work the ticket table, welcome guests, and manage all the reservations. Students taking Foods volunteer to cook and prepare all the meals for the guests.

The Central Bank Steamer Suite officially opened halfway through the Steamer’s volleyball season. In total, the space

The view of the gymnasium from the Steamer Suite at Fulton High School. was rented out twice and opened to specific organizations to promote the Suite all other times. An average of 20 g u e s ts o c c u p i ed t h e s u i te during each game. All money made from the Suite was reinvested into the students.

For the first year of its opening, the Central Bank Steamer Suite was quite successful.

Principal of Fulton High School, Robert Gosch, says he expects the Suite to be even more successful next fall as adjustments to the program are made.

For more information or to make a reservation for next year, check out the Steamer Suite link on riverbendschools. org.

The Odell Public Library Friends kicked off a campaign on Dec. 8, 2021, to raise money to replace and update the library’s flooring. This promotion set its sights on raising $80,000 to purchase carpet tiles and vinyl and move the enormous amount of books and shelving.

The Morrison community has risen to the occasion with its generosity. The total on the thermometer shows $90,500 as of March 24. It is obvious Morrison loves its library as monetary gifts came from the community and beyond in gifts of $1 to $11,000.

“We at Odell library are so thankful for the outpouring of support,” said Katie Rider, youth services coordinator.

Barb Peterson, treasurer for Odell Public Library Friends concurred.

“There is still work to be done on this project, but the Friends say, ‘thank you to all,’ ” Peterson said.

Whiteside jail suicide victim a Rock Falls man MORRISON – The Whiteside County jail inmate found unresponsive in his cell around 1:30 a.m. Friday, the victim of an apparent suicide by hanging, was a 22-year-old Rock Falls man, Coroner Joe McDonald confirmed.

Chevy Ray Allen-Wadelton was charged Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to criminal sexual assault involving force, aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a child 13 to 17, and criminal sexual abuse of a child

more than 5 years younger than he.

He was being held on $75,000 bond.

An autopsy is set for this afternoon. As is procedure, Illinois State Police are investigating.

Among others, Allen-Wadelton is survived by his mother, Julie Marschang of Rock Falls, sisters, Cherokee Wadelton of Tampico, and Mindy Hexom of Rock Island; and brothers, Zackery Wadelton of Dixon, William Stees of Tampico, Tyler Stees of Walnut, Dono-

van and Dakotah Stees, both of Sterling, and Skylar Stees of Lyndon.

Cremation rites will be accorded.

A gathering of family and friends will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Friday, at McDonald Funeral Home in Rock Falls. A memorial service will follow, then a celebration of life will be held at Bear’s Bar in Lyndon.

Part-time Tampico officer convicted of misdemeanor battery A part-time Tampico police officer will remain on unpaid suspension as he appeals his conviction Thursday on four counts of misdemeanor battery.

A bench trial for Lonnie P. Smith, 42, of Morrison, was held Feb. 17.

On Thursday, Rock Island County Associate Judge Derek L. Hancks, who handled the case because the Whiteside County judges would have had a conflict of interest, issued his ruling, finding Smith guilty of two counts of domestic battery and two counts of battery, all misdemeanors, and not guilty of harassment by telephone.

According to court records, Smith held a person down by the legs, causing pain and bruising, on Sept. 6, 2019.

Smith was sentenced to two years

POLICE REPORTS Arrests

On Friday, March 18, about 6:35 p.m., Morrison police arrested Michelle R. Willock, 42, of Cicero pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by Whiteside County charging Willock with failure to appear – driving while license suspended. Willock was transported to the Whiteside County Jail.

On Sunday, March 20, about 3 p.m., Morrison police arrested Shaquille L. Coleman, 28, of Morrison pursuant to an arrest Warrant issued by Henry County charging Coleman with failure to appear – speeding. Coleman was transported to the Whiteside County Jail.

On Thursday, March 24, about 3 p.m., Morrison police arrested Jamison E. Smith, 47, of Morrison pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by Whiteside County charging Smith with failure to appear – unlawful use/possession of a weapon – felon. Smith was transported to the Whiteside County Jail.

probation and 30 days in jail, to be served starting Dec. 5, or not at all if he successfully completes his court-ordered domestic violence program and does Lonnie P. Smith not violate his probation beforehand.

The court clerk was directed to file a notice of appeal. Smith was represented by Dixon attorney Paul Whitcombe, whom he hired, but now will be represented by the Appellate Public Defender’s Office.

Smith was a Morrison police officer when he was hired by the village on Feb. 21, 2021. Because of the

pending battery charges, his Firearm Owners Identification Card was suspended and the village had to seek a waiver from the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board to allow him to carry a gun, but only while on duty.

The board denied the waiver in September, and Smith has been on suspension since that time.

Now that he has been convicted of a violent offense, the board could move to decertify him, but an appeal of his conviction puts that process on hold.

In the meantime, he remains on unpaid suspension, and his personal guns, which he is not allowed to possess without a FOID card, have been placed under lock and key at the Tampico Police Department, Chief Mike Lewis said.

On Friday, March 18, about 8 p.m., Morrison police responded to 205 E. Winfield St., Morrison regarding the theft of a motor vehicle. As a result of the investigation, on Thursday, March 24, about 3:42 p.m., Morrison police arrested and charged Joseph M. Bramm, 58, of Morrison with theft (Class 3 felony). Bramm was transported to the Whiteside County Jail.

Morrison school board approves laptop purchases

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Morrison Board of Education approved tech upgrades and reviewed ongoing projects at their meeting on Monday, March 21.

The council approved the purchase of 250 Chromebooks and 250 licenses at a total cost of $50,250.

Each unit costs around $200, with the purchases as part of normal rotation. However, the board agreed to order them earlier to ensure they’ll arrive by the summer.

The board also learned that two representatives from the Learning Technology Center of Illinois will be performing a cybersecurity and network assessment of the district’s cyber infrastructure, with a report to come at the next meeting. They also renewed an agreement with Frontier Communications, with the company moving to ethernet and fiber-based lines instead of copper.

In finances and facilities updates, the district is “right where they need to be for revenues and expenditures for the year,” said Superintendent Scott Vance. Projects in the works include high school roofing repairs, junior high HVAC, and high school stadium bleacher repairs and track

surfacing. The board also heard that some lights in the high school parking lot need to be replaced.

In reports, students have been participating in March Madness brackets for books and reading, and close to $800 was raised from raffles and sales for high school March Madness events.

In action items, the board renewed the partnership with Sauk Valley Community College for dual credits, approved an amended Return to Learn plan, approved the 2022/2023 district calendar, approved a youth suicide prevention policy, renewed the district’s membership with IHSA, approved the non-resident tuition waiver, approved personnel as presented, and amended a board policy regarding changes or additions to agenda items. They agreed to continue development of an e-learning plan, with possible approval in April.

In final discussions, the board agreed to investigate the costs to upgrade the large baseball field at the Morrison Sports Complex after the city approached the district about a long-term lease and cost-sharing plan. Vance said it’s the “first step in that discussion” since the field needs a lot of work, especially with drainage issues.

She stopped the little girl, talked to her, and was able to have the little girl show her where she lived. The parent was on the phone with 911 when the little girl was returned.

GLIMPSES OF THE PAST - FULTON

1962: Fulton conducts campaign against improper parking 60 Years

March 28, 1962

John DeWeerdt, Fulton’s police magistrate, has levied fines against scores of his fellow townsmen during recent months as the city has been conducting a campaign against improper parking. The police magistrate himself was ticketed by Police Chief Howard Reedy for parking in the wrong way, so he assessed himself the usual fine, $5 and costs.

Arthur Van Til, who came here from Grand Haven, Michigan, in 1959 to become principal of the Community Christian School and teacher of the seventh and eighth grades, has tendered his resignation and accepted an appointment as principal of the Godwin Christian School in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. Van Til have been active in the church and community work here and have done much to develop the Community Christian School.

Vaccinations and other pandemic strategies for well-being

Ann’s Helping Hands to host afternoon Bingo

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. What would you do if you were fighting a war with the most powerful country in the world and at the same time faced a major infection outbreak that was devastating your forces? That was the dilemma that George Washington faced in 1777 with smallpox.

The colonists were suffering great casualties and losing people routinely to smallpox.

Washington got wind of the smallpox vaccine although others had been aware of this phenomenon for some time. Washington did not feel that he could lose any more troops as he already had lost a number to the smallpox virus. Quietly he had the colonial soldiers vaccinated against smallpox, the first mandated vaccination in this country. A Pulitzer Prize biography of Washington by Ron Chernow said this event was as important as any military measure Washington adopted during the war.

Skepticism against vaccines and mandatory vaccination has a long history in this country. In general, the outcome and science favors the man-

dates. Reasons behind resisting the vaccination include the failure of the U.S. government to provide an early, consistent and effective awareness and testing and tracking program.

For example, when COVID-19 broke, we were told to hunker down for two to three weeks and the big wave of the infection would pass. We do not wish to take away from the value of quarantine, which is well-established when it is done early and extensively with proper testing and tracking. Taiwan had great success in keeping its country largely open and functioning early on due to extensive testing and isolating only about 1% of the population.

Meanwhile, there continues to be shortages of testing supplies in this country, which promote a lack of awareness and responsibility for the many people who are interested in getting on with their lives. Most people are willing to be tested and respond accordingly if testing is readily available. This process could have been solved early on by a more lenient FDA policy on testing even as they botched their own early testing. The employ-

ment of dogs trained to detect the COVID-19 virus remains a very viable but untried potential.

Then too was the rather wishywashy policy about masking early on by the government. People confused the fact that a mask cannot stop all virus particles with the notion that it could indeed greatly reduce the transmission of disease. There is a reason that you will not find a hospital in this country that does not mandate the wearing of masks during surgery and other times of critical spread of disease. Other countries with strong mask policies have shown great success.

We tend to respond to hysteria, driven by the media, of what could happen in extreme situations as opposed to measuring the odds about what was likely to happen. When there were announcements about how long the virus could last on surfaces and even outdoors, people went to ridiculous extremes to avoid low risk situations. In this situation, life is a calculus of probabilities in which the best chances of surviving are in determining the accurate data of where and when to take the risk.

Save the date for a fun-filled afternoon of Bingo at Ann’s Helping Hands on Sunday, April 10. Doors open at 2 p.m. and Bingo starts at 3 p.m. All ages are welcome to play, with a cost of $1 a game or a $20 packet. There will be $5 meals available and bake sale items for purchase.

To RSVP for a full table of eight to 10 players, contact Megan at katsm103@yahoo.com.

Ann’s is at 20828 Friedens Road, Port Byron.

Erie United Methodist to host escape room

Get your friends and family together for a fun escape room adventure at Erie United Methodist Church.

What is an escape room? A team of players discovers clues, solves puzzles and accomplishes tasks in order to “escape” the room they are in and receive a prize.

This year’s escape room features Lenten and Easter activities and is fun for all ages.

Adult guidance is needed as a few puzzles may be a bit challenging for younger children on their own.

The Lent Escape Room will be upstairs in the church Sunday school classroom by the pastor’s office on Saturday, April 9, and Sunday, April 10.

Please sign up for a time slot by contacting Pastor Tiffany at 815-6560356 or pastortiffanygarcea@gmail. com.

Group sizes between two to six people are recommended.
