MORRISON – Morrison’s Department of Fun is hosting a Glow Bangers Ball and parade to the theme of classic 1980s culture and TV shows Sept. 7.

The party starts at 6 p.m. with local businesses and booths opening to the public. At 7 p.m., the 1980s-style band Big Hair Mafia will perform at the venue. About 8 p.m., when it gets dark, the glow parade will sweep through town.

People are encouraged to dress up in 1980s-era costumes and wear whatever can light up when joining in on the fun. At 10 p.m., guests can head inside the open

bars to continue the celebration.

Amanda Cook, a member of the Department of Fun, said this is the third year Morrison has had a glow parade.

This year, they wanted to draw more people to the celebration, which is why they hired Big Hair Mafia, a band that has performed at larger venues such as the Mississippi Valley Fair. It’s the hope of the Department of Fun to bring in more Iowa and Quad Cities residents to the festival.

The parade encourages outside-the-box entries. In previous years, glow parade stars have included side-by-side vehicles such as power wheelers, bikes, scooters and in one memorable case a motorized picnic table. Cook said they want entries

with lawn mowers, tractors and any other vehicles bedazzled with lights.

“As long as it can be lit up,” she said.

This year’s event is based on the classic 1980s TV show “Headbanger’s Ball.” People are invited to dress in 1980s style, complete with mullets, big wigs and other accessories from the decade. Brick Block Pub will host an outside tiki tree tent and other restaurants and bars will be ready to serve festivalgoers, Cook said.

To add an entry to the parade, text 63060-5329 or Facebook message the Department of Fun with your name and type of vehicle. There is a suggested donation of $5 per entry. Kids entries are free. Prizes will be given to the most creative entries.

dumped more than 2.5 inches of rain on Fulton. People reported hail that was pea-sized to as big as a golf ball.

Trees and limbs were down, but the heavy lightning did not strike any homes. Winds uprooted trees with a twisting motion that indicated a tornado-like action.

Some see it as a white elephant, some see it as a wonderful gathering place and most of us see it as “the former fire station” but the steering committee for the Robert Fulton Community Center has worked diligently to create a new vision that will transform the RFCC into a hub of community service and activity for all ages.

The city of Fulton took possession of the former fire station in 2008. The City Council decided it should be used for senior services. Since that time, the building has undergone a number of transformations.

YOUR HEALTH

Exposure to mold can have serious impact on health

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Exposure to mold can have a significant impact on our immune system and well-being.

There are many ways to have exposure to mold.

Mold can enter the body through the mouth, nose and any open space including the ears. Water and food consumption may be part of the picture.

Even the washing machine may introduce mold into the system.

Usual exposure is through spores of mold. This leads to the production of further mold growth in the skin and nails. Some presentations may include athlete’s foot or jock itch and fungal nail infections. The sinuses are an overlooked area for many people but are a common source and very difficult to eliminate. Allergies, asthma and related conditions may be affected.

The gastrointestinal tract may be a

significant harbor for mold. This can contribute to food intolerances and poor absorption.

Exposure to mold is quite easy. It may come anytime the humidity is above 50%. This is why dehumidification is very important.

Water-damaged buildings are a great source for mold as are leaks.

Water in the basement is another classic example. Sometimes it is merely because a pet has urinated inside the house a lot. Mold also is a big issue in the grain supply, which in turn may go through the system of our pets.

We must not forget that sometimes the exposure to mold occurred years ago.

Another common source is the crawl space. Musty smells are an obvious concern but not necessarily mold.

Window air-conditioning and evaporative air-conditioning units increase risk.

Coolers are common sources.

There’s also visible mold such as in the shower. Under the vanity is a common source for mold. Leaky windows are another source.

Unfortunately, coffee, whether decaffeinated or otherwise, may be a common source for mold. In addition, some peanut butters are prone to this mold growth as well.

Symptoms of mold exposure can be quite varied. They may act like other allergies – runny nose, sneezing. There also may be gastrointestinal issues.

Sometimes sleep problems and slow healing come from mold exposure. In addition, ringing in the ears, numbness and tingling and dizziness may be brought about by mold exposure.

Asthma can be triggered by it. While it may not start autistic spectrum conditions, it certainly can influence them.

Anxiety and depression and mood swings are not unheard of in terms of

being provoked by mold. Chemical sensitivities and sensitivities to light and sound or touch may be aggravated by mold. In the gastrointestinal tract, mold may weaken the lining and contribute to overgrowth of harmful organisms.

One of the downstream problems is mold contributes to the buildup of oxalates and salicylates, which are harmful for us as well.

Besides reducing humidity with devices and eliminating obvious and hidden sources of mold, there may be some help with certain supplements.

The problem is some of those supplements such as NAC and Alpha lipoic acid and glutathione and Epson salts may not be well-tolerated.

In any event, all these measures activate the immune system mast cell activation syndrome that we have talked about elsewhere. Like elsewhere, vigilance is key to prevention.

American Legion to host flag retirement ceremony Sept. 29 SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com

MORRISON – The Morrison American Legion will conduct its annual Retirement Flag Ceremony at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29.

“On the last Sunday of September of every year, we conduct our Flag Retirement Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park,” Legion officials said in a news release. “Flags that have been deposited in our flag drop box throughout the year are burned pursuant to U.S. Flag Code and Resolution 440 of the 19th National Legion Convention. Our ceremony is very impressive and fitting for U.S. flags that have performed their duty and are no longer serviceable.”

Last year, 508 flags were retired.

Retired flags of any type – POW/ MIA, Illinois, etc. – will be burned in a respectful manner. Flags will be accepted on the day of the event as long as officials can receive them in time so as not to disrupt the ceremony.

The public is invited to attend this short ceremony. Lawn chairs are encouraged for anyone attending the event, which will be held just west of Veterans Memorial Park in Grove Hill Cemetery. If using a GPS, enter 520 N. Genesee St., Morrison, and the ceremony will be north of that site.

New 3-by-5-foot U.S. flags will be available to buy for $25.

For more information, call American Legion Post 328 at 815-310-0333.

The Post is located at 306 E. Main St. in Morrison.

Shaw Local News Network correspondent MORRISON – Morrison’s Presbyterian church has completed upgrades to repair the coverings of its stained-glass windows.

In 2015, the Presbyterian church replaced the old fiberglass protection of its stained-glass windows with a black metal covering. Recently, pieces of that metal began falling off and weakening the structure of the cover, leading to workers from Bovard Studios in Fairview, Iowa, to begin replacing the window covers.

The Rev. Mike Selburg said the church building’s history ties throughout the history of the town. The Presbyterian church first was incorporated in 1858.

According to local legend, both the church and Morrison itself came to life out of a feud between the railroads.

In the 1800s, the majority of people settled in Unionville. The land that would become Morrison was seen as less than ideal for settlement, but when the railroads began to build into Unionville, the town insisted on charging the rail lines more to cross. In response, the railroads elected to circle around the town and that led both the church and people into a settlement that became Morrison.

The Presbyterian church building, Selburg said, is “like England – built upon the old.”

The building has gone through major structural changes since its construction. At one point in its history, the church had a tower associated with it, and incremental expansions have been made throughout the years. The last of the major construction pieces

occurred in the 1960s. Around the late 1960s, construction on an education room began to match the baby boomer population surge, although officials failed to realize that the boom was temporary.

In recent history, money from a donor led to the purchase of the property next to the church that is used by its popular produce table. The Share Table was started in 2017 as a way to distribute vegetables and other food items to the community.

Selburg said it has served as a sort of “social experiment” to show the giving nature of people. The produce table now is a popular destination and the construction of a gazebo covering has been started.

The stained-glass windows have an interesting history. Fiberglass was put over the windows when, according to Selburg’s archives, someone threw a brick through the windows. The material, however, began to turn the windows yellow, and since the windows had no ventilation, the stained glass began to degrade.

Sometime around 2015, churchgoers began construction on new protections for the windows that wouldn’t inhibit the view of the stained glass. The outside coverings were sourced from Bovard Studios.

When the metal coverings around the window protections began to come loose, Bovard Studios chose to stand by its work and began repairs despite the warranty having expired.

Selburg first approached Bovard Studios in order to promote local business construction.

There have been talks about adding LED lights for Anakin Weston the stained-glass windows to highlight one of Morri- Work has been completed on stained-glass window repair son’s landmarks. at Morrison’s Presbyterian Church.

Shaw Media names Hosey executive editor Will oversee news operations across northern Illinois

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com Joseph Hosey has returned to Shaw Media as executive editor for the company’s news operations.

Hosey previously was with Shaw Media as editor of the Herald-News in Joliet from 2018 to 2022. He left to become executive editor of The Times of Northwest Indiana, a position he held until returning to Shaw this week.

“I’m really glad to be back with

Shaw Media,” Hosey said. “It’s a great company, and I’m looking forward to working with this talented team.”

Hosey also was a reporter for the Herald-News from Joe Hosey 1999 to 2010, a period in which he reported on the disappearance of former Bolingbrook police officer Drew Peterson’s wife and the death of his previous wife.

Hosey’s investigation into the Peterson matter led to his book “Fatal

Vows: The Tragic Wives of Sergeant Drew Peterson” and a Lifetime movie adapting the book.

“We are very fortunate that Joe agreed to return to Shaw Media,” said John Rung, president and CEO of Shaw Media. “He did a tremendous job for us as a reporter and an editor for the Herald-News. We were sorry to see him go, but he gained tremendous experience working for Lee Enterprises in northwest Indiana.

I look forward to working with Joe as we strive to better serve readers across northern Illinois.”

Shaw Media owns newspapers and radio stations across northern Illinois

and in Iowa, serving markets in 17 counties with editorial content devoted primarily to local news.

Hosey’s past experience includes work as a reporter in Rock Hill, South Carolina, and Lincoln, Illinois.

His work as a journalist has been recognized with several awards, including the National Press Club John Aubuchon Press Freedom Award. He was inducted into the Northern Illinois University Journalism Hall of Fame.

Hosey is originally from Queens, New York.

He lives in New Lenox with his family.

The Ancestor Project As one of the final projects of the year, seventh graders at Erie Middle School were challenged to pick an ancestor or someone else that they could research and learn more about in order to write a story telling about their life. Students conducted interviews with family members and some were able to gather additional resources and pictures to help tell their story. While there were many great stories written, not all will be published.

The project was a collaborative effort between students’ history classes with Mrs. Kruthoff and Mr. Armstrong, English class with Mrs. 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.

Students enjoyed getting to know more about their families and many were surprised to learn how interesting their families were. We hope you will enjoy their stories, too.

Richard Gerald Geerts Jr.

By Kail Glines Do you ever wonder what your life would be like if your grandparents raised your parents differently and if that would have had an effect on your life today?

Some things Richard Gerald Geerts Jr. liked were sports, which he didn’t succeed at but set his son up for and now I’m on that same path. Also, his personality was very creative and inspiring to his family and friends, which has made many of their lives better.

Richard Gerald Geerts Jr. is an amazing person because he had a great childhood, he lived a great life, and he died with a family to carry on his legacy. Most of all, he passed on

his creativity, personality and his hobbies to others to bring them to use.

Richard Gerald Geerts Jr.’s childhood began at his birth on Feb. 5, 1960, in Davenport, Iowa. His parents were Richard and Charlotte Geerts and he had a brother named Richard Geerts III. He went to school in Davenport and graduated from Central High School in 1978.

When Richard was in school, one of his friends was Roger Craig, who went on to become an NFL superstar, winning a Super Bowl when he played for the San Francisco 49ers. He was the 49ers’ star running back.

Richard had many accomplishments. He won multiple skeet shooting tournaments as a kid.

A fun fact about Richard’s family is many people would get confused when they met his family because five or six people have the same first and last name including Richard, his brother and his father.

Moving into Richard’s adult life, he was a young man when he married.

He was 19 years old. He married Lola Clark right after he graduated from high school. During his marriage, he had his first child Billy Geerts.

Richard was a loyal man and was married only to Lola his whole life.

Richard’s work life was bland. He worked as a manager for an auto manufacturing company for many years until he semiretired for a couple of years. Richard was never in the military.

His life wasn’t that boring because one of his favorite hobbies was collecting.

One of his favorite things to collect was toy cars, which he kept until he gave them to his grandchildren. When he was collecting toy cars, he never let his kids play with them and it made them mad because when they had kids he let them play with the toys.

Another one of his favorite things to collect was unique swords that he gave to his middle child Richard, who still has them today at their old house.

When middle child Richard got together with my mother, he went to his parents’ house and brought us with him to introduce us and the moment Richard Jr. saw us, he never wanted us to leave.

Within 10 years, Richard Jr. had six grandchildren before he died.

After his death, there was another grandchild in 2017.

When Richard Jr. was a younger adult, he was an Iowa Hawkeyes fan, but even better, his middle child was one of the best baseball players in the state.

After Richard Jr. semiretired, he started his own business after about a year because he loved cars and started to build them at his new business.

Later in Richard’s life, he moved to LeClaire, Iowa, where his kids grew up the rest of their lives until adulthood. During this time, he had a friend named Mike Hauser who had been his best friend his whole life.

For many years, Richard spent his free time playing with his grandkids.

He played with toys, bought them whatever they wanted and in doing this, he upset his kids because he never did this for them. Some advice he gave his kids and younger generations was to take care of your women and work hard under any conditions.

Richard Gerald Geerts Jr.’s life came to an end on Nov. 17, 2015, at 54 years old with three kids and six grandchildren.

Some more things about my grandpa before he died are that he was a very determined collector of swords and toy cars until he gave the toy cars to his grandkids. He loved to watch football and loved that his son

was the same and so am I. His physique was very football-like because he was 6-foot-2 and he was about 250 pounds.

He was obsessed with his grandchildren and gave them everything anytime they wanted it. Even though he didn’t have a very long life compared with others, he still had many lifelong friends that he grew up with and would’ve still been friends with today.

I learned and realized many things about my grandpa’s life before and after I met him. I learned that my grandpa wasn’t a very mean guy like I thought he was. However, I was just looking on the dark side of things when I saw him. I see more about how nice and how creative he was after this paper because having the creativity to start, name and brand your own business is very hard and takes lots of intelligence and creativity.

I also feel closer now that I know more of my family likes sports and that it’s not just me and my dad. Also, a life lesson I learned was to not judge a book by its cover and don’t like or dislike anyone before you learn to know them.

In conclusion, Richard Gerald Geerts Jr. was a great person and king because he had a great childhood, which led to his amazing legacy he left behind. Even his adult life led his children to even better lives and better people.

In Richard’s adult life, he spent time with his grandchildren and was a sports fan his entire life. Through his life and my research, I have learned a lot about him and his life and what it was like for my parents to grow up with him. Since my dad and grandpa both did amazing things that I’ve learned about, I can’t imagine what things they’ve done that I don’t know about.

Morrison Food Pantry president MORRISON – It doesn’t seem like a year has passed, but on Aug. 29 the Morrison Food Pantry will celebrate its one-year anniversary for food distribution at its new building at 629 E. Lincolnway.

The pantry just had a new sign erected where the old Hilltop Bowling Alley sign used to be. The pantry has rented the back half of the building to The Cage, where baseball players can practice their craft year-round. They have proved to be excellent tenants and we are pleased to help give back to the community in support of our young people.

During the early part of summer, members of the Morrison High School football team and their coach volunteered to help with our food distribution, along with several young ladies from Morrison High School who helped most of the summer. Thank you all for your help. You are greatly appreciated.

We would like to recognize several organizations that actively support us each month. The Rotary Club supplies us with help in unloading our monthly River Bend Food Bank truck order, and in July, the club presented us with a $500 check as part of its regional fight against hunger.

St. Anne’s Episcopal Church and The Lions Club bring in donations of personal care items, which they collect from their members each month, supplying much-needed and appreciated items for our clients.

We also want to thank all the people who have individually donated either food or personal care items. Thank you for caring. We’ve had donations of fresh eggs, produce and other food items, which is a great help.

In July, we posted an appeal on Facebook for personal care items. The Community State Bank volunteered to act as the collection point for personal care items donated by the Morrison community and delivered 117 pounds of items Aug. 1.

Many thanks to the community for your donations and to Community State Bank for collecting and delivering the items.

Kevin Kuehl donated insulation for our cooling room remodel and four heavy-duty shelving units. Thanks Kevin.

Our new secure website – morrisonfoodpantry.org – has been moved to Stahr Media LLC’s platform out of Rock Falls and is updated and operational. Our phone number is 815-4412733. Our email is morrisonfoodpantry@gmail.com.

We may not always be able to answer the phone right away but will

I would like to thank Kathy Schmidt for her assistance in moving the website from MIT to Stahr Media. Kathy worked on setting up the original website and was gracious enough to do our updates for us before our recent website move.

As a reminder, pantry clients must sign up for our services and meet the income criteria established by the Illinois Department of Human Services before they are eligible to receive food and other items once a month. We have the sign-up sheet online along with information about the pantry and the income eligibility list.

Our personal care list also is on the website should you wish to donate items. We prefer the smaller sizes of laundry and dish soap so we can give them out to a larger number of families. Dollar Tree and Dollar General usually have a good selection of these items.

Each month we have more requests than we have supplies. We are one of the few area food pantries that give out personal care items such as toilet paper, paper towels, Kleenex, soap, shampoo and conditioner, laundry and dish soap, household cleaning supplies, deodorant, ladies personal hygiene products, disposable razors, etc.

Because these items are donated, we may not always have every item in stock each week.

I would like to thank the Morrison community for your support of the pantry. Without it, we could not stay open. As many of you know, we do not receive any tax money from the city,

county, state or federal governments.

We rely on the public’s generosity

to keep us afloat. We, along with other pantries, are concerned about the reduced donations of food items to our suppliers, River Bend Food Bank and Sauk Valley Food Bank, this past year.

The food banks’ cost of procuring nondonated items also has risen, which will impact our bottom line.

Please keep us in mind as you look at ways to help your community and to help ease food insecurity. We are all in this together.

Our newly elected board of directors and officers for fiscal 2024-25 are Sheila Sonberg; Rick Smith; Paul Vandervinne; Randy Kuehl; Rick Deter, treasurer; Cal Vandermyde, secretary; Carole Patton, vice president; Kathy Vandervinne; Leveda Ashlin, president. Director Debra Kuehl made a decision to step down from the board and we commend her for her years of service.

Kuehl still is very active as a volunteer and our Facebook coordinator.

We have welcomed Sonberg as a newly elected director.

In closing, I would like to say a big thank you to volunteers Pat Popkin, Rick Barr, Richard Swanson and Len Ashlin and also to our board of directors for their dedication to the pantry.

You truly are the best.

FULTON – The Mulkins Family will perform at 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 1, on the outdoor stage at Spring Valley Reformed Church, 10960 Spring Valley Road.

An evening of praise and worship is planned and a freewill offering will be taken. In case of inclement weather, the concert will be moved indoors.

“We will be ending the season strong by serving root beer floats at the end of the concert,” MiKayla Medendorp said. “The Mulkins Family exists to glorify God through their music and evangelism. As a young family, they continue to develop their instrument skills and singing harmony to deliver a fun, uplifting and God-honoring gospel concert. People leave their concerts feeling encouraged and inspired. Their music style is Southern and bluegrass gospel.”

The Mulkins Family consists of Rick and Cindy Mulkins and their nine children in order of age: Ruby, Isaac, Noah, Grace, Hazel, Jacob, Caleb, Ezra and Esther.
