No-cost mental health access available for ag community

By TOM C. DORAN tdoran@shawmedia.com

With low commodity prices, high input costs, weather, taxes, personnel and other concerns, farmers and ranchers face a myriad of stresses in their lives – and free resources are available to help get through those tough times.

University of Illinois Extension offers help through its Agricultural Mental Health Voucher Program.

The program, part of the Extension-led North Central Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Center, allows agricultural producers, workers and their family members to seek free help from a certified mental health professional.

U of I Extension will provide three free vouchers to be used at participating providers located across Illinois.

The program is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the farm bill and the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Signing up for the vouchers for free mental health assistance is simple and anonymous.

Kacie Hulshof, Illinois Agricultural Mental Health Voucher Program coordinator, said the process begins with a producer making an online request at go.illinois.edu/FarmStressVoucher.

“We receive the request [and] verify they’re from Illinois and they have a connection to agriculture,” she said. “We receive very basic information. It’s not a detailed form that’s going to take 10 minutes to fill out. It’s very quick, very basic information: your name, occupation and the connection to agriculture.

“We then verify that and, once granted, we send them three vouchers. They also receive a participating provider list that has over 120 providers across Illinois who are in agreement with us that they take those vouchers.

“They get to pick which provider they want to see, and I think that’s huge as far as the benefit of them making that decision. They redeem those vouchers, and then we reimburse their providers directly. There’s no need for insurance, because a lot of times, working in the ag industry, some people may not have insurance, may not know their insurance policies, may want to keep it as private as possible and don’t want insurance involved. They can seek and receive mental health care for free because of this program.”

Since the program was launched in June 2023, more than 1,800 vouchers have been distributed. That’s more than

Researchers at the University of Illinois are working to ensure producers and their families have the resources and access to services to manage their stress and mental health.

600 requests made in the past two years at three vouchers apiece.

Anonymous service

Hulshof stressed the anonymity of the program.

“We try to keep things as basic as possible to allow people to feel that security,” she said. “The vouchers are completely anonymous. We have created it so that no one would know if you’ve made a request. We can either do it by mail or email. It’s whatever the producer feels or the individual feels is safest.”

Help through the program is available both through telehealth and in person with mental health professionals.

“It’s truly as much or as little as the individual wants,” Hulshof said. “The process is completely anonymous. We keep things within the provider, and they can’t share any information with us either. So, it’s really cross-referenced, where people don’t know you’re asking for help unless you tell.”

Training offered

The U of I Extension program also provides ag literacy training for the mental health care providers.

Because it’s a statewide program, some mental health providers may not be familiar with the ag sector and its uniqueness.

“It’s a four-hour training that gives them the basics of what farmers go through, what their profession deals with that might be different than others, because it is just so intertwined with personal life, work life, family life,” Hulshof said. “The training helps give them a framework or a footing to start with. That

way, farmers know this person has at least a small understanding, ‘I don’t have to go in there and explain markets to them,’ or ‘I don’t have to go in there and, as a dairy farmer, they’re going to tell me to take a week off work when I’m stressed.’ That’s just not sound advice at that point.”

Spanish option

The Illinois Agricultural Mental Health Voucher Program now also has a Spanish option.

“We have Spanish-speaking providers, so farmworkers who are seeking mental health care can receive care as well through these vouchers,” Hulshof said.

Prohpetstown natives love getting together to make music

By CODY CUTTER ccutter@shawmedia.com

PROPHETSTOWN – About 4,300 miles separate Timothy Morris from his father Steve, spanning half of the Pacific Ocean and two-thirds of the mainland U.S.

But despite that distance, they’re always just a drumbeat away from each other.

When the pair of Prophetstown natives get together, Timothy hits the right chord, Steve doesn’t miss a beat and the two are in their element. They’re also in their own two-man band, entertaining crowds at festivals and bars or spending hours in the studio working on their next record.

The son-and-father duo perform as the Timothy Morris Band, melding their musical influences into attention-grabbing, dynamic sets of original songs and covers. Timothy plays electric, bass and acoustic guitars, as well as keyboards. Steve pounds on the drums and percussion. Timothy does most of the lead singing, but each backs the other up when the other is on lead.

Timothy calls Nashville home these days, and Steve is enjoying the island life in Wailuku, Hawaii, but they haven’t forgotten where they come from: They still fine-tune and crank out their songs at a Prophetstown studio Steve owns before they set out on tours throughout the year.

The Morrises have performed at venues as large as Dixon’s annual Petunia Fest in July 2024 to smaller club gigs in Maui this past January. It’s a father-son relationship that’s music to their ears, and the kind of relationship on stage that not every band shares.

“I love it,” Timothy said. “I think that, musically, we both have the same DNA, and a lot of people can’t even tell our voices apart. Since we’ve been playing together forever, I think we sing well together, and catch idiosyncrasies and little nuances in each other’s playing really well just from the chemistry of playing together for so long. All of that time pays off and goes into the music, rather than start from scratch. We can understand each other where we’re going musically.”

Before playing with Timothy, Steve’s best-known gig, he said, was drumming for The Funnies, who performed locally for about 15 years. Steve has drummed for local bands both close to home and across the nation for almost 40 years, and is happy to see his son shine in their act.

“For me, it’s incredible,” Steve said. “I’d say that even if he wasn’t my son, he’s the guitar player I would want to play with. His solos are great. There are bits of every guitar player that I grew up with that I liked to hear. Even if we weren’t related, I’d hire this guy. Then to have that father-son time, that I would say most don’t get to have, it’s precious to me. I’m very blessed.”

The musical DNA is strong in their family. Timothy’s brother Steffen Wade and sister Faith September Morris, both of whom also are musicians, grew up around their father’s band equipment and found themselves playing a few instruments.

“I always had a studio setup at the house and they would take in everything by osmosis,” Steve said. “I never really showed them anything, they just kind of picked everything up.”

It was during Steve’s time with The Funnies when a young Timothy made his musical debut during a concert at Tampico Days, briefly relieving Dad on the drum set.

“When we would play Tampico Days, Tim would get up and play with The Funnies on drums, and that was his

beginnings,” Steve said.

Both Timothy and Steve had solo careers before they teamed up in 2020, just before the COVID–19 pandemic swept the globe. As public performances largely left the stage, they found themselves with a lot of free time, and in the studio recording. That’s when Steve came up with an idea to turn their strengths into a week moment.

“When COVID hit, Dad had the idea to do an album in one week, since there was all of this free time,” Timothy said. “I said, ‘You’re crazy! That’s never going to happen.’ We put in 12-, 15-hour days and it was hard work, but we cranked out a full album.”

The result: “Good Quaranevening,” a name inspired from a typical opening of a news broadcast. (“We were trying to figure out what to call it, and I’m like, ‘That’s stupid, let’s use that,’” Timothy said.) The album was recorded in a garden shed at Steve’s home and released in the late spring of 2020. It features nine songs, three of which remain staples on their concert setlists.

Since the first album, the pair have released “For the Sake of Nothing” (2022) and “Lifeline” (2024), and Timothy has

released three solo albums: “Last Time Till Broadway” (2020), “Can We Still Save the Music?” (2021) and “Sami” (2022).

Timothy writes most of their music, and he and Steve come up with lyrics together.

“Whenever I’m going through anything, I just want to write something,” Timothy said. “It doesn’t always correlate, but it’s more of a cathartic release. Musically, there are always hundreds of ideas lying around and always stuff coming through my fingers. I like to be in a state of constant creation.”

While many fans hear traces of Rush, The Beatles and Styx in their music, the Morrises like to think outside the box when it comes to music (and inside the box, too, like when Timothy uses a talk box on covers like Peter Frampton’s signature song “Do You Feel Like I Do?”) They draw their influences from a large and eclectic songbook, tapping into bands ranging from the ’60s to the ’90s, including artists from other genres aside from rock and roll.

Died: September 22, 2025 in Silvis, Illinois

In early September, Millie was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer, Malignant Rhabdoid Tumor (MRT), that originated in her liver and spread to her lungs. Despite the diagnosis, Millie showed a strength far beyond her months. She fought with quiet courage and deep love until the Lord gently welcomed her into eternal peace. Millie never strayed far from her mama’s side, her constant companion and sweet little sidekick. Whether at home or helping sell LW Cattle Co. beef, Millie could always be found in her mother’s arms. Her giggle could brighten the darkest day, and her chubby cheeks, long lashes, and beautiful eyes brought smiles wherever she went. People often said she was her daddy’s twin, which always led to the same joke, Wesley sure makes a pretty cute

When it comes to describing their music, “I like that it’s hard to box us in,” Timothy said.

One of those inspirations found its way into some of the songs on “Lifeline,” the hard rock/progressive metal band King’s X. The Morrises opened for the band at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, where Timothy works, in the summer of 2023, a concert which ranks as one of the duo’s most memorable, Timothy said.

those bands. It all just comes back to putting a little bit of everything into the music to the point where different people’s ears take away different things.”

Timothy’s music philosophy is to help people feel less alone, he said. In doing so, he’s developed a format for his concerts that he hopes keeps the audience’s attention: moving around throughout the stage, switching up styles between the first and second songs, and keeping that variety going throughout their show.

“I’m all over the place doing everything I can do to make sure you don’t look away from me,” Timothy said.

hours with being bombarded with the world. On whatever level that I can help make somebody feel better, that’s what I want the music to do.”

This year, the band played another string of shows during the summer in the Sauk Valley. Timothy and Steve also paired to form another act earlier this year, Divided by 2, a tribute to U2.

Timothy has another solo album in the works, as well as another in collaboration with his sister. It’s shaping up to be a busy year, but it’s time well spent, Steve said.

that time is short of being able to do this.”

Whether it’s plugging in an amp, plugging a family album, or plugging away in the studio, it’s all about making connections for Timothy and his dad –not just with each other, but with their audience.

“I like that different people come up and tell us completely different things about who we sound like and what type of band we are. We get a lot of ‘90s comments, which is funny because a lot of our influences probably influenced

“That’s what our show comes down to, and I think that’s key. We’re fun to watch, whether you listen to music or not. I hope they get joy out of it, whether it be from the lyrics, or taking your mind off of everything for a couple of

“When it’s just the two of us out there – especially when we’re not playing a big show with a big sound system and stuff – you’re doing the sound, the lights, you do the [merchandise], and you drive yourselves there,” Steve said. “I wouldn’t be flying from Hawaii to play here if it wasn’t for my son. I know

“I don’t think there’s any better feeling than connecting with somebody through art,” Timothy said. “It’s just finding any possible road to that feeling. It’s fulfilling because that’s what we were put on this Earth to do, I truly believe that. I love connecting with people, and that’s what it’s all about. All of the challenges to get there are worth it.”

Former NFL pro Dwight lends a hand to

By SAUK VALLEY MEDIA STAFF REPORT

During the week of Sept. 15, Tim Dwight, a former pro football running back, visited Sandburr Run near Thomson and participated on Fulton Kiwanis Club President Chris Meyers’ team, playing 18 holes of golf.

Each year the Fulton Kiwanis Club hosts a golf outing to fund scholarships that are awarded in May to students who are continuing their education either in a trade field or are going to a college or university.

Dwight was thanked by Dr. Bill Wilkin, chairman of the event, and because of his presence, the golf fundraiser had a full roster of 15 teams participating.

A waitress reported to police that she had found the cellphone, which Simon said belonged to Hicks. Hicks’ image was also captured on bank surveillance video, Simon said.

Hicks was found on July 5 in Sterling with cash, a bike, computer equipment, including a new laptop, multiple cellphones and liquor that he had just bought at the Sterling Walmart, Simon said during the July 7 court appearance.

Hicks denied being in Morrison, but police said they think he had been staying at a house in Morrison on July 4 and had been kicked out.

It will be his 40th full marathon and his 15th consecutive race registration in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.

Be on the lookout for fake documents, websites

The FBI released a public service announcement, warning of criminals who are spoofing the FBI’s own Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).

The IC3 is the government’s online portal, where victims can make detailed reports to the FBI when they fall victim to internet or computer schemes. By spoofing this website, crooks hope to lure people in with the purpose of gathering personal information, including banking information and details of the crime.

Criminals create spoofed websites by just slightly altering the words or using an alternative spelling of the web address of a legitimate website. Or they use a different domain, changing the .gov domain to .com or .org. In the case of the IC3, they might change the legitimate web address (www.IC3.gov) to appear as www.1C3.com.

The spoofing of the FBI complaint website is not unique. A couple of weeks ago, a Clinton woman reported she saw an ad on Facebook promoting online chair yoga for seniors. To participate, she needed to open a link to sign up and take a survey.

This sounded interesting to the woman, so she clicked open the link, took the survey, and signed up, using her credit card to pay $34.99 for three months of chair yoga. But the credit card provider kicked the charge back

Randy Meier VIEWS

almost immediately, labeling it as fraud. When we looked into it, we saw the website associated with the Facebook ad appeared as “Fit-Me”, very close to a real and popular fitness app “Fitme.”

Scammers also work hard to produce authentic-looking documents to support their phony stories. Here’s a few of the fakes turned in to me by Iowa residents in the last couple of months:

• A Jackson County woman wanted to sell out of her time-share. She paid a considerable amount to what turned out to be a scam company who promised to sell her property. Nothing happened. Someone else contacted her and claimed they worked for the U.S. government, which recovered her stolen money, and wanted to return it to her. To puff up his credibility, this caller sent her faked copies of IRS forms and U.S. Treasury forms, and U.S. court records about the prosecution of timeshare scammers in 2012. This worked to persuade her to send more money to recover what she already lost.

• A DeWitt woman received a call telling her someone stole and used her social security number in committing crimes. To help catch these criminals, the caller wanted the woman to buy gold. To convince the woman the caller was legitimate, he emailed her official-looking government documents showing how her money was held as a bond for safekeeping at the U.S. Treasury.

• A Camanche woman became involved in an online romance with a man who claimed to live in Texas. He told her he claimed her as his wife when filing federal tax returns. When the woman’s family later became suspicious, they learned someone indeed filed an income tax return in her name, using her information to prepare a fake W-2, which showed her employer withheld $660,000 from her salary, and wanted that refunded.

• A Clinton woman lost a great deal of money trying to buy a puppy off the internet. After she realized her mistakes, she received messages from online sleuths who promised to recover her missing money. When she inquired further, the criminals directed her to a bank website, which they said showed $92,000 of her money, just setting there, for her to reclaim – if she paid them a fee.

There’s a couple of precautions

when looking for websites:

• Avoid any search engine results labeled as “sponsored.” Sponsored means someone paid to get their result highly placed – scammers do this to deter traffic from legitimate sites to faked ones. Not all “sponsored” sites are scams, but enough of them are to use caution.

• Instead of relying on a search engine to find a website, type the official website into your address bar, if you know it.

• If you are not convinced of a website’s authenticity, never share sensitive information there.

It’s very easy for grifters and thieves to fake almost any official document to include real-looking signatures. If you find yourself looking at something you don’t understand, from someone who wants your money, ask for help.
