Like communities across the country and the world, Fulton has suffered because of the ongoing pandemic. Local friends and family members have died, some have been or continue to be sickened by COVID, and numerous businesses and livelihoods have been impacted just in our little city.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, now is a very appropriate time to pause and think of those who mean so much.

This might be a spouse, another loved one, the helpful neighbor, those who work to keep our country safe and healthy, a favorite sports team, pets who are faithful companions—almost anyone or anything.

In addition to all the traditional ways to show one’s appreciation around Valentines Day, Fulton’s community foundation (the Fulton Association for Community Enrichment—FACE) has another way to do it right now that not only pays tribute but helps Fulton two

times over.

First, all donations of at least $25 to FACE’s Community Impact Fund are acknowledged on the LOVE SOMEONE, LOVE FULTON display in the windows of the Masonic Lodge in downtown Fulton—sharing the donor’s love or appreciation with the community at large.

Second, all donations will do good within Fulton, building up the fund used to provide grants to local charitable groups which provide so many services throughout Fulton. Third, the D.S. Flikkema Foundation has provided $5,000 in matching funds that will double the impact of each gift received until more than $5,000 in new donations has been received.

FACE is a geographic affiliate of the Quad Cities Community Foundation so online donations can be made through QCCF’s system (tinyurl.com/lovefulton will take donors directly to FACE’s Community Impact Endowment giving

page).Donations may also be mailed to FACE, PO Box 292, Fulton IL 61252.If you would like additional information, contact Connie Koehn at 815.589.2646.

RIVER BEND SCHOOL DIST.

Board discuss curriculum, COVID-19 vaccines

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The River Bend Board of Education met Jan. 20 with virtual options available. Their first order of business was holding a physical education waiver hearing, with a plan to allow students in Kindergarten through 8th grade the opportunity to participate in art, music, health, and STEM activities on a rotating basis with P.E. class.

In his report, Fulton Elementary Principal Jeff Hoese reported that 10 students and 10 teachers have tested positive for COVID-19 during the school year, which was less than expected. He credited the mitigation measures in place that have helped reduce the spread.

In the “Return to Learn” update, Superintendent Darryl Hogue said Jan. 25 is the estimated date of district availability for the COVID-19 vaccine. He said a few

employees have had the vaccine and reported minor symptoms about 12-24 hours after the shot. As more vaccination clinics for educators become available, they will be shared with the staff.

Next there were informational discussions on curriculum, notably on speech being added throughout the four years in English versus just one semester the senior year, which was previously voted on. The Kindergarten and Preschool round-up is in the planning phase, with more details to be announced next month.

The board also discussed the Finance Committee report regarding ongoing school update projects, touching on the role of the financial adviser who is looking out for the district, and the underwriter, which has no fiduciary obligations to the district.

Hogue informed the board that with new Federal ESSER II funds, the district

will be looking at expenses and determining what the funds can pay for. Reading, math, and science curriculum are all due to renew next year, and Hogue would like to use some of the ESSER II funds to pay for the new curriculums.

He also informed the board about a Dept. of Agriculture grant that allows the district to partner with other schools and colleges by purchasing a software system for $8,800 for a virtual classroom set-up that would include multiple cameras in the room to allow teaching in off-site locations and providing different education experiences.

In board action, they approved the fiscal year 2022 bus lease, approved a few curriculum handbook revisions, held the second reading of select policy updates, and approved other personnel items.

The next board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 17 at the high school.

SCAM ALERT

COVID-19 vaccines from pharmaceutical manufacturers are now being distributed to federal and state-approved locations.

For most people living in the U.S., states and territories will make the final decisions on who will get the vaccines and when. States are also working on their own specific vaccination plans.

While we wait for a timeline and more information, there’s no doubt scammers will be scheming. Here’s what you need to know to avoid a vaccine-related scam: • You likely will not need to pay anything out of pocket to get the vaccine during this public health emergency.

• You can’t pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine.

• You can’t pay to get early access to the vaccine.

• No one from a vaccine distribution site or health care payer, like a private insurance company, will call you asking for your Social Security number or your credit card or bank account information to sign you up to get the vaccine.

• Beware of providers offering other products, treatments, or medicines to prevent the virus. Check with your health care provider before paying for or receiving any COVID-19-related treatment.

If you get a call, text, email — or even someone knocking on your door — claiming they can get you early access to the vaccine, STOP. That’s a scam.

Don’t pay for a promise of vaccine access or share personal information. Instead, report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov or file a complaint with your state or territory attorney general through consumerresources.org, the consumer website of the National Association of Attorneys General.

FULTON NEWS

Allison Winkel takes part in virtual production Allison Winkel of Fulton was part of the cast and crew from Baldwin Wallace University that, under the direction of Victoria Bussert, created the first collegiate virtual production of the powerful Broadway rock musical “Spring Awakening.”

Winkel, a graduate of Fulton High School majoring in music theatre, played the part of Ilse in the co-production between the BW Conservatory of Music’s music theatre program and the department of theatre and dance.

While many college theatre stages went dark for the fall 2020 season, the BW creative team proved music theatre can thrive within the limits of a coronavirus safety net.

The groundbreaking show, shot guerrilla film-style on iPhones at

more than 40 locations throughout Northeast Ohio, premiered November 19-22 and was profiled in American Theatre magazine and The New York Times. Due to demand, a second set of performances streamed December 17-20.

Directing and capturing the performances of two full casts while protecting against the threat of COVID-19 required ingenuity, determination and a delicate balance. “Spring Awakening” is one of an extensive number of performance experiences providing realworld opportunities for students at Baldwin Wallace University. Productions include plays, musicals, operas, music concerts and dance concerts. Details at bw.edu/events.

Tampico teen ID’d as driver killed in crash on Prophet Road

By KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@shawmedia.com

The driver who died Jan. 18 after colliding with a semi tractor-trailer on Prophet Road was 17-year-old Alexandria N. Cannavo of Tampico, Whiteside County Coroner Joe McDonald confirmed in an email.

Cannavo lost control of her car going around a curve and collided with a Rock River Lumber and Grain semi driven by Ricky J. Chapman, 61, of Fenton, around 9:30 a.m. on Prophet just west of Luther Road, the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office said. The car then caught fire.

Chapman had no time to take evasive action, and no citations are pending, the sheriff’s release said.

Cannavo was a senior at Erie-Prophetstown-High School, where she was a straight-A student and played softball and basketball.

She also worked at the Break Room Pub N Grub in Tampico and Little Caesars in Rock Falls.

“Alex was smart, independent, and a hard worker,” the Break Room posted on its Facebook page.

“We truly have never met another 17-year-old like her. We will miss her witty comebacks, her sarcastic tone, her constant ability to make us laugh and help others.”

Her softball teammates also are mourning.

“Alex - we will forever keep you in our hearts,” the EP Panthers posted on their Facebook page.

Back to Books grant to benefit Southside Elementary library

For the second time in four years, the MCUD #6 libraries have won the Illinois State Library Back to Books Grant.

The first time, in 2018, District Librarian Jennifer Stevenson submitted a winning grant proposal for the Morrison High School library, receiving $2,000 to purchase 50 new graphic novels and 38 new nonfiction titles to update and add to the library’s collection.

Most recently, in 2020, Stevenson’s winning proposal secured $1,300 to purchase 130 nonfiction titles to update and fill in the blanks in the Southside Elementary library’s collection.

This grant, along with grants received in the past from the Morrison Schools Foundation, has allowed the library to continue a years-long effort of making nonfiction more popular and appealing among Southside students.

Books purchased include graphic novel adaptations of historical events and people like the Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales series, as well as more books in the already popular You Wouldn’t Want… series that includes titles such as, You Wouldn’t Want to Be In a Medieval Dungeon! and You Wouldn’t Want to Live Without Gravity!

According to Stevenson, these types of books let students read and learn about history, science, animals, and important people in a fun and interesting way.

The effort is paying off. In the last two years, some of the most often circulated books in the Southside library are from the nonfiction section.

These are just a few of the 130 nonfiction titles updating the Southside Elementary library’s collection.

CFAP eligibility expanded USDA has expanded eligibility for some farmers and commodities through the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP). Some payments will also be updated to accurately compensate some producers who already applied for the program.

Producers who are now eligible and those who need to modify existing applications due to the updates can contact USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) until Feb. 26.

Some of these changes are being made to align with the recently enacted Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 while others are discretionary changes being made in response to ongoing evaluation of CFAP. Contract producers of swine, broilers, laying hens, chicken eggs and turkeys who suffered a drop in revenue in 2020 as compared to their 2019 revenue because of the pandemic now are eligible for assistance. Producers could receive up to 80% of their revenue loss, subject to the availability of funds.

Similarly, FSA adjusted the payment calculation to use the producer’s eligible 2019 calendar year sales, and 2019 crop insurance indemnities, NAP and WHIP+ payments, multiplied by the applicable payment rate for all sales commodities, which include specialty crops, aquaculture, specialty livestock, nursery crops and floriculture for CFAP 2. Producers who applied during the sign-up period that closed Dec. 11 can modify

an existing CFAP 2 application until Feb. 26.

Additionally, FSA adjusted the payment calculation for certain row crops for CFAP 2, specifically those for which a producer had crop insurance coverage but not an available 2020 Actual Production History (APH) approved yield.

FSA is now using 100% of the 2019 Agriculture Risk Coverage-County Option benchmark yield to calculate payments when an APH is not available rather than 85%, which was in the original CFAP 2 calculations. This calculation change is only for producers with crop insurance coverage who grow barley, corn, sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, upland cotton and wheat. Producers who applied during the sign-up period that closed Dec. 11 can modify an existing CFAP 2 application until Feb. 26.

FSA is also providing an additional CFAP 1 inventory payment for swine producers who face continuing market disruptions from changes in U.S. meat consumption due to the pandemic.

Swine producers with approved CFAP 1 applications will soon automatically receive a “top-up” payment of $17 per head, increasing the total CFAP 1 inventory payment to $34 per head.

Newly eligible producers who need to submit a CFAP 2 application or producers who need to modify an existing one may contact their local USDA Service Center. New applicants can also obtain one-on-one support with applications by calling 877-508-8364.

IN BRIEF GROWMARK Foundation scholarship program The GROWMARK Foundation is offering a $1,500 scholarship program for students in the pursing 2- or 4-year degrees or trade school certification in an agriculture-related field.

Applicants must complete an online application which includes academic information, community service and leadership activities, and essay questions regarding agriculture and cooperatives.

Applications will be judged by a panel of agribusiness professionals.

High school seniors or students at any level of higher education may complete the application at www.growmark.com/about-us/corporate-commitments Applications are due by midnight April 15, recipients will be notified by July 1.

Toward the end of the drive, there was a very generous donor who chose to help and add to the over $1,200 in monetary donations.

Fulton High School thanks you for your generosity and help, and helping us give to the Albany and Fulton food pantries for the holiday season.

RIVER BEND SHCOOL MENUS Lauren Mahoney, B.L.I.N.D. Leader not only because I get to be a leader, but I get to build relationships with underclassmen. Also, I am able to have opportunities and other lessons that I may have never experienced if I was not a B.L.I.N.D leader.

One fun fact about you.

I plan to attend college somewhere in Florida, moving down there right out of high school.

Words of advice.

Always be yourself. If you never act yourself, you will never fulfill the life you dream of. Surround yourself with people you feel comfortable with and do what you love!

YOUR HEALTH

Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) Dr. STEVEN D. HARRISON, M.D.

Many people with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s, ALS, multiple sclerosis, and even Alzheimer’s may have a condition which their emotional reflex is seemingly disconnected.

These individuals may be prone to involuntary outbursts of crying or laughing that do not match up the patient’s emotional state.

The outbursts are often sudden and intense and may happen several times a day lasting from seconds to minutes. The difference with PBA and depression is that depressed people feel depressed and express that mood, whereas those with PBA do not feel depressed but may appear to others that they are because of crying, etc. Some experts feel it may affect up to one to two million people, though many remain undiagnosed.

The exact cellular cause remains

unknown, but it is felt there is a disruption between the cerebral portion that interprets the emotion and the reflex portion beginning in the cerebellar region. Patients are often aware of this disconnect, but still unable to control it.

Often times mood medicines are employed, however, only if there is actual coexisting depression or other treatable mood will then be affected.

It is important for families to recognize these responses and develop brief statements that indicate the process is understood and accepted.

Recently, Nuedexta has been released which appeared to have some benefit. This medication actually combines two older medicines, Dextromethorphan and Quinidine, in a special combination.

Occasionally there is diarrhea, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, weakness, welling or other side effects.
