FULTON

Fulton Fire Protection District seeks volunteers

There is nothing that matters more in these trying times than the strength of Fulton’s community. This is why the members of the Fulton Fire Protection District formally request any and all members of our beloved community to join the ranks and work alongside the 41 courageous first-responders tasked with keeping our neighborhoods safe and our neighbors healthy.

You may be inclined to ask why we require more helping hands if we have 41 able-bodied individuals already. To elaborate, the FFPD, or Fulton Fire Protection District, operates on a voluntary basis.

The Fulton Fire Department has welcomed and parted ways with many hard working individuals since 1887. The FFPD has frequently collaborated with other fire departments within the area, aiding patients and quelling fires whenever possi-

The Fulton Fire Protection District is seeking volunteers to join current first-responders. ble.

Those who serve under the banner of this establishment are employed all across the Illinois-Iowa area, and as such, are also working hard to provide for their families.

Due to personal matters regarding employment, departures from the community, retirement and the dangers of COVID19, a new generation of brave civil servants is needed to maintain the peace in our town.

Volunteer work is not without its bene-

fits. Those who seek to earn respect, make long lasting memories and earn a fair amount of money on the side will be pleased to know that all of this is possible.

The two distinct, but overlapping, divisions of the FFPD consist of the Fire and EMS branches, which handle a variety of situations throughout the entire year. Anyone seeking to volunteer can join either branch, or serve in both.

Time and dedication are essential components that keep the FFPD afloat, which is why prospective members must undergo training to acquire certification to be better prepared for the inevitable.

Above all else, the Fulton Fire Protection District is there for the people, there for the community, there for every neighbor and relative when adversity strikes and we are left in isolation.

ALBANY

Albany Police Chief resigns, local force in jeopardy

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Albany’s Police Chief Wyatt Heyvaert submitted his resignation at the board meeting on June 7, leaving the village with the possibility of not having a local police force.

Heyvaert’s last day on the department will be Sunday, Aug. 15, though he’ll be using up vacation time before then. He’s been the town’s chief for 7 ½ years, and many in the gallery expressed their support for him.

Heyvaert is the only officer left on the force, as Terry Kernan retired June 1, and part-time officers Suzanne Bogart, Luke Guyton, and TJ Spencer all resigned as of June 7. Heyvaert said in his 20 years as a police officer, being the chief in a small town was the hardest job he’s had, but he will continue in the profession as a patrol officer in another community.

Whiteside County Sheriff John Booker was also at the meeting and expressed concern for the lack of police protection the village may soon face, with only one sheriff’s deputy to cover western Whiteside County. He’s worried that response time could take over half an hour for emergency calls.

Albany Fire Protection District ambulance director Brooke Posateri expressed her concerns about the department’s response to calls, as they work with the police department especially for calls of a serious nature. “Our lives are all in jeopardy now,” she said of the direction of the village.

Village President Steve Dyson called the resignation a “bombshell to us” but many in the gallery expressed their concerns about the direction of the village, with ongoing rumors, accusations, and infighting taking its toll.

There were numerous other concerns

brought before the board including suspicions that homeless people are sleeping in the old school, a water line that hasn’t been removed at a residence despite being approved in 2017, children without proper restraints riding in golf carts, trustee duties, disagreements on wages for employees, and purchasing a sound system for the village hall after a complaint to the DOJ for ADA non-compliance.

In board action, they approved spending $5,400 for 300 feet of tube replacement on 4th Ave. S., agreed to forgive a $5,000 electric bill from the youth baseball association that was budgeted and paid for by the village a few years ago, discussed signing up for a new emergency alert system to save costs, agreed to get additional bids for tree removals, and learned that the village will receive $137,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds. A continuation meeting will be held Wednesday, June 16 at 6 p.m. at the village hall.

WILD PURPOSE

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Farm Way Sanctuary, an 80-acre farmstead just a few miles outside of Morrison, is home to a robust bevy of animal rescues. Horses, pot-bellied pigs, goats, cats, dogs, and chickens are free to roam the wooded terrain and grassy hills that they now call home.

It’s a safe haven where all of life’s best possibilities are encouraged for everybody, whether four-legged or two.

The Farm Way is the dream of Nicole Fairchild and Mike Himebaugh and their 6-year-old son, Tex. They established the non-profit in 2014 and strive every day to care for the animals from all walks of life - the wounded and unwanted, the young and the old.

They grow food, work with the land, and tend to the animals 24/7, all while planning and executing fundraisers throughout the year to keep the operation running.

Maybelle is the newest addition to The Farm Way, and her story is a bit different than the others as she’s the first wild mustang to join the herd.

She was captured as a young filly during a roundup in the Green Mountains of Wyoming in 2018. She was separated from her mother, branded by the Bureau of Land Management, and adopted out through their Training Incentive Program (TIP) which provides a payment of $1000 to the adoptee, with a requirement to keep the horse for one year.

As so often happens, the year passed, and this young filly went to

A young, untrained wild horse has but one fate at auction, and she was scheduled to get on a truck bound for a meat processing plant in Canada or Mexico. But her story didn’t end there – the horse was one of the few that are rescued at the last moment from that fate, this time by an organization called The Hooved Companion Project (HCP) in Hebron, Illinois. The owners of HCP were visiting family in Colorado when they were alerted to the plight of the young filly in a ‘kill lot’ that happened to be just miles from

IN BRIEF EHS National Honor Society to host blood drive

Erie High School National Honor Society will host a community blood drive from 2 - 6 p.m. on Wednesday, June 30. The drive will be held at St. Ambrose Catholic Church Hall, 820 Fifth Ave., Erie. All presenting donors will receive a voucher for a $10 gift card.

Appointments are required.

To donate, please contact Barb Proeger at 815-2131059 or visit www.bloodcenter.org and use code 5441 to locate the drive.

Potential donors must be at least 17 years of age (16 with parental permission form available through www.bloodcenter.org) and weigh more than 110 pounds. A photo I.D. is required. For questions about eligibility, please call Impact Life at 800-7475401.

Donors who last gave blood on or before May 5, 2021 are eligible to give at this drive.

the home they were visiting.

HCP was able to get her out of Colorado and to a holding farm in Wisconsin. Michelle from the Hooved Companion Project followed her intuition and reached out to The Farm Way. As a child, Nicole - a Wisconsin native - had ridden her horses many times through the creeks and fields of the very same farm where the young filly was staying. Fate and HCP delivered the horse to The Farm Way on May 1, and she became Maybelle, the May Mustang.

Her name means ‘The Beautiful

One’ and that is the energy that she brings to the Sanctuary.

“Every horse, every piggy, every animal and person has a mission, a gift,” said Nicole. “Maybelle’s gift is inspiration, and she inspires you to live a life in truth. When you can find beauty in yourself and the world around you, you will find your truth, your purpose. In that truth is the Beautiful One.” Maybelle was easily accepted into the herd, that is now 27 strong, and she is learning to run the land with them.

The Green Mountain horses are known for being stocky and sturdy, and Maybelle embodies those physical qualities.

She’s taking her time getting used to her new environment and is sometimes startled by big winds, stemming from the trauma of the helicopter roundup.

She’s becoming a part of what Mike and Nicole call a conscious community – a place where there is no competition or chaos, and animals from all walks of life get along.

Mike, Nicole, and Tex interact with all the horses daily while still encouraging the herd to emulate the wild as much as possible, to have a freedom that the horses of the Green Mountains experience for a lifetime.

“We’re here to support what they need and envision the best possibilities for them,” added Nicole. “We’re honored to be their Sanctuary.”

The inspiring tales and adventures of the animals, plus contact information, can be found at The Farm Way on Facebook, Instagram or at www.TheFarmWay.com.

MORRISON - Anna Schroeder, who shot and killed her mother, Peggy, in their Morrison home on July 6, 2017, will be sentenced at a two-day hearing Nov. 3 and 5 in Whiteside County Court.

Anna Schroeder, who was 15 when she shot her mother between the eyes after using a ruse to get her to place a towel over her face, was to be sentenced on Nov. 4 and 6, 2020, but COVID-19 pandemic restrictions put a pause on many court cases.

Schroeder pleaded guilty Jan. 8, 2020, to second-degree murder. Two counts of first-degree murder and charges of arson and concealment of a homicidal death were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

Schroeder, who is being held at the Mary Davis Detention Home in Galena, did not appear at the status hearing.

Her presence will be required at sentencing.

Both sides said they were

Alex T. Paschal - apaschal@shawmedia.com

Nicole Leuer of Mount Carroll, Peggy Schroeder’s niece, displays a sign June 10 near the Whiteside County Courthouse in Morrison during a sentencing status hearing for Anna Schroeder, who shot and killed her mother, Peggy, nearly four years ago. ready to go forward with sentencing for second-degree murder, but scheduling issues with the availability of the defense’s expert witness and Judge Trish Senneff, who is presiding over the case, and the state’s increasingly busy docket pushed the resolution five more months ahead to November.

That infuriated Peggy Schroeder’s other daughter,

Kaylene, and family members and friends, who held signs up to passing cars during a small protest June 10 at the intersection of U.S. Route 30 and North Cherry Street, a block south of the courthouse.

Anna Schroeder, who turned 15 just three days before the murder, will turn 19 on July 3.

The protesters said it is a gross delay of justice and a

slap in the face to Peggy Schroeder’s survivors that Anna Schroeder still is at Mary Davis, which is primarily a juvenile home where she can attend classes, get counseling, watch movies and the like, as opposed to being housed in the Whiteside County Jail.

“It’s about time. She pleaded guilty to second-degree murder,” said Charlene Wilkinson, Peggy Schroeder’s sister. “They should have hauled her here [to Whiteside County Jail] right away. It’s a broken system.”

On a motion filed by Whiteside County State’s Attorney Terry Costello on April 20, Schroeder’s accused accomplice, Rachel Helm of Rock Falls, was transferred from Mary Davis to the jail, where she awaits resolution of her case.

Helm, who turned 19 on Jan. 20, is charged with arson and concealment of a homicidal death. She has a pretrial hearing July 28.

Investigators said Helm encouraged Schroeder to kill

her mother, who she said did not approve of the teens’ romantic relationship, then Helm helped Schroeder cover up the shooting by trying to clean the scene before setting the Schroeders’ house on fire.

Costello declined to say whether he would seek to have Schroeder transferred to the jail. Wilkinson said he told her he planned to file a motion to transfer soon.

Wilkinson did not approve of the plea agreement.

“They have all the evidence to lock her up for a very long time. I had no say in it at all.

He [Costello] took the easy route and accepted the plea bargain,” she posted on Facebook after the hearing.

“Then he told me her max [sentence] instead of 40 [years] is now 20. I questioned 20 was even enough,” she wrote.

“At the time, I did not know it’s a year for a year, so that’s only 10 years. Four so far spent in juvie. So if, and only if, the judge rules the max of 20, she will only serve six years in prison for murdering my sister. Broken system.”

SECTIONAL SOFTBALL

By ERIC INGLES

eingles@shawmedia.com Strong pitching was a major factor in regional championships last week for both Oregon and Riverdale.

And when the two teams met June 10 at Oregon Park West for the sectional softball crown, that pitching was on display again.

Though Oregon’s Mia Trampel was cruising much of the way in the circle, it was the Rams’ Ashlyn Hemm outdoing her, striking out 16 and throwing her fourth no-hitter of the season in a 3-0 Riverdale win.

The sectional meeting was all about Hemm, retiring the side in order in five of the seven innings.

“I think all my spins were working, but what was best was my defense behind me,” Hemm said. “They really helped on that bunt defense.”

Oregon hitters attempted to bunt their way aboard three times in the game. All three went for routine outs. The Hawks also had a popup and a grounder. The other 16 outs in the game were recorded via Hemm strikeouts, with no ball off an Oregon bat leaving the infield all evening.

While Hemm was cruising, so was Trampel, though she had much more help from her defense, inducing seven pop-ups or liners in her five innings in the circle.

Both teams had runners on in the first. Riverdale’s Lexi Duke reached on an error in the top of the inning, but a pair of pop-outs ended that threat and left her stranded at first.

In the bottom of the inning, Bella Koertner drew a one-out walk, then stole second and went to third on a passed ball. But Hemm struck out the next two Hawks to end the inning and leave Koertner stranded at third.

From there, both pitchers solidified their control. The Rams went down in order in the second and third, with only one ball leaving the infield, that a routine fly ball for Ava Hackman in center.

Hemm was in even greater control, striking out the side in the second and third and retiring the Hawks in order in the fourth and fifth, striking out four of the six batters she saw in those two innings.

Oregon (24-8) got its second baserunner of the game in the sixth,

Continued from Page 9 when Hemm was called for an illegal pitch, putting Reilee Suter on first with two outs. But a pop-up to short ended that threat.

Riverdale (18-5) broke through in the fourth when Alivia Bark and Laken Larsen hit back-to-back oneout singles, and a throwing error put runners at second and third. Reagan

Walsten followed with a sacrifice bunt to bring home Bark with the first run of the game.

Riverdale scored a second run moments later. Hemm hit a grounder to short with two outs and the throw to first was wide of the mark, but hit a Riverdale coach. The runner from third scored and the run was allowed, but Hemm was ruled out due to coach’s interference, ending the inning.

The Rams added a run in the fifth as Duke hit a single up the middle to score Sydney Haas.

Two more singles followed, loading the bases and chasing Mia Trampel from the game.

In came Lena Trampel, Mia’s twin sister, who worked her way out of the jam by striking out the first two hitters she faced and getting the third to ground out.

Lena Trampel was able to limit the

Rams to a two-out infield single in the seventh, ending the inning on a fielders choice moments later.

Riverdale was slated to play Joliet (Catholic Academy) at 4 p.m. on Monday, June 14, at Rosemont Stadium in Rosemont, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

Due to press deadlines, the results of that game and the state finals, if Riverdale wins, will be published in the June 22 edition.

BOYS TRACK & FIELD

By ERIC INGLES

eingles@shawmedia.com The Erie-Prophetstown and Morrison boys track teams will both be busy next week at the Class 1A state championships in Charleston.

The host Panthers won four events at Friday’s sectional meet, with the Mustangs winning three and putting in three other state-qualifying performances.

Sherrard wound up edging Riverdale for the team sectional title with 87 points; the Rams had 83. Erie-Prophetstown was third with 63. Morrison finished fourth with 58.

Fulton took eighth as a team with 21 points, Newman was ninth with 19, Bureau Valley was 11th with 16, West Carroll tied for 12th with 14, Amboy-LaMoille was 14th with 11, and Milledgeville-Eastland took 15th with four points.

Morrison had a 1-2 finish in the 400, with Alex Anderson taking first in 51.65 seconds and teammate Justice Brainerd right behind him.

“I was hoping to be first in the [first] 200 and hopefully just don’t see anyone,” Anderson said.

“Since I was on the outside lane of Justice, I was just hoping I didn’t see him the whole race. That usually means I get first.”

Brainerd was never far behind him, finishing in 51.70.

“All we do is just try to push ourselves each and every race we do,” Brainerd said. “Try to push each other in practices. We just try to force the best out of each other.”

Anderson is also headed to state in the 100, where he took third in a state-qualifying time of 11.30 seconds.

“It felt great,” Anderson said. “I was hoping to get first, but that didn’t happen, but I still qualified, so that’s awesome.”

The Mustangs capped off the night with a dominant 4x400 relay. Brainerd, running the first leg, built a sizable early lead and his colleagues Brady Wolf, Skylar Drolema and Anderson never let up, finishing in 3:30.16 to beat second-place Sherrard by nearly four seconds.

Morrison also has the sectional high jump champion in Drolema, who, rested and ready following a trip to Key West, cleared 6 feet, 1 inch. He tried 6-3, going up too close to the bar and knocking it off with his first and third attempts, and nicking it with his finger on the second.

“High jump, I wasn’t expecting to do that because I was on vacation, but I got one practice in before this and it went good,” Drolema said.

Wolf took second in the 300 hurdles in 43.40 seconds.

Erie-Prophetstown has a pole vault champion in Parker Holdorf, who cleared 3.90 meters. Teammate Lucas Dreisbach cleared 3.1 meters to take third, but missed out on a spot at state.

The Panthers also have a long jump champion in Braxton Froeliger, who went 6.18 meters.

“I was making sure I was on my board,” Froeliger said. “Coach was helping me. My first jump was a little behind, so he had me move up. I just really built up my speed on that last jump, which was my best jump, and I was able to edge out second place.”

Froeliger then teamed up with Michael Carlson, Cameron Stout and Alex Gustaf to win the 4x100 in dominating fashion, finishing in 44.72. Riverdale took second in 45.17.

“It was great. We got all our handoffs pretty good,” Gustaf said. “We came out with a season PR, and now we’re going to state.

“Just run your own race. We all ran our own race. We all stayed relaxed, stayed smooth, and we got the job done.”

Fulton was disqualified from the 4x100 on a false start, but rebounded with a strong 4x200.

Erie-Prophetstown had gotten off to a good start and seemed to be repeating its wide victory from the 4x100, but Fulton’s Josh Vanderploeg was able to close much of the gap with the anchor leg. He, Carson Wherry, Daken Pessman and Kyler Pessman took second in 1:34.22.

“It felt good,” Vanderploeg said. “We kind of got off to a slow start. I wasn’t really worried because I knew we’d come back because our third and fourth legs are really good.”

Erie-Prophetstown’s 4x200 relay of Froeliger, Stout, Gustaf and Ben Lantz won in 1:33.83. The Panthers nearly had a third relay through to state, but Carlson, Stout, Lantz and Gustaf took third in the 4x400, finishing 0.65 seconds behind Sherrard.

Vanderploeg also is through to state with a second-place run in the 200.

Morrison suffers loss in regional semifinal against Newman

By CODY CUTTER

ccutter@saukvalley.com

Both the Newman Comets and Morrison Mustangs ended the final stretch of the regular season not playing how they would have liked, but both looked to come away victorious in the Class 1A regional semifinal June 4.

Newman, which had lost five of six coming into the game, put an end to Morrison’s season with a 6-1 win behind strong pitching and a big second inning at the plate.

Comets pitchers Elias Henkel and Kyle Wolfe combined to strike out nine and allow only three hits. Henkel, a lefty, went four innings and allowed one hit and one unearned run.

Wolfe relieved him for the final three frames and struck out seven to deny the Mustangs any chance for a late rally.

Wolfe struck out the side in the fifth and seventh innings.

Newman’s Brendan Tunink led off the second inning against the Mustangs’ Nate Helms with a towering shot that was just inches away from a home run in right-center field. It hit the yellow lining on top of the fence, and Tunink came away

Alex T. Paschal - apaschal@shawmedia.com

Morrison’s Ashton Smith fires a throw to first for an out against Newman on June 4. with a double. Tunink was driven home on an RBI single from Brennan Cook. Two batters later, Kory Mullen brought in Cook. Helms walked the next

two batters to load the bases for Ethan Van Landuit, who hit a sacrifice fly to send home Mullen for a 3-0 lead.

Mullen made a crucial catch

in center field to end the first inning for Newman (13-8). The Mustangs (1-15) had the bases loaded for TC Ottens, who ripped a line drive toward

right-center that Mullen snared with a diving catch to quell the threat.

Tunink and Cook led off the third with singles. Tunink came around to score when Grant Koerner’s sacrifice bunt was misplayed. Cook came home on a wild pitch. Wolfe drove in Koerner for the Comets’ final run.

Morrison’s lone run came on a sacrifice fly from Ashton Smith. He drove home Danny Mouw, who had walked and advanced a base on an error.

The Mustangs finished the regular season winless in 14 games, but opened the postseason June 2 with an 8-3 regional quarterfinal win over Hiawatha in Kirkland.

“I’m very proud of our team,” Morrison coach Josh Robbins said. “Over the course of the regular season, we were 0-14. We came back and won the first game of the playoffs, and we battled here. We battled hard and these guys really showed what they’re made of.

“Newman was the better team today, and I congratulate them on their game and wish them good luck. We’re going to try to rebuild and come back next year and be strong.”

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD

Jordan Gallentine breaks school record in 400 at state finals CHARLESTON – Morrison’s Jordan Gallentine had a race to remember in the 400 meters at the Class 1A state track and field finals June 10.

Gallentine turned in a time of 59.12 seconds. It was good for fourth place, and broke the school record of 59.38 set

by Jenny Schaefer in 1995.

“Running against these fast girls definitely helped me, especially at the end, to have girls in front of me to chase down,” Gallentine said. “That helped a lot.”

Gallentine also competed in the 100 and 200 dashes. Her time of 12.75 seconds in the 100 put her in 10th place, one spot out of a medal.

Gallentine was the first Filly to qualify in three sprints at state since Schaefer in 1995.

Fulton placed eighth in the 4x200 relay after winning its heat. The foursome of Abbigail Thyne, Grace Dykstra, Mikayla Gazo and Lara Bielema was clocked in 1:50.44 in the finals.

Erie-Prophetstown’s Riley Packer took 12th in the 800 in 2:27.35.

FULTON BASEBALL

By BRIAN WEIDMAN

bweidman@shawmedia.com Newman baseball coach Kenny Koerner had the same message for his team before it took their hacks: “Don’t sit on one. Let’s go.”

The Comets tacked on a pair of late insurance runs in the Class 1A regional championship game June 7 against Fulton, and they were needed. Newman held on for a 3-2 victory, its second consecutive regional title. It was the Comets’ second one-run victory against the Steamers this season, the first being an 11-10 decision on April 30.

“Hats off to Fulton. I thought their defense was outstanding today,” Koerner said. “I thought we hit a bunch of balls that during the regular season were falling in for us. We preach all year throw strikes and make plays and you’ll be in every game.”

The Comets scratched out a run in the bottom of the second inning. Brennan Cook and Grant Koerner had twoout singles, and Kory Mullen walked to load the bases. Kyle Wolfe then hit a slow roller to Fulton shortstop Jacob Jones and beat the throw as Cook scored.

Newman added two runs in the fifth with some help from the Steamers.

Newman’s Grant Koerner (left) catches the ball to force out Fulton’s Connor Barnett.

Fulton starter Connor Barnett struck out Ethan VanLanduit, but the ball got past catcher Brock Maso n for a dropped third strike. Courtesy runner Trenton Hicks moved up a base when Nolan Britt was hit by a pitch, and Brendan Tunink singled to load the

bases with one out.

Cook went down swinging for the inning’s second out. Koerner then hit a sharp grounder to third baseman Ethan Price, whose throw to second base was low. Kannon Wynkoop was unable to come up with the throw as

Hicks scored the game’s second run.

Britt later scored on a wild pitch to increase the lead to 3-0.

On the mound, Newman left-hander Blake Wolfe, a senior, was handling things for his side. Through six shutout innings, he allowed just a pair of singles and one walk and had seven strikeouts.

The Steamers weren’t sunk yet, however.

Mason singled with one out, and Davis Ludin came to the plate. Ludin had struck out looking and swinging in his first two plate appearances, but that was about to change. The lefty turned on a Wolfe fastball and deposited it over the fence in right field for a two-run homer, his first homer of the season.

Wolfe regrouped, however, and retired Price and Ryan Eads on fly balls to end the game.

Barnett (3-3) also went the distance for Fulton. In six innings, he allowed three runs (one earned), seven hits, two walks and hit one batter. Barnett had three strikeouts.

“I told them at the beginning of the game we were going to have to fight for a solid seven innings,” Fulton coach Brent Dykstra said. “There was no doubt going into that seventh inning we were not going to be done fighting.”

CHURCH BRIEFS Take dad to church on Father’s Day

The Morrison United Methodist Church invites dads to church. Instead of taking dad out to the ballgame, take him to church to enjoy Father’s Day with both his family and church family.

If dad cannot accompany you to church, bring his photo and place it up front in the “box seats” for a great view of worship. Bring his bat, glove, ball or any other athletic equipment that reminds you of your dad. A version of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” will be sung, but with new lyrics.

The worship service begins at 9 a.m.

You are invited to join us on Father’s Day!

Pastor Luke Schouten will begin a new message series, “More Obscure Bible Characters,” with his message “Josiah.”

The Sanctuary Choir will sing “Alpha & Omega!” for the anthem. Exaltation will lead the worship set. Rich Criss will be the organist for the service, providing the prelude and postlude and accompanying the hymns. Coffee and fellowship will follow in the Fireside Room after worship.

The service will continue to be live-

streamed for those unable to be present in the sanctuary.

More information is available on the church’s website, www.emmanuelreformedchurch.org, or by calling the church office at 815-772-3890.
