FULTON

Remembering Dutch Days founder Patty Ritzema

of filmmakers spent 2 ½ hours at the Ritzema home as Patty prepared and served a Dutch meal, all while sharing a bit of her history. At one point a potholder caught fire on the stove, with Patty quickly throwing it into the sink, unfazed.

The show ended up not airing, so Barb called the director and was able to get eight minutes of footage on a DVD mailed to her. “We put a lot of time and effort into it, but it was a memorable and fun evening,” Barb said, as she treasures the moments captured on film, because it captured authentic Patty.

Born Pieterke Land on July 7, 1921 in Aduard, Groningen, the Netherlands, Patty was the oldest of seven children. During WWII, she met Bert Ritzema while working as a hospital cook in Groningen. They were married October 18, 1945 and had four children before emigrating to the United States in June 1954.

They settled in Fulton, where Bert’s brother lived, and welcomed two more sons.

The couple operated the TastyMates Drive-In in Fulton from 19641974. It was a family-owned business where their children worked along-

side them. Patty also worked as a dietary supervisor and cook at area nursing homes, as well as Unity Christian School.

She was dedicated to her faith and steadfast in her love for the Lord.

She was an active member of Bethel Christian Reformed Church and was the Bible Leader of Lydia Society for over 25 years. She served as President of the Christian School Auxiliary and was instrumental in the purchase and planning of Bargain Bonanza in Clinton. She was also President of the Wa-Tan-Ya Club, and a board member of Love, Inc. “Mom was super involved in the community since we emigrated in 1954. She was involved with family, extended family, business opportunities, and the church. When looking at her obituary, I was amazed with all she was involved with. She just did it effortlessly; she had her hands in many pies, quite literally,” said her son Jake, who was not quite 2 when the family emigrated to America.

For Patty, it was important to remember her family’s Dutch heritage. As Jake recalled, the decision to come to America was hardest on

his mom’s family during post-war Europe. “We were in America, and we needed to speak English at home, which we did. But we kept connections with aunts, uncles and cousins in the Netherlands.”

There were a lot of letters back and forth.

Bert and Patty went back to their homeland three times, and Patty returned once more during her golden years, accompanied by her daughter. She was able to enjoy a lifelong connection with her Dutch family, with her parents coming in by boat for a 3-month stay in the 1960s, plus subsequent visits from aunts and uncles. Even though she was so far away from her siblings, Patty was still considered the matriarch of the family once her parents passed away.

“Mom always had a super love for her native country, and her adopted country. They certainly left the Netherlands, but the Netherlands never left their hearts,” Jake said.

He recently received a vintage photograph in the mail of his proud parents after becoming citizens in 1960.

“She had a phenomenal love for country, community, and church – her relationship with the Lord was really special. Becoming an elder at Bethel Church at the age of 87 speaks volumes,” he said of her faith.

Jake said his mom started Dutch Days over food, because she wanted to share that heritage with others.

He credits Barb with helping the festival grow and expand from its humble beginnings. The Ritzema family will always be proud of her vision and work to bridge the cultures.

“It was always fun at Dutch Days to see mom give her bear hugs to friends and strangers. She established so many wonderful relationships with people. She was known for her hospitality, and she treated everyone the same, with a lot of love and respect – it was a good example for us kids growing up,” Jake reflected.

Patty’s legacy will live on through the festival, and through the love, energy and devotion she bestowed upon others in her circle, which is really worldwide.

Sept. 26 with a shotgun start at noon.

The fundraiser for the club will help with this year’s business impact from the COVID restrictions.

Registration will open at 11 a.m. on the day of the event. Cost is $40

per person or $160 per team. Big cup means 8-inch cups for the golfballs.

The cost of entry includes golf and lunch, though cart rental is extra.

There will be hole and raffle prizes plus other games, and drinks on the

deck after golf, where prizes will be awarded.

Dinner will be available at 5:30 p.m., and Joe Roman will provide musical entertainment at 6 p.m. which will be open to the public.

BY SARAH FORD Shaw Media Patricia “Patty” Ritzema was a woman who opened her home, her arms, and herself to anyone who needed a meal, a shoulder to cry on, or a cup of tea and a prayer. She passed away peacefully on August 26, 2020, at the age of 99. A longtime Fulton resident, she spent her later years in Le Mars, IA living near her only daughter, Trudy.

As the founder of the annual Dutch Days festival, Patty made her mark in Fulton, helping put the river community on the map. Her idea started in May 1973 as a Dutch dinner at Unity Christian School, and it has since grown to showcase the area’s Dutch heritage and their treasured traditions and cuisine.

There’s a different theme every year, with a parade, 5K run/walk, films and art displays, a fashion show, and many other activities that bring in various Fulton organizations and businesses, plus thousands of visitors. The popular weekend festival is held every spring, though this year’s 46th annual event was cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Barbara Mask, Dutch Days Festival chairman, Fulton alderman, and a longtime friend, recalled Patty as “a delightful person to know in every way.” She credits Patty with instilling a sense of Dutch pride in the community while bringing attention to the Dutch culture.

“She was a delight to work with - she hummed a lot, sang a lot, and was an all-around interesting person. She was a real asset to our community.”

Barb, a first-generation daughter of Dutch immigrants, said she knew some Netherland’s traditions, but it was Patty who helped her, and many others, “be more aware of our Dutch culture. She made us proud of it in a way that we couldn’t verbalize. I’m so grateful she brought that attention to it and made it all work and inspired so many of us.”

She also shared a story from nearly a decade ago, when Whole Foods was working on a TV show featuring different foods and cultures. A team

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Dozens of historic deadly wildfires continue to consume millions of acres in the west, especially in California, Oregon and Washington where in some cases entire towns have been destroyed and tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes.

Red Cross volunteer David Boyles, of Morrison, is one of four volunteers who departed in a Red Cross emergency response vehicle to assist those impacted by wildfires in Oregon.

Boyles picked up the emergency response vehicle from the Red Cross office in Rockford, and he and fellow volunteer Bill Elenitsky left for Portland on Sept. 13.

He recently returned from a twoweek deployment from Louisiana, where he assisted with Red Cross relief efforts after the widespread devastation brought by Hurricane Laura.

He is joining 52 volunteers from the Illinois region who are currently deployed in Texas, Louisiana and Oregon. More than 2,000 Red Cross volunteers are assisting communities impacted by disasters across the country.

These emergency response vehicles will aid in disaster relief to mobilize supplies such as food, water and snacks, clean-up kits, and other items once they arrive in Portland.

YOUR HEALTH

Grandma’s medicine cabinet - unprescribing

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. The following is a list of the top 12 medicines the specialists looked at for consideration of removal for older people in particular.

1) Benzodiazepines. This includes old-fashioned Valium as well as Xanax and Ativan and even sleeping pills like Ambien. The problem with these medicines besides dependency is falls and confusion.

2) Antipsychotics. Well these medicines were originally developed for schizophrenia and bipolar. They do have a common usage for help sleep and anxiety. Seroquel and Risperidone are two common agents. These and some others in the class may be associated with falls and even stroke like events.

3) Statins for cholesterol. We must keep in mind that nature put cholesterol in every cell in our body. For those without a clear cause such as having had a stroke or heart attack these medicines may be more harmful than beneficial. This includes not only the muscle aches but even things like dementia and even some cancers.

4) Tricyclic antidepressants and serotonin agents for depression. The

first group of agents is often used for other conditions beside mood disorders including pain such as shingles pain and diabetic pain. Regardless of the usage though, there may be some increased risk. Checking for stability of conditions to go off of these if possible is a healthy idea.

Alternatively looking at other agents may be helpful for the causes.

5) Proton pump inhibitor such as Prilosec or Omeprazole, and others. Decreasing acid over time may lead to decrease vitamin absorption that contributes to bone loss as well as dementia and kidney problems.

Even pneumonia may be more likely. These can also disrupt the gut lining and have a person be more likely to get C-difficile colitis if taking antibiotics.

6) Certain urinary agents for urgency. Because of the receptors involved there may be a contribution to dementia with many of these agents.

7) Drugs for Alzheimer’s. These include medicines related to Aricept and others. While there may not be a whole lot of side effects over time these agents may not be doing what we wish them to do.

8) Opioid pain medicine. As much

problem as this can be for any age, it is an increased problem for the older population.

9) Bisphosphonates. This is a category of medicine used for bone preservation. Many people feel the use of these agents should be limited to about five years.

10) Anticonvulsants. These are agents used for seizures and other conditions including pain. They can often be reduced safely under direction.

11) Beta blockers. These medicines are used for many heart conditions and sometimes blood pressure.

Older people may be more susceptible to the side effects including confusion.

12) Aspirin and other antiplatelet agents like Plavix. Recent studies show that aspirin does not have the protective advantage for many people who have not had a stroke or heart attack. Meanwhile some agents like Plavix have a benefit but only for a limited time.

Do not stop any of these agents on your own. However, do consider discussing these agents with your doctor to see what your appropriate treatment plan might be.

COVID-19

24 Illinois counties at warning level for COVID-19 The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) reported 24 counties in Illinois are considered to be at a warning level for novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). A county enters a warning level when two or more COVID-19 risk indicators that measure the amount of COVID-19 increase.

Twenty-four counties are currently reported at a warning level – Bond, Bureau, Cass, Clinton, Coles, Crawford, Cumberland, DeWitt, Edwards,

LET US KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR HOMETOWN!

Email: wnsnews@shawmedia.com

Effingham, Greene, Jasper, Jo Daviess, Lawrence, Madison, Marion, Rock Island, St. Clair, Shelby, Washington, Wayne, Williamson, Wabash, and Union.

Although the reasons for counties reaching a warning level varies, some of the common factors for an increase in cases and outbreaks are associated with university and college parties as well as college sports teams, large gatherings and events, bars and clubs, weddings and funerals, long-term care facilities, correctional centers, manufacturing plants, schools, and cases among the community at large. General transmis-

sion of the virus in the community is also increasing.

Public health officials are observing people not social distancing, gathering in large groups, and not using face coverings. Some communities lack access to convenient testing before people become symptomatic. In some counties, local law enforcement and states’ attorneys are not enforcing important mitigation measures like social distancing and the wearing of face coverings.

Additionally, some people refuse to participate in contact tracing and are not providing information on close contacts

or answering the phone.

Several counties are taking swift action and implementing mitigation measures to help slow spread of the virus, including increasing testing opportunities, stressing the importance of testing to providers, hiring additional contact tracers, working with schools, meeting with local leaders, and educating businesses and large venues about the importance of mitigation measures.

A map and information of each county’s status can be found on the IDPH website at https://www.dph.illinois. gov/countymetrics.

SCHOOL NEWS

Schools adjusting to educating during COVID-19

By Sarah Ford For Shaw Media

School has been back in session for nearly a month for most local districts, and students and faculty are adjusting to the changes as COVID-19 restrictions prohibit a return to normalcy.

With hybrid models in effect, parents had to make the choice whether to send their kids back to the classroom, keep them home and connected through online learning, choose a hybrid model, or pursue 100% homeschooling.

Despite all the changes and challenges for Illinois schools, area officials are optimistic for the school year, while noting the challenges the 2020-2021 school year brings.

If there is a possible exposure, that may mean quarantine for those possibly exposed, based on Illinois Dept. of Public Health guidelines.

Some middle and high school sports have been allowed to resume such as golf and cross country.

As of now, high school fall football will not be allowed, with Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker making that final call.

Riverbend

Darryl Hogue, Riverbend Schools Superintendent in Fulton, said the school has been is session since Aug. 19. Pre-K thru 8th grade is hybrid model, with half the students coming in every other day.

Monday is a remote learning day for all. The high school has been totally remote since the start of the fall year, with Hogue projecting a return to the hybrid model on Sept.

22 based on the number of community cases.

Hogue noted that Fulton had a spike in numbers in July and August, which impacted the start of in-person learning at the high school due to the possibility of kids contracting and spreading the virus.

“We saw an inordinate amount com-

pared to other districts,” he noted.

So far, there have been no active cases with Pre-k – 8th graders.

The administrative team considered and made recommendations to start remotely, which the board approved, based on Whiteside County Health Dept. data. At one point, Fulton – with 10% of the Whiteside County population - had 25 percent of cases, which impacted the start of the school year.

Administrators wanted to “be wise and be more cautious, and keep our kids in smaller groups,” Hogue noted. The doors have been open at the high school from 8-10:30 a.m. during the school week so students can get support from the teachers, with 30-60 high school students in the building each day.

Due to three cases of COVID involving school staff in mid-August, Riverdale School District in Port Byron delayed the start of classes unto Sept. 8. Parents could choose all remote learning or a hybrid model, with smaller class sizes, social distancing, and mask-wearing in effect.

“It’s been almost 200 days since our students attended class in person. Our families, teachers and students have definitely been looking forward to getting back into the classroom,” said Josh Temple, Superintendent. “The preparation on the part of the faculty, staff and administrators has been amazing.

We developed a detailed plan based on the guidelines that were handed down to us.”

Temple said the guidelines in place were changed or amended several times from the initial printing, which made the task of planning for the start of the year very difficult due to all the uncertainty.

“I described it to our staff by using the old saying ‘we’re building the plane in the air and then being told that instead of a plane you have to build a train and we’re not telling

you where it’s going,” he said.

Despite all those challenges and a delayed start, Temple said he couldn’t be more impressed with how the first two weeks went.

“The students are following through with the additional expectations at all levels, and the faculty has remained flexible. Many of our teachers have learned new strategies for instruction, and our families have been supportive and patient throughout. We hope to remain in person for as long as possible and eventually return to a more traditional learning experience. Until then we will do our best to give our students what they need and make the most of every day that we have in class,” he said.

Prophetstown

Justin Hovey, Principal at Prophetstown Elementary School, shared his observations of the first few weeks back in session.

“The transition back to school has been smoother than originally anticipated. It has been a team effort across the board. Everyone has played a pivotal role in our positive start to the school year. Even with the challenges ahead, I am excited for another great school year!”

Hovey said he’s been very proud of the staff for putting in so much time and energy in order to prepare for the school year.

“We have experienced many obstacles the first few weeks, but they have risen to the challenge,” he said. “The staff is putting in many long days in order to prepare quality education for the kids. I am beyond proud to work with such a devoted team. They make my heart smile!”

PLT students and parents were also commended for stepping up to the challenges of schooling in the time of COVID. “They have been troopers over the course of the first few weeks.

It has been great seeing their smiling faces. We have welcomed them back with open arms and look to

continue to grow moving forward,” he said. “Parents have been exceptional in their own right. There have been obstacles along the way but we want to continue to work with families during this unprecedented time to make things run smoother. Keep up the great work!”

Morrison

Scott Vance, Superintendent of the Morrison School District, said “overall” officials sre happy with the ways things are going, with just a limited number of confirmed cases.

“We are obviously being extremely careful and taking all the precautions we can in order to keep our students and staff as safe as possible,” he said.

In a letter to parents on Sept. 8, the district confirmed a positive case of COVID-19 at Northside Elementary, but determined there was no risk to students or faculty. All affected areas of the building were cleaned and disinfected in accordance with recommendations by the CDC and IDHP. “It’s important that we continue to work together and support out students,” Vance wrote.

Erie

The Erie School District has been operating with enhanced safety measures in place, with staff greeting students each day with digital non-contact thermometers.

Meals are individually bagged, masks and social distancing are enforced, and parents of kids who ride the bus must self-certify daily that their children don’t have a fever higher than 100.4 degrees.

Wednesday is a remote learning day for all students, and the buildings are thoroughly cleaned.

After the first quarter, school officials will consider whether to implement full day, five days per week of in-person instruction for all students not participating in full remote learning.

GUIDE

BOYS GOLF

BY ERIC INGLES eingles@saukvalley.com St. Bede got a 37 from Nathan Potthoff and matching 39s from Trenton Auclin and Brendon Pillion to beat Fulton by six strokes on Thursday at Deer Valley in a Three Rivers Conference boys golf triangular. Morrison shot a 196.

Potthoff and Fulton’s Josh VanderPloeg tied for medalist honors.

VanderPloeg, starting his round on No. 4, opened his day with threeputts on two of his first three holes, but got things together after that.

“I just made some really good recoveries,” he said. “I kind of got lost a couple times, but then I was able to find the green and save myself there.

Players played No. 17 and No. 18 on Thursday in place of Nos. 8 and 9, and on the 17th VanderPloeg birdied the par-4.

“I pulled my driver left, so I was up on the hill in the rough,” he said.

“I was just trying to play passive and wasn’t trying to attack it with my wedge. I had 108 yards in and stuck it to three feet and just made the putt.”

Potthoff also struggled some early

in the round. He started his round with a par on hole No. 5, but had a five-footer for birdie that he missed.

He followed that soon after with a bogey.

“I was just in trouble. I couldn’t get a swing down,” he said. “On the 17th, I made good consecutive shots, and then No. 18 I birdied. That really helped me go through.”

He made another long birdie putt on the par-five third later in his round.

Fulton also got a 41 from Patrick Wiebenga, a 45 from Ian Wiebenga and a 42 from Kyle Meinema.

Landen Myers (47) and Aiden Daley (52) also played.

Patrick Wiebenga’s day started with a pair of bogeys on Nos. 5 and 6 before starting to turn things around.

“I was just focused on keeping the ball in play,” he said. “I missed two short putts the first two holes, which was really disappointing, then I hit one into the lateral [hazard] on my third hole. I put it on the green and two-putted, but that was a good bounce-back.”

IN BRIEF Panther Yearbook needs assistance There is an expression, “it takes a village,” which definitely applies to the annual yearbook. The 2020-21 school year is like no other, and needs to be remembered through a variety of photos. But Erie High School staff can’t do it all, so they need help capturing this unique year.

They’re looking for a variety of photos of Erie High School students learning in their home environment, perhaps working on a job, participating in one of the sporting events, or hanging out with

friends and families. They’re asking parents to snap a picture of their child and send it to YearbookSnap mobile app for consideration in the yearbook. Pictures can also be sent to bproeger@ecusd. info.

Staff are also hoping that students received the information and will submit pictures - just download the Yearbook Snap app, use the access code Panthers, then go to yearbookforever.com and use the code Panthers to submit on Community Upload.

Thank you everyone for your help and continued support as we reflect in years to come about EHS 2020!

As required by 35 ILCS 200/9-210 and 35 ILCS 200/10115, the following equalization factors have been applied to bring the assessments to the statutorily required three-year median level of 33.33%: Residential: 1.0218 Commercial: 1.0000 Industrial: 1.0000 Farm Home & Site: 1.0218 Questions about these valuations should be directed to: Kathy Hogue, Township Assessor Morrison, IL 61270 (815)499-7062 Office Hours are: By Appointment Only Pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/10-115, the Farm land assessments for the 2020 assessment year will increase by 10% of the preceding year’s median cropped soil productivity index as certified by the Illinois Department of Revenue with data provided by the Farmland Assessment Technical Advisory Board resulting in a $32.01 per acre increase for each soil productivity index.

Property in this Township, other than farmland and coal, is to be assessed at a 33.33% median level of assessment, based on the fair cash value of the property. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. You may appeal your assessment to the Board of Review.

If you believe your property’s fair cash value is incorrect or that the equalized assessed valuation is not uniform with other comparable properties in the same neighborhood, the following steps should be taken: 1. Contact your Township assessor’s office to review the assessment.

2. If not satisfied with the assessor review, taxpayers may file a complaint with the Whiteside County Board of Review. For complaint forms, instructions, and the Rules and Procedures of the Board of Review, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org for more information.

3. The final filing deadline for your Township District is generally 30 days from this publication date. After this date the Board of Review is prohibited by law from accepting assessment complaints for properties in this Township. For more information on complaint deadlines, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org.

Your property may be eligible for homestead exemptions, which can reduce your property’s taxable assessment. For more information on homestead exemptions, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org.

Required level of assessment (35 ILCS 200/9-145): 33.33% Median level of assessments for the Township: 31.94% Valuation based on sales from (35 ILCS 200/1-155): 2017, 2018, 2019 Publication was hereby made for equalized assessed valuations for real property in this Township District in accordance with 35 ILCS 200/12-10.

As required by 35 ILCS 200/9-210 and 35 ILCS 200/10-115, the following equalization factors have been applied to bring the assessments to the statutorily required three-year median level of 33.33%: Residential: 1.0214 Commercial: 1.0000 Industrial: 1.0000 Farm Home & Site: 1.0263

Questions about these valuations should be directed to: Melody VonHolten, Township Assessor Erie, IL 61250 (815)441-5278 Office Hours are: By Appointment Only Pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/10-115, the Farm land assessments for the 2020 assessment year will increase by 10% of the preceding year’s median cropped soil productivity index as certified by the Illinois Department of Revenue with data provided by the Farmland Assessment Technical Advisory Board resulting in a $32.01 per acre increase for each soil productivity index.

Property in this Township, other than farmland and coal, is to be assessed at a 33.33% median level of assessment, based on the fair cash value of the property. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. You may appeal your assessment to the Board of Review.

If you believe your property’s fair cash value is incorrect or that the equalized assessed valuation is not uniform with other comparable properties in the same neighborhood, the following steps should be taken: 1. Contact your Township assessor’s office to review the assessment.

2. If not satisfied with the assessor review, taxpayers may file a complaint with the Whiteside County Board of Review. For complaint forms, instructions, and the Rules and Procedures of the Board of Review, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org for more information.

3. The final filing deadline for your Township District is generally 30 days from this publication date. After this date the Board of Review is prohibited by law from accepting assessment complaints for properties in this Township.

For more information on complaint deadlines, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org.

Your property may be eligible for homestead exemptions, which can reduce your property’s taxable assessment. For more information on homestead exemptions, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org.

Your property tax bill will be calculated as follows: Final Equalized Assessed Value — Exemptions=Taxable Assessment Taxable Assessment X Current Tax Rate= Total Tax Bill All equalized assessed valuations are subject to further equalization and revision by the Whiteside County Board of Review as well as equalization by the Illinois Department of Revenue.

• BOYS GOLF Continued from Page 13 The Mustangs were led by Beau Brackemeyer, who shot a 43. He opened his round with a seven on the par-5 third, but finished in style with a birdie on the 165-yard par-3 second.

“I hit it into the no-mow with a 9-iron, and it was kind of hard to come back to, and I was thinking, ‘This is going to be an interesting chip right here,’ “ he said. “People I was playing with were saying, ‘If anyone can pull this off, it’s going to be you,’ and I just tried my best and chipping from the no-mow, from 50, 60 feet out, I ended up chipping it in.

It was a great way to end the day.”

I was the same hole Fulton’s Ian Wiebenga birdied a few minutes earlier.

“I hit an 8-iron off the tee, 160 into the wind,” he said. “I put it within 10 feet and just made the putt.”

Morrison also got a 44 from Isaac Melton, a 54 from Danny Mouw and a 55 from Mason Dykstra. Nate Helms (59) and David Stralow (65) also competed.

St. Bede’s other score were 39s

by Brenden Pillion and Trenton Acuncious, 44s from Jake Delaney Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com and Owen Espel, and a 46 by Logan Morrison’s Nathan Helms watches his putt on hole 18 at Deer Valley Humpage.

FULTON HIGH SCHOOL

For the B.L.I.N.D. program at Fulton High School, 2020 has brought new challenges but a continued focus on building lasting impressions that never die.

Every summer, junior and senior leaders attend a three day retreat to become better equipped in the areas of asset building, developing relationships, and suicide awareness.

This year changed the tune and left leaders with a four hour retreat instead. However, Fulton missed the retreat due to rises of COVID cases in the area. Because of this, leaders were taken through a 90 minute training with a focus on mentorship, assets, relationships, and an emphasis on personal care both mentally and physically. The message was to take care of oneself to be strong enough to take care of others.

The leaders were given the challenge to meet with their small groups of freshmen for two minutes every week for 10 weeks. They have been presented with a task during a pandemic that is more challenging than years past, but they have not backed down. They have actually stepped up to the challenge and have

been communicating more with the freshmen.

It is difficult with social distancing and not being back in school, but hopefully with the schools change to a hybrid plan, everyone can start putting faces to names from an e-mail, a messenger message, or a snapchat.

The leaders at Fulton High School are part of a powerful leadership program in our county working with Rock Falls, Newman, Morrison and Prophetstown. Although the program continues to look different at all of the schools, they continue to work for the betterment of their districts and communities.

Fulton would like to give a special thanks to the Wal-Mart Distribution Center and Wal-Mart in Clinton for their support of the program. They would also like to thank the D.S. Flikkema Foundation for their generous donation.

The students are anxious to be back to some normalcy and look forward to working with the freshmen and school districts in our area.

Please watch for weekly interviews from the leaders at FHS.

Submitted

The B.L.I.N.D. program at FHS has stepped up to the many new challenges of 2020. The leaders continue to focus on building lasting impressions that never die.

AETA FARM SHOW

Yielding a harvest at the Working Farm Show

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The 59th annual Working Farm Show was held over the weekend at the Antique Tractor & Engine Association grounds in rural Geneseo.

All brands of tractors were featured this year for the show, which draws in hundreds of farmers and spectators to the 50-acre grounds.

Changes were implemented due to COVID-19, with no kids’ zone, entertainment tent, daily parade, and parking lot shuttles. Social distancing reminders and hand washing stations were set up around the grounds. However, organizers said turnout was better than expected, with beautiful weekend weather and an opportunity to get out of the house and see farmers in action.

Local and regional farmers brought out their vintage equipment for harvesting the fields. They worked their plows, combines and tractors, using the vintage equipment for picking, shelling and grinding corn. Demonstrations such as sorghum pressing, blacksmithing, rug loom weaving, potato harvesting, and sawmilling gave

various glimpses into the old tools of the trade.A flea market, train rides, food and craft vendors, and farm animals made for a great way to spend the day.

Farmer Darin Weber brought his equipment from Pontiac, IL, noting that his 1940s tractor had never left the homestead. Typically he’d be home and harvesting his fields but it worked out to leave it all for a weekend at the working farm show.

He was joined by his son Riley and friend Randy Bounds and his son Connor in the fields.

The farmers talked about modernized equipment and how their teenage sons know how to use it, but they’ve never seen the older machines in action. “There’s lots of old tractors and equipment, and we like seeing them in action,” said Randy.

“The sound and the smell of the fall harvest remains the same,” Darin said. “It’s cool to see it and get to do it again.” The farmers last used the “older” equipment in 1989, back when farm work was more labor intensive, compared to today’s modern equipment.

The 60th annual show will be

held at the grounds Sept. 17-19, 2021. Minneapolis-Moline Modern Machinery will be the featured

tractor.Visit www.ae-ta.com for more information about the organization.

MODERN FARMING

Drones in agriculture The farmers of yesteryear might not be too familiar with their surroundings if they were to visit a modern farm. While the men and women who made their livings as farmers decades ago would no doubt still recognize certain farm features that have withstood the test of time, they might not understand the inner workings of the modern farm, particularly in regard to the role technology now plays within the agricultural sector.

The methods farmers employ to produce food and improve the efficiency of their operations has changed as technology has evolved.

One of the more noticeable changes that’s hard to miss on modern farms is the use of agricultural drones.

Drones have been around for decades. Drones can be utilized in ways that can save farmers money and protect the planet. · Monitor crops: According to senseFly, the commercial drone subsidiary of Parrot Group, drones can help farmers effectively monitor their crops. With a drone flying overhead, farmers can spot and quickly identify issues affecting their crops before those issues escalate into something larger.

· Soil analysis: Another potential benefit of agricultural drones highlights their role in analyzing soil.

Agricultural drones utilize complex mapping functions to gather data about the soil, including areas where it might be stressed. That enables farmers to develop accurate soil samples that can be used to guide decisions in regard to irrigation and fertilization. · Reduce waste: SenseFly notes that data gathered by drones can help farmers determine the vigor of their crops at various stages of growth. Such information can prevent overfertilization and overwatering, thereby reducing waste and runoff, benefitting the planet as a result. · Planning: Drones can be used to collect data on crop growth and health at various times throughout the growing season. That can help farmers develop accurate predictions regarding harvest quality and crop yield, making it easier for them to plan ahead.

Agricultural drones are one of the many examples that illustrate how technology has changed and will continue to change the ways modern farmers conduct business.

Drones can be used by farmers in ways that can save money and protect the planet.

CHALLENGING TIMES

USDA Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue was just one featured guest on the first day of the virtual Farm Progress Show in Iowa. During his interview with Max Armstrong, he shared a message of positivity and strength in the face of challenging times in agriculture.

“People have different perspectives about farmers and farming,” explained Perdue. “But I tell people they are the most adaptable technology people. They’re innovators, they’re inventors, they’re creators. That’s what’s been responsible for this miracle of agriculture production for the last 90 years.”

In these challenging times, Perdue encourages everyone in agriculture to continue to reach out to their elected officials.

“These are very challenging times. We want to encourage our state legislators across the country because agriculture is still the largest industry in many, many states.”

The recent derecho storm that caused widespread damage to Iowa agriculture and affected areas of Illinois was also acknowledged.

“You know you got corn out there just waiting to be harvested and you see it lying flat on the ground. You can’t really describe that kind of emotion. But the fact is farmers are so resilient. It’s not just something we talk about. They keep getting up. Whether it’s weather or pests or disaster or floods last year. They just keep on keeping on.”

Through yet another challenging year in agri-

culture, Perdue doesn’t see farmers giving up any time soon.

“What I find about people who are really engaged and enthused about agriculture, not much stops them,” said Perdue. “That’s our producers, our

farmers and ranchers. They’re just so resilient.

And they’re really passionate about the noble cause of producing food for the world. I find that those kinds of people, you can’t stop them. Pandemics don’t stop them.”

NOTICE TO FULTON TOWNSHIP TAXPAYERS: ASSESSED VALUES FOR 2020 VALUATION DATE (35 ILCS 200/9-95): JANUARY 1, 2020

Required level of assessment (35ILCS 200/9-145) 33.33% Median level of assessments for the Township: 33.19% Valuation based on sales from (35ILCS 200/1-155) 2017, 2018, 2019 Publication was hereby made for equalized assessed valuations for real property in this Township District in accordance with 35 ILCS 200/12-10. As required by 35 ILCS 200/9-210 and 35 ILCS 200/10115, the following equalization factors have been applied to bring the assessments to the statutorily required three-year median level of 33.33%: Residential: 1.0016 Commercial: 1.0000 Industrial: 1.0000 Farm Home & Site: .9574 Questions about these valuations should be directed to: Kathy Hogue, Township Assessor Morrison, IL 61270 (815)499-7062 Office Hours are: Monday 9 AM – 12 PM Pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/10-115, the Farm land assessments for the 2020 assessment year will increase by 10% of the preceding year’s median cropped soil productivity index as certified by the Illinois Department of Revenue with data provided by the Farmland Assessment Technical Advisory Board resulting in a $32.01 per acre increase for each soil productivity index.

Property in this Township, other than farmland and coal, is to be assessed at a 33.33% median level of assessment, based on the fair cash value of the property. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment.

The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. You may appeal your assessment to the Board of Review.

If you believe your property’s fair cash value is incorrect or that the equalized assessed valuation is not uniform with other comparable properties in the same neighborhood, the following steps should be taken: 1. Contact your Township assessor’s office to review the assessment.

2. If not satisfied with the assessor review, taxpayers may file a complaint with the Whiteside County Board of Review. For complaint forms, instructions, and the Rules and Procedures of the Board of Review, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org for more information.

3. The final filing deadline for your Township District is generally 30 days from this publication date. After this date the Board of Review is prohibited by law from accepting assessment complaints for properties in this Township. For more information on complaint deadlines, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org.

Your property may be eligible for homestead exemptions, which can reduce your property’s taxable assessment.

For more information on homestead exemptions, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org.

Your property tax bill will be calculated as follows: Final Equalized Assessed Value – Exemptions=Taxable Assessment Taxable Assessment X Current Tax Rate= Total Tax Bill All equalized assessed valuations are subject to further equalization and revision by the Whiteside County Board of Review as well as equalization by the Illinois Department of Revenue.

NOTICE TO ALBANY/GARDEN PLAIN TOWNSHIP TAXPAYERS: ASSESSED VALUES FOR 2020 VALUATION DATE (35 ILCS 200/9-95): JANUARY 1, 2020

Required level of assessment (35 ILCS 200/9-145): 33.33% Median level of assessments for the Township: 33.66% Valuation based on sales from (35 ILCS 200/1-155): 2017, 2018, 2019 Publication was hereby made for equalized assessed valuations for real property in this Township District in accordance with 35 ILCS 200/12-10. As required by 35 ILCS 200/9-210 and 35 ILCS 200/10115, the following equalization factors have been applied to bring the assessments to the statutorily required three-year median level of 33.33%: Residential: .9915 Commercial: 1.0000 Industrial: 1.0000 Farm Home & Site: .9894 Questions about these valuations should be directed to: Steve Whitmore, Township Assessor Albany, IL 61230 (309)887-4996 Office Hours are: By Appointment Only Pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/10-115, the Farm land assessments for the 2020 assessment year will increase by 10% of the preceding year’s median cropped soil productivity index as certified by the Illinois Department of Revenue with data provided by the Farmland Assessment Technical Advisory Board resulting in a $32.01 per acre increase for each soil productivity index.

Property in this Township, other than farmland and coal, is to be as-

sessed at a 33.33% median level of assessment, based on the fair cash value of the property. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment.

The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. You may appeal your assessment to the Board of Review.

If you believe your property’s fair cash value is incorrect or that the equalized assessed valuation is not uniform with other comparable properties in the same neighborhood, the following steps should be taken: 1. Contact your Township assessor’s office to review the assessment.

2. If not satisfied with the assessor review, taxpayers may file a complaint with the Whiteside County Board of Review. For complaint forms, instructions, and the Rules and Procedures of the Board of Review, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org for more information.

3. The final filing deadline for your Township District is generally 30 days from this publication date. After this date the Board of Review is prohibited by law from accepting assessment complaints for properties in this Township. For more information on complaint deadlines, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org.

Your property may be eligible for homestead exemptions, which can reduce your property’s taxable assessment.
