Live pro wrestling returns to Rec Center

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

For a few hours on Saturday night, the Prophetstown Park District’s gymnasium was converted to a wrestling arena as ZOWA Live returned to the Rec Center for a live pro wrestling event.

ZOWA’s “Breathe” event brought an excited crowd of spectators ready to watch the rumbling in the ring for seven matches and all the thrills of the competition.

The atmospheric lights, music, concessions, bells, and banter of the pro wrestlers had the crowd enthused and engaged for the duration of the show.

ZOWA Live owner Ryan Zschiesche, originally from Prophetstown, said it’s been two years since an event in Prophetstown due to the pandemic, and the time was right to bring wrestlers back to the ring in his hometown. He said the events are family friendly and feature wrestlers from throughout the region.

Zschiesche, who now lives in Rock Falls, added that two more events are scheduled in Prophetstown this season, on Feb. 19 and March 19. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. Visit ZOWA Live on social media for information and more.

MORRISON

The American Red Cross is facing a national blood crisis – its worst blood shortage in more than a decade, posing a concerning risk to patient care.

As the Red Cross appeals to people of all ages and blood types to sign up to give, we are celebrating loyal blood donors such as Lyle Bush of Morrison, who continue to donate. Bush, who recently turned 80, is a father to three and a grandfather to five though he has impacted thousands of lives through his 232 donations (nearly 30 gallons) of his type O positive blood.

Type O positive blood is given to patients more than any other blood type, which is why it’s considered the most needed blood type.

Since learning of the significance of giving blood and his unique blood type many years ago, Bush has continued

to donate though he says it doesn’t take much effort.

“I like to help other people when I can and I knew there was a big need for it and I just wanted to try and do my share,” Bush said. “It’s really not hard. In fact, it’s no effort at all. You just lay on a table and somebody else does the rest.”

Beyond being O positive, Bush’s blood is part of an exclusive group of donors who have not been exposed to Cytomegalovirus (CMV,) a flu-like virus that the majority of adults are exposed to. When a baby needs a blood transfusion, it needs to come from a CMV negative donor such as Bush because it is the safest blood for immune deficient newborns.

The Red Cross celebrates donors who are both CMV negative and type

O as they are considered “Heroes for Babies” since only a small number of donors are able to meet this very specific need for pediatric blood products across the country.

“When it can save other people’s lives, why not do it?” Bush added.

Blood donations are needed now to meet the needs of accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease.

The Red Cross asks the country to roll up a sleeve to help ensure people receive the care they need. Make an appointment to give blood or platelets as soon as possible by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Bush also was reappointed to the court’s Website Task Force, on which he has served since 2019. The 13-member task force revamped the court’s website; the new site was launched in June at www.illinois-

courts.gov.

He also is on the court’s e-Business Advisory Board, which “provides recommendations, advice and guidance” to the court and its administrative office.

Bush also has served on the Illinois State Bar Association’s Committee on Legal Technology since 2002, the release said.

ALBANY

Albany welcomes Rick Cass as new police chief

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Albany residents are breathing a sigh of relief thanks to the return of a small but dedicated police force, a welcome sight in the village that’s been without any officers for nearly half a year.

Richard “Rick” Cass, of rural Carroll County, officially became the fulltime police chief Jan. 1 after starting part time Dec. 10.

Cass first had to familiarize himself with the department, figure out computer programs and equipment, get acquainted with village staff and the board, and ensure the department’s compliance with the state.

Prior to Cass taking the reins, the village was without a police force after the resignation of the former chief and three other officers in June 2021.

Whiteside County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Fulton Police Department officers had to be called in for any

emergencies.

But now that he’s settling into his new position, Cass feels optimistic about the department’s direction. With decades of experience under his belt, he’s looking forward to small-town policing and building a solid and reliable department. “My preference is to be out in the community to meet people, to talk to people, and to help people,” he said. One of his biggest concerns is speeding drivers, with many residents raising red flags about road safety since the departure of a visible police force.

Albany residents may be comforted by the chief’s dedication to law and order. Cass’s career in law enforcement stems from a family devoted to the field – his dad was a trooper, his mom worked for the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, and his younger brother is also a police officer.

Cass started his career in the Army and was an active-duty military police officer from 1986 to 1992. He then joined

civilian law enforcement, starting with the state in 1992. He was employed by a couple of agencies, working predominantly in investigations. Over the years, he expanded his network by working in multiple departments, sometimes concurrently, throughout Carroll, Jo Daviess, Ogle, Stephenson, and Winnebago counties.

“That was when I was a workaholic,” he laughs, adding that he was also a police chief in Chadwick and Shannon. “I love small towns. I prefer small towns,” he said.

Cass eventually had one full-time and three part-time jobs at different departments but finally decided to retire in 2021. But the well-earned rest and relaxation didn’t last long when he saw the chief opportunity in Albany.

He and his wife Linda had taken many day trips to the town over the years, and they loved its charm with the river views, bike trails, antiques, and other establishments.

While he resumes a 9-to-5 schedule,

Linda keeps their rural hobby farm and homestead going. The empty nesters have mini donkeys, mini horses, and chickens and roosters. “We’re animal lovers,” he said, adding that his wife is “incredibly supportive” of his return to the workforce. She also volunteered her time with some overdue office cleaning, and she keeps the cupboards stocked with food. “I just wasn’t ready to retire,” he said smiling, while looking around his new office. “I can still take a punch.”

Cass, 54, said he is a peace officer by statute, and he has no agenda other than protecting and serving. “You get hired to do a job, and you do your job. I want to work, it’s a nice town, and I want to make sure we make the right decisions.”

The department also consists of two part-time officers, Andrew Schott and Justin Stralow, with plans to hire more part-time officers and bring a fully functioning police force back to Albany.

Dwayne Schipper, a 6-foot senior, is featured on the basketball roundup page. He is one of the dependable reserves adding bench strength to the Steamers varsity squad by filling in at center and forward and playing a major role in junior varsity games.

All officers were reelected and routine business was transacted at the meeting of the Garden Plain Mutual Fire Insurance Co. Officers and directors paid special tribute to T.J. Hogarth, who was reelected a director for the 35th consecutive time and is the same age (87) as the company. Hogarth was first elected a director in January 1927.

Fulton Recreational Lanes has completed its first 10 years. Issac and Alfred Norman, owners and operators, bought land in East Fulton in April 1961 and made plans for Fulton Recreational Lanes. Equipment for the 10 lanes was purchased from the Brunswick Corp., and building plans were drawn by C.V. Wiebenga. A highlight in the past 10 years was a perfect 300 game bowled by

Chester Hoeksema.

A drawing gives a layout of the athletic park that might become a part of Fulton’s parks. The city of Fulton owns the former Chicago and Northwestern Railroad right of way, and if all procedures are approved, it will become the property of Drives Inc. from Eighth Street to Twelfth Street. In exchange, Drives will give the city about 12 acres of land bordering the bike trail at the

east side of the Drives acreage. The athletic fields will include a standard softball field, a standard baseball field, a regulation soccer field and possibly a large enclosed pavilion.

Windmill Rye Whiskey, a new product of the Mississippi River Distilling Co. in LeClaire, Iowa, is named for Fulton’s de Immigrant Windmill, where a portion of the rye was ground. Ryan and Garret Burchett, owners of the distilling company, contacted Tourism Director Heather Bennett, saying they planned to produce a limited bottling of a seasonal spirit – a light rye whiskey – and they were interested in having a portion of the rye ground at de Immigrant. After approval from the city of Fulton and the Volunteer Millers, all things were ready. The Burchetts agreed to promote de Immigrant on the back of the label on the bottles of Windmill Rye Whiskey and on their company website.

Part 4: Questions established to help the alcoholic

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. What can be done to help the alcoholic? Besides eliminating the myths referred to in previous articles, we must identify as many signs as we can in order to be helpful. While this may sound easy, most people are not identifying an alcoholic until her or she is far into the disease.

To help overcome this delay and find earlier diagnosis, scientists have developed special questionnaires. One of the most basic and frequently cited is the CAGE questionnaire. The key words are Cut, Annoyed, Guilty and Eye opener. The specific questions are: 1. Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?

2. Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?

3. Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?

4. Have you ever had a drink the first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover (an eye opener)?

The following is another pre-screening test called MAST, the Michigan Alcoholism Screen Test. A brief version of the test is: 1. Do you feel you are a normal drinker?

2. Do friends or relatives think you are a normal drinker?

3. Have you ever attended a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous?

4. Have you ever lost friends or girlfriends/boyfriends because of your drinking?

5. Have you ever neglected your obligations to family or work for more than two or more days in a row because of your drinking?

6. Have you ever had delirium tremens or DTs – severe shaking, heard voices or seen things that were not really there after heavy drinking?

7. Have you ever gone to anyone for help about your drinking?

8. Have you ever been in the hospital because of your drinking?

9. Have you ever been arrested for drunken driving or driving after drink-

ing?

The following is a set of questions developed by William Clark from Harvard.

1. When you drink, do you usually drink to get high?

2. Do you sometimes drink alone?

3. Do you find yourself looking forward to drinking?

4. Have you noticed an increased tolerance for alcohol?

5. Do you have blackouts?

6. Have you found yourself using alcohol in an unplanned way?

7. Do you drink for medicinal purposes?

8. Do you work at protecting your supply of alcohol?

While the above questions are generic questionnaires, there are questions that may be asked to a specific population. For example, with a growing number of women alcoholics identified, some specific questions include: 1. Do you ever carry alcohol in your purse?

2. Does your drinking vary with

your menstrual cycle?

3. Has your drinking affected the regularity or quality of your menstrual periods?

4. What effect do you think your drinking has had on your children?

5. Has there been physical violence in your home, such as spouse abuse or child abuse?

If we are going to identify more alcoholics and problem drinkers, we all need to be asking these questions more as this process must be used as one of a total societal condition. Furthermore, we must be willing to have those questions asked of ourselves, regardless of our own feelings or experiences with alcohol. After all, one of the most important elements in treatment of the disease of alcoholism is to find out all we can about the disease process.

Local treatment programs can direct you to many group. Two of our local groups for help are Bridgeview Behavioral Services at 563-243-5633 and Alcoholics Anonymous at 563-242-8136 or 800-839-1686.

MORRISON

An 80-year-old resident at Resthave Care and Rehabilitation has made her first snow angel of 2022.

Sondra Horn completed her artistic feats after the recent snowfall.

“This spirited, fun-loving, spry and agile 80-year-old resides at Resthave Care and Rehabilitation in the assisted living wing,” Marketing Director Karla Burn said. “Sondra has made a snow angel every year for as long as she can remember. Staff love this annual tradition and will often make one with her.”

Burn said Horn offers her expertise to those who want to create a snow angel.

“She gives great instructions to staff to make sure their snow angels come out looking good. Before Sondra makes her angel, she will often tell her friends at Resthave she is going out to do it and many of them show up to watch from their windows,” Burn said. “They are always impressed by Sondra’s ability to get up and down so easily but they usually don’t brave the cold to try and join her.”

This year, Resthave’s dietary aide Jered Cross made a snow angel with Sondra.

“Jered had a blast making his snow angel with Sondra,” Burn said.

VILLAGE OF ERIE

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Erie Village Board approved moving forward with various projects and to apply for a couple of grants at their monthly meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 11.

Revitalize Erie intern Katelin Bridgman provided updates on projects in the works, from TIF development to the village’s Sesquicentennial celebrations. The board voted unanimously to share the costs of hiring Moran Economic Development of Edwardsville, as TIF consul-

tants, with the Erie School District.

They approved the Beautification Committee’s request to apply for a $50,000 grant, with an aim to redesign the public space in the Triangle and hire an artist to paint a mural.

Bridgman also discussed the need to update the village’s website and become compliant with legal requirements. The board unanimously approved hiring Team WTI to update the site, with Police Chief Brian Hawk agreeing to help maintain it once the upgrades are complete.

Bridgman also reported that she’s been working with Blackhawk Hills

Regional Council, a nonprofit regional planning organization, regarding sidewalks and walkability, with plans to identify problem areas in need of upgrades.

Hawk reported that maintenance on a squad car is underway, and the department is still looking to hire another officer. He requested applying for a USDA Rural Development grant to help purchase a new squad car, with the board approving. The grant would cover 35% of the cost of the squad. The board also unanimously approved the employment contract with Hawk.

Joel Papineau of Public Works reported that he’s waiting for warranty-covered parts for the new snowplow, which needs repairs. The board also approved the purchase of a used snowplow for $3,000, and directed Papineau to work with the Whiteside County Highway Department to get project estimates for planned street repairs this year.

The board also approved Village Clerk Gail Possley as an additional signee for the village’s checking account and learned a planning meeting for Erie’s 150th celebration was set for Jan. 24.

In 1967, Marvin & Florence Wiersema purchased one motorcoach while farming near Rock Falls, IL. After an opportunity arose to sell the farm, Marvin and Florence decided to follow a dream of enlarging their motorcoach company. After selling of the farm they moved to rural Morrison, IL and began to grow. The growth of the company was aided when Marvin and Florence's son Larry returned from the Army in 1971. Larry joined his Dad by driving, working on and cleaning the motorcoaches and also making business decisions. For many years Larry and Marvin worked together making Wiersema Charter a well known and respected company. Larry's wife Jan started helping with book work and other reports. Carleen Fisher, the oldest daughter of Marvin and Florence, also joined the company in the office. She is the office secretary and is in charge of customer and charter reservations as well as other duties.

In 2000 Eric Wiersema, Larry and Jan's oldest son, was the first of the third generation to begin a full time career at the charter company. Eric began driving when he turned 21 and has since taken over as the Director of Operations.

He does the maintenance to the coaches, oversees the dispatching, safety, and cleaning of the coaches, as well as helping his Mom and Dad with office work. In 2006 Larry and Jan's youngest son, Gregg Wiersema, joined the company after graduating from the University Of Dubuque in Dubuque, IA with his Bachelor's in Business Administration. Gregg started driving part time when he turned 21 until graduation then began driving full time.

He also helps his Dad and Brother in the shop and His Mom with paperwork. Gregg is now the Director of Human Resource and also maintains the web site, works with pricing, as well as other duties shared by the family. Even though Eric and Gregg did not start to drive until they were 21 they have been involved with helping their parents since they could pick up a wrench and bring it to their Dad. Since the death of Marvin in 2001 and Florence in 2006, Larry and Jan purchased the company in 2007. Larry, Eric and Gregg still enjoy driving as much as possible while also trying to spend time with their families. Eric and Gregg are both married and both have daughters. Eric's wife Lisa works outside of Wiersema Charter,but is still an important influence to this family owned company. Gregg's Wife, Jackie, also works outside of the bus company now that she has finished her degree and found a job in the area. When Marvin began in 1967 he started a love and a passion that continues to grow in his family.

BOYS BASKETBALL: FULTON 69, MILLEDGEVILLE 35

By TY REYNOLDS

treynolds@shawmedia.com

It took most of the first quarter Monday night, but when the Fulton boys basketball team got going, it really took off.

The Steamers, ranked No. 4 in the Class 1A Associated Press poll, went on runs in both halves of the NUIC South road game against Milledgeville and pulled away for a 69-35 victory.

“When we get going, it’s really hard to stop us. We got on those runs and build the lead,” junior Ethan Price said. “We had a few guys hit some shots, we bumped up the intensity on defense, and that’s what really got us going and separated us in the game tonight.”

After Bryce Aude’s 3-pointer brought Milledgeville (11-5, 1-1) to within 7-5 midway through the first quarter, Fulton (18-1, 3-0) responded with a 17-6 run over a 6 minute, 45-second span to stretch the lead to 24-11.

In the second half, it was a 26-7 run over a 9:21 span to close the third quarter and open the fourth that put the game away. Baylen Damhoff finished

off that surge with a dunk with 3:17 left to play to make it 67-34 Steamers.

“We started moving the ball well and got open shots, and a bunch of our shots started to fall. Once that happens, the momentum carries over and everyone else starts making their shots, too,” said Damhoff, who had game highs of 30 points, nine rebounds and four blocks. “It was just finding that extra pass for a better shot. Once we started doing that, we hit those open shots and started getting more and more confident.”

Fulton shot 53% from the field (28 for 53) for the game, including 33% from 3-point range (6 for 18), and dished 15 assists on offense. Nine Steamers scored – all five starters and four reserves – led by Damhoff and Price (12 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists).

“It makes it a lot more effective when everybody contributes,” Price said. “We know our starters can score, so when those guys coming off the bench can score, too, that’s really big for us. That’s really what we look for is a nice balance.”

Continued from page 15 Milledgeville made a little run toward the end of the second quarter, as Aude turned a loose ball into a 3-pointer and Izaac Toms-Smith followed with another 3, then Eric Ebersole scored on the fast break and TomsSmith added a layup off a post-to-post pass from Kieren Harris to get to within 27-21 with 14 seconds left before halftime.

“We moved the ball, we didn’t force stuff, we had our guy in the middle, we were moving the ball, and we were taking good shots and they were falling,” Connor Nye said about the offensive success during that spurt. “We weren’t forcing anything, just letting it come to us, and we rebounded the ball well.

“They’re a good solid team, No. 4 in the state, so we knew coming in that it was going to be challenging,” he added.

“We just couldn’t pass the ball well and we were forcing stuff we shouldn’t have for a lot of the game.”

Fulton seized back the momentum in the final three seconds before the break. Ian Wiebenga was fouled shooting a 3 with 2.9 seconds left, and he hit the first two free throws, then Damhoff grabbed a long rebound on the missed third shot. But the clock started too soon, so play was stopped and two seconds were put on the clock.

The Steamers took a timeout to draw up a play, and Price inbounded the ball from the right side with a lob pass to Damhoff, who was sandwiched between two Missile defenders. He managed to get a shot up, and it bounced on the rim a couple of times before falling through for a 31-21 halftime lead.

Fulton opened the second half with a Price 3 and a Damhoff putback, but Milledgeville answered with back-toback buckets by Nye. Damhoff scored inside and Patrick Lower converted a three-point play for Fulton, but Kacen Johnson scored for the Missiles to make it 41-27 Fulton with 4:17 left in the third.

But Damhoff scored on a spin move inside, then he knocked down a 3 before Price drove the baseline for a layup,

Fulton’s Kole Schipper works in the paint against Milledgeville on Monday, Jan. 17. stretching the lead to 48-27 and igniting that big second-half surge.

“In the first half, we just weren’t executing like we want to, but give credit to Milledgeville. Their 2-3 zone was very active, and we played a little too passive; we weren’t aggressive like we normally are,” Fulton coach RJ Coffey said. “I thought once we settled in and started getting the basketball inside a little bit, good things happened.”

The Steamers also turned to their defense to take control. They employed a full-court press at times throughout the game, keeping the Missiles ball-handlers from getting comfortable and speeding up the Milledgeville offense just enough to cause problems.

Fulton forced 19 Missile turnovers and limited leading scorer Harris to four points, six rebounds, two assists and two blocks before he fouled out with 5:30 to play.

“That’s one thing we stress: ball pressure,” Damhoff said. “We never allow it to get in the middle, pretty much, so if we never allow middle, they can’t really get easy shots up, and that’s what helps us have success on the defensive end.”

“We want to apply constant pressure,” Coffey said. “We gave them a couple of different looks, but we just try to utilize our athleticism and our length, and that’s one thing our guys have really bought into is just nonstop pressure, trying to put teams in bad spots and make them play faster than they’re used to. I thought we kept them kind of uneasy the whole time.”

Ryan Eads had five points, three rebounds and three assists for the Steamers, and Brock Mason added four points, four steals, three rebounds and three assists. Wiebenga and Jacob Jones both finished with four points, and Jones added five rebounds. Drew Dykstra added five fourth-quarter points, and Lower chipped in two assists and a block to go with his threepoint play.

“They have size, and they’re definitely well-coached. They move without the ball, they cut really hard, they hit the open gaps,” Milledgeville coach Brad Grenoble said. “Their defense is great, their hands are all over you – in a good way. … We felt that if we only gave them one shot each trip, we’d be OK and be in the game, but they’ve got

those big kids who just jump right over you – not fouling, but they’re just so long and athletic.”

Johnson led the Missiles with 11 points, and he also had five rebounds.

Nye had seven points and six rebounds, Aude added six points, four rebounds and two assists, and Toms-Smith finished with five points. Milledgeville shot 29% from the field (14 for 49) and from 3-point range (4 for 14).

“I’m proud of the way our defense worked and the effort we gave for the full 32 minutes,” Grenoble said. “But I told the kids from the beginning that there are some teams you can run against and some you can’t, and if we got in a track meet against the cream of the crop, we were going to struggle.

“When we relax and get the ball across half court and then slow down and run our sets, good things happen.

But I think when we got down 13 or 14 points, we were just trying to do too much. It’s like every shot’s a 5-pointer, and everybody wants to shoot it from deep and not run our offense, just try and make up all that ground at once.

We’ve still got a ways to go on offense, and we just have to keep working at it.”
