PHS participating in clay target league The new season is underway for the seven area high school teams that are participating in the Illinois State High School Clay Target League (ILSHSCTL) this spring.

The 1,311 athletes compete on the 65 high school teams from across the state that participate in the program, which is a part of the USA Clay Target League.

The seven area schools with teams are Eastland High School, Faith Christian School, Forreston Jr/Sr High School, Milledgeville High School, Morrison Community High School, Polo Community High School, and Prophetstown High School.

“We are excited to see a record number of high school teams participating this season.” said John Nelson, president of the USACTL. “There is such a high demand for outdoor activities that are an alternative to traditional sports. Kudos to the coaches and parents that make these teams possible.”

The students’ 9-week season began in late March with the first of two practice weeks to get them warmed up. Weekly competition begins April 17, with a final “fun week” in mid-May. The season culminates with tournaments held in June, and athletes with top season averages will be invited to register for the League’s National Championship held in Michigan every July. This spring, more than 31,500 student athletes are participating in League programs across the country.

“Athletes of all types are able to participate in clay target shooting,” Nelson said.

“The League has a ‘no bench warmers’ philosophy, and the League’s True Team scoring system is designed so that everyone’s score matters, not just the top athletes on a team.”

About the USA Clay Target League

With more than 43,000 participating athletes in the 2021-22 school year, the nonprofit USA Clay Target League is the larg-

est youth clay target shooting sport program in the world. The League offers trap, skeet, sporting clays, and 5-stand leagues to secondary and postsecondary schools across the country.

The League is the only 100% school-approved clay target shooting sport program in America and the League’s co-ed and adaptive nature are key attractions to schools nationwide. The League is fully Title IX compliant with both male and female athletes competing on the same team. Additionally, it’s an ‘adaptive’ sport, which allows students with physical disabilities to take part.

The League’s priorities are safety, fun, and marksmanship – in that order.

The League is the safest sport in school, with not one reported injury since the inception of the League in 2001. Each athlete must complete firearm safety certification before participation.

Volunteers with Revitalize Erie, a nonprofit organization committed to enhancing the Erie community, have plenty to keep them busy lately, such as springtime events, Sesquicentennial planning and park renovations in the heart of the downtown triangle. But when small business owners invest their time and resources into the community, the group is more than happy to celebrate their accomplishments and welcome them with ribbon-cuttings, refreshments, raffles and a message that “it takes a village to make things happen.”

On Monday, April 4, Revitalize Erie members celebrated the relocation of Misfeldt Family Chiropractic to 1331 12th St., the former Take One Hair Studio.

Dr. Amanda Misfeldt, a 2004 Erie High School graduate, first opened her practice at 904 Albany St. in February 2011, then moved it to 808 Main St. in 2016.

She’d been leasing, so when a building became available, she decided to finally purchase a place of her own. She closed on the property on Jan. 31 and after two months of remodeling the space, which also includes a rental apartment, she’s proud of how it turned out. Dr. Misfeldt lives and works in Erie and is excited to stay in the community and invest in her growing practice.

On Wednesday, April 6, Daniel Hawkins had a ribbon-cutting for Sauk Valley Law Group and Country Financial in the historic Knights of Pythias building at 724 Main St. Visitors enjoyed grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, salads, cake and raffle prizes. Hawkins has had a law office for 15 years but started as a Country Financial representative on Jan. 1, 2022. He and law partner Rebecca Rodriguez, of Polo, also started Sauk Valley Law Group, LLC on Jan. 1, and

Hawkins and his wife Cathy, both Erie High School graduates, grew up in Fenton and currently reside in Dixon. They have a small but dedicated crew to help in their new ventures: Trina Bystry of Coleta, Lisa Martells of Sterling and Mary Frohling of Erie. Hawkins looks forward to being Erie’s hometown lawyer.

Whitney Misfeldt is officially opening a Modern Woodmen of America office at 910 Albany St., formerly Miller Real Estate, on Tuesday, April 19. Misfeldt and Revitalize Erie invite the community to come by on Thursday, April 14, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. for a ribbon-cutting and refreshments to celebrate the

new location. Misfeldt graduated from Erie High School in 2015 and has another Modern Woodmen office in the Quad Cities. She’s a financial representative for the company and offers life insurance, retirement planning, financial services and member benefits. She’ll be in her Erie office on Tuesdays.

“Revitalize Erie and the village of Erie are so grateful for the investment these businesses are making in our community. Their commitment to renovating and restoring our historic buildings so they can provide their services to our residents, is a wonderful thing to celebrate!” AmeriCorps intern Katelin Bridgman said.

YOUR HEALTH

Basic tips for the treatment of dog, cat and spider bites

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, MD With the number of pets in our society, bites from dogs and cats are not uncommon. Here are some basic tips for treatment.

With either a cat or dog bite, the wound should be gently washed with soap and water. To stop bleeding, pressure should be applied with a clean towel to the injury followed by a sterile bandage to the wound. Keeping the injury elevated above the heart will help slow the swelling and lessen the chance of infection. The incident should be

reported to the proper authority, police or animal control officer. This helps to ensure tracking is done to certify that the animal has had sufficient shots to protect against rabies, etc.

In general, dog bites are cleaner than cat bites. Cat bites may be prone to infection and one should seek medical attention for these bites. On the other hand, cat scratches are not significant unless the wound becomes infected. Cat scratch disease, which gets a lot of hype, is not common. Dog bites on the hand, feet, head or that cross a joint can be particularly significant. Someone with deep and

gaping wounds should immediately be taken to a physician. Those with debilitating conditions such as diabetes, emphysema, liver disease, AIDS, etc., and those who have weakened ability to fight infections also should be seen.

The classic signs of infection include redness, swelling, warmth, increased tenderness, oozing of pus from the wound or fever. Also, bleeding that does not stop after 15 minutes of pressure should receive further attention by a physician. One should make sure that their tetanus shot is up to date. Generally 10 years is sufficient, thought with

deep wounds, five-year updates are sometimes given.

Spider bites also get a lot of hype and attention. Most spider bites are harmless. Unless there is strong suspicion of brown recluse spiders or some of the more threatening type, the harm of treatment, while rare, might exceed the benefit.

One caveat to keep in mind is a fair number of people go to the physician with an infection that was presumed to be a spider bite. Such infections may be serious staph infections known as MRSA.

Morrison Music Theatre Association has been granted tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. After a long and complicated application process, MMTA is officially recognized as a 501(c)(3) public charity. This means individual donors and businesses can deduct contributions to the group on their tax returns. MMTA is also able to receive tax-exempt bequests, transfers and gifts.

Achieving tax-exempt status has been a longtime dream of the organization, but it was former MMTA president and current treasurer Eric Phend who spearheaded the project. After many months of hard work, official sta-

tus was awarded to the group in March.

“We hope that this tax-exempt status will encourage individuals and businesses to contribute to MMTA. Increased funding will allow us to grow and continue in our mission to present quality theatrical productions to the people of the Sauk Valley area,” Phend said.

The next MMTA production will be “Steel Magnolias.” The show, originally planned for March, has been rescheduled for June 3, 4 and 5 and will be presented at Morrison Institute of Technology. Ticket and performance information soon will be released.

Illinois soon could track which school districts don’t comply with Illinois Threat Assessment Law Shaw Local News Network Illinois House Bill 4994 is awaiting the signature of Gov. JB Pritzker after passing both chambers of the General Assembly.

The legislation, which was initiated by the Illinois Education Association, would track which Illinois school districts are not in compliance with the Illinois School Threat Assessment Law. State Reps. Tony McCombie, R-Savanna, and Fred Crespo, D-Hoffman Estates, worked with the Illinois Education Association to sponsor the bill.

“In a situation like what happened in Michigan, the threat assessment team would have been called upon and intervened to get the student the help they needed b e f o r e t r a g e d y Tony McCombie occurs. That is the intent of this law,” McCombie said. “The children of our state are our most important asset. We must ensure threat assessment plans are not only created but reviewed and

followed to keep our students safe.”

The Illinois Education Association in 2019 initiated the legislation, and the Legislature passed the School Threat Assessment Law. Here’s what the law does is: • Expands the use of the 1-cent county sales tax to include school safety improvements, school resource officers or mental health professionals, or allow a district to issue bonds, borrow money or find other ways to pay for similar needs.

• Instructs schools to develop a threat assessment team and a threat assessment protocol.

• Calls for each district to review each school building’s emergency and crisis response plans, protocols and procedures and the makeup of its team.

• Requires school districts to implement a threat assessment procedure that may be part of a school board policy on targeted school violence and prevention, which must include the creation of a threat assessment team made up of specific people.

• Requires each district’s assessment team to include mental health professionals as well as representatives from state, county and local law enforcement agencies.
