Wright’s Annual Egg Hunt returns after 2-year hiatus

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

More than a thousand children and their families descended on Richmond Park in Lyndon on Saturday, April 16, for the return of Wright’s Annual Egg Hunt after two years of cancellations due to COVID-19. The hunt is well-known for big prizes, free food, six egg hunting categories and dedicated volunteer efforts.

Saturday’s festivities included live music by the band Barn Ratz of Tampico, food cooked up by the Lyndon Fire Department, a visit by the Easter Bunny, and kids of all ages ready to scoop up some of the 30,000 colorful plastic eggs on the ground that were filled with candy and prize tickets.

The free egg hunts are categorized by ages 0-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9+, and special needs kids.

John and Kodi Wright of Lyndon have spearheaded the egg hunt for the past 15 years as a volunteer-driven and community supported effort. For the couple, it’s always been about bringing joy and smiles to all the kids and giving out great prizes.

Normally the event takes months to plan, but they only had six weeks to pull it all together this year – and were able to do so, thanks to all the community support.

Volunteers filled the majority of the 30,000 eggs with over 700 pounds of candy at the Lyndon Fire Station on Sunday, April 10. Generous community donors supported the event with dozens of new

Shaw’s Marketplace of Prophetstown and Walmart donated hamburgers and chips

for lunch, served up to all for free, though donations were accepted. With mild weather and excited kids all around, the event was a memorable day in the park after two years without the event.

Whiteside officials remind residents to take broadband survey for improved internet service MOR RISON – More than 300 Whiteside County residents so far have taken a survey to help officials assess the state of local internet services as they prepare to map out a plan for countywide broadband coverage.

That’s a great start, but more participation is needed to determine what the internet speeds are at various locations throughout the county, and to define what it is residents want their service to be able to do.

The survey, available in Spanish and English, takes less than 5 minutes, and its results will provide direction to ConnectWhiteside.org, the county’s 17-member planning committee.

The survey is available in English at connectwhiteside.org/survey and in Spanish at conecterwhiteside.org/ encuesta, and on paper in both languages for those with no internet or poor internet service.

People who work and live in Whiteside County can take the survey twice, once at each location. The

more data the county has on the quality of internet service at various locations, the better.

The deadline to complete the survey has been extended to the end of the business day on May 15.

The survey will ask you to test your computer’s speed and provide a link to do so, and will ask things such as who is your internet provider, what do you pay for internet and what do you use the internet for the most (streaming movies or music, schoolwork, attending virtual events, etc.).

Paper surveys are available: At Fulton City Hall, 415 11th Ave. At Henry C. Adams Memorial Library, 209 W. Third St., Prophetstown.

STERLING – Following the release of a report citing multiple errors committed by the Sterling and Rock Falls fire departments that it said contributed to the death of Lt. Garrett Ramos – including a failure to respond to his call for help – both city managers, the state Department of Labor and members of the Ramos family met April 12 to discuss the findings.

The results of the four-hour meeting are being discussed and information will be released “early next week,” Sterling City Manager Scott Shumard said April 14.

Ramos, 38, died Dec. 4 after the floor collapsed and he fell into the basement of a home on Ridge Road in Rock Falls.

According to the incident report, he was found with an empty air tank and unresponsive.

The report from the Illinois division of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, which the Department of Labor oversees, said that among the factors contributing to his death were: • Fire command didn’t realize the home had a basement.

• The fire was assessed to be under control when it was not.

• Ramos’ mayday call was not identified as coming from him and he was not immediately looked for or found.

• Once found, Ramos wasn’t given emergency air.

• The first two attempts to remove him from the basement failed.

OSHA’s conclusion: “The hazard controls and safety measures established through policy, training and supervision in [the Rock Falls and Sterling fire departments] failed to prevent a firefighter mayday incident. ... While everyone on the incident command team was responsible that day for firefighter safety, no one on the team exercised assertiveness (spoke up) to ensure that the victim was identified

When you have any kind of incident, you want to learn from it. We are committed to doing everything we need to do to ensure the safety of our community and our first responders.

We never want this to happen again.””

Skip Lee, Sterling mayor and rescued in a timely manner.”

As a result, the city of Sterling is being fined $24,000 and the city of Rock Falls is being fined $12,000.

The incident report, which was released to Sauk Valley Media a week ago by Ramos’ widow, Brittney Ramos, and to the city three days earlier, was accompanied by “a hazard alert notification” letter and a “citation and notification of penalty,” one each addressed to Sterling Mayor Skip Lee and Rock Falls Mayor Rod Kleckler.

Several hours after SVM reported OSHA’s findings, the cities of Sterling and Rock Falls released a joint statement in which they contested two findings that they said they would appeal: that the incident report, which did not identify firefighters by name, had misidentified the “accountability officer” at the scene, and that the report cited an email the city administrator sent to the Department of Labor that actually was part of an unrelated DOL inspection that had taken place earlier in the year.

“The cities have a conference on April 12 to address these matters,” the statement said.

In the meantime, “we are reviewing those citations to determine the best course of action to serve our obligations to the members of the fire departments and their families” and will not make additional comments on the merit of the citations “as we work through the appropriate legal process,” the statement said.

Neither of those DOL errors cited in the joint statement, however, appear to

be directly related to the on-scene “key contributing factors” the incident report cites, that the: • Basement was not identified during size-up.

• Interior firefighters did not always stay together.

• The mayday call was received, but the caller (Ramos) was not identified or located.

The joint statement did say that some of the report’s suggestions for the Sterling Fire Department already have been initiated, including reviews of standard operating guidelines and policies and provisions for additional training.

In addition, “prior to receiving this report, the Sterling and Rock Falls fire departments jointly reached out to the University of Illinois Fire Service Institute to update and schedule training for emergency scene accountability,

rapid intervention teams, 2-in-2-out policies and mayday procedures. ...

Portable radios have been reprogrammed to avoid accidental changes between primary and tactical channels,” said the statement, which is signed by Shumard and Rock Falls City Manager Robbin Blackert.

The incident report also cited problems with radio transmissions with the dispatch center. The two cities requested Whiteside County adopt the report’s recommendations to improve coverage, the statement said.

“The city remains committed to undertaking a full evaluation out of respect and honor for the sacrifice of Lt. Ramos and a desire for continuous improvement,” it said.

Lee on April 14 reiterated the cities’ commitment to learn from any mistakes made.

“Steps are being taken to address any training needs we might have,” said the mayor, who did not attend the conference April 12.

“When you have any kind of incident, you want to learn from it. We are committed to doing everything we need to do to ensure the safety of our community and our first responders.

“We never want this to happen again.”

She has seen many changes over the last 95 years, but one thing that was constant was her tender heart of loving Jesus and living it out in all she did through both blessings and adversity. Never did we hear her grumble or see a negative reaction from her, only encouraging words and tender truths. A gentle, quiet soul. A lover of Jesus.

Council approves HVAC, water system improvement bids

By SARAH FORD

The Morrison City Council approved an HVAC unit for the main level of the concession stand at the Morrison Sports Complex.

For Shaw Media

Discussions on upgrades to the Morrison Sports Complex continued at the Morrison City Council meeting on Monday, April 11.

Back on the agenda was a request for HVAC for the upper and lower levels of the concession stand. The estimated cost was $20,000 for two minisplit units, plus $5,000 for electric work.

The council debated whether to make the purchase or get more bids, and what should be the spending priorities at the complex.

Alderman Greg Kruse argued that HVAC was the “wrong place to start,” saying he wants to see the fields fixed first, also at an estimated cost of $20,000 to $25,000. Others on the council noted that would need to be done in the fall since the fields need to be closed for two weeks. Since the fields are already prepped and ready for spring soccer and MYBS, the work would be disruptive at this point.

Alderman Josh West said the council is committed to the complex and investing in a/c and other items that come up so they can continue to provide the experience that people are

Sarah Ford for Shaw Media

used to. Alderman Harvey Zuidema asked why the council waited until the last minute to fix the HVAC and wondered if the units will even arrive in time.

City Administrator Barry Dykhuizen said there won’t be concessions this year if the cooling system isn’t fixed, saying it’s uncomfortable for workers, food items will be ruined, and the refrigerator motors could be at risk if running in the heat. The council ultimately approved installation of an HVAC unit in the lower level and spending $700 for a portable unit for the upper level.

Sports complex discussions continued with alderman Vern Tervelt pro-

posing the elimination of a part-time position and creating a full-time activities Rec Director, with more discussions needed. Whiteside County Health Department inspections for the concession stand have been scheduled. The council agreed that after 13 years of managing the complex, they need to come up with a master plan for project funding and maintenance.

In other action, the council approved the FY23 Blue Cross Blue Shield renewal at a cost of $272,112. They approved a consulting service agreement with PG Design + Build to help manage the roof replacement project at Odell Library. A request for a $15,000 contribution to the Whiteside County

This is us...

Healthier Communities Partnership for Childhood Trauma Project, using the city’s American Rescue Plan funds, failed to secure a motion.

In water system improvements, the council accepted a $754,328 bid by Core & Main of Belvidere for replacing customer water meters and a $325,444.40 bid by Martin & Company Excavating of Oregon for the Wall Street and U.S. Route 30 watermain loop. The city only received one bid for each project, but each were under the engineer’s estimated cost for the project.

The council reviewed and approved the preliminary FY23 operating and capital budget, with $12 million in revenue and $7 million for capital projects, $4 million for operating expenses, and $1 million in transfers. Copies of the budget are available for the public to review at City Hall, with approval expected at the April 25 meeting.

In other reports, demolition at GE continues and permanent fencing will be installed after completion. The company reported that it is following demolition guidelines.

Moring Disposal is looking for staging grounds for the new garbage and recycling containers, with delivery to start next month.

April 18, 1962

A request for an increase in the tax rate limit in the Fulton Junior High and Grade School District was voted down, 410 to 267. The Board of Education said the tax increase was absolutely necessary. Deficit financing or a curtailment in school services are the only other alternati ves to a tax increase.

A farewell dinner for two retiring members of the Board of Education of Fulton High School was held in the Home Economics department of the high school. The dinner was held for Kenneth Doland and Clifford Rowland, who are retiring from the board. The dinner was served by the Home Economics class.

The Fulton City Council took several important steps toward getting started on extensive improvements to the city’s Sanitary Sewer Waste Dispo sal System. The improvement planned by the city will cost an estimated $600,000 or more with 80% of the project to be financed by state and federal grants if the city’s plans come to fruition.

A new landscape service known as Spangler’s Landscape Design is now in operation two and one half miles west of Morrison on Route 30. Mr. and Mrs. Lanny Spangler, who own and operate the business, offer landscaping services for homes and businesses.

He was a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship program.

Attorney Lon Richey of the Morrison firm of Nelson, Kilgus, Richey and Tusek has offered to have the firm serve the city of Fulton as city attorney at a basic fee of $400 a month or $4,800 a year. Only recently, the basic fee for a city attorney was raised from $1,200 to $1,500 a year.

In an attempt to discredit the count of the 1990 U.S. Census for Fulton, city officials are attempting to count every person living in the city. City Clerk LaVonne Huizenga and other city personnel are gathering the information through water bills. The 1980 Census for Fulton was nearly 4,000. The 1990 Census listed Fulton at 3,692. At present, the recount is at 3,825 with 40 residents still needing to reply. It would mean about $50 more a person a year if the city can prove it.

YOUR HEALTH

Jaundice refers to a yellow tint in the skin. The color arises from an accumulation of excess bilirubin when red blood cells break down. It is a fairly common condition in newborns and is seldom dangerous.

Birth before 38 weeks may increase the likelihood of jaundice.

The liver, which contributes to the removal of bilirubin, is not fully developed. Breastfeeding also may increase the presence of jaundice.

Rarely, if ever, has there been a bad outcome from breastfeeding elevations of bilirubin and jaundice.

Blood incompatibility between the mother and child may lead to excess bilirubin buildup that is dangerous. Sepsis and serious infections may lead to rapid destruction of blood cells that lead to dangerous levels of bilirubin in the brain. These may produce the condition known as kernicterus that is associated with neurological

damage including slowing the process of development and neurological malfunction. Liver defects and enzym e de ficienci es are rare causes. These serious associations likely may lead to the reaction of treatment of many babies with harmless elevations of bilirubin.

Signs to watch for with any baby include yellow skin, a listless feeling or response from your baby, a high-pitched cry, a poorly feeding baby or poor weight gain. Other changes observed by parents also deserve evaluation. Fever is something to pursue with your medical provider.

In the past, breastfeeding was inappropriately stopped. Now the recommendation is to increase the breastfeeding in order to turn on the liver enzymes, as well as to provide adequate calories and energy.

Babies may need to have additional treatment because of concerns and recommendations. Damage is seen when the bilirubin level is at 30, so many doctors begin treatment

around level 20. Also factored in is the rate of rise. Early on, this rate of rise may even supersede the importance of the absolute value.

Treatment, as noted, is frequent feedings, as well as increasing water intake. When treatment is ordered, it is typically inpatient with special lights called bililytes that help the body break down the excess of bilirubin. For more serious situations, the blood may be replaced in what is known as an exchange transfusion.

This is an extremely rare situation.

Likely we are over-treating some babies due to the theoretical concerns more than the actual in milder cases where there are no major risk factors.

Many otherwise reputable sources recommend against trying natural sunlight to reduce the jaundice. To be clear, no reasons for danger are sited. Whether in a hospital or outside, a child must be kept hydrated. By no means is natural sunlight anything close to enough for treating serious cases.

Riverdale honors former coach at track invite

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Riverdale School District honored retired coach and educator Paul Parker for his service in the classroom, in the field of competition, and for the generations of athletes he positively impacted by renaming the Riverdale Track Invite in his honor on Thursday, April 14. The invite has had a handful of names over its 20-year history, but it was finally cemented as Riverdale’s Paul Parker Co-Ed Track Invitational.

Even with the afternoon’s whipping winds, Coach Parker returned to the track that he was instrumental in saving years ago. He was hired by the Riverdale School District on June 6, 1963, and dedicated 49 years to the district until his retirement in 2012. During his decades at the school, he was a math teacher, varsity head football coach, and varsity girls track coach, among other accomplishments.

His lasting influence can be felt all over the high school, Athletic Director Guy Dierikx sais. Many trophies and plaques in the Hall of Fame wing come from his teams, as well as school and state record holders that he coached.

Current track coach Ami Henricksen keeps old suitcases passed down from Parker, with all sorts of gear for a

In 2003, Parker was inducted into the Riverdale Hall of Fame, mostly because of his selfless generosity in saving the track programs at Riverdale. An excerpt from his induction nomination letter reads:

“[Coach Parker] and a handful of others virtually saved both men’s and women’s track from extinction in the

early 1970s when the school system suffered from massive financial crises.

Mr. Parker and his associates worked hard to raise funds to provide coaches’ salaries; as well, he dug deep into his own pocket to help provide other amenities for his and other athletes. This money helped provide food, transportation and even uniforms.”

His generosity and service can still be felt today, said Dierikx, who spoke with Parker last week about taking care of nearly 40 tomato plants. While he loves gardening, Parker does this to hand out to his friends and neighbors.

The inaugural Paul Parker Co-Ed Track Invitational hosted competitors from nine schools for 17 scored events.

Team points for the women’s varsity were Sherrard 171, Kewanee (Wethersfield) 156, Toulon (Stark County) 73, Kewanee High School 63, Orion 47, Riverdale 45, Sterling-Newman 22 and Morrison 16.

Team points for the men’s varsity were: Riverdale 171, Toulon (Stark County) 114.50, Sterling-Newman 89, Cambridge 68.50, Kewanee High School 68, Kewanee (Wethersfield) 56, Oneida (ROWVA) 42, Morrison 56 and Orion 24.

Emmanuel’s Voices of Praise cantata rescheduled for May The Morrison Emmanuel Reformed Church’s “Voices of Praise” cordially invites the area to celebrate with them as they present EVOP’s 13th annual Spring cantata, “We Will Stand!” which has been rescheduled. Performances will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday and Sunday evenings, May 13 and 15, and 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 14.

The stage will be filled with 75 singers who will present music from a variety of genres. Contemporary worship songs such as “Who You Say I Am,” “Jesus,” “Build My Life,” “Is He Worthy” and others are examples of music heard on Christian radio stations such as K-LOVE. Songs that encourage during difficult times will be presented including “Just As I Am/I Come Broken,” “I’ve Put My Hope in God” and “I Will Stand.” Also included are new songs that encourage Christians to go out and spread the good news. As you listen, there will be times when some of you will want to clap your hands or tap your feet, others will simply smile, and most of you, at some point, will have tears in your eyes.

Rescheduled performances Performances will be at 7 p.m. May 13 and May 15 and at 3 p.m. May 14 at Morrison Emmanuel Reformed Church.

Soloists joining the choir will be Ed Pruis, Ritch Lindstrom, Pam Muur, Lynelle Criss and Brittany VanDrew.

Anna Ryder will serve as a narrator.

No tickets are needed for the 70-minute concert. There will be a free-will offering. All ages are welcome and the church is handicapped accessible. A fellowship hour hosted by the women of Emmanuel will follow all performances.

A free shuttle bus will be provided one hour prior to and following all three performances. The shuttle bus will pick people up from Ebenezer Reformed Church’s parking lot just two blocks south of Emmanuel’s campus and drop people off at the curb in front of Emmanuel.
