First case of COVID-19 variant has been detected in Rock Island County Health officials urge continued mask wear and vaccinations

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has announced the first case of another COVID-19 variant (B.1.351), this time in a Rock Island resident.

This variant was first identified in South Africa.

In a Feb. 12 press release, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that the variant was confirmed in a Rock Island resident.

The release said 22 cases of the B.1.1.7 variant have been reported in the United States after being first identified in the United Kingdom.

“We expected to see more cases of variants detected in Illinois, including the B.1.351 strain,” said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “These variants seem to spread more rapidly, which can lead to more cases of COVID-19 and even another surge. Our best path to defeating this virus as quickly as possible remains wearing our masks and getting vaccinated when it’s our turn.”

“Having this new variant in our com-

Cory Law, emergency response coordinator for the Whiteside County Health Department, speaks with nurse Donna Smith Feb. 10 in Fulton.

Teachers, school staff and manufacturing employees were invited to have their vaccinations administered at the high school. munity underscores the need to take personal precautions to prevent further spread. Please continue to wear your mask when away from home, watch your distance when around others and wash your hands frequently,” said Rock Island County Health Department Administrator Nita Ludwig.

Cases of the B.1.351 were first reported in the U.S. at the end of January. So far, studies suggest that antibodies generated through the current COVID-19 vaccines recognize these variants and may offer some protection. Additional studies are underway.

IDPH will continue to work with local health departments, academic partners, laboratories, and CDC to monitor for cases. IDPH has increased its surveillance for this and other variants using genomic sequence testing on an increased number of specimens.

Viruses constantly change and new variants are expected. In addition to the B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 variants, the P.1 variant has emerged in Brazil.

Public health experts are working to better understand the potential impact of this variant, including how the variant spreads and how it affects people who are infected.

The same measures that have helped protect Illinoisans from COVID-19 will also help protect residents from the variant.

Wearing a mask, staying at least 6 feet apart from others, avoiding crowds, ventilating indoor spaces, and washing hands frequently remain the best tools for preventing the spread of this virus, no matter the strain.

ROAD TO RECOVERY

Bull-headedness helps man recover, wife says

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media February 6 was a cold and blustery Saturday, but that didn’t stop people from lining the streets to welcome home Erie resident Richard “Skip” Jepson after a 5-month battle with COVID-19.

“It’s small-town USA,” said Karen Jepson, Skip’s wife of 54 years. “We had happy tears that day, finally.”

A brigade of emergency vehicles met the Jepson family at the Shell station in Hillsdale last week to lead the family on the final run home, with sirens going the whole way.

Fire Chief Doug Rutledge, Jamie Melton, and Jodie Wells of the Erie Fire Protection District, Officer Bruce Franks of Prophetstown, and Albany Fire Chief Leo Geerts and Police Chief Wyatt Heyvaert, both relatives of the Jepson family, wanted to be sure to give Skip, 76, a homecoming to remember.

Along the route, friends and community members cheered, waved, and held up signs of support as the procession went by. They circled the Erie triangle, where they saw crowds of community members expressing their love and support.

Finally, the family made it home to watch as the parade of people drove past their house.

“They were wishing me well,” Skip said, almost teary-eyed. Karen was emotional in remembering the day too. “It was a great day for more reasons than one. It’s been a long road to get where he’s at now.”

For the Jepson family, that journey home marked the end of a heartbreaking and challenging year, but also the beginning of one where faith is now stronger. The couple lost their eldest son Bart Jepson on March 27, who passed away at age 52 after a battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma.

With the ongoing pandemic, nothing could be normal in a time of such shared grief.

In late September, Skip suspects he caught the virus from an asymptomatic carrier, which began his 5-month battle against the deadly virus. In the months that followed, as he held on for life, the family documented the journey that had him in four different hospitals and facing the odds in his fight against COVID-19.

The couple both tested positive

Skip and Karen Jepson pose for a photo in their home. Skip returned home on Feb. 6 after being hospitalized and on a ventilator for COVID-19. for the virus during a clinic at Hammond-Henry in Colona on Oct. 5.

Skip was coughing while Karen had fatigue and lack of energy.

After a check-in from their son Chad on Oct. 10, and the coughing only getting worse, they called an ambulance which brought him to Hammond-Henry Hospital in Geneseo. After a day there, with pneumonia and fluid filling his lungs, he was flown by helicopter to Bloomington, where he would spend ten days on a ventilator and under round-the-clock care.

During this time, with so much uncertainty and anxiety, the family relied on each other, prayer, faith, and medical miracles.

Karen expressed gratitude for all the doctors, nurses, and the right medicines and machines to get him through the battle. While home and alone, Karen said she often looked at a horse painting on her wall, a connection to her son Bart, and felt an angelic and divine influence. “The good Lord was working in his direction,” she said.

Skip was transferred to Select Specialty Hospital in Davenport on Oct. 27, where he would spend another 13 days on a ventilator. His birthday, Nov. 3, was the first time in that period that he was able to see his wife and children through the windows of the room, though he struggles to remember.

Karen said his eyes would light up during family visits, but in mid-November the hospitals were again closed to visitors due to COVID-19.

On Dec. 4, Skip was transferred to Illini Restorative Place in Silvis, which was much closer to home as well as his daughter’s Amy Ashmore, who’d been visiting him nearly every day of his hospitalization.

With therapeutic care from the staff and the support of his family, friends and faith, he gained strength and started to return to his old self.

On Jan. 6, he was moved to a room with a window, and nurses could finally start to see a difference.

“That was the last place, and they did wonders with him there,” Karen said, though adding that some of the nurses had worries about his prospect for recovery.

But for the next few weeks, therapy care focused on his throat muscles, impacted by weeks on a ventilator. Skip hadn’t had solid food or water for nearly three months, relying on a peg tube for nutrition.

He was finally able to taste a meal on Jan. 25, his first once since Oct. 3.

By the end of January, his progress was enough that he could finally prepare to go home.

Now after a week at home, resting and readjusting and getting lots of visits from grandchildren, Skip continues to recover his strength while reflecting on the experience.

“I’m doing real well. I have to use my walker for my exercises and walking around. It’s been a rough year but I’m glad to start this one on a better foot,” he said.

Ongoing therapies will include visiting nurses and therapy sessions three times a week for the next four months. He’s also had two doses of the vaccine, and he monitors his oxygen levels daily.

His first homecooked meal from Karen was cheeseburger and fries, and he’s taken a liking to soup after never really being a fan of it. He’s awaiting the time he can chew on his favorite Scotcheroos, made by his sister-in-law.

Family and friends continue to bring food, comfort, and time together. Skip has also been watching his favorite E-P sports, now that the kids are back in the game and online. He especially likes wrestling and basketball.

The couple, who’ve lived in Erie since 1974, are just grateful for a return to some sort of normalcy.

They’re both Erie High school graduates – he grew up in Fenton, and she in Portland. He retired from Case-IH in East Moline and she from GE in Morrison.

“We went the opposite direction every morning,” Karen said.

There’s talk of them heading down south for future winters, but Skip chuckles that he’s a homebody who doesn’t want to miss out on watching his grandkids’ winter sports.

But he did get a little more tech-savvy during his recovery time, setting up Facetime with Karen so they could continue to see each other. “I got real good at that,” he smiled.

Family is key, with daughter Amy and son Chad remaining close and connected, along with grandsons Bryce, Carter, Aidan, Tucker, Lukas, Jakob, and Kallen. They also have a great-grandson Jase and great-granddaughter Kaley. If anything, Skip said his faith is stronger, as are the family bonds.

Ultimately, the couple are just happy to be home, even if they have to endure another cold Midwestern winter. They cherish their time together, and the journey that they endured this year.

“We were fortunate. Lots of lots of prayers were answered,” Karen said. “We appreciate everything that everyone’s done for us,” she said, especially the heartwarming homecoming that was a reminder of the joys of small-town USA. “He’s kind of a miracle. He’s got a good, strong heart,” Karen lovingly says of her husband. “And his bull-headedness paid off.”

OUT AND ABOUT

Snowshoeing and plenty more at the Tree Co.

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media After wrapping up their third season of selling Christmas trees, Rob and Katie Sowder of The Tree Co. have a new off-season activity for families to enjoy on their rural Port Byron farm – snowshoeing.

The snowshoes and poles were one of Katie’s “COVID” purchases for diversifying the farm and providing a family-friendly winter activity.

“I thought people may need a place to do something. It’s safe, outdoors, and only small groups can go. We have 18 acres, so there’s no reason to be within 6 feet of anyone. It’s really beautiful back there,” she says of the experience.

With 15 snowshoe sets available in sizes from 4-year-olds and up, guests can rent the equipment for 2-hour blocks at a cost of $15 per person.

A barn with a bar and rocket stove provides a place to warm up or unwind after the excursion.

With the whole property available to explore, The Tree Co. offers solitude, group exercise, fresh country air, or a place to try something new.

The couple bought the former Mumma’s Tree Farm in December 2017 and began selling Christmas trees a year later. Katie, a Riverdale graduate, said her family bought trees here for years. She has a picture of her oldest daughter, now 9, as a baby by her first tree at the farm.

“I didn’t think we’d ever own the place, but now that we do, we can’t imagine it any other way,” Katie said.

She and Rob are both in the medical field, and after some time working in Chicago they decided to return to their hometown and add another profession to the mix. Their children and farm helpers are Callie, 9, Meredith, 7, and Graham, 4.

“We hope this is the place our kids will always remember as home.

It’s a lot of work, and one day I’m sure they’ll have a bit of disdain for Christmas trees. Our hope, however, is that the fun memories of having a unique business will outweigh the gallons of sap we have to try to get out of everything. I guarantee they’ll never smell a Christmas tree without flashing back to the ‘Tree Co.,’” Katie laughs.

The farm has mostly firs, though pine and spruce were planted last year. The Sowders aim to plant at least 2,000 trees a year to play “catch up” from the years that no new trees went in the ground.

This past season, they sold all their available trees by early December.

“The goal is to sell responsibly so

Snowshoe enthusiasts head out on The Tree Co.’s 18-acre tree farm to get some winter exercise and time outdoors on Sunday, Feb. 14. Snowshoe rentals are now being provided by family-run business in Port Byron. when our trees catch up, we’ll be ready to go,” said Katie.

The 2020 season was less challenging than they anticipated, even with COVID measures in place. “People just wanted to do something as a family. Tradition dies hard, and even COVID couldn’t keep people from their Christmas traditions.”

And for the Sowders, the farm embodies the definition of wholesome family effort. Katie’s parents, Steve and Melissa Battern, are “team mow” during mowing season, and her dad can fix anything, having been crowned GM of the shop.

Sisters, in-laws, cousins, and friends have all jumped in when needed and asked, with the couple thankful for all the support as they pursue their vision.

Rob and Katie had close to zero tree experience prior to purchasing the farm, other than her high school summer job trimming Christmas trees - but that’s where the experience ends.

“We’ve learned more about the life cycle of a Christmas tree than we ever thought possible,” she said.

The trees provide a perfect backdrop for snowshoeing and other recreational pursuits on the lands.

Another off-season activity they host is TriForce group workouts during seasonal weather, for both youth and adults, with details at www.triforce.fit.

Sarah Ford/For Shaw Media

The Sowder family – Meredith, Rob, Callie, Katie, and Graham – smile for the camera in The Tree Co. barn before hosting a snowshoe outing on Sunday, Feb. 14.

More ideas for the farm are still in the works. “We’d love to put an event barn out here. We’ve done a couple engagements, as we have the best backdrop for photos, so why not? What a great place to tie the knot!” Katie said of the land.

They may also have Easter Egg hunts or Halloween parties since the

opportunities are really endless, she added. “We enjoy what we do and are always looking for ways to make it a better place to be!”

The Tree Co. is located at 21729 Rt. 2 & 92, Port Byron. Call 309-428-0613 or send a message through Facebook to schedule an outing.

BOYS BASKETBALL: FULTON 50, MORRISON 49

Fulton edges Morrison in season opener

By BRIAN WEIDMAN MORRISON – For a good portion of Fulton’s boys basketball game at Morrison on Tuesday, Feb. 9, players were looking for foul calls that never came during the physical battle.

It was fitting, then, that on the game’s pivotal play, a player hoping to hear a whistle didn’t. The end result was a 50-49 victory for the Steamers in the season opener for both teams.

“By no means are we in midseason form here, but it’s a win, baby, and we’ll take it,” Fulton coach RJ Coffey said. “It’s always like that when we come here. When we come to Morrison, we know they’re going to come out and compete real hard. Early in the season, it was going to be a little ugly.

Guys aren’t real sharp, but we got the job done.”

A back-and-forth fourth quarter came down to one play. With 4.6 seconds remaining and the Steamers up 50-49, the Mustangs had the ball. Nathan Helms inbounded the ball to Ashton Smith, who then fed T.C. Ottens, Morrison’s 6-foot-7 senior center, in the paint. Ottens turned and went up for a jumper from 8 feet, but the shot clanged off the backboard and drew iron but had little chance to go in.

Ottens immediately looked for a

Star of the game

Key performers

Connor Barnett, Fulton, 23 points, 4 steals foul, but no call came as the clock ran out.

“It could have gone either way when it gets down to a game like that,” Ottens said. “Those are the kind of plays that can happen. It can go either way. I wish I could have it over. I feel like I could have made it, but it is what it is. We can work to get better. When you lose by one point in the first game, there’s a lot you can do better. We’re looking to having a good year.”

The Mustangs trailed 42-33 entering the final quarter, but slowly chipped away at the deficit. Back-to-back buckets by Alex Anderson got Morrison to within 44-41 with 5:20 to go. Anderson made a layup with 3:08 left to get the Mustangs to within 46-45, but he missed the free throw on a potential three-point play.

Fulton’s Patrick Wiebenga scored

Kyler Pessman, Fulton, 15 points, 9 rebounds

T.C. Ottens, Morrison, 12 points, 7 rebounds

with 2:10 to go to give the Steamers a 48-45 lead, but Morrison’s Zack Eads responded with a short jumper at the 1:46 mark to bring his team back to within a point at 48-47.

Fulton then tried to run some clock, but Anderson picked the pocket of the Steamers’ Ian Wiebenga near midcourt and went in for a layup to give the Mustangs a 49-48 lead with 1:17 to go.

Fulton’s Patrick Wiebenga missed a layup with 56 seconds to go, giving Morrison possession of the ball with the lead. It turned out to be short-lived.

With 39 seconds left, after a Morrison timeout, Fulton’s Connor Barnett

came up with a steal on an inbounds pass. He dribbled nearly the length of the court for a possible layup and missed, but Kyler Pessman was there for the go-ahead putback with 29.1 seconds to go.

“Coach really wanted us to be aggressive and have them have the ball up front,” Barnett said of his defensive gem. “I was playing in the middle, and if they made a sloppy pass, I was just going to try to go after it and get the ball.”

Fulton led by a point (15-14) after one quarter. Morrison led by one (2423) at halftime. The smaller, quicker Steamers were able to speed the game up for a bit in the third quarter, and pulled out to as much as a nine-point lead twice, the last time at 44-35 with 6:48 left in the game before the Mustangs rallied.

Ottens led Morrison with 12 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two blocked shots. Anderson finished with 10 points, Trey Strating had nine points and five boards, and Helms added seven points, three rebounds and three assists.

Fulton’s Barnett led all scorers with 23 points, all in the first three quarters. He added four steals and three rebounds. Pessman finished with 15 points and nine rebounds.

FULTON HIGH SCHOOL

What are you involved in at Fulton High School?

I am involved in Band, Jazz Band, Keyclub, S.A.D.A., Thespians, and B.L.I.N.D. What are your hobbies outside of school?

Outside of school, I do dance. Some other hobbies of mine are dog training, hand making blankets, longboarding, crafting, and hanging out with friends and family.

What have you learned from this pandemic?

From this pandemic, I have learned that I should cherish my free time. I didn’t have much to do at the end of the school year last year, but I have since gotten a job over the summer and I have a small business that I now run.

Balancing two jobs and school has been a bit challenging, but it has taught me to take advantage of my free time when I have it.

How would you describe your leadership style?

I would describe my leadership style as supporting, as I like to have discussions with other people to come to a conclusion.

What has B.L.I.N.D. meant to you?

Rachael Bennett, Junior B.L.I.N.D. Leader To me, B.L.I.N.D. is a support group that helps the freshman transfer into their first year of high school. Becoming a freshman can sometimes be hard, but with B.L.I.N.D. there are people to talk to and to help you along the way.

One fun fact about you?

One fun fact about me is that I live in the country (not on a farm) with 25 acres of land.

Words of advice?

Some advice I would give is to always get assignments done when they are assigned. Procrastinating doesn’t help you at all. Just setting a time to do an assignment and telling yourself that you are going to finish it can really help you to keep your grades up.

SPOTLIGHT Saving strategiesas retirement draws near

(MS)

Professionals on the cusp of retirement are often excited about what lies ahead. Some prospective retirees may look forward to traveling once they no longer have to go to work each day, while others may plan to return to school.

Regardless of how adults envision spending their retirement, they’re going to need money when they’re no longer being paid by their employers.

As retirement nears, some professionals may be concerned that they haven’t saved enough.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer in regard to how much money people will need in retirement.

People who are worried they haven’t saved enough can try various strategies to build up their account balances before they officially call it a career.

• Take advantage of catch-up contributions. Adults who are 50 or older are eligible to take advantage of catch-up contributions.

These are designed to help people over 50 contribute more to certain retirement accounts, such as a 401(k) or IRA, than statutory limits would otherwise allow. There are limits that govern the amount of money people can designate as catch-up contributions, but taking

advantage of this perk can help people save more as retirement draws closer.

• Consider relocating. A recent study from the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that housing costs accounted for 49 percent of seniors’ spending. Professionals nearing retirement who live in areas traditionally associated with a high cost of living can begin to rethink their long-term housing strategy. Relocating to an area with a lower cost of living is one option, while those who prefer to remain in their current town or city can consider downsizing to a smaller home to reduce their property taxes and monthly utility bills.

• Continue investing. Conventional wisdom suggests moving away from investing in stocks the closer

you get to retirement. Though that’s a sound strategy, professionals who are trying to build their retirement savings in the final years before retiring could be missing out on significant growth by abandoning stocks entirely. Speak with a financial advisor about stockbased investments and your risk tolerance. Maintaining a diversified portfolio with a little risk can be a great way to grow your savings as retirement draws near.

Professionals approaching retirement may be dealing with a mix of excitement and anxiety, particularly if they’re concerned about their retirement savings.

Various strategies can help quell such anxiety and make it easier for professionals over 50 to build their savings as retirement nears.

What has B.L.I.N.D. meant to you?

I love B.L.I.N.D. because I have gotten to meet lots of great people through it. I like being able to meet other people

Being new can be really scary. I like that I am able to get to know the members of my group, too. It makes me happy to know that I am hopefully making a positive impact on others.

What is one fun fact about you?

I love animals, and I want to have a lot of them someday, especially a mini goat.

IHSA Speech is the only competitive opportunity in the state to have a full 2020-21 season. All competitions for this season have been in a virtual format, giving students opportunities to grow in their performances in public address and interpretative events.

Riverdale High School began its season with tournaments that were completely asynchronous, then moved into a hybrid model for tournaments, and is now competing in fully live virtual tournaments.

“Students of this team this year have done a tremendous job being flexible in all of the different ways they have been asked to compete this year.

They have had to use good time management and practice a great deal of patient when a tournament is experiencing some minor technical difficulties,” Coach Becky Butterfield said.

Riverdale students competed in seven virtual tournaments before heading into the IHSA State Series. Both novice and varsity team members celebrated success in tournaments. As a team, the Riverdale Rams placed third at the Galena Invitational.

On Saturday, Feb. 6, six members of the Riverdale Rams Speech Team competed virtually in the regional tournament hosted by Sterling High School.

“We are excited that all six competitors will be advancing on to the sectional tournament,” Butterfield said.

Congratulations to Julia Remour,

moment and to perform in such a way that they are proud of,” Butterfield said.

“Anything else that happens beyond that will all be a beautiful bonus.”

LEGACY OF ROCKS

Vail shares his passion for rocks, minerals

BY AMY ACHS Ron Vail, former Erie High School teacher, coach, Erie Elementary principal, Erie Middle School principal, grant writer, and ROE (Regional Office of Education) consultant, has another title in his list: rock hound.

Vail has been collecting fossils, rocks and minerals his whole life, starting in La Harpe, Illinois.

As a young teen, he was invited to go fossil hunting with his middle school science teacher, who happened to be friends with two men who would go on to be deans of the geology departments at Augustana College and Western Illinois University.

A fossil find by Vail is still on display in Tillman Hall on the WIU campus in Macomb.

For Vail, it has been a lifelong passion that he has been able to keep alive through teaching Earth Science classes at Erie High School and through developing and influencing state sci-

His donations to the museum continue Mr. Vail’s legacy of a lifetime of sharing these geological interests and his legacy of educating his community on the wonders and beauty of the Earth.”

Susan Wolf, assistant curator of the Fryxell Geology Museum ence standards throughout his career in education.

Vail has donated collections and sets of rocks and minerals to Erie science classrooms at all levels throughout the years and has given many teachers and districts in the area collections through his classes and contacts during his tenure at the ROE. In retirement, he has continued the tradition by donating many specimens to the Augus-

tana Geology Department and Fryxell Geology Museum this summer.

“The Fryxell Geology Museum and Augustana Geology Department thank Ron and Janet Vail for their exceptional generosity over the years,” said Susan Wolf, assistant curator of the museum. “His donations to the museum continue Mr. Vail’s legacy of a lifetime of sharing these geological interests and his legacy of educating his community on the wonders and beauty of the Earth.”

Wolf noted the variety of specimens in Vail’s collection indicated his broad knowledge and lifetime of dedication and skill in finding unique specimens.

“Not only do we appreciate Ron sharing his hand-collected and curated specimens, but also his incredible memory, record of provenance and curation skills made his donations Submitted photo

Continued from page 16 even more academically valuable,” Wolf said. “The pieces are wonderful additions to our museum and teaching collections and will spur on students’ excitement and future love of the natural world.”

Wolf said the museum appreciates Vail’s “lifelong dedication to education, generous support of Augustana’s Fryxell Geology Museum collections, and his lifelong friendship with the department.”

Most recently, Vail put together

rock and mineral collections to be used in Kate McConnell’s eighth grade classroom at Erie Middle School. Students will be able to work on identifying igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, metals, and rock forming minerals for many years to come.

“I love having the students discover science through hands-on activities, and these rocks made the lessons so much more engaging,” McConnell said. “The students had a great time sorting them, making predictions and learning about them. They truly understood the material on a deeper level with having real-life examples to connect to their learning.”

Students Ethan Daubman and Zachary Murphy study and identify rocks.
