and Yahara River.

This challenge offers a fun opportunity for people to get outdoors for exercise and fresh air, while making an impact on their local community. Participants are encouraged to wear masks and follow physical distancing guidelines.

UPDATE

Body of missing Milledgeville woman found STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com The body of a Milledgeville woman, who was missing for three months, was found June 8 in a creek in rural Whiteside County.

The remains of Susan L. Redell, 62, were found by kayakers in Rock Creek, near Spring Valley Road near Coleta.

A cause of death has not been determined, and may never be, given the circumstances, Coroner Joe McDonald said. An autopsy was conducted and toxicology results are pending.

Redell was known to walk long distances, and also to become confused while on her walks, her family has said.

Redell was an LPN for several years and graduated from Morrison

She also taught and was a first-degree black belt in tae kwon do.

Survivors include her children, Scott Howard and Megan Cox, both of Milledgeville; her granddaughter Leighla Haag; and her siblings Donna Green of Tucson, Penny Redell of Tampico, Jack Redell of Rock Falls, Steve Redell of Milledgeville and Robert Redell of Tacoma,

WHITESIDE COUNTY

ISP: No obvious cause in inmate’s death Toxicology reports are still pending

By KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@saukvalley.com

No obvious cause of death was found during the autopsy of a Lyndon man who died June 10 while in custody at the Whiteside County Jail, and so now ISP investigators are waiting for toxicology results,

which likely will take several weeks.

In the meantime, inmates and staff are being interviewed and video footage is being reviewed, lead investiga- Timothy R. Rippy tor Lt. Chris Endress said this morning.

Timothy R. Rippy, 59, of Lyndon, who had an unidentified preexist-

ing medical condition, was found around 4:30 p.m., unresponsive, and and efforts by deputies and EMTs to revive him failed, Sheriff John Booker has said.

The ISP Division of Criminal Investigation is handling the investigation, which is the procedure when someone dies in custody of another law enforcement agency.

Rippy was arrested March 6 and charged in Whiteside County with possession of a stolen vehicle and burglary. He was free on a $60,000 recognizance bond when he was

charged June 3 with three more counts of burglary and being a felon in possession of a weapon in three other felony cases. He was being held on $100,000 bond.

Among others, he is survived by hi mother, Marilyn Rippy of Lyndon; his children Stacey Deboer and Tim Denning; and his siblings Sherrie Denning and Vicki, Jack, and Dave Rippy, all of Rock Falls, and Jim Rippy of Polo.

There will be no services. McDonald Funeral Home handled arrangements.

The closure will allow the Union Pacific (UP) Railroad to remove and replace the north track at their at-grade crossing located in this area.

Drivers are asked to be alert for the road closure and use alternate roadways when traveling this area. No detour will be marked.

Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through this area. To avoid the work area, when feasible, use of alternate routes should be considered.

Drivers are urged to pay close attention to changed conditions and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed

limits, refrain from using mobile devices and be alert for workers and equipment.

ROAD WORK Garden Plain Road closed The Illinois Department of Transportation announces that Garden Plain Road, approximately one-half mile west of Morrison, will be closed to all through traffic from Monday, June 22 through Friday, June 26.

2020 CENSUS

The results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding flow into communities every year for the next decade. That funding shapes many different aspects of every community, no matter the size, no matter the location.

Think of your morning commute: Census results influence highway planning and construction, as well

as grants for buses, subways, and other public transit systems.

Or think of your local schools: Census results help determine how money is allocated for the Head Start program and for grants that support teachers and special education.

The list goes on, including programs to support rural areas, to restore wildlife, to prevent child

abuse, to prepare for wildfires, and to provide housing assistance for older adults.

Results of completed Whiteside County 2020 Census to date are: Albany 69.3%, Coleta 69.1%, Cordova 67.8%, Erie 69.8%, Fulton 74.8%, Hillsdale 54.6%, Lyndon 65.7%, Morrison 73.9%, Port Byron 71.4%, Prophetstown 69.3%, Tampico 64.0%.

STATE POLICE

ISP conducting Special Traffic Enforcement Patrols

llinois State Police (ISP) District 1 Commander, Captain Matthew Hodgdon, has announced that the ISP will conduct Special Traffic Enforcement Patrols (sTEP) in Lee, Ogle and Whiteside Counties during the month of June.

The sTEP patrols allow the ISP to focus on these fatal four violations which contribute the greatest to traffic crashes and fatalities:

Driving Under the Influence (DUI); Safety Belt and Child Restraint use; Speeding; and Distracted Driving.

“The ISP will increase our daytime and nighttime patrols to ensure the safety of vehicle travelers through enforcement of all traffic safety laws.

Impaired driving is a factor in more than 30 per-

cent of traffic deaths in Illinois,” Hodgdon said in a press release. “ Likewise, speeding is a factor in nearly 35 percent of fatal crashes; and, nearly 50 percent of vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes were known to not be buckled up. “ The sTEP project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation.

FULTON - GLIMPSES OF THE PAST

60 Years June 23, 1960

40 Years June 18, 1980 Howard Swanson, member of Fulton Fire Department for more than 25 years and Fire Chief for 20 years has resigned. He has now been appointed to the board of trustees and is an honorary member of the department. Delbert Housenga has been apointed Fire Chief to succeed Swanson.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Winning Wheels Spotlight: Brian Fredrick Brian Fredrick, 41, is from Colona. Family members are his father Robert, his mother Janet, and an older sister, Kim. Brian worked for a period of time at The Abbey in Bettendorf (when it was a hotel) as their head pastry chef. He then worked at other restaurants as a chef.

Brian came to Winning Wheels because the facility is close to home, so his family is able to come visit often and he’s able to go on home visits over the weekends or visit for holidays. Also, Winning Wheels works with those with spinal cord injuries, so that was another reason he made it his home away from home.

Brian’s favorite Winning Wheels activities are going to restaurants throughout the community for outings, as well as enjoying the sun outside in the courtyards.

Brian’s hobbies are listening to music, going to concerts, and spending time with family. His favorite food is pizza from either Wise Guys

or Franks. His favorite TV show is “anything on the HGTV channel!”

Brian says that every Memorial Day weekend (except for this past one because of COVID), he goes to the Summer Camp Music Festival in Chillicothe.

Plain principal, $25,800.

30 Years June 20, 1990 Mrs. Debra Kay Duhr, newly appointed head librarian at the Schmaling Memorial Library will be assuming her new duties on June 5. Mrs. Duhr has been hired in a part time capacity and will work with the other librarians in providing library service to the community.

Presiding Judge James Heiple of the Third District Appellate Court in Ottowa upheld all the decisions of Whiteside County Circuit Court Martin Conway in the City of Fulton vs. Englehorn lawsuit. The lawsuit, widely known as the Marina Case has been in the courts since November 1983, and if all parties agree to the Appellate Court’s decision, the case may soon be over.

20 Years June 21, 2000 The Fulton Chamber of Commerce members elected Bill Brink-

man, Gary Hayenga and Beth Jordan to a three year term as members of the Board of Directors of the organization.

Fulton’s downtown area will soon see a new business called Spoony’s (Grill & Ice Cream) Shop on the corner of Tenth Avenue and Fifth Street. The business will be operated by Tom and Shelly Field. The new 1,551 sq. ft. handicap accessible building is scheduled to be opened by mid-September.

10 Years June 23, 2010 The annual Fulton Chamber of Commerce Membership Dinner was held at the Agri-King Del Curley Conference Room. Heather Bennett presents a plaque to the 2010 Fulton Chamer Volunteers of the Year, Betty and Harlan Wiebenga.

Merema Brothers, local Massey-Ferguson dealer, was listed in the “Top 20” of a contest held in April. “Top 20” were chosen from the amount of tractors sold by each dealer. Winning dealers won a fishing trip to the northwoods.

Fifty Years June 24, 1970 Henry Norman, an executive at the Fulton Corporation and its predecessor, the Patent Novelty Company, has left the company and is exploring other business opportunities. He had worked for the company for 33 years as factory superintendent and purchasing agent.

About 30 residents attended a

State announces community-based testing sites The State of Illinois is opening its community-based testing sites to anyone to get tested, regardless of symptoms or other criteria. As we move through the Restore Illinois plan, and into a full reopening of the state, testing will be crucial to identifying new cases and taking immediate action to prevent additional spread.

No appointment, doctor referral, or insurance is needed at state oper-

ated drive-thru sites and testing is available at no cost to the individual.

The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is recommending anyone who has recently been part of a mass gathering, including rallies and protests over the past week, get tested for coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

“As people gather in large crowds with varying degrees of social distancing, there is cause for concern

those people are quarantined and not exposing other individuals.”

The virus has been found to spread between people up to a couple days before people start showing symptoms. Because of this, the number of people an infected person could unknowingly expose can be exponential.

A list of public and private testing sites can be found on the IDPH website at www.dph.illinois.gov/testing.

about COVID-19 spread and outbreaks, especially if masks were not worn universally,” said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “I urge anyone who recently attended a rally, protest, or other mass gathering to get tested for COVID-19 so we can identify any cases early. We recommend testing 5-7 days after participating in large group rallies, or immediately if symptoms develop. If there are known cases, we can make sure

Agriculture risk coverage, price loss coverage programs Enrollment to be completed by June 30 Agricultural producers who have not yet enrolled in the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) or Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs for 2020 must do so by June 30.

Although program elections for the 2020 crop year remain the same as elections made for 2019, all producers need to contact their local USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) office to sign a 2020 enrollment contract.

“The Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage programs are critical safety-net programs for farmers, helping producers weather

market distortions resulting from natural disasters, trade disruptions and, this year, a pandemic,” said FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce.“Contact your FSA county office today to complete enrollment before June 30. This can be done in concert with filing your acreage report and applying for other FSA programs.”

To date, more than 1.4 million ARC and PLC contracts have been signed for the 2020 crop year.

This represents 89 percent of expected enrollment.FSA will send reminder postcards to producers who, according to agency records, have not yet submitted signed contracts for ARC or PLC for the 2020 crop year.

Producers who do not complete enrollment by close of business local time on Tuesday, June 30, 2020 will not be enrolled in ARC or PLC for the 2020 crop year and will

be ineligible to receive a payment should one trigger for an eligible crop.

ARC and PLC contracts can be mailed or emailed to producers for signature depending on producer preference. Signed contracts can be mailed or emailed back to FSA or, arrangements can be made in advance with FSA to drop off signed contracts at the FSA county office – call ahead for local drop off and other options available for submitting signed contracts electronically.

Producers are eligible to enroll on farms with base acres for the following commodities: barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium- and short-grain rice, safflower seed, seed cotton, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat.

For more information on ARC and PLC including web-based decision tools, visit farmers.gov/arcplc.

USDA Service Centers, including FSA county offices, are open for business by phone only, and field work will continue with appropriate social distancing.

While program delivery staff will continue to come into the office, they will be working with producers by phone and using online tools whenever possible.All Service Center visitors wishing to conduct business with the FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service or any other Service Center agency are required to call their Service Center to schedule a phone appointment.More information can be found at farmers.gov/coronavirus.

Visit offices.usda.gov to find location and contact information for the nearest FSA county office.

FSA county committee nominations open June 15 USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) began accepting nominations for county committee members on Monday, June 15 Elections will occur in certain Local Administrative Areas (LAA) for these members who make important decisions about how federal farm programs are administered locally.

All nomination forms for the 2020 election must be postmarked or received in the local FSA office by Aug. 1.

“I encourage America’s farmers, ranchers and forest stewards to nominate candidates to lead, serve

and represent their community on their county committee,” FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce said. “There’s an increasing need for diverse representation, including underserved producers, which includes beginning, women and minority farmers and ranchers.”

Agricultural producers who participate or cooperate in an FSA program, and reside in the LAA that is up for election this year, may be nominated for candidacy for the county committee.Individuals may nominate themselves or others, and organizations, including those representing beginning, women and

minority producers, also may nominate candidates.

Committee members are vital to how FSA carries out disaster programs, as well as conservation, commodity and price support programs, county office employment and other agricultural issues.

Nationwide, more than 7,700 dedicated members of the agricultural community serve on FSA county committees. The committees are made of three members and typically meet once a month.Members serve three-year terms. Producers serving on FSA county committees play a critical role in the day-to-day

operations of the agency.

Producers should contact their local FSA office today to find out how to get involved in their county’s election.

Check with your local USDA service center to see if your LAA is up for election this year.

To be considered, a producer must sign an FSA-669A nomination form.

The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available at fsa.usda.gov/ elections.

Election ballots will be mailed to eligible voters beginning Nov. 2.

Two national organizations that promote farmers agreed to work together and connect buyers with farmers who served or are currently in the military. Illinois will be one of five states hosting a pilot project for the new partners.

Illinois Farm Bureau is a partner with both Farmer Veteran Coalition and Food MarketMaker, an interactive database of farmer sellers, food business and consumer buyers.

The Illinois Chapter of the Farmer Veteran Coalition launched last year during the IFB annual meeting in Chicago.

In an agreement signed in late May, the two organizations agreed

to promote sales of products grown or produced by farmers currently serving in the military or those who previously served. In addition to Illinois, pilot projects will occur in Arkansas, Michigan, South Carolina and Virginia.

For members of the Farmer Veteran Coalition, the biggest advantage of working with the nationwide, established ag database is helping first-generation farmers and those with small farming operations connect with buyers

in a virtual marketplace, according to Natalie Monroe, the coalition’s communications director.

MarketMaker recently launched an e-commerce platform for Illinois farmers with accounts on the database.

Participating farmers may provide information at no cost about their operations and products.

The information is shared simultaneously with partners, including IFB, Illinois Farmers Market

Association and Illinois Specialty Growers Association. Farmers pay a small transaction fee for each order they receive.

Dar Knipe, MarketMaker co-founder and director, said, “We have wanted to see this partnership with Farmer Veteran Coalition happen for a long time. We are excited for the opportunity to help farmer veterans connect to new markets.”

IFB supports veterans interested in careers in food, farming and agriculture.
