New Growth: Love Light Tree starts anew

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

There’s new life for an old tradition, now that a beloved fixture on Main Street has returned.

The Prophetstown Love Light Tree has been planted, and preparations for this year’s lighting ceremony are underway.

After 33 years, the robust Blue Spruce that graced the square was removed in July 2020. Arborists said it lasted a few years longer than average, but due to its maturity and increased susceptibility to disease, the decision was made to remove the tree while paving the way for a new look on the square.

Now in its place is a Weber Spruce, which grows slower and is more disease resistant. This is the third tree planted at Eclipse Square Memorial Park since the Love Light Tree tradition began in 1993. Currently the tree stands a little over six feet, which is the height of the previous two trees when they were first planted.

The originators of the annual tradi-

tion were Glenda Sampson, Judy Bryan, and Lynn Gibson. Glenda saw a Love Light Tree in Rock Falls and wanted to bring one to her hometown, as a way to honor loved ones during the holiday season.

The newest evergreen was purchased by both Glenda and Janet Huizenga in honor of their late husbands – Kenny Huizenga, who owned and operated Prophet Gear, and “Doc” Darrel Sampson, who owned the Veterinary Clinic of Prophetstown.

Funds raised from the annual lighting of the tree are distributed to causes around town. The Love Light Tree committee was able to purchase new benches and trash receptacles to help “perk up the downtown” this past year.

Other projects include signs for the cemetery, banners for the town, and helping with various local projects in need of support.

But over the years, the mission of the non-profit has remained the same – to honor and remember loved ones through the purchase of a light, which costs $3. New committee members and

new ideas are also ensuring the mission lives on. The current Love Light Tree Committee consists of Susan Skelton, Carolyn Hohenboken, Andrea Aman, Pam Strike, Edwin Corona, and Stephanie Wankerl.

Besides the new tree being lit, lights will be on display around other areas of Eclipse Square this year. Organizers say this will enhance the Love Light Tree and create a beautiful setting for all to remember or honor their loved ones.

New strands of lights were purchased four years ago, so there is an abundance of lights to shine in the park.

Coupons to purchase lights can now be found throughout Prophetstown at downtown stores, the bank, Around Ptown, and in The Echo until the Nov. 13 deadline. No matter what, the lights will shine on Saturday, Nov. 28 at 5:30 p.m. Due to ongoing restrictions due to COVID-19, the ceremony details have not been finalized.

COVID-19 TESTING

WCCHC expands testing to five days a week Regional positivity rate increases In response to Region 1 positivity rate increasing, the Whiteside County Community Health Clinic (WCCHC) is adding additional hours and expanding testing to five days a week starting Sept. 28. Testing appointments at the Whiteside County Community Health Clinic will be available weekdays, Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Testing will be open to anyone regardless of symptoms or exposure, at no cost to the individual, and by appointment only. Individuals interested in testing should call 815-626-2230 extension 1243 to schedule a phone consultation and appointment for testing.

WCCHC is confident expanded testing will

facilitate quick identification and mitigation of outbreaks within our community, help students excluded from school return quickly and safely, and allow the clinic to be a resource for regional partners that may lack testing options.

Limiting the spread of COVID-19, and preventing Resurgence Mitigation measures, similar to

Phase 3, from being imposed on Region 1 will require more than just increased testing. It will require a continuous and conscious effort from all of us to follow guidance from our local Health Department and the CDC. This includes abiding by recommendations around masking and staying 6ft from those you do not live with, limiting the size of gatherings, working to keep several days between different social events, staying home and getting tested when you have symptoms of COVID-19 and working with local public health officials on contact tracing, isolation and quarantine after you or a contact test positive.

Stopping the spread of COVID-19 to protect each other and our local businesses is the responsibility of every resident.

If you have questions please contact the IDPH COVID-19 hotline at 1-800-889-3931 or reach out to us. Additional information is also available on the Illinois COVID-19 and CDC COVID-19 websites.

WEEKEND TOURS

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Now through Nov. 1, visitors are welcome to come and explore the beautiful, majestic Havencrest Castle in Savanna, where enchantment awaits all who enter. Instead of gargoyles and shadows, the castle is full of cherubs and beauty and art, with a theme of magic and romance and a love story that transcends time and space.

The castle, billed as a “romantic dream of love and art” is open to visitors on weekends in October, with tours offered from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The last tour is admitted at 4 p.m. but it’d be hard to see everything in an hour. The tours are self-guided, though you can dial into an audio tour in the rooms and hear owner Alan St. George share its history, and the inspiration behind the some of the masterpieces.

The castle home of St. George and his late wife Adrianne Blue Wakefield-St. George sits high on the bluff in the historic river town.

Parking is available in an off-street lot, and “castle cars” will escort you to the top of the hill to start the tour.

Tickets can be purchased at the Visitors Center before ascending the rest of the hill and making your way to explore this spectacular home.

It was originally built in 1872

by Simon Greenleaf and his wife Frances Jane; Simon established the Savanna Times, a weekly newspaper, and eventually became the owner and editor of the weekly Savanna Times-Journal newspaper, which is still published today. The home passed through the Greenleaf family and a few other occupants before it was purchased by the St. Georges in 1976.

After seeing the house together on Alan’s Golden birthday - November 23, 1975 - the St. Georges would sign and offer to purchase and put down the earnest money. They then slowly and meticulously shaped it into the fairy tale realm of their dreams. This included additions, expansions and quadrupling the mansion’s size in their 30 years together at the home. St. George is a world-renowned artist, painter and sculptor, and Adrianne was the visionary, decorator, and stainedglass artist.

After his wife’s passing in 2006, St. George grieved the loss for five years before delving into his contemporary art and completing the castle he and his wife started. It was then that he decided to open the castle to the public tours, seeing it as something his late wife would love.

Each room is lavished and infused

The timelessness of the decor and art transports guests to the past, where each room is like slipping through a portal to experience a place out of time and in a dream.

Add to that the smooth storytelling of St. George on the audio tour, and the experience becomes unforgettable.

Light flames flicker throughout the rooms, and occasionally the aroma of sweet floral scents fills the air. Walls are covered in velvet, and the St. Georges are incorporated into the artwork found in each room, whether in paintings or sculptures or with their treasured possessions on display. At every turn there is magic and mystery of a vision brought to life by a couple deeply in love and bound by the passion to create beauty in their world.

St. George said the castle exposes visitors to culture not readily available in Carroll County. “It features the world’s art and architecture.

From one room to the next, you’re in a different country, place, time.

I love variety, it really appeals to me,” he added. “People come from

far and wide. It’s such a joy, people are so kind, and it’s reflected back to me to keep doing this.”

New this season is the “Princess Gowns,” the Memorial Hall with full-size sculpture replicas from RMS Titanic, the completely finished Grand Ballroom, the “Romantic Walk” garden, and the Dragon Gazebo with the giant dragon head.

St. George is also working on a new room called the “Venus Grotto” and is inviting guests to “leave your mark for all time here” by

bringing a seashell, starfish or piece of coral to contribute; just leave the donation at the Visitors Center and you’ll also receive a free pass to see the Grotto when it’s open.

The castle is typically open during the months of May and October, though they couldn’t open this spring due to COVID-19 restrictions. However, they opened up a bit early for tours in September, with reduced capacity and social distancing measures in place.

General admission to tour the 25 rooms on two floors is $20, with veterans and children under 18 costing $15.

Children under 3 are free, and free crowns are given to kids to wear. The castle is not handicap accessible, and since there are stairs and inclines involved, it may be difficult for people with limited mobility.

The castle is listed as historically and architecturally significant by the Historic House Association of America. It is located at 140 N. 5th Street, Savanna. Find at more on Facebook or at havencrestcastle. com, and make plans to experience the magic and mystery yourself.

Continued from Page 6 Kenneth Prestley was born in Morrison on October 7, 1946, the son of Marge and Lee Prestley. He passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully, at home in Austin, Texas on September 11, 2020.

Creativity is definitely the dominant characteristic most associated with Ken by his friends, family and colleagues. His talents as an artist were obvious from an early age and were nurtured as he progressed through the Morrison school system, particularly under the guidance and encouragement of Betty Hall at Morrison High School.

After graduating, he went on to earn a degree in Art from Southern Illinois University. Over the course of his life, Ken continually sought to enhance his talents both as a commercial artist/illustrator and a fine artist, including study in New York and Paris.

Ken settled in the Quad Cites where

he built a successful career in commercial art and advertising, eventually running his own agencies over a number of years. Beyond his commitment to the arts, he was involved in numerous organizations, both professional and community-based, often contributing his talents to their cause.

As time passed, Ken’s interests shifted toward more emphasis on the fine arts. As part of that journey he opened a gallery and studio in LeClaire, Iowa. Ken saw his artistic talents as a story-telling device and particularly enjoyed his proximity to the river there, producing many paintings that celebrated life and culture along the Mississippi.

In later years, Ken relocated to Austin, Texas where he continued to create art.

He enjoyed the live music and active art scene of Austin, but Ken always considered Morrison and the Quad Cities to be his true home. Above all, Ken loved his connection to family and friends. He will be greatly missed by all.

Ken will be lovingly remembered by his son Clint (Lynette), granddaughter

Jessica (David) Kiel, grandson Sean (Catherine), two great grandchildren, brother Richard (Wenda) and niece Erin (Tom) Orlowski.

Ken donated his remains for research.

No formal services are planned at this time. Your condolences to the family and sharing of memories can be posted at www.bosmarenkes.com. Memorial donations in remembrance of Ken can be made to The Children’s Art Preservation Association (CAPA, C/O John Martin, P.O.Box 411, Morrison, IL 61270) or the American Cancer Society.

YOUR HEALTH

Osteomyelitis: Infection of the bone

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Osteomyelitis is a rare infection of the bone. It is sometimes difficult to diagnose because one may not pick up the condition until it is rather advanced, which is common for this condition. As the infection becomes more prominent there may be some more functional impairment or difficulty using that bone without significant discomfort. Fever may be a clue but is not often high early

on. Sometimes there is swelling in the area of infection. Meanwhile, in young children there may sometimes only be irritability or lethargy. There may be redness over the area if it is infected as well.

The transmission of this condition is sometimes a mystery. Sometimes it may rise from a nearby infection, sometimes from trauma. On occasion it may be seated from an infection somewhat distant by the bloodstream. Orthopedic surgery includ-

ing insertion of a foreign body to help repair the joints or bones may create a portal of entry or pathway for germs to enter. Also those with poor circulation have more risk such as those with advanced diabetes or other circulation problems.

Those with sickle cell disease are also at some increased risk. Dialysis has also be a contribution for some rare cases. Also those who use

Duane was born July 20, 1940, in Morrison, to Jacob and Inez (Vegter) VanOosten. He was educated in the Fenton Grade School in Fenton, and was a 1958 graduate of Erie High School in Erie.

8 To the Electors of the State of Illinois: The Illinois Constitution establishes a structure for government and laws. There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article.

The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective. The purpose of this document is to inform you of proposed changes to the Illinois Constitution and provide you with a brief explanation and a summary of the arguments in favor of and in opposition to the proposed amendment.

Proposed changes in the existing constitutional amendment are indicated by underscoring all new matter and by crossing with a line all matter which is to be deleted.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 3 OF ARTICLE IX OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE IX – REVENUE SECTION 3. LIMITATIONS ON INCOME TAXATION (a) The General Assembly shall provide by law for the rate or rates of any tax on or measured by income imposed by the State. A tax on or measured by income shall be at a non-graduated rate. At any one time there may be no more than one such tax imposed by the State for State purposes on individuals and one such tax so imposed on corporations. In any such tax imposed upon corporations the highest rate shall not exceed the highest rate imposed on individuals by more than a ratio of 8 to 5. (b) Laws imposing taxes on or measured by income may adopt by reference provisions of the laws and regulations of the United States, as they then exist or thereafter may be changed, for the purpose of arriving at the amount of income upon which the tax is imposed.

EXPLANATION The proposed amendment grants the State authority to impose higher income tax rates on higher income levels, which is how the federal government and a majority of other states do it. The amendment would remove the portion of the Revenue Article of the Illinois Constitution that is sometimes referred to as the "flat tax," that requires all taxes on income to be at the same rate. The amendment does not itself change tax rates. It gives the State the ability to impose higher tax rates on those with higher income levels and lower tax rates on those with middle or lower income levels. You are asked to decide whether the proposed amendment should become a part of the Illinois Constitution.

ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT Illinois' current tax system unfairly benefits millionaires and billionaires and this amendment will set things right for middle-class and working people. Currently, it is unfair that billionaires pay the same tax rate as regular people.

Voting "yes" on the amendment means that the State will enact a new tax structure where only those making above $250,000 a year will see their taxes go up. This amendment is simply upgrading Illinois' old tax system to a graduated system which is how the federal government and the majority of other states do it.

This Amendment Would Make Illinois' Tax System Fair.

Approval of this amendment would enact a fair system that allows the state to tax wealthy people at higher rates and lower income people at lower rates, replacing Illinois' current unfair tax system, in which wealthy people pay the exact same tax rate as lower and middle income people.

Illinois' current tax system unfairly benefits millionaires and billionaires, and approval of this amendment will set things right for the middle class and working people.

This amendment will help small business owners by creating a stable economic environment for their businesses to thrive.

While others try to mislead you, under the current tax system in Illinois, policymakers already have the authority to set any tax rate and to change tax rates at their will. The current system forces policymakers to charge the same tax rate to everyone, regardless of how much money they make. If this amendment passes, the State will have the ability to tax higher income earners at a different rate.

In fact, upon passage of this Amendment, a new tax structure will go into effect where 97% of taxpayers will pay the same or less, while only those making more than $250,000 a year will see a tax increase. This amendment does not tax retirement income.

The Federal Government and Most States Use the Graduated Tax System Proposed in this Amendment, Not the Unfair System Currently Used in Illinois.

Illinois is among a minority of states that do not utilize graduated tax rates because the Illinois Constitution requires a "flat tax" that penalizes middle-class and working people and benefits higher income individuals.

A majority of states and the federal government already use the kind of graduated income tax system proposed in this amendment to ensure that wealthy people pay their fair share of taxes.

Nearby states including Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin are among the majority of states that have graduated tax systems.

Illinois' Current Income Tax System Relies on Taxes from Middle and Lower Income Earners, While a Graduated System Would Lower that Burden and Fund Critical Programs such as Education and Human Services.

While some states have fair tax rates in which the highest income earners pay the highest tax rate, Illinois' "flat tax" rate continues to rely unfairly on taxes from middle and lower income earners.

Under Illinois' "flat tax" structure, a nurse making $50,000 per year pays the same tax rate as an executive making $4 million per year. A graduated tax rate would have the executive pay more.

Because of the way our current tax system is set up, the bottom fifth of Illinois taxpayers (those making below $21,800) contribute 14.4% of their income to state and local taxes, compared to 7.4% for the top 1 percent of Illinois taxpayers.

If this Amendment passes, the State has already enacted a new graduated tax structure where 97% of taxpayers will pay the same or less.

Under the new tax structure, only the top 3% of Illinois income earners would pay more in income taxes. Everyone who makes $250,000 or less a year would pay the same or less.

Over 95% of small businesses earn $250,000 or less a year in profits, and their owners will not see a tax increase under the new tax structure.

This change will generate additional revenue each year that can help address Illinois' budget deficit and fund critical programs, including the State's education system, public safety, and social services like mental health and substance abuse treatment and domestic violence shelters.

After the COVID-19 Pandemic, We Need to Do All We Can to Help the Economy and Middle-Class and Working People.

Working people and essential workers like nurses, first responders, and grocery store clerks should not pay the same tax rate as the wealthy. Nurses making $50,000 a year should not pay the same tax rate as an executive making $4,000,000 a year.

Having wealthy people pay more would reduce the burden on working families. This is money that middle and lower income people need for housing, groceries, medicine, and essentials.

When the wealthiest people pay more, middle and lower income earners can pay less while the State funds critical services that our essential workers rely on.

ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT 1) The Amendment gives the Legislature power to increase taxes on any group of taxpayers with no limits and no accountability and without any requirement to use the additional revenue to fund essential needs such as healthcare, education, or public safety.

2) Taxes and spending are out of control. The Legislature should not be allowed to keep raising taxes until they get their spending under control.

3) In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, now is the worst possible time for a massive tax increase.

The Amendment gives the Legislature power to increase taxes on any group of taxpayers with no limits and no accountability and without any requirement to use the additional revenue to fund essential needs such as healthcare, education, or public safety.

The proposed amendment would give the Legislature unlimited new authority to increase income tax rates on any group of taxpayers at will, including low-income and middle-income families and small business owners. There would be no limit on the number of tax brackets that could be created and no limit on how high tax rates could be increased on individual taxpayers. In addition, this proposed change will pave the way for a tax on retirement income.

Nothing in the amendment requires the Legislature to do anything to control spending. Nor does it require funds to be spent on essential needs such as healthcare, education, or public safety. It would simply give the Legislature a blank check to spend billions of dollars however they want, with no accountability.

Taxes and spending are out of control. The Legislature should not be allowed to keep raising taxes until they get their spending under control.

Illinois already has some of the highest property taxes and sales taxes in the nation. And the Legislature has increased Illinois income tax rates twice in the past decade to try to deal with the out-ofcontrol spending in Springfield.

Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, our state had a huge and growing multi-billion-dollar budget deficit, and the unfunded pension liability skyrocketed to over $137 billion. That's because the Legislature has continued to increase state spending instead of eliminating government waste, corruption, and abuse.

Because they refuse to control spending or pass major reforms, the Legislature will just continue to raise taxes on everyone in Illinois, and middle-class families will be their next target.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, now is the worst possible time for a massive tax increase.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused layoffs, unemployment, bankruptcies, and closures. As small businesses and local employers struggle to rebuild, this is the worst possible time to impose huge new tax increases. Even before the COVID-19 crisis, many residents and businesses were leaving the state because of the high tax burden. If the Amendment passes, it would be the last straw for thousands of small businesses, causing more jobs to leave the state, and making Illinois lose out on investments to rebuild our economy. This would mean fewer jobs and less opportunity for Illinois families.

RIVERDALE CROSS COUNTRY

Riverdale CC team Sept. recap

BY COACH KEVIN CLAUS On Tuesday, Sept. 22 the Riverdale cross country team snuck into a Western Big 6 meet with Alleman and United Township (UT) at Sylvan Island in Moline. We had already ran against Alleman twice this season, but this was our first time - and probably only time - running against the bigger 3A school of UT. Standing alone at the starting line between the two decently sized teams of Alleman and UT, Mattea Wuest (FR), master of trails, put together a solid race. The game plan was to focus on the last half of the race and she executed the plan perfectly, running her fastest last mile of any race she’s ran this season (7:47) to finish 12th overall with a time of 24:33.

Coming in as slight underdogs, the boys won the meet and pulled off an upset over UT by scoring 34 to UT’s 42 and Alleman’s 46. Tommy Murray (SO) looked cool, calm, and collected in this race. He and a UT runner led the race and ran stride-for-stride until about the halfway point when Tommy decided to make a move, which propelled him to a 42-second victory as he lowered his personal best to 16:23.

Landis Musser (SO), Caden Ludin (JR), Peyton Sand (SO), and Cam

Overton (JR) all ran somewhat together in the first part of the race.

Landis rolled through the first mile with a pack of three UT runners while Caden, Peyton, and Cam followed from less than 10 seconds back. Caden and Peyton closed the gap and caught up to Landis and the pack of UT runners between the first and second mile. In the last mile of the race, Landis, Caden, and Peyton surged and broke up the pack of UT runners before eventually finishing 6-7-8 with times of 18:14, 18:29, and 18:37. Cam came through as our 5th runner, finishing 12th overall with a time of 19:10.

Taking the pre-race advice of making a continual push in the middle of the race to heart, Cael Hinde (FR) executed a near perfect performance. Cael established good position early and continued to pass runners throughout the race before finishing 14th with a personal best of 20:00. Mitch Hasenour (SO) came in clutch as our 7th runner as he ran 22:18, a 28-second personal best (the largest PB of the day) to finish 24th overall. Caleb Bollinger (SO) tacked on some extra mileage by taking a wrong turn with about 600 meters to go. Caleb found his way back to the course and finished 26th with a time of 22:39.
