MJHS Special Education class receives mini-grant A Morrison Junior High Special Education class received a mini-grant from Bi-County Special Education Cooperative in the late fall. These funds have allowed students to learn important life skills in the community. The class has taken several trips to local stores, learning how to find items on their list, choose the best price and make a cash purchase.

Students are pictured in the Foods Room preparing healthy recipes. Some of their favorites are pancakes and bacon, granola bars and cookie mixes that students gave as Christmas gifts. Thanks to Bi-County for providing this educational opportunity.

Morrison Legion Memorial Day events and grand reopening American Legion Post 328 in Morrison invites the public to remember and honor veterans of the country during their annual Memorial Day commemorations on Monday, May 30.

Events will kick off at 10:30 a.m. with the Memorial Day parade heading west on Main Street and north on Genesee Street to Grove Hill Cemetery. Ceremonies at the Legion/VFW Pavilion at the cemetery include a keynote speaker, military music, placing of the wreath, three volleys and playing of taps.

After the ceremony, the public is invited to Morrison American Legion’s Open House at noon, with a Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting, military display table, Lions Club table, and pork chop sandwiches, sides, beverages and dessert. The open house will celebrate the completed renovations at the post, located

at 306 Main St. Nearly three years ago, Morrison’s Legion members embarked on a project to make a kitchen out of a room that had a mop sink and a 240v outlet for an oven.

They only worked a few hours on Monday nights. Between icy winters, COVID-19 and mostly elderly members, the project took longer than expected.

The kitchen was enlarged to make it an L-shape, but first they had to contend with a wall that was close to a foot thick because of layers of various type of insulation when the building used to be a meat locker. After the kitchen project was done, the members still had some energy and money remaining from a cashed-in CD, so they decided to enlarge the bathroom and add some amenities such as a shower, baby changing station and hot water.

Last year, the Morrison City Council

included the Legion’s block in the remaining Main Street upgrade project. Due to street construction and a dump truck catching electrical wires, the Post had a small fire with a lot of smoke in the attic and whole building. The construction company’s insurance covered all remaining repairs and clean-up costs, with Sjostrom & Sons Inc. completing the rest of the work.

Now the building is ready for its public debut, with this year’s event billed as the Grand Reopening Open House. The public is invited to remember and honor the fallen, celebrate the upgrades and partnerships between the Lions Club and the city, see the Avenue of Flags, and join in on the final block party sponsored by the Morrison Department of Fun. Visit morrisonamericanlegion.org or call 815-3100333 for more information.

FULTON

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Dutch Days Festival brought thousands of visitors to Fulton over the weekend, making it a perfect time for a soft opening of Bella Luna Resale Shop, situated right in the heart of downtown.

Owners Leslie and Paul Bates said Bella Luna is a one-of-a-kind shop with a plethora of previously owned items, and their weekend debut paid off. With household décor and home goods, knickknacks, clothing, kids’ items, vintage finds and a “men’s closet” in progress, a steady stream of shoppers browsed and bought while enjoying the downtown festivities.

Leslie and Paul Bates moved to Fulton from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, about six months ago to be closer to four of their five grandchildren who live in Fulton.

They both retired from the construction industry after 45 years – Paul as a project manager and Leslie in sales and management. They wanted to stay active and decided that a resale shop was a perfect fit post-retirement. Bella Luna means “beautiful moon,” with

“small-scale picking” quests allow them to go to places they’ve always wanted to go and find unique and quality items that people will enjoy.

The couple also were drawn to the economic development in Fulton, noting the cooperative vibe in the downtown. “The businesses support each other, which is very nice for a change.

And people want to get out and shop and support small businesses, so we’re excited to add another to the downtown,” Leslie said.

As downtown Fulton springs to life with the return of warmer weather, shoppers can add another stop by visiting Bella Luna for free coffee and a constantly changing inventory of fun, unique and affordable gifts.

The Digital Media Center at Seymour-Memreez Home Movies to DVD in Prophetstown allows business owners Michael and Michele Craft to conveniently convert older and outdated media to modern digital formats. The business specializes in transferring home movies and preserving family history.

Michael was in the process of building out the lower level of their Prophetstown home when Michele encouraged him to look at the recently vacated space on Washington Street. After viewing the former bank building, they soon signed a lease and began setting up.

“The power is exceptional,” he said, which he needs for the dozens of machines for the digitization process.

The Prophetstown location is the sixth and final store Michael wants to

build out. After years of commuting, the couple can now walk to work and avoid the long commute to their Davenport location, which they officially closed at the end of January this year. The remodeled lower level of their home will now be used as a family gathering space, especially for their seven children and eight grandchildren.

Their new store features walls decorated with vintage working cameras, projectors and other equipment from

As technology changes, so do the methods for accessing it, but a business in downtown Prophetstown aims to make vintage restoration and preservation of family memories an easy process.

Seymour-Memreez Home Movies to DVD opened at 314 Washington St. on Monday, May 2. Michael and Michele Craft have built their business around digitally transferring home movies, preserving family history and offering a way for people to relive their memories in modern digital format.

From their store in Prophetstown, the couple can digitize anything and everything and convert it to usable digital formats. “You name it, we do it,” Michael said. Every memory captured on VHS, floppy disks, old answering machines, vinyl, cellphones, audio and microcassettes, reels and more can be digitally transferred to a new format.

The Crafts also provide photo and document archiving for local and national businesses and institutions, with museums, historical societies and colleges entrusting them to digitize irreplaceable materials. Customers come from all over the country to hand deliver their source of memories and wait for their family history to be modernized.

The couple have many notable accomplishments in their field, having worked on colored footage of the Hindenburg, past presidents and celebrities. They’re currently working on converting materials for the Audie Murphy Museum in Texas. They digitized the analog versions of the PBS Hero Street series and are one of a few companies that use optical and magnetic sound, a specialty movie film transfer process.

The road to Prophetstown’s downtown started in 2012 when Michael was working at Radio Shack. A customer inquired about digitizing music from an 8-track to use as Alzheimer’s therapy for his father. As a musician and sound engineer, Michael understood analog and was able to convert it, with others soon hearing about the bonus service.

Michael realized he was onto something and in July, he opened Seymour-Memreez as a kiosk with three machines at Northland Mall in Sterling.

The business rapidly grew, with the pair eventually opening stores in the Sterling and Peru malls, and storefronts in Davenport and Clinton, Iowa. They even managed three locations at once but decided to minimize and “tone it down” when the pandemic hit, though they never stopped working. In volume, they broke every record for their company during the past two years and decided to move the business to their home.

the 1800s to 1930s, all donated by customers. Michael custom-built all the machines that fill the floor space, each with their own digitization specialty, from VHS to old cameras and camcorders to negatives and prints. A 1950s home movie loops on a television, with Michael noting how family films were very deliberate since film was so expensive.

For the Crafts, it’s the human element and individual stories that make their work so rewarding. Their business is a place that helps bring people back to their roots and makes an impact by transporting them to a simpler time or mending fractured relationships after years.

“Time has a way to ground you and put you back in perspective. The media helps you get back there,” Michael said.

Interacting with customers and living vicariously through their memories is “as real as it gets,” especially when viewing footage from simpler, happy times.

Every order has a story, and trust is essential in the line of work. “Customers can see the whole process, which sets us apart,” he said. The couple will explain their digitization methods so customers are comfortable, especially after holding onto family memories for years and getting one chance to restore.

There are always challenges, with Michael having to develop ways to salvage memories from broken cameras, moldy film or cases damaged by fire.

After recovery, customers often donate their devices so Michael can use it to help with the next customers. They’ve

YOUR HEALTH

A discussion on the importance of embracing stress

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON M.D. Ask yourself, if you were getting ready to have surgery, which would you rather have? A surgeon who has no stress or a surgeon who acknowledges and embraces their stress? The purpose of this article is to convince you that it is the latter surgeon that you should wish for and why it is important to embrace stress. Much of our traditional understanding about stress comes from research done by Dr. Hans Selye in the 1930s that showed how bad stress was on the system. That same doctor later demonstrated the importance of stress.

If you were told high stress was associated with a 40% higher risk of death, you may seek to avoid or minimize it. But you would be wrong. This information is well summarized by

Eric Barker in his blogs. He quotes from the book “The Upside of Stress,”

by Kelly McGonigal extensively. It is to be noted that this death rate in a long study only occurred if people thought that stress was bad for them. Those who did not think stress was bad for them and had stress actually had the lowest death rates.

Stressful situations produce the hormones adrenaline and cortisol, among others. The products of these hormones is associated with better performance.

This is why your surgeon is well served by these hormones. Even the process of aging is better served by these so-called stress hormones. Another way to describe stress is the response to caring about something that is at stake.

The interpretation of the stress is the key to how we respond and what happens to our body.

There are three ways to interpret stress. The first, as a threat; the second, as a challenge; and the third is to tend and befriend the process. The same hormones are produced in each setting. The wrong response to our own stress or someone else’s stress is to try to calm down. A better outcome for the individual is to embrace the energy and hormones that come from the stress. The simple reminder or mantra that stress is good can be quite helpful.

Naysayers about this theory may wonder about PTSD and those with significant social anxiety disorders. The studies show that those who had the highest stress hormone productions did the best and with less persistent PTSD than their counterparts. Even those with significant social anxiety fared better when their hormone levels of so-called stress were increased pro-

vided they viewed such stress as meaningful. Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl indirectly noted this in his experience inside a concentration camp in World War II. In summary, we may find stress working well for us by first acknowledging that it is present. Next, welcome stress as a response to something that we care about. Finally, we use the energy of the hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol to accomplish meaningful experiences. This may be greatly assisted by taking an inventory of resources that are available, past experiences, friends, colleagues, family or other community resources. Remember that unhappiness arises from shame and anger experiences associated with decreased joy and actually decreased stress. Happiness involves stress and proper interpretation.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report LYNDON IL1950300 Annual Water Quality Report for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2021 This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water system to provide safe drinking water.

The source of drinking water used by LYNDON is Ground Water For more information regarding this report contact: Name John Wright Phone 815-590-2098 Este informe contiene informacion muy importante sabre el agua que usted bebe. Traduzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

Source of Drinking Water The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: - Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

- Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming - Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.

- Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

- Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturallyoccurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4264791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Source Water Information Source Water Name Type of Water Report Status Location WELL 1 (11904) GW Active 107 6th Ave East WELL 2 (11905) GW Active 310 4th St East Source Water Assessment We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop by City Hall or call our water operator at 815-590-2098.

To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/ recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.

Source of Water: LYNDON Based on information obtained in a Well Site Survey published in 1991 by the Illinois EPA, several potential sources are located within 1,000 feet of the wells. The Illinois EPA has determined that the Lyndon Community Water Supply’s source water is not suspectibile to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including; monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and available hydrogeologic data on the wells. Furthermore, in anticipation of the U.S. EPA’s proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the Lyndon Community Water Supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability Waiver Process: the community’s wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper siting conditions; a hydraulic barrier exists which should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and the sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community’s wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should prevent the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics were not considered to be a significant factor in the susceptibility determination. Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this system ground water supply.

Ruffo earns IW Silver Service Cord and Microbadge Service Learning always has been a large part of the Iowa Wesleyan University experience. In the fall of 2021, the Silver Service Cord and the Service Learning Microbadge were implemented to recog-

nize students who serve and volunteer above and beyond their course requirements. To earn these honors at graduation, a student must complete a minimum number of service learning/volunteer hours outside of the classroom. Hours are accumulated over the semesters that a student attends Iowa Wesleyan and must not all come from a single activity or organization.

During the spring 2022 semester, IW students logged 583 hours of service (students logged 539 hours in the fall 2021 semester).

Six graduating seniors met the requirement for the Silver Service Cord and the Service Learning Microbadge, including Virginia Ruffo of Erie. Combined, the six seniors provided 328 hours of service during the 2021-2022 academic year to earn their silver cords and microbadges.

School board discusses possible sports complex lease

By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The city’s proposal for a sports complex lease agreement with MCUD 6 was a topic of discussion at the Board of Education meeting on Monday, April 25.

District and city staffers recently began discussions about signing an official lease. Superintendent Scott Vance said there’s been a “friendly gentleman’s agreement” since the complex was built but with changing dynamics and needed improvements, both sides need to decide on the future of the complex.

Vance noted that the playing fields are not up to par for school teams, and the fix will be costly. He questioned whether it’d be better to make a new field for the amount of work that needs to be done, especially the back field with drainage issues. Due to those conditions, the boys teams practice at the youth football field or south field at the high school.

The board agreed that both sides need to know the estimated costs to correct the drainage issues, plus a discovery phase about annual operating

and maintenance costs. The city currently provides manpower and ongoing maintenance at the complex and the district provides mowing.

“The city did everything they could to get us on the field, but they’re working with what they have,” Vance said.

“We need to consider what’s best for our district. It’s a difficult decision to make, but this is a good start in moving forward with discussions.”

In school reports, Northside received a $2,500 grant from the Morrison Area Community Foundation to help teachers with supplies. Vance thanked Danielle Mills for writing and submitting the grant and working with teachers to get classroom needs.

Southside had a book fair and family reading night during the first week of May. Thirty-seven junior high students recently returned from a fun and educational field trip to Washington, D.C. The board discussed a proposal to go back to traditional grading policy at Southside, with more information to be presented at the next meeting. After a 14-month pilot program, they voted to adopt a new elementary math curriculum for grades K-5 called Big

Ideas, which Vance called “easily adaptable and highly rated.” Vance also reported that overall school enrollment was at 977 students.

In buildings and grounds, work should begin this week or next to replace a section of the high school roof that sustained wind damage. The district filed an insurance claim, with estimated repair costs of $190,000.

Installation of playground swings soon will be completed.

The finance committee will discuss whether to issue an alternative revenue bond to pay for an HVAC project estimated at $1 million to $2 million, depending on supply issues. A recent network assessment, which looked at the district’s infrastructure, showed good results.

In upcoming meetings, the board will be drafting a multiyear District Improvement Plan to accomplish goals in academics, student support, finances and facilities. The plan will need to meet ESSER regulations, social-emotional needs of students and include a comprehensive list of capital projects.

In action items, the board approved an e-learning plan as presented,

approved transferring $200,000 from the working cash fund to the operational fund to cover normal operating expenses, approved renewal of a Linewize contract to filter online content for $8,046.50, and approved a memorandum of understanding with MEA for a concession manager, budgeting about $3,100 for stipends.

The board approved teacher probationary and tenure promotions, and accepted resignations of Korby Paul, Southside fifth grade, Gabrielle McCormick, high school agriculture, and Tyler Sutton, 6-12 instrumental music. They approved hiring Sarah Belander, Northside first grade, Devin Darsidan, Southside fifth grade, and Karen Mayberry, K-2 Math Interventionist.

The board also approved a resignation agreement with Morrison High School Principal Jeremy Keesee as presented, with two no votes, four yes and one abstain. Keesee has been with the district for three years and his resignation is effective June 30.

The board also recognized and thanked Sally Lindsey, who will be retiring as the high school guidance counselor at the end of the year.

A celebration of life for 58-year-old Kay Foster Nelson of Okeechobee, Florida,

‘United for Ukraine’

will be Sunday, May 15, 2022. Drop in between 2 and 4 p.m. at the Sigel Shelter, at the furthest end of Centennial Park in Rock Falls.

Kay was born August 10, 1963, in Sterling, Illinois to Thelma and Avlon “Al” Foster (both deceased). Kay passed away March 15, 2022, at Hamrick Hospice Home in Okeechobee, Florida.

Although not a scrapper growing up in Lyndon, Illinois, Kay fought cancer with all her might. Kay was kind and loving to everyone. Kay had a huge heart and was quick to forgive, not one to judge others. Kay was a hard worker all her life, and was really good with numbers. She loved animals, especially dogs. Kay also loved candy, ice cream, and music. Under her daddy’s persuasion, she was known to sing the song “Delta Dawn” as he strummed on his guitar.

Morrison High School junior and Key Club member Mark Cyphers traveled to Chicago on Sunday, May 1, to lend his support to the “United for Ukraine” initiative.

Over the weekend, American, Ukrainian and Polish volunteers packed backpacks with donated school supplies that will be shipped to Ukrainian children attending schools in Poland. Close to 200 backpacks in a Schaumburg warehouse are ready to be shipped overseas as result of the volunteers’ work.

Kay is survived by her older sisters, Kathy Foster Rick (Steve) and Jeanette Foster Gerlach (Mark), both of Rock Falls; daughters, Heather and Ashley Nelson; grandchildren, Mackenzie, Payton and Daniel; significant other, Jim Hancock and his father, Harold, all of Okeechobee, Florida; a niece; nephew; an aunt; and many cousins.

An E.T. movie poster signed by director Steven Spielberg is a memento from Michele’s youth. She was struck by a drunken driver and in a coma for six weeks. Her first words after awakening were “E.T. mommy” when she saw her mom’s shirt with the movie character on it. A local reporter picked up the story and Spielberg soon found out and sent her the gift, now on display at Seymour-Memreez.

ELECTION NOTICE Whiteside County Clerk, Dana Nelson, wishes to inform disabled and elderly voters ofthe many aids and provisions for assistance in voting at the upcoming election. Nelson said that her office welcomes inquiries by anyone who feels they may wish to take advantage of these aids at the June 28, 2022 General Primary Election.

Nelson reminds all Whiteside County citizens who are not registered voters, that Mail-in Voter Registration Applications are available on the Whiteside County website under documents and forms, at nearly all Post Offices in the County and online at www.elections.state.il.us and that those forms can be filled out and sent, by mail, to the County Clerk's office. For more information, contact the County Clerk's office at 815-772-5189. The voter registration deadlineis May 31, 2022.

Nelson stated that all voters may vote by mail, they need merely contact her office to request an application. After filing the application with the County Clerk's office, the ballot will be mailed to the voter at home, or wherever he or she may be at the time, along with complete instructions for voting and returning the voted ballot. Voters may request an application to vote by mail beginning now through June 23, 2022. Early voting is also available at the Courthouse in Morrison beginning May 19, 2022 through June 27, 2022.

Early voting will also be held at the Sterling Courthouse at 101 East Third Street on June 15, 16 and 17 from 9:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. each day. The only difference between early voting and vote by mail is that you would have to vote in person for early voting.

Another aspect to this law is the fact that on Election Day (if requested in advance), the Judges of Election are permitted to deliver a ballot to any voter who cannot get into the polling place. These judges may deliver the ballot to the voter at the point at which he or she is unable to continue toward the polling place as long as this point is within 50 feet of the Polling Place entrance. Any voter who desires to have the ballot delivered must have first filed an application with the County Clerk's office prior to election day. Assistance is also available in the polling place.

For further information on elections, voter registration, and the available assistance to elderly and disabled voters, contact the Whiteside County Clerk's Office in Morrison. Regular office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and the phone number is 815-772-5189.
