Morrison Community Blood Drive program leader The American Red Cross Morrison Community Blood Drive took place Sept. 16 at St. Mary’s Church. WaTanYe was the sponsor for the drive, purchasing and preparing the sandwiches and cookies given to the donors post-donation. WaTanYe members who participated were Jan Horberg, Joan Wiebenga, Nancy Usterbowski, Ann Camp, Monica Anderson and Mary Ellen Brackemyer.

Special recognition to trustworthy Knights of Columbus Knight Terry Hoehn, who readied the hall the evening before and returned after the drive to put everything back in place. Appreciation to the proficient ARC-certified volunteer Pat Pendgraft, who is always a huge help to everyone in the room. Extraordinary gratitude to my faithful “star” volunteers, Mary and Vern Latwesen, who helped throughout the entire drive.

The ARC goal for the drive was 58 good units, but we fell short. There were 53 wonderful donors who came through the doors, and I am thankful for every one of them.

We had 51 good units retrieved, which is about 88% efficiency. Six donors had to be deferred because of low hemoglobin, most missing by just 0.1 to 0.2 points. That does not mean these six were anemic; it just means their blood count was not high enough to donate, and thus, they are not anemic when they leave after giving a pint of blood. I encourage anyone who has ever been deferred for low hemoglobin (including myself) to take an over-the-counter iron tablet daily for a few days before donating. We also had six people who were scheduled but did not make it.

Out of the 53 donors, 11 of them were scheduled for double red cells/Power Reds, which is giving two units of packed RBCs. They only donate three times a year. The terrific people were Vern Latwesen, Jill Bramm, James “Dave” Boyles, Ron Shank, Dick Wieneke, Dale Belt and three people who did not want their names published.

The wonderfully generous whole blood donors who came in to give of their time and blood products were Stephanie Vavra, Lorna Temple, Teresa Slagle, Joan VanderBleek, Larry Tichler, Trish Kingery, Cheryl Geiger, Mark Schuler, Mary Latwesen, Pam Shank, Luke VanderBleek, Deb Adolph, Chris Hawkins, Beth Wroble,

Steve Hook, Darlene Hook, Nancy Bartels, Kirk Pfeiffer, Christina Saville, Brad Bielema, Mathew Newman, Dave Temple, Tim West, Joe R. Bielema, Nancy Shank, Connie Swanson-Despain, Susan Gomez, Kaywyn Beswick and nine others who did not want their names published.

The next ARC community blood drive will be from noon to 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 18, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 13320 Garden Plain Road in Morrison. The sponsor will be the Council of Catholic Women at St. Mary Church. Bring your spouse, a friend, a coworker, or a neighbor. We have good food, great music and a rewarding atmosphere!

FULTON

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Fulton will be getting a brewpub next year after the city council approved a bid for the land during their continuation meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 12.

The council authorized the sale of municipally owned real estate to Fulton residents Manreet and Melanie Kalyan for $3,001, plus $1,500 to defray the seller’s cost. Theirs was the only bid received at the last meeting for the vacant lot at the intersection of 4th St. and 10th Ave. The couple plan to build a brewpub on the downtown lot, along with a half kitchen for food service. They told the council their plan is to offer craft brews, appetizers, wine, cocktails, and other food and drink specials. “Start small, think big,” said Melanie of their goals for the prime location.

Any parking spaces designated near the brewery will be available for all patrons to the downtown district, the council and the couple agreed.

The Kalyan’s hope to break ground in spring of 2022 and open later in the fall.

Alderman Barb Mask asked for specifics of the brewpub plans, but

the Kalyan’s declined to offer more details at the time, such as the business name, saying they want to tie the brewery into the local scene and have it to be a surprise to the community.

Melanie said she was born and raised in Fulton, and her grandparents Henry and Doris Kramer previously owned and published the Fulton Journal. She is an associate Human Resources Manager and Manreet is a pharmacist.

When the council took the vote, Mask and Dan Nederhoff voted no due to the lack of presentation to the council, though both were supportive of a new downtown business. Mayor Wendy Ottens said it was an awesome idea and one that members of countywide economic development meetings were “jealous of,” before giving her yes vote.

The other item up for a vote was to amend the council’s meeting dates from one meeting a month back to two. Mask said the council serves the people and two meetings a month ensures timely action. Others on the council felt that they could call a special meeting if need be, and preferred the one meeting a month format. In the vote to keep the meeting schedule as is, both Mask and Nederhoff voted no.

First Reformed Church carries on missions at home For more than two decades, First Reformed Church of Fulton has sent teams to Grace Covenant Ministries in Annville, Kentucky. For the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic had put a halt to those plans, but this year, the servants at First Reformed Church would not be denied the chance to serve. They served people locally who had a need. The group caulked a shed, trimmed bushes, weeded flower beds, washed screens and windows, raked yards, cleaned out gutters, cleaned out rafters and did many other jobs. Serving locally were Nancy Dykstra (front row, left) and Peggy Kilburg, Candi Schipper (middle row, left) and Brenda Sheckler and Art Kilburg (back row, left) and Ken Vanderploeg.

Morrison hospital to celebrate $20.5 million expansion with open house 5 kschultz@shawmedia.com

MORRISON – An idea that began as a doodle on a napkin five years ago and morphed into a $20.5 million Morrison Community Hospital expansion is culminating in an open house Oct. 24.

After two years of sawing and hammering, digging and pouring, painting and polishing, the 80,000-square-foot expansion/renovation at MCH, 303 N. Jackson St., is complete and right on time.

The project included a new helipad; a new emergency department featuring five additional bays on the north side of the building, one of which is a trauma bay; an ambulance canopy; and an additional operating room on the east side of the hospital along Jackson Street.

There’s a new three-level facility on the south side with control room and maintenance equipment storage on the first floor, a conference room/board room and rehab department on the second floor and eight new medical surgical rooms on the top floor.

Existing offices were remodeled, and billing and medical records got new offices, as did many doctors. The old doctors offices now are waiting rooms.

The lab was moved to the front of the hospital to provide better patient

Steve Siefken for Shaw Media

Morrison Community Hospital invites the public to tour its newly expanded facility at an open house from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 24. access. The radiology department is larger, and a new entranceway was built with a canopy drop-off area and exterior heating.

The rebirth of the nonprofit, cityowned hospital grew from modest beginnings. More than five years ago during a chat in the cafe, MCH Board Chairman Don Beswick drew a what-if

expansion design on a napkin. Chats continued and the plans were redrawn on cardboard, then transferred to graph paper. In October 2016, the hospital announced plans to build a $6 million ED expansion and fundraising began in earnest.

At the same time, a feasibility study was conducted that determined, to

everyone’s surprise, “you’re not aiming big enough,” Marketing Director Mick Welding said. What was needed was a new, larger space for orthopedic surgeries, the study said.

The $6 million expansion became a $20 million expansion that the community is invited to tour at the open house, which will be from noon to 6 p.m. Oct. 24. A ribbon-cutting will take place at 12:45 p.m., and there will be live music, meals and desserts.

More than 1,000 people are expected to attend, including state Reps. Tony McCombie, R-Savanna, and Neal Anderson, R-Rock Island.

The expansion also applies to staff.

MCH is hiring clinical and nonclinical workers. Positions are posted at www. morrisonhospital.com. Nursing applicants can contact Sherri Garcia, chief nursing officer, at sgarcia@mchstaff. com or 815-772-5524 for information on those positions.

A low-interest loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture paid for the project.

Donations to help pay the loan can be made at morrisonhospital.com or sent to Morrison Community Hospital Foundation, 303 N. Jackson St., Morrison IL, 61270. Call Marketing Director Mick Welding at 815-772-5510 for information.

The Whit es ide Coun ty Healt h Department was awarded $644,936 from a pool of $35 million in federal American Rescue Plan money divvied up between 42 community health centers in Illinois.

The money is earmarked for agencies “to modernize their health care

The county runs a federally funded community health clinic at 1300 W. Second St. in Rock Falls.

“CHCs will use this funding for COVID-19-related capital needs, constructing new facilities, renovating

and expanding existing facilities to enhance response to pandemics and purchasing new state-of-the-art equipment, including telehealth technology, mobile medical vans and freezers to store vaccines,” delegation members said in the release.

The American Rescue Plan Act, passed in March, provides $1.9 trillion to help speed recovery from the health and economic effects of the pandemic.

GLIMPSES OF THE PAST - FULTON

1961: Unruly crowd marches across Lyons bridge to Fulton 60 Years

Oct. 18, 1961

Contracts have been let by the Board of Education of Fulton Community High School for building and equipping an addition to the bus garage located on high school property. The low bid came from George Wiebenga, a Fulton contractor, with a bid of $11,000.

A crowd of about 400 to 500 marched across the Lyons bridge after the snake dance in Clinton, Iowa. A Clinton officer alerted Officer Reedy and he was at the tollhouse when they got there. He asked them where they were going and was told, “We’re going to tear Fulton apart and cross the south bridge back to Clinton.” Reedy called four other officers to help. A youth swung at Officer Van Dellen, Reedy said, and Van Dellen responded with one blow with a blackjack. This seemed to discourage the marchers and convince them that the Fulton officers meant business, so they returned to Clinton.

50 Years

Oct. 20, 1971

Albany United Methodist Church held groundbreaking ceremonies for a new sanctuary and educational unit.

The first shovel was turned over on the 3 1/2-acre building site, marking the

beginning of construction of a $120,000 all steel structure. Harold “Bud” Burns, lay leader of the church, turned over the first spade of dirt.

The Fulton City Council voted to accept the low bid of $109,970 by Lakin Construction Co. of Clinton, Iowa, for construction of a new boat harbor for Fulton.

40 Years

Oct. 21, 1981

Golfer of the week is Tim Holl, who played first man all year. His high finishes for the year were second at conference, first at district, tied for sixth at sectionals and a sixth-place finish at the state tournament. Holl had the best and lowest average of 38.5.

If the Fulton City Council approves an ordinance it has asked the city attorney to prepare, Fulton residents soon will be paying $75 instead of $15 for having city water service extended to a new home and $125 instead of $15 for city sewer service extended to a new home.

30 Years

Oct. 9, 1991

The National Fire Safety Council awarded the Fulton Fire Protection District with a special plaque for the depart-

ment participating 10 years in the council’s program. Accepting the plaque were Fulton firemen Steve Meyer, Boyd Van Dellen and Ken Houzenga.

Mrs. Anni Johnson of Fulton is a representative of Trans Designs, a new business that opened in the Clinton area offering interior decoration products and free consultation service for homes and offices. She earned a diploma in creative home decorating from LaSalle Extension University in 1981 and has completed additional studies from the University of Illinois and training with Trans Designs.

20 Years

Oct. 17, 2001

Although no anthrax was detected, two businesses in Fulton got a bit of a scare proving the city could be a target.

The Fulton Journal received a letter that was deemed dangerous. Police made an examination of the envelope in which a skull and crossbones were noticed on the inside contents. Eagle River Liquor also received an unusual envelope. It contained some sort of vial.

Final preparations are being made by the congregation of Fulton Presbyterian Church to move into their new home. Carpets have been installed,

cabinets have been hung and walls have been painted. A new organ has been purchased and will be ready for its first performance Sunday, Oct. 28.

The service will begin at the current church and midway through the service the congregation will drive to the new location at 311 N. Ninth Street, where the remainder of the service will be conducted.

10 Years

Oct. 19, 2011

Ray Borgman presented the Kiwanian of the Year award to Ron Vogel.

Nominator Borgman said, “Ron is there every week and serves our club as one of the two secretaries. He spearheads all the projects at Heritage Canyon, he helps with recycling projects and he delivers mobile meals. Ron never lets any physical impairment he has interfere with his service to our club.”

City records, stored in a vault at Fulton City Hall, have been donated to the Fulton (Martin House) Museum. The records were no longer needed or used by administrative staff, but serve as a resource for genealogy. City Administrator Randy Balk handed over the historic records to Fulton Historical Society members John Wierema and Harvey Geerts.

YOUR HEALTH

Celiac disease or gluten sensitive enteropathy is discussed

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Celiac disease, also known as celiac sprue or gluten sensitive enteropathy, is a condition involving the intestines.

With this condition, the intestines swell as a reaction to a protein called gluten that is found in wheat, barley and rye.

The condition often is inherited. It may take a trigger to set off the condition, such as a virus, major surgery or extreme stress. Occasionally, it is linked to other conditions such as thyroid disease and diabetes.

Early in life, babies may present

with diarrhea and inadequate weight gain. Older children and adults may have diarrhea or greasy stools, occasional constipation or hard stools.

Some have only gas or bloating. This makes the condition look like the more common irritable bowel syndrome.

Heartburn and mouth ulcers sometimes are associated. Some people have an itchy rash called dermatitis.

Anemia may be associated with the condition, especially iron deficiency anemia. Osteoporosis frequently is seen. Some cancers and lymphomas are common in people with celiac disease.

The condition is first suspected on

clinical grounds that do not respond to treatments for other common conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome.

Your doctor may send you to a specialist known as a gastroenterologist for scoping and possibly biopsies. If you have a skin rash, a dermatologist may be helpful.

Also keep in mind that today’s bread and other products may contain a newer type of gluten than what is tested. The upshot is that a negative test for gluten does not mean that you’re not sensitive to the modern products.

The main treatment is to remove gluten from your diet. This means

avoiding wheat, barley and rye. On the other hand, products made of rice, corn or soy flower are safe to eat if no gluten has been added to them. Unfortunately, many foods have hidden gluten in their preparation. Most people will feel better within a few months of being on a gluten-free diet. In fact, staying on such a diet may undo most, if not all, of the damage caused by the condition.

The process needs to be maintained lifelong to lessen the risk for not only the symptoms but also osteoporosis, cancers, anemia, etc.

A website for this condition is www. csaceliacs.org.

Morrison makes the plays to top Riverdale TROY E. TAYLOR

ttaylor@shawmedia.com Morrison put the ball into the hands of a pair of sophomores – Carson Strating and Chase Newman – and they didn’t disappoint.

The Mustangs beat Riverdale 34-14 on Friday in Three Rivers Conference play. Morrison won for the second time this season, while Riverdale remains winless.

“Credit to these guys, because things haven’t always gone our way this year,” said Morrison coach Steve Snider. “Ball has bounced the wrong way. We haven’t played well.

Things have been against us a couple of times. Now it’s nice to have one pay off.”

Snider said it was the playbook work of Strating and Newman that earned the trust of their coach and teammates.

“They came to my room every morning this week for a half-hour, and we sat down and digested some tape and we looked at things they were going to get,” he said. “Lo and behold, two of the guys that had some of the biggest nights tonight were those guys.

“We’ve got two special kids.”

Strating had 23 carries for 104 yards, and he scored twice, on a 3-yard run and on his only pass reception.

Newman, a receiver, was the favorite target of quarterback Danny Mouw. He had six catches for 95 yards.

But it was his pass reception in the end zone as the first half expired that was the most electrifying play.

From the 26, Mouw took the snap with 2.9 seconds on the clock and tossed it to where two receivers tracked in on the ball. Harassed by defenders, Newman leaped up and hauled in Mouw’s pass.

It not only put Morrison ahead 28-14 at half, it set the tone for the remainder of the contest.

Morrison’s defense twice sacked Riverdale’s quarterback, and also covered two fumbles.

Morrison added one more score in the second half. From the 3, Alex Anderson took the handoff and ran to the outside, then broke for the end zone.

Anderson finished with 13 carries and 117 yards.

The first half had more give and take, as Riverdale tried to answer each time Morrison scored.

Morrison scored again early in the second period, as Strating ran it in from the 3-yard line. The point-after attempt failed.

R iv er da le q u ar terbac k Ga ge Hugart broke free with a run right, then rambled down the sideline for 43 yards and a touchdown at 10:08 of the second quarter.

Mouw, who completed his first six passes, then connected from 6 yards out Strating at 5:08 of the second quarter.

With 1:03 left, Hugart heaved the ball to Cole Jennings, who caught it on the run and raced down field for a 79-yard touchdown. The point after run was good.

That’s when Morrison answered as time expired in the first half. It covered Riverdale’s attempt on an onside kick, then a 15-yard run by Thomas Dauphin and good runs by Anderson put Morrison within striking distance.

The teams close out their schedules next week. Riverdale is home against Sherrard, while Morrison is on the road against Erie-Prophetstown.

Meet Morrison High School Meet Fulton High School B.L.I.N.D. leader Cailyn Piercy B.L.I.N.D. leader Katie Eggemeyer How has B.L.I.N.D. impacted your life?

B.L.I.N.D. has impacted my life in a powerful way. I have learned to take charge and be a leader when I need to.

I have also learned to work well with others and care about other people.

How has B.L.I.N.D. impacted your life?

B.L.I.N.D. has created an environment for me to express my ideas and find ways to better my community. I have met so many new people and made new friends. This program also allows the surrounding towns to become more united.

What advice would you give to freshmen that would encourage them to pursue becoming a B.L.I.N.D. leader?

I would encourage all freshmen to get involved with as much as they can.

It really does help to be a part of many different groups and have goals for yourself.

What advice would you give to freshmen that would encourage them to pursue becoming a B.L.I.N.D. leader?

Becoming a B.L.I.N.D. leader is a great way to get involved and get closer with your peers and classmates.

It’s super fun and it benefits you as much as it benefits your community.

If you were given $1,000, what would you do with it?

If I was given $1,000, I would either use it toward my education or invest it to grow.

If you were given $1,000, what would you do with it?

If I was given $1,000, I would want to put it into my savings to go toward my future college education.

If there was something you could do to change the world, what would it be?

If I could change the world, I would contribute research toward childrens’ medicine.

What is your claim to fame?

My claim to fame is having an obese cat.

Fulton High School senior Cailyn Piercy

If there was something you could do to change the world, what would it be?

I would want to make good education for all a possibility. The world could be so much better if everyone was able to get a good education and live productive and fulfilled lives.
