Morrison native is one of the band members

By BRIAN WEIDMAN

bweidman@shawmedia.com For a lot of college students, spring 2020 was a trying time as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down campuses and sent them packing for home.

For Gabe Zeigler and his Monarch bandmates, it provided an opportunity.

The result will be an EP album slated to be released Feb. 1.

Zeigler is a senior at Augustana College in Rock Island. He plays guitar in the band that also includes lead singer Luke Steinke, guitarist Devin Lott and drummer Ben Vanderlaan.

Zeigler, Steinke and Lott are from Sterling, Vanderlaan is from Morrison.

Steinke and Vanderlaan are seniors at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, while Lott is a graduate of the Madison Recording Institute.

They formed Monarch about three years ago, and have played at different events in the Sauk Valley, including the Petunia Festival and Gardenstock.

They played a gig at Champs Bar in Sterling on March 14, just as COVID-19 was taking hold. Shortly after that, college students were being sent home from all across the country.

The members of Monarch decided that was the right time to piece together an album.

“That gave us a really big window of time that we could work with,” Zeigler said. “Essentially, we met mid-to-late

March and developed a plan for this, and over the next month and a half, we put together fragments of old songs that we had worked on, but never really finished.”

That writing process resulted in six songs.

“It was entirely fresh,” Zeigler said.

“We wrote all of the songs over Zoom.

We flushed them out to the point where we knew we had something good. Then it led to three- to four-hour rehearsal sessions while getting baked by the sun.

It was really, really tough and required a lot of effort and coordination from the group. It was a totally different approach, and it really shows.”

In May and June, the group got together at Jordan Creek Recording Co., a facility operated by Zeigler about 5 miles north of Sterling. They would rehearse in the driveway, while staying socially distanced from one another.

Douglas Ganster, a Braidwood native who graduated from Augustana a few years ago and whom Zeigler got to know during their time together there, was brought in to play bass, allowing Steinke to concentrate on vocals.

“It was a really intense and different process,” Zeigler said.

Jordan Creek Recording is in an old barn on property that has been in Zeigler’s family for a long time. He’s had other bands work there in the past.

“It’s just a fantastic acoustic chamber. It brings out a warm and powerful sound, for drums especially.”

The six-song album is called “The Sunroom EP” and is a sign of the times in two ways – the world in which we all live in now, as well as the evolution of the band Monarch.

“The reason we called it The Sunroom EP is because it really felt like we were looking at the whole world through a window, both as a band and a society, at the time of writing it,” Zeigler said.

“We still kind of are. People were staying inside for weeks. They weren’t seeing their friends. They weren’t seeing their family. It kind of felt like we were watching and waiting for something to happen.

“Also, the sunroom metaphor alludes to what it’s like to be a small town local band, where you’re got 8 to 10 years of musical experience, you’re working hard and you’ve made some really cool connections. You know at the point in your life where you’ve made it so far, but there’s so many people out there that haven’t met you or your musical personality yet. It’s kind of like a bubble, and you’re trying to break out of that bubble.”

The Sunroom EP will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, Prime Music and YouTube. It is the second album for the band, following “Mask” in 2018. They also released four singles in 2019.

With the band members all in their early 20s and either fresh out of college or getting ready to graduate, the future is up in their air. They could find their own paths in music, or collaborate on something else down the road.

“If we’re playing together and we’re gigging, I think we’re going to have a great time, and you can definitely expect a few albums in the next decade,” Zeigler said.

“Whether that means we’re going to be touring the world or taking the world by storm from our own basements, that’s to be determined.”

bweidman@shawmedia.com MORRISON – Some Morrison children soon will have a new place to spend their weekdays, thanks to the generosity and cooperation of some adults.

The Early Years Academy, 508 French Creek Road on the southeast side of town, is set to open in two or three weeks. It is a dream come true for Scott Selmon, owner of Climco Coils, a business adjacent to the daycare.

Selmon recognized a need for a new daycare in Morrison, not only for people with young children in town, but also for his employees. He spent about $500,000 getting Early Years built.

“One of the big needs for employ-

the biggest reasons for call-off is lack of child care and reliable child care. The community needed it. Our

employees needed it. It was always a dream of Scott’s to do this.”

The facility is built on 5 acres donated by the Morrison Area Development Corp. Kim Ewoldsen, a volunteer and its former director, was involved with the project and was happy to see it come to fruition.

“This is a great example of the development corporation working with a local business to meet a community need,” Ewoldsen said. “To have a vibrant community, one of the things a lot of people look for is a child-care facility. We do have a child-care facility in town; however, we have outgrown the capacity there.”

Morrison Community Daycare was established in 1972 and is in the lower level of the Presbyterian

Understanding bruised and broken ribs

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.

Certain weather conditions, such as ice, snow, and other related conditions, may set us up for a variety of injuries. Among those are bruised or broken ribs. Actually, any force or trauma may cause problems with the ribs, including sneezing and coughing.

To understand the importance of bruised or broken ribs, keep in mind the function of the lungs The lungs take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide. When they are injured or diseased, both of these processes may be less efficient.

When one has a bruised or broken rib, the natural tendency is to splint the effected portion of the lung to collapse. This produces a condi-

POLICE REPORTS

Morrison Police Report On Friday, Jan. 22, at approximately 10:08 p.m., Morrison Police responded to Da Bar, 109 East Main St., Morrison, regarding an unwanted subject. As a result of the investigation, Evan J. Mahoney, 28, of Morrison, was arrested and charged with criminal trespass to property and criminal damage to property. Mahoney was transported to the Whiteside County Jail, processed, and then released with a notice to appear.

tion known as “atelectasis,” which may make it easier for the lungs to acquire pneumonia.

Thus, one can readily see the importance of deep breathing while one has a lung injury. Like a patient following surgery, one of the most important things is to breathe deeply to help prevent lung collapse. This is irrespective to whether the rib is bruised or broken.

Depending on the extent of the injury and condition, your doctor may sometimes obtain an x-ray. Still, one should remember that whether bruised or broken, the essential feature is to breathe deeply.

It is important that adequate pain relief be supplied which may require strong pain relievers. Sometimes rib belts are employed which tempo-

rarily stabilize the ribs, but this is controversial. Some feel that such rib belts may lead to the condition of splinting, as referred to above, where the patient does not take a complete breath and thus is set up for lung collapse.

A rare complication of a broken rib is a punctured lung which may lead to the condition known as “pneumothorax.” This condition can leave one short of breath and in significant pain.

Even if you have seen the doctor for an injury and experience an increase in your symptoms, you should inform the doctor of such change in status or go to the the nearest emergency room.

Finally, what can be done to prevent rib injuries? This may be easier

said than done.

Besides being aware of weather conditions and taking appropriate precautions, it is helpful to stay in good physical fitness.

This helps promote strong bones and muscles, which aid in the normal healing process. Appropriate diets to help maintain adequate bone mass are also helpful.

One should avoid cigarettes which weaken the lung tissue.

In fact, emphysema and any other condition that is an underlying lung or respiratory condition may make an acute rib injury all the more important.

One can expect such injuries may take a few weeks to heal, but doing the above measures are likely to aid in the overall return to normal.

The Early Years Academy, after a meeting with a state official on Friday afternoon, got word it will be licensed for two shifts of 94 children each.

“This is super-exciting,” said Jennifer Magnafici, owner/director of the academy. “The demand is so high in this community, and all the surrounding communities. It’s a wonderful opportunity for everyone to have a quality service. Not only are we going to offer daycare services, but we also offer preschool as well.”

Magnafici was director of Bright Beginnings Christian Daycare and Preschool in Dixon for about three years, but that ended in April when the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. She was alerted via social media about a new daycare in Morrison, and after acing the interview process, took the reins at Early Years in July.

She has been getting calls every day from interested parents and guardians

OBITUARIES KRISTI JO ERNST

Born: August 25, 1954; Clinton, Iowa Died: January 23, 2021; Davenport, Iowa

ELDRIDGE, Iowa – Kristi Jo Ernst, 66, of Eldridge, Iowa, passed away on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at Genesis East in Davenport, Iowa.

After a tough battle, COVID-19 won.

Private funeral services were Friday, Jan. 29 at the Eldridge Community Center. Burial followed at the Erie Cemetery in Erie, Illinois.

Kristi was born on Aug. 25, 1954 in Clinton, Iowa, the daughter of Donald and Esther (Franks) Bartels.

Kristi held many jobs in her day, but raising her family was her greatest joy and accomplishment. She had four children and seven grandchildren.

Matthew, her third child, has a rare genetic disorder (CDLS).Being a mother to a son with a mental disorder was no easy feat, but leave it up to this woman to knock that out of the park.

She was a selfless, caring soul who put every ounce of love into her family. She would have spent every day with them if she could, even though her sons loved to tease their mama to make her smile.

She loved to spoil them all with her famous chicken and noodles or a delicious batch of homemade scotcha-roos. Being the all-star grandma she was, she enjoyed baking just about every cookie imaginable for her grandkids.

Kristi was front row center to any and all activities her kids or grandkids were a part of, from Donahue Days softball tournaments to Special Olympics to everything in between. She was their biggest cheerleader. Kristi had a green thumb. She loved her garden. If you drove past her house in the summer you would, without a doubt, find her there. It was her oasis. You might also find her lounging by the pool (or dancing!), drink in hand, surrounded by the people she loved most.

Kristi loved meeting up with friends, both old and new. Al & Gerry’s was a special place for her to do that. She was part of the amazing Al & Gerry’s family for over 35 years. Speaking of family, Kristi had many cousins she held dear to her heart,too many to mention but there was so much love.

Kristi was a social butterfly and no matter where you ran into her, you

were greeted with a big hug, probably a kiss and were likely left with her contagious laugh running through your mind. Her laugh was one of a kind. She was a big part of her community, from working at City Hall, to cooking at Al & Gerry’s, to being an active member of the Eldridge Lions Club. If you needed her, she would be there.

In the last six years, Kristi opened her heart to new adventures and that was large in part to finding her rock, Dennis Rock. They shared their lives together and their love for one another was timeless. They were soulmates.

Their time together was cut far too short.

Kristi will be missed beyond whatwords can describe. She filled our hearts and our world with everything a mother, grandmother and friend should; love and laughter. Until we meet again, mama, we love you so much.

Those left to honor her memory include her daughter and son-in-law, Angela and Mark Brimmer of Long Grove, Iowa; her sons and daughtersin-law, Paul and Brandy Ragona of Long Grove, Matthew Ernst of DeWitt, Iowa and Eric and Stephany Ernst of Eldridge; her grandchildren, Joseph, Tyler and Elisa Ragona, Alyson Ragona (Shawn Leland) and Anthony Brimmer, and Vaida and Voss Ernst; her significant other, Dennis Rock of Eldridge; her brother and sister-in-law, Curt and Nancy Bartels of Erie; and her niece and nephew, Stacy Carlson and Zack Bartels.

Her parents preceded her in death.

A celebration of life will be planned in August to honor Kristi.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Imagine the Possibilities, Inc. or to the Eldridge Lions Club.

Online condolences may be expressed to the family by visiting Kristi’s obituary at www.McGinnis-Chambers.com

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ILLINOIS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHAMPAIGN – It’s going on 40 days since Bret Bielema was announced as Illinois’ football coach, and since then he has assembled a staff, met returning players, recruited new ones, persuaded a top player to pull his name out of the transfer portal and made the rounds getting to know administrators and alumni.

Bielema, a native of Propetstown, has no plans to slow down. The team started winter conditioning this week, and he still has to finalize a spring roster after he adds a couple of more players to the 2021 recruiting class.

“I’m trying to get the best players so we can have the best team we possibly can this year,” Bielema said Wednesday. “I’m not going to skip a step to get to where we want to be, but I’m trying to be good now. I don’t want to wait three years from now. The way the rules are now, you can try to do that.”

Bielema, who won three Big Ten championships at Wisconsin before moving on to Arkansas, has worked in the NFL the past three years. He signed a six-year contract paying $4.2 million annually. He took over a program that hasn’t had a winning record since it went 7-6 in 2011. The man he replaced, Lovie Smith, was 17-39 in five seasons.

The Illini will build around what Bielema called “bonus seniors,” players who are allowed to return for another season because of the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

AP file photo

Bret Bielema speaks with reporters beneath Razorback Stadium on Nov. 24, 2017, in Fayetteville, Ark. Illinois recently hired the former Wisconsin and Arkansas coach to replace fired coach Lovie Smith.

Quarterback Brandon Peters announced Dec. 29 he would be back in 2021, and Bielema talked top defensive lineman Owen Carney Jr. into taking his

name out of the transfer portal and return.

Other “bonus seniors” with starting experience who’ll be back are offensive linemen Doug Kramer, Vederian Lowe and Alex Palczewski, defensive linemen Isaiah Gay and Jamal Woods, defensive back Tony Adams, punter Blake Hayes and kicker James McCourt.

Bielema also added two graduate transfers, defensive back Prather Hudson from Georgia and wide receiver Jafar Armstrong from Notre Dame.

Bielema said he has spent a lot of time in his “Zoom Room” since arriving. That’s where he’s met with recruiting prospects and their families and held individual meetings with players who are returning or who he wanted to convince to return.

Bielema said he was sensitive to the emotions of the seniors while they were considering their options. “”I know Lovie’s a good man. He had an effect on a lot of these guys’ hearts,” he said. “I was always trying to be respectful. With this transition, I hope to take you to a higher level. That’s just being real with them. Some of these guys had to go through the pain of, ‘It hasn’t been very fun here the last couple years, and I just lost coaches I love.’ ” Illinois signed 14 high school seniors, all rated as three-star prospects, three days after Smith was fired and three days before Bielema was introduced as the new coach.

“Those guys are all welcome into our family,” Bielema said. “I’ve reached out to them, built a relationship, a couple are on campus already.”

An interview with junior B.L.I.N.D. leader Clara Bush “Building Lasting Impressions that Never Die” What types of activities are you involved in at Morrison High School?

I am involved in Key Club, Student Council, and BLIND. What are your hobbies outside of school?

Outside of school I like dance, shopping, and spending time with family.

How would you describe your leadership style?

I try to lead by example and be someone people can look up to. Whether it is in the classroom or outside of school, I try my best to act as a role model and example for children younger than me.

I hope to positively influence people and lead them in the direction that is right for them.

What has BLIND meant to you?

BLIND as a freshmen allowed me to meet new people and talk to people I usually would not on an everyday basis.

In this day and age, people can be so exclusive and judgmental and BLIND acts as a way to see different ways of life and learn about others and how to

interact. BLIND allows not only the freshmen, but the leaders to become more accepting and help others when needed.

What is one fun fact about you?

A fun fact about me is that I love traveling and it is my favorite thing to do!

plans, evaluation, learning standards, classroom management, and professional development. The class is a smaller portion of the district’s Education Pathway Endorsement, part of the state’s initiative to focus more on and include more options for Career and Technical Education in schools.

Tichler, Henson, and Frederick, two of whom will be receiving the Education Endorsement when they graduate, will be giving their presentation, titled, “Remote Learning From Students’ and Teachers’ Perspectives,” to area administrators, teachers, and staff who attend the virtual summit. They will be discussing their experiences with remote learning throughout the COVID pandemic both as students and as “teachers” in the classroom.

SPORTS

High school basketball seasons to start soon

BY ERIC INGLES

eingles@shawmedia.com The defending Class 1A girls basketball state champion Eastland Cougars were back in practice on Jan. 27, and were able to take the court with some good news: there will be a basketball season, and they know when it will tip off.

Last Wednesday, the IHSA released its schedule for how the rest of the 2020-21 school year will play out for high school sports teams, meaning after months of waiting, games are once again about to begin.

Seeing her team standing in the hallway between the gym and the locker room waiting for the Eastland boys team to wrap up its practice, Cougars coach Nicole Brinker saw a lot of good energy in her girls team.

“It’s been a long time and it’s been an emotional roller coaster for everybody,” Brinker said. “It seemed like once we’d get going, they would tell us, ‘No you can’t.’ Now, there’s some excitement to know that they’re going to be able to go, especially for our seniors.”

The IHSA plan allows basketball, bowling and boys swimming teams to open practice immediately. Competition can start after teams have seven days of practices, and seasons will wrap up March 13.

Some basketball teams were able to practice already, with the state allowing practices for

“We’re going to try to get it put together as fast as we can because we have to get them to assigners to get officials,” Sterling athletic director Greg King said. “That’s going to be the big key in this, is getting officials to get games.”

In July, the IHSA released a revamped sports calendar for the school year, moving traditionally fall sports football, boys soccer and volleyball to the spring and pushing the traditional spring sports to a late-spring/early-summer season. Under that plan, basketball would have opened practice in November, but as that date approached, COVID-19 numbers were on the rise throughout Illinois, putting everything on hold for more than two months.

With COVID-19 numbers falling once again and vaccines available, the coast was clear for sports to start up again, but now time is running out before the end of the school year, causing the IHSA to have to squeeze three seasons worth of sports into about 20 weeks.

That is resulting in quite a bit of overlap, such as in April with the displaced fall sports running through the end of the month and the traditional spring sports allowed to begin practice on April 5.

At Sterling, that means a crunch on facilities, where boys and girls track, boys and girls soccer and football will all be looking to practice and play at Roscoe Eades Stadium at the same time, so King will have to sit down with those coaches to work out a plan.

Fred South receives a plaque of appreciation

Many in Prophetstown know Fred South as a social studies/history teacher or someone who you call when you need help with your computer.

He began his teaching career in the 1960s in Prophetstown and retired in the 1990s. Since his retirement, he has spent countless hours volunteering his time with the Prophetstown Area Historical Society. Although he does quite a bit of work from home, most Saturday mornings you can find him in his office at the museum at 304 Main Street in Prophetstown.

He digitizes our collection, does research for families, writes articles, and many other tasks to preserve our collection. Some of the

topics he researches are made into booklets, shared on Around Ptown, or on the Prophetstown Area Historical Society’s Facebook page to give people a little history lesson or to give the rest of the story.

The Prophetstown Area Historical Society recently met to present Fred a plaque “with appreciation and gratitude for your boundless curiosity in all things Prophetstown, your endless hours spent pursuing this passion, and your generosity in sharing with others. Your contributions will preserve our history for generations to come.”

Fred’s wife, Barb, was also given a beautiful flower arrangement in appreciation of her support of Fred’s service to the community.

MERCYONE CLINTON

New linear accelerator purchased A new linear accelerator for radiation therapy is now serving patients at MercyOne Clinton’s Radiation Oncology Center. The addition of the linear accelerator was made possible through the generous support of the community.

“We are excited to offer our new linear accelerator to patients for radiation therapy,” said Kay Takes, president of MercyOne Eastern Iowa Region. “With the leadership of our MercyOne Clinton Foundation and the support of so many in this community, businesses and individuals raised $2 million of the more than $6 million invested to make the latest technology in radiation therapy available right here in Clinton County.”

Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment using high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It is a very targeted therapy that treats a specific area, and each plan is designed to provide the best treatment for patients with the fewest side effects. The new gen-

eration of linear accelerator offers more advanced imaging and greater precision than ever before.

“Many patients with cancer need radiation therapy, often five days a week for several weeks, making the need for local radiation therapy even more essential,” said Amy Berentes, executive vice president and chief operating officer of MercyOne Clinton Medical Center. “It’s not only life saving but it impacts quality of life, and we’re blessed to be able to offer this therapy to our community.”

“Because cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the US and in Iowa, it is scary news to receive,” said Takes. “But it is also more curable and more treatable every day, and with state-of-the art cancer care, people with a cancer diagnosis have much to be hopeful for.”

ELECTION NOTICE Whiteside County Clerk, Dana Nelson, wishes to inform disabled and elderly voters of the 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 April 6, 2021 Consolidated 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. Also, there are many Deputy Voter Registrars throughout the County. For more information on one near you, contact the County Clerk's office at 815772-5189. The voter registration deadline is March 9, 2021.

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 April 1, 2021.

Early voting is also available at the Courthouse in Morrison beginning February 25, 2021 through April 5, 2021. Early voting will also be held at the Sterling Courthouse at 101 East Third Street on March 24, 25 and 26 from 9:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. each day.

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.

Nelson urges everyone to take advantage of the right to vote at this Election, and to feel free to request assistance from the Election Judges on election day. They are specifically trained to render this assistance and welcome the opportunity to be of help.

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.
