BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

It was a family reunion at the Geerts sheep farm on Covell Road in rural Morrison on July 17, with family members coming together for some sheep-shearing, education, and offering an up-close viewing to visitors looking to learn about local farm life.

The tour at Geerts Family Farm was part of Whiteside County Farm Bureau summer AgVenture series, which showcases local farms in pop-up events coordinated by Diane Baker with Whiteside County Agriculture in the Classroom.

Mike and Marna Geerts have been raising sheep for 38 years, having moved to their current rural farmstead in 1989. When he wanted livestock after a few years, she said anything but cows or hogs, since she grew up on a dairy farm. They settled on sheep and have been maintaining flocks ever since, bringing to market wool, meats, and lambs for other farmers. They have 14 acres for hay growth, a bevy of barn cats, over 50 registered Columbia ewes and studs, and over 80 Southdown sheep.

Jeremey Geerts, who lives down the road from his parents and is the Sheep Superintendent for Whiteside and Carroll County Fairs, and daughter Manda Davis, a Speech Language Pathologist, came to the farm on Saturday to demonstrate the sheep-shearing process, which took place in a former dairy barn that is also converted into a lambing room in the spring.

The sheep are placed on a trimming stand and shorn with the trimmers, with the remaining wool on the legs and head brushed out. It takes about an hour per sheep, with one chain around the head ensuring cooperation. A large Columbia ewe, an American breed known for fleece and meat, and a Southdown, a breed native to England, were on the shearing stand during the tour. A few sheep will be shown at upcoming county and state fairs, with Manda’s 10-year-old daughter Morgan Davis even getting some practice in setting the sheep up as she would at a show.

The Geerts typically have their whole flock sheared in October, with the shearer coming in from Vermont for the prized fleece, which he takes back to the state to sell. By shearing just before winter, it keeps the moisture down in the barn which lessens the threat of illness, especially for the young lambs.

Marna also talked about the benefits of wool during the tour.

It’s an excellent material for socks, since it’s an insulator and takes moisture away. Even in the summer, wool socks will absorb the sweat and keep the feet dry, with Jeremey attesting to that.

The fleece is used in mats used to clean up oil spills, and in airplane seats since it doesn’t flame up. The military uses it in uni-

forms because it keeps moisture down. Felt tip markers have wool in the tips, and tennis balls and baseballs incorporate the material.

A rub of the freshly shorn wool is soft to the touch but also a bit greasy, which is the lanolin that can be used for personal and health care items, and some commercial applications. She demonstrated the crimp of the wool, with a tinier crimp for the finest fleece. Another interesting fact about sheep is their blood is used in rattlesnake antidote, after it was discovered that they’re immune to the toxic bite.

The family opened up their farm to the AgVenture pop-up since they’ve hosted and taught ag camps in the area for many years.

They just returned from Springfield, IL and the All American Jr. Sheep Show, with over 3,000 sheep from nearly 700 exhibitors across the country.

Four more “behind the scenes” AgVenture farm tours are in the works at alpaca, potato, and melon farms and the Sterling Farmers’ Market. Teachers, stakeholders, and families with older students interested in agriculture can email AITCwhiteside@ gmail.com to be put on the event notification list.

BRIEFS Morrison Main Street Block Party is Sunday, July 25

In celebration of one block of the downtown construction being completed, Morrison Main Street and the Department of Fun will be having a Block Party on Sunday, July 25 from 4 – 8 p.m.

The public is invited to join the businesses of the 200th block of West Main St. from Orange to Base as they mark the completion of this portion of the project.

Many activities are planned, including a dunk tank with members of the police department, limbo contest, cornhole, face painting, raffle baskets, photo booth, music, games and prizes, water activities, and snow cones. Holly’s Hotdogs will also be set up. Come on by and have some fun!

The businesses on the block are the Post Office,

China House, The Cage, Tegeler Accounting Service, Extreme Image Salon, TBK Bank, Yarbrough Appliance, Chamber of Commerce, Morrison Police and Fire Departments, and Morrison City Hall.

Meal planned to benefit Morrison Fire Department

First Presbyterian Church of Morrison, 100 E. Lincolnway, will be hosting a free community drive-up meal on Thursday, July 29 starting at 4:30 p.m. to benefit the Morrison Fire Department. The meals will be served at the corner of Knox and Genesee Streets until gone.

The church will be giving away 500 free meals including a quarter pound all beef hot dog, pasta salad, chips, and a cookie. All food and supplies have been donated by generous community

organizations: Family Chef Restaurant donated the hot dogs, Isle of Rhodes Restaurant and Morrison Community Hospital donated the pasta salad, Resthave Home donated the cookies, Community State Bank donated the chips and buns, and Morrison True Value donated the charcoal.

Weather permitting, there will be tables set up for outdoor dining, with church members and firefighters serving up the meals, drinks, and providing table service. There will be a firetruck on site for the kids to check out.

The church is hoping the event will bring in “loads of donations” to help support this critical service organization, with 100% of donations to be given to the department to help offset some of the income lost without the community fundraisers. Follow “MPD Benefit – Free Drive-Up Meal” on Facebook for updates and more.

MORRISON

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Morrison Institute of Technology would receive $1.5 million in funding for its Automation Annex if a request by Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline, becomes law.

Each of Bustos’ community project funding requests moved forward in the appropriations process. Bustos is a member of the House Appropriations Committee.

In total, $3,650,000 in funding has been requested for projects in the 17th District in the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development House Appropriations funding bill. The proposal now moves to the committee mark-up process before the entire package can be presented to the House for a vote.

The Morrison Institute of Technology portion of the funding would go for equipment, classrooms and lab space within the annex, which is part of the engineering

technology program.

The focus of the program is to provide instruction on automation and intelligent process controls.

That di scipline is considered important for the growth of regional industry amid U.S. Rep. Cheri rural population decline Bustos, D-East and reduced workforce Moline availability.

Other projects introduced by Bustos are $1 million for demolition of the former Harrison School site in Peoria, $750,000 for the YMCA of Rock River Valley Youth Equity Center in Rockford, and $400,000 for the construction of a community center and expansion of the East Dubuque District Library.

Erie man charged with aggravated DUI in death of 76-year-old woman MORRISON – An Erie man accused of driving under the influence of drugs is facing three to 14 years in prison in the Sept. 6, 2020, death of an Erie woman.

Nathanial D. “Nathan” Bearsley, 36, was driving under the influence of marijuana and/or one or some combination of Alprazolam, fentanyl, methadone and Tramadol when he crossed the center line on Albany Road near Burns Road about 6:45 p.m. and collided head-on with a vehicle driven by Joyce M. Kae-

cker, 76, prosecutors said.

Kaecker died at the scene. Bearsley was airlifted to an Iowa City hospital.

At the time, Bearsley was charged with improper lane use, Nathanial Bearsley officials said.

In the wake of an investigation,

Bearsley has been charged in Whiteside County Court with four counts of aggravated driving under the influence, all of which carry the enhanced penalty of a minimum three to 14 years in prison, as well as improper lane use.

Bearsley has an initial court appearance scheduled for Aug. 20.

Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and panic disorders, fentanyl is an opioid used for pain

relief, methadone is a drug used for pain relief and treatment of drug addiction, and Tramadol is a pain medicine similar to an opioid.

Bearsley was sentenced in Whiteside County in July 2005 to eight years in prison for possession of more than 15 but less than 100 grams of methamphetamine with intent to deliver; a charge of improper transportation of anhydrous ammonia was dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

PORT BYRON

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

A little rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the hundreds of golfers who showed up for the Byron Hills Golf Fore Heroes outing in Port Byron on Saturday, July 10 to support Remember the Fallen (RTF), an organization that gives back to veterans and first responders nationwide.

The outing raised $30,000 this year, nearly doubling the $17,000 raised at last year’s event. RTF dedicates itself to those who have paid the ultimate price while safeguarding the American way of life, and supports first responders who have had a life-changing event that impacts their ability to serve.

With morning and afternoon flights, the event brought in teams of golfers who played the 18-hole course before enjoying a meal, drinks, and raffle prizes. Firetrucks, first responders, and flags were found throughout the course. Breckin Peterson of Port Byron sang the National Anthem before the teams teed off.

“It’s a great turnout, at least two times the size of last year,” said RTF founder Jason Sullivan, who flew from Houston, TX to be a part of the day’s outing. “A lot more people got involved, and we hope to keep it growing.” He said the non-profit he founded four years ago has delivered over $100,000 to beneficiaries, plus K-9s and tactical vests for police departments in Georgia and Alabama.

Bob and Nancy Juarez of Davenport came by to

Bob was in the Navy for 24 years before retiring, and on the Davenport Fire Department for 19 years until he sustained spinal cord injuries while fighting a fire in June 2008. After hearing of his story, Sullivan and RTF donated $20,000 to the couple, with Sullivan joking how Bob didn’t want to take it.

“We were honored, grateful, amazed. It makes a big difference in individual lives. It gives inspiration to keep going,” Bob said, adding that he’ll be back every year since it’s a good organization to support.

Planning is already in the works for next year’s event. Visit rememberthefallen.net for more information, or Byron Hills Golf Course on Facebook.

YOUR HEALTH

Treatments to consider to help with excess sweating

BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive and undesired sweating. Many people with this condition will have sweating that soaks through their clothes, even when they are not active.

This understandably may cause anxiety and embarrassment.

The good news is there are treatments that may be effective. People who wish to consider treatment are those who have their routines disrupted, suffer emotional distress, experience a sudden change in sweating or have night sweats.

Before engaging in treatment, especially an extreme type, one needs to keep in mind that sweating for people most of

the time has a useful function of cooling the body off by reducing excess heat.

When nerves that help control this process are overstimulated, it becomes a type of autoimmune condition. The condition may not be caused by stress, but it may be aggravated by stress.

The most common cause of hyperhidrosis is called primary or idiopathic, meaning it has no obvious cause. Secondary hyperhidrosis may occur because of menopause, diabetes, a thyroid condition, low blood sugar, heart attack or infections. Sometimes certain forms of cancer are associated with excess sweating. Certain medications may have an association with the condition, especially in the case of withdrawal.

Sometimes a laboratory test will be employed to assist in the diagnosis.

In addition to treating the underlying condition, your doctor may prescribe an antiperspirant with aluminum such as Drysol. This medication may cause skin irritation and is generally applied before going to bed and washed off in the morning. In addition, there are prescription creams that include glycopyrrolate.

There also are nerve-blocking medications that may have side effects of blurred vision and bladder problems.

Antidepressants are sometimes used for the anxiety factor and may cut back on sweating directly. Botox is helpful because it will temporarily block the nerves that may cause excess sweating.

These injections may last from six to 12 months. Some may have short-term muscle weaknesses and pain in the treated areas.

Qbrexa is a prescription product for excess underarm sweating.

Surgery approaches sometimes are employed. Microwave therapy usually is done in two sessions for 20 to 30 minutes three months apart. This sometimes causes skin irritation. The more drastic measure is to remove the sweat glands in the armpit. Another procedure is known as sympathectomy in which the surgeon clamps, cuts or burns the spinal nerves that control swelling in the hands. Occasionally this may trigger excess sweating elsewhere.

The Bi-Can BioBlitz at Illiniwek Forest Preserve in Hampton documented 749 species during 24-hour survey at the park July 9-10.

A bioblitz is a 24-hour period of intense biological sampling to document all living things in a specified area while highlighting local biodiversity. Scientists and naturalists were joined by citizens in their quest to find and document as many species as possible in the air, water, forest, and prairie plants at the 198-acre park along IL Route 84.

The event had to be rescheduled after severe weather was forecasted for June 25-26, and evening thunderstorms put a damper on some activities Friday, July 9. Still, the event offered citizens a rare opportunity to work alongside professionals to help survey mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, plants, insects, fungi, and more.

There were also informative presentations, including Going Native with Niabi Zoo, Birds of Prey, Furry Critters of Illiniwek, Owl Prowl, Moth Mania, Secret World of Dragonflies, Meet the Opossums, a bird hike, and meals for the large contingent of volunteers. Displays of shells and skulls, and nets and

jars for bugs, provided learning opportunities for kids.

New to the collection efforts this year was digital documentation through an iNaturalist app. While some specimens were collected from the field, most were documented via photography.

“The photos make it clean and easy,” said Angella Moorehouse, Natural Areas Preservation Specialist for the State of Illinois, adding that it’s a better alternative than preserving each species. Moorehouse was on the hunt for the “mundane to hard to find” critters at the park, switching between a microscope, computer, camera, and visual identification with volunteers.

Scott James of Moline, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who helps private landowners establish pollinator habitat, said this was his first Bio-Blitz experience, and one where he was able to survey bumblebees and locate five common species.

Last year, a Rusty Patched Bumble Bee was spotted at the park, with volunteers hoping to locate the endangered species again.

unique to each bat, with computer programs later used to decipher and identify each species.

The event was sponsored by Nahant Marsh Education Center, University of Illinois Extension - Henry, Mercer, Rock Island, and Stark Counties, Rock Island County Soil and Water Conservation District, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with many other local and state supporters.

Erie Middle School students take on ancestor project As one of the final projects of the school year, seventh graders at Erie Middle School were challenged to pick an ancestor or someone they could research and learn more about in order to write a story about that person’s life.

Students conducted interviews with family members, and some students were able to gather additional resources and pictures to help tell their story. While many great stories were written, not all will be published.

The project was a collaborative effort between the students’ history classes with Mrs. Gretchen Kruthoff and Mr. Matt Armstrong, English class with Mrs. Samantha Wolf, and their families. It was inspired by the original project that longtime English teacher Mrs. Wiersema made a tradition in her eighth grade class, and the teachers were excited to bring back the project.

‘Larry Ray Secrest’

by Braedyn Frank

If I had to describe my great-grandpa Secrest in one word, it would be passionate. The reason why I say this is

because he liked fun and to do new things all the time. He was funny and had many stories. Great-grandpa Secrest was honorable and respectful.

Great-grandpa Secrest was passionate because he served in the Army in the Korean War, had jobs he actually wanted to do, and did all his hobbies all the time.

My great-grandpa, Larry Ray Secrest, was a great man whose childhood greatly influenced the man he became. My great-grandpa’s parents’ names were Raymond and Katherine Secrest. His siblings were Linda, Patricia and Nina. He was born on Aug. 19, 1938, in Morning Sun, Iowa.

It was said that my great-grandpa had nine lives. Once he was at his grandma’s house, who lived next to a baseball field, playing catch with a ball when someone said watch out and the lining for the baseball field hit him in the eye and he almost went blind.

Another story he told was when he was on his boat, he caught his leg on fire and his boat, so he had to go to an island, where they rescued him a day

later.

My great-grandpa, as you can see, had a pretty good childhood. I would say he had a pretty good life as well.

The Korean War is a war that should be more remembered, not only because my great-grandpa was in it, but because it is called the Forgotten War. My great-grandpa didn’t really talk about the Korean War, but he was in the Army and served in his 20s and retired in his 20s from the Army.

My great-grandpa Secrest not only was in the Korean War, but had jobs that he loved. My great-grandpa loved the railroad, so he worked on the tracks for Burlington Northern Santa Fe, which is a huge railroad company. My great-grandpa also was an auto mechanic and worked for JI-Café, which sells trackers. My great-grandpa absolutely loved cars and would work on them whenever he could. One of his proudest moments was getting a ‘51 to ‘53 Kaiser, which I don’t know what that is, but it sounds cool. He was married three times, and his last wife was named Mary. He had a lot of hobbies,

but his favorites were camping, fishing and working and looking at cars. He would fish any nice day and work on cars any bad day and go camping in the summer. As you can see, he worked at many places that he liked.

I learned my great-grandpa is a very interesting person, and I feel closer to him. I had no idea he liked things such as baseball. His friend was Jack Hamilton, who became a baseball pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. Not just baseball, though, he liked camping, fishing, cars and traveling to new places. I had no idea of all the things he liked, so now I feel closer with him. He died in January 2021 due to COVID-19. I loved this project because I got to learn about people that I never really knew and/or learn more than I knew about a person.

My great-grandpa Secrest was so passionate. He had a really good childhood and talked about it, and was passionate about serving his country. He had so many hobbies that he loved and did all the time. All of these things make me feel closer to him. He was so interesting in so many ways.

Snider takes the reins as Mustangs football coach

By ERIC INGLES

eingles@shawmedia.com Morrison football has a new coach.

Steve Snider will take the reins of the Mustangs this fall, taking over for Ryan Oetting, who stepped down after the spring season.

Snider had been the coach at Orangeville, leading the Broncos to a 2-4 record in the abbreviated spring 2021 season. Orangeville capped the season with a 28-6 win over Milledgeville.

Even though he was up the road and in a different conference in Orangeville, Snider could see the type of program Morrison had.

“Obviously it’s a great program, historic success,” Snider said. “Obviously the 2009 and 2011 seasons, they won state championships. When I grew up an NUIC kid, I got to see Morrison play a couple of times playing in some great playoff games.”

Snider, an Orangeville native, joined the Broncos coaching staff as an assistant coach in 2013. Orangeville was 7-4 in 2019 to cap a three-year run of trips to the playoffs. Snider was the defensive coordinator for those teams, putting together a Broncos defense that pitched a pair of shutouts in 2019, including a shutout in a playoff win over Chicago Hope Academy. The Broncos held two other teams under 10 points that season.

“He’s had experience taking Oran-

He sells himself well, sells the program, already has kids excited. We’ve had kids in the weight room. He’s dedicated, driving from Orangeville twice a day. He has everything we think he needs to get the job done, and done well.”

Greg Dolan, Morrison athletic director, on new football coach Steve Snider geville to the playoffs,” Morrison athletic director Greg Dolan said of Snider.

“They have 100 kids in their school.

He’s got a pedigree that we felt would fit in well here at Morrison.”

Dolan sees a lot of positivity in Snider.

“He sells himself well, sells the program, already has kids excited,” Dolan said. “We’ve had kids in the weight room. He’s dedicated, driving from Orangeville twice a day. He has everything we think he needs to get the job done, and done well.”

In making the move from Orangeville to Morrison, Snider goes to a school with an enrollment of 270, which put the Mustangs in the Class 1A bracket.

Snider has plenty of small-school experience. Orangeville is the smallest school in Illinois with an 11-man football program. Orangeville’s enrollment is 101. The next smallest school in Illinois playing 11-man football is Chicago Harper with 149 students.

“There are people that coach at huge schools, and you can do things that

small schools can’t do. I was part of a program for eight seasons that never had more than 30 kids in it, and what we were able to do with our strength and conditioning program and our football program is unmatched in comparison to what they’ve had to do,” Snider said. “Orangeville had the smallest enrollment in Illinois for any school that had a football program every year I coached there. There are challenges that come with that, good challenges. Those challenges made me better. It made me think about the game in a different way and how to develop young athletes in a different way because you have to do it in a different way or else you’re not going to have a program.”

Oetting told the Morrison administration the Monday after the spring season that he would be stepping down.

Morrison went 2-3, closing the spring campaign and Oetting’s coaching tenure with the Mustangs with a 38-6 win over Erie-Prophetstown.

In four seasons under Oetting, the

dent must achieve a minimum 3.5 gradepoint average for the semester on a 4.0 scale.

Local students on Kirkwood’s dean’s list

Schmidt named to dean’s list at Nebraska-Lincoln

Mustangs were 27-18. Morrison went 2-7 in each of his first two seasons at the helm, then turned things around drastically in 2019, going 9-0 in the regular season and reaching the Class 1A quarterfinals.

“He had some pretty talented athletes, and those athletes believed in him,” Dolan said. “They believed in the coaching staff. From 2-7 to 11-1, that’s not a bad turnaround. Kids bought into what Ryan was selling, and that’s a big part of the battle.”

Snider was able to meet with the returning players before the end of the school year. Since then, he has been back and forth between Orangeville and Morrison to work with his players.

He also has plans for a summer camp next week and the week after.

“Morrison had a day left of school, and I was able to get down there and meet all the kids that day,” Snider said.

“We’ve had some walk-through type things and weight room, and we’ve got a 7-on-7 in Lena on Thursday to do some exhibition with Le-Win and Stockton. I’ve gotten somewhat familiar with the kids. When I first got hired, track and wrestling were still going full swing, and there’s some absolutely great athletes competing up until the state series in both those sports.”

Snider will make his debut as Morrison coach Aug. 28 at Newman, a Saturday night game at Roscoe Eades Stadium.

The top 400 shooters from the individual qualifier July 10 advanced to the July 11 finals. Out of 1,680 shooters in the nation, Wuebben finished 160th, shooting 94 of 100 targets in the finals, and Drennen was 290th, shoot-

ing 90 of 100 targets.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our accomplishments not only as a team but also on the individual level,” coach Tad Skromme said. “Not only did each teammate contribute to our final scoring as a team but also raised each other’s spirits when a shooter scored a

score they weren’t happy with. They functioned as a team and should be very proud they showed the nation who we are.”

The team took sixth at the state championship in June and was one of two teams in the state to place in the top 10 at the national competition.

Spring Valley Reformed Church in Fulton welcomes The Dysart Family to the outdoor stage at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 25.

Spring Valley Reformed Church welcomes The Dysart Family Spring Valley Reformed Church, 10960 Spring Valley Road, Fulton, welcomes The Dysart Family to the outdoor stage at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 25.

Come join us for an evening of music and worship. In case of rain or extreme heat, the concert will be moved indoors. A freewill offering will be taken.

The Dysart Family, LeWain and Lorena Dysart and their five children, are based out of northern Missouri.

They offer gospel music fans unique, tight family harmonies, with a diverse

and powerful selection of music.

The Dysart’s approach to their music ministry incorporates a serious focus on personal relationships with Jesus, love for one another in the home, and just plain hard work on their music. What they end up with are blessed times of worship in concert, complemented by a tight family blend that is distinctive to The Dysarts.

Original songs from the Dysarts, fun times and laughter at family life stories all add up to a concert that no one wants to see come to an end.

CHURCH BRIEFS First Reformed Church worship service is at 9 a.m. July 25

Join us for worship at 9 a.m. Sunday, July 25, at First Reformed Church, 510 15th Ave. in Fulton. Pastor Chuck Huckaby will bring the message. Representatives from April House in Morrison will share about their work. Our missionaries, the Bodes, also will speak. Coffee and refreshments will be served in the library after the service.

Senior Meals begin at 11:30 a.m.

Worship service at Emmanuel Church is at 9 a.m. July 25
