Kingdom Life Community Church. Ron’s passion was being a devoted father to his two sons, Justin and Todd. He supported them both through many activities and bonding experiences. An active community member, he helped establish the Farmers’ Market and organized car shows in Morrison and Erie. He also served on the board of NICIL in Rock Falls, IL, and was deeply involved with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Among his friends and neighbors, he was affectionately known as the “Mayor of Unionville.” Ron had a passion for collecting, amassing an array of coins, hats, license plates, Hot Wheels, die cast cars, Pepsi and Chevrolet memorabilia. He enjoyed shooting pool, board games, chess, and card games, and he was a dedicated NASCAR and Dallas Cowboys fan. In 2016, his family arranged a once-in-a-lifetime trip to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, where he saw the Cowboys defeat the Eagles—a memorable event he enjoyed reminiscing about. He had a lifelong love for drag racing and closely followed Arnie Beswick’s career. One of his greatest personal achievements was restoring his
white 1951 Chevy pickup truck. However, his most cherished role was being a grandfather. He took immense pride in his grandchildren’s accomplishments, always sharing their stories with enthusiasm and love. Ron’s resilience and positive spirit were an inspiration. Diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at the age of 10, he never let it limit his ambitions. Even when he became reliant on a wheelchair in 1983, he continued to live life to the fullest and encouraged others to do the same.

Morrison Scholastic Bowl team places first at Masonic sectional
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
Morrison High School’s Scholastic Bowl team achieved a first-place finish at the Masonic Sectional on Feb. 22 at Prophetstown High School.
Morrison won all five matches, defeating Amboy 310-80, Fulton 280-160, Erie-Prophetstown 240-200, Eastland 250170 and Ashton-Franklin Center 300-160.
Ashton-Franklin Center finished second, followed by Erie-Prophetstown and Fulton.
Morrison advanced to the Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl state tournament, which will be Saturday, March 8, at Bloomington High School.
Morrison’s team consists of Violet Mills, Blaine Williams, Quinn Blevins, Shawn Simpson, Daniel Melton and Logan Peavy. The team’s participation in the Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl was underwritten by Dunlap Lodge 321 in downtown Morrison.
“I would like to thank all of the parents and relatives who turned out on Feb. 22 to support Morrison’s team,” Coach Brian Bartoz said. “I’d also like to recog-
nize Dunlap Lodge 321 in Morrison for paying the team’s $150 entry fee to compete in the Illinois Masonic Academic Bowl and for offering its encouragement each year. Tournament director Herman Albers, members of Masonic lodges across Illinois and coach Emily Higgins and coach Dana Murphy at Prophetstown High School invested a great deal
of time and effort to ensure a successful competition on Saturday, as did coaches who hosted the tournament at sites across Illinois. I’d also like to thank all of the volunteers at Prophetstown High School who served as moderators, scorekeepers, timekeepers, office staff and pizza pickup volunteers on Saturday.”
For the 2024-25 season, Morrison has a
43-13 record.
“I’m very pleased with the team’s performance this season,” Bartoz said. “Our players this season have more knowledge in their noggins than just about any group I’ve worked with during the past eight years. I don’t know how they know everything that they know, but I’m glad that they do.”

Fulton officials debating turning downtown street into one-way
SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com
FULTON – More parking spots and a safer thoroughfare are two reasons Fulton officials are considering transforming Fourth Street into a one-way street.
As part of its ongoing debate regarding one-way or two-way traffic construction, the Fulton City Council presented two video models showing the change from two-way traffic to one-way traffic.
The city also issued the following statement last week:
City of Fulton Traffic Update: Fourth Street Traffic Flow
“The city of Fulton front office and council members have heard your concerns about whether Fourth Street should remain a two-way street or revert to a one-way. Our goal in determining traffic flow is to enhance downtown accessibility and safety.
“Keeping Fourth Street a two-way street has its limitations. Parking will remain limited and to accommodate larger vehicles, we would need to adjust the angle of each parking stall resulting in the loss of additional parking spots.
This means that maintaining the current traffic flow would not fully address the parking challenges downtown.
“After much discussion, we are still considering returning Fourth Street to a one-way street. The primary factor in this decision is safety. Visibility at inter-
sections is a concern, particularly when large vehicles are parked along the street. Backing out of parking spaces can also be difficult when sightlines are obstructed by SUVs or pickup trucks.
“Another key consideration is parking availability. Converting Fourth
Street to a one-way street would create 16 additional parking spots. While adding a parking lot has been discussed, this would require identifying a willing property owner and ensuring fiscal responsibility to taxpayers.
“Sidewalk width and accessibility are also important. ADA compliance requires sidewalks to be at least five feet wide, and with existing streetlight bases, the minimum clear passage space is already at this limit. While narrowing sidewalks was considered, the consensus is to maintain at least a 7-foot width to balance pedestrian accessibility and downtown aesthetics.
“We recognize the importance of this decision and are committed to making the best choice for our community. Your input is valuable! We encourage all residents and business owners to share their thoughts on this matter. Please submit your feedback by March 10 through email at info@cityoffulton.us.
“Thank you for helping us shape the future of downtown Fulton. We appreciate your engagement and will continue working to improve safety, accessibility and parking for all.”

Fulton city officials are considering making Fourth Street a one-way street through the downtown.
At the City Council meeting, members voted to accept a dedication from Mr. and Mrs. Henry Balk to the city of a parcel of land that will permit the extension of 17th Street from Ninth Avenue to Cattail Road.
With bids to be opened within the next few weeks on the new Harbor Crest Home, members of the board of directors at a meeting voted to intensify the effort to sell bonds to complete the financing of the original structure. The board is offering 51/2 percent bonds to raise funds to be added to the more than $100,000 in contributions to pay for constructing a 49-bed home for the aged that will cost about $250,000.

The City Council rejected recommendations from Stanley consultants for sharply increased sewage rates for Fulton residents and insisted that a much more modest increase be approved to help pay for the city’s new sewage treatment plant. The city has prepared an alternate plan, worked up with the assistance of the Northern Illinois Council of Public Affairs. The plan calls for a smaller sewage rate increase.
The Fulton Steamers captured the regional basketball championship with a big 61-53 come-from-behind win over the Morrison Mustangs. The game, described by many fans as the finest high school game they have seen this year, was as close as it could be for three quarters with the score tied 16-16 after the first quarter, 30-30 at the half and Morrison leading 43-42 at the end of the third quarter.

Sjogren syndrome is an autoimmune disease that causes dry mouth, dry eyes
Sjogren syndrome is a disease that causes significant dry mouth and dry eyes. It is part of the family conditions know as autoimmune disease.
These conditions occur when your body’s immune system attacks your own cells and tissues.
In its mildest form, there may not be any symptoms, but it may affect organs such as the bowel, joints, kidneys, lungs and even central nervous system.
YOUR HEALTH
Stephen D. Harrison, M.D.
It is one of the more common autoimmune conditions and typically affects women in their 40s and early 50s. Sometimes it is associated with other autoimmune disorders
such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. There is no known specific cause.
In its classic presentation, those with Sjogren syndrome feel their eyes are gritty or itchy along with dry mouth. Occasionally, there is trouble swallowing or eating dry food and sometimes speaking.
Arthritis may occur in up to three-quarters of the patients and cavities also are common because of the
decreased saliva.
There is no cure for the condition but one may get artificial tears and saliva substitutes to help with the symptoms.
Sometimes certain medicines may help your body make more tears and saliva.
The condition typically is lifelong and is supported by the Sjogren’s Foundation, whose website is sjogrens.org.

SAVANNA – State Rep. Tony McCombie is providing an update to constituents in Illinois’ 89th House District on chronic wasting disease, a fatal disease of the central nervous system in deer and elk.

USAID freeze shutters soybean lab on University of Illinois campus
By TOM C. DORAN tdoran@shawmedia.com
URBANA – The Soybean Innovation Lab will close April 15 because of a federal funding stoppage for the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The Soybean Innovation Lab is part of USAID’s Feed the Future initiative to help bring research-based innovation, tools and technologies to develop soybean production.
The lab’s soybean development portfolio supports activities across 44 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas.
Formed in 2011, the lab provides researchers and organizations with resources to advance soybean development. The lab operates in partnership with the University of Illinois and is located on campus.

“Today is a dark day when once there were so many winners,” Peter Goldsmith, Soybean Innovation Lab director and principal investigator, said via LinkedIn.
Thirty staff members were laid off as a result of the funding freeze.

“U.S. soybean farmers lose one of their best tools to expand their markets and U.S. standards globally. Local economies in emerging markets lose soybean as an incomparable engine growing wealth, prosperity and economic development. International security is a loser as local populations now fall back into poverty, unrest and migration due to greater food insecurity. U.S. influence loses as innovation labs operate on the ground in direct collaboration with hundreds of local businesses, organizations and governments building strong and lasting friendships.”
Thomson inmate sentenced to additional 9 years for assaulting another inmate
By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com
ROCKFORD – A federal inmate has been sentenced to an additional nine years in prison for assaulting another inmate.
U.S. District Judge Iain D. Johnston on Monday, Feb. 24, sentenced Julian Breal to nine years in prison to be served consecutively to the sentence he currently is serving in the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
According to a news release, Breal was incarcerated in 2022 at the Federal
Correctional Institution in Thomson where he repeatedly kicked and punched the other inmate for several minutes, causing serious injuries.
The victim was transported to an outside hospital for treatment, which included surgery, according to the release.
A jury last year convicted Breal, 47, of assault causing serious bodily injury.
The sentence was announced by Morris Pasqual, acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and Douglas S. DePodesta, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Field Office of the FBI.

Crop farming has long been a big part of Michael Koster’s life, always striving to find better ways to get the most out of what he grows.
That ever-growing curiosity has led the Sterling farmer down a different path recently — but it wasn’t a dirt path.
Koster has tapped into the world of hydroponics, a soil-free system where plants are grown primarily in nutrient-rich water, and since dipping his toes in the water, he built a two-bay, gutter-connect greenhouse on his property last year, planted his first seeds in

June, and recently begun selling a variety of his leafy greens at local markets..
Koster has grown at least 16 types of vegetables and herbs: lettuces such as regular and red buttercrunch, Batavia, bicolor oak leaf, and mini red and green romaine; as well as arugula, basil, bok choi, chives, cilantro, kale, kohlrabi, parsley, spinach and watercress.
Hydroponic growing is a more efficient way of delivering nutrients to the plants, Koster said.
“The biggest difference is that the plants are grown in water instead of soil,” Koster said. “If you put a plant in soil, the only way you can deliver nutrients is to just dump it on the soil and it becomes the plant’s responsibility to try and reach the nutrients in the soil. We put the nutrients in the water and the water is constantly going to the plant. The nutrients always are available to the plant when they need them.”
It also adds a level of comfort to customers who prefer the transparency of water-based growing, knowing exactly what’s going into their greens, as opposed to the uncertainty of unknown elements that can come from soil-based growing.
• See KOSTER on next page

“You’re not subject to any contaminants that’s already in the soil,” Koster said. “We’re enclosed here. When stuff is growing out in an open field, you’ll have an animal or a bird that poops on the stuff and it only gets washed off somewhat and gets sold, and that’s a common way E. coli gets into produce.”
Customers also appreciate being able to get fresh greens all year.
“It’s nice to supply the community with a fresh, clean product that you can get year-round,”
Koster said. “One of the biggest advantages we have here is the freshness at which we’re able to deliver our product to our customers. When we sell at the farmers every week, what they are buying Saturday morning had been harvested on Friday.”
Koster’s crops can be found on Saturdays at the Twin City Farmers Market in Sterling, as well as at County Market grocery stores in Sterling and Dixon, Oliver’s Corner Market in Dixon, Polo Fresh Market, and Country Lane Market in Tampico. They can also be found in restaurant kitchens at Arthur’s Garden Deli, in Dixon, Sterling, Rock Falls and Rock Island.
The climate-controlled greenhouse measures 44 feet wide by 128 feet long and can hold up to nearly 10,000 different plants. The entire system comes from Cropking of Lodi, Ohio.
The process begins on a table in a room attached to the greenhouse; seeds are planted in moistened rock wool in large trays that are placed under a clear domes and controlled lighting, where they germinate and begin to grow. A heating pad under the trays helps create humidity. While some seeds can’t wait to sprout, others are tougher to crack, especially spinach, which Koster has to nurture to get them soft enough to germinate.

until fully grown. Once plants are removed, each panel is cleaned and sanitized before taking on its next batch of budding young plants.
To ensure the water’s consistency, the system is set up with a sample pot that tests pH balance and electrical conductivity. If there’s an imbalance, an automatic system kicks in to restore normal levels.
Having control of the process makes a big difference in the quality of the greens.
“You’re definitely going to be at an advantage as to the healthiness of the crop,” Koster said. “Since we’re able to control most all aspects of the plant, we can make a lot better plants. It’s getting watered all of the time, and it’s getting all of the right nutrients all of the time. When you give a plant everything it needs, it’s going to turn into a very nice looking product.”
Koster’s wife Ally and his mother Anne help with the hydroponic business. Anne works the farmers market table in Sterling and enjoys spreading the word about hydroponics, especially how the process minimizes the environmental footprint and contributes to a greener planet.
“Overall, it’s a very clean, very good way to grow vegetables,” Koster said.

• ROUNDUP
Continued from page 18
With the game tied with under five seconds to play in overtime, Rock Falls had an out-of-bounds play ready for Heald.
Swish.
Heald drilled a 3-pointer from the corner and Riverdale was unable to get a shot off with 1.5 seconds left after a timeout as Rock Falls escaped with a 61-58 overtime win.
It was Heald’s sixth 3-pointer in the game and he set the Rock Falls career mark for 3-pointers with 256. Isaiah Johnson had the previous mark of 254, which he set in 2004.
Rock Falls’ win was on track to be drama-free in regulation with the Rockets up 52-45 with 35 seconds left before Austin Castaneda was called for a technical after a foul. The senior fouled out in the process.
Riverdale freshman Colton Clark stepped up to make 3-of-4 free throws and hit two more after another Rock Falls foul to make it 52-50.
Rock Falls turned it over on another possession and Jackson Tegeler tied the game with 14 seconds left. The Rams (21-10) even had a shot to win it at
the buzzer but Cole Mulnix, as he did frequently all night, came up with a key block.
Riverdale outscored Rock Falls 19-9 in the fourth quarter to force overtime.
Rock Falls trailed by four in extra time before tying it to set up Heald’s game-winner.
“When Timmy hit that corner 3, the whole crowd just erupted with energy,” Castaneda said. “That was a great game. Credit to Riverdale. They’re a good team.”
Aris Morgan led Riverdale with 22 points and Jacob Watson had 11.
“He hit a good shot at the end,” Riverdale coach Alex Kelly said of Heald’s game-winner. “I thought our defense was OK. We were a little bit behind him. But credit to him, he hit the shot.”
Riverdale 68, Bureau Valley 59: Riverdale advanced to the Class 2A Bureau Valley Regional final, but not without some offensive fireworks by the Storm in the semifinal.
Bureau Valley (21-11), seeded sixth, scored 27 points in the fourth quarter. Elijah Endress (12 points) hit three late 3-pointers and Landon Hulsing finished the game with 20 points.
But the third-seeded Rams (21-9) always had an answer against the Lincoln Trail Conference champions.

Riverdale scored 28 points of its own in the fourth quarter and hit 11 free throws. Paxton Kiddoo (17 points) hit five 3-pointers – one of which was a bank-shot – Aris Morgan had 20 points and Brody Clark had 13 of his 17 points in the last eight minutes.
Riverdale coach Alex Kelly expected a tough game against Bureau Valley in a loud road environment.
“We’re young. We had to kind of figure it out there,” he said. “I thought our leaders stepped up. I thought we moved the ball well against their zone. They’ve got a really good 1-3-1 that they ran and we kind of handled it pretty good.
“They’re tough, they’re a really good team, they’re well-coached. We knew we were in for a battle. ... They’ve got really good senior leadership and we knew we were in for 32 minutes.”
Eastland 50, Fulton 24: Eastland rolled to the Class 1A West Carroll Regional final as Adam Awender and Peyton Spears each scored 15 points and Parker Krogman had nine. The Cougars led 34-11 at halftime. Landen Leu led the Steamers with eight points.
Eastland 55, Sterling Newman 44: A hot start and smothering defense led to a regional title for Eastland on Feb. 28.
The Cougars hit their first four shots and Newman never recovered after
several early turnovers in the loss in the Class 1A West Carroll Regional final.
“We’re known to start slow [on offense], but defense has always traveled for us and that’s kind of what we rely on,” Eastland forward Parker Krogman said. “When you can get some defensive stops, it makes it so much easier, and then once you get those points, you can get that lead for the rest of the game.”
Eastland (29-4) built a nine-point lead in the first five minutes and never trailed. The Comets (19-15) got to within five a couple of times and trailed 27-21 at halftime.
The Cougars came out strong in the second half, dissecting Newman’s defense with aggressive cuts and precision passing. After building a 33-23 lead less than three minutes into the third quarter, the Cougars led by at least seven points the rest of the way.
The Cougars will face Dakota in a Class 1A Pecatonica Sectional semifinal on Wednesday and with a win could get another shot at top-ranked Pecatonica in the title game for the second straight season. Two of Eastland’s losses this season have come against Pecatonica, who also won that Sweet 16 game last year.
