Kara’s expertise and experience will undoubtedly enhance family life educational programming in our communities.”

Schweitzer earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Saint Mary’s College in 2014 and a master’s degree in therapeutic recreation from the University of Iowa in 2016. She has maintained the certified therapeutic recreation specialist credential from the National Council of Therapeutic Recreation Certification since 2016.

Before joining Extension, Schweitzer worked as a recreational therapist in several health care and human service settings in Illinois and Indiana, including skilled nursing and memory care, inpatient and outpatient behavioral health care and community special recreation.

Odell to host program on vintage postcards

Odell Public Library and Illinois Humanities invite you to attend “The Happy Invention: The History and Significance of Picture Postcards” from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 19, at the library, 307 S. Madison St., Morrison.

Katherine Hamilton-Smith

Katherine Hamilton-Smith, the founding curator of the Teich Archives at the Newberry Library, shares a look at the documentary power and meaning of picture postcards. She touches on the Curt Teich Company of Chicago, the role Illinois played in the history and development of postcards and the picture postcard as a cultural icon.

In the U.S., the first commercially produced picture

postcards were printed for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, making Illinois the birthplace of the American picture postcard. Since that time, billions of postcards of every aspect of life have been printed, featuring train stations and bandstands, street views and cartoons, ads for products and services, beauties and freaks, social history both whimsical and dark and everything in between. An early mention of postcards in the diary of a Welsh curate called them “a happy invention.”

Reservations are encouraged but are not required for this program. Call the library at 815-772-7323 to reserve your seat.

The free event is co-produced by the Illinois Humanities Road Scholars Speakers Bureau, which invites Illinois authors, artists and educators to share their expertise and enthusiasm with people throughout the state, enabling local nonprofit organizations to present cultural programs to their communities.

He graduated from American University in Wahington, D.C. After graduating, Al went on to serve his country in the United States Army.

Al was a great man and touched many hearts throughout his life. He learned Japanese in the military and utilized that (and his admirable charm and mind) to work his way up through many different jobs in the international shipping industry after the war.

Al and Mary’s passion was raising three very different children well, traveling the world in their retirement, spoiling their grandchildren and befriending almost everyone they ran into in their travels. They were

both dedicated Christian church members at various congregations throughout the world. Al was an avid reader, and spent as much time outside sun-tanning at home or on the beach as he did traveling to places that had beaches, and when not traveling for work, he loved just being at home and being a dad.

While he had some significant health issues relating to exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam, smoking on and off for many years, and a good amount of lavish living, he contracted Covid almost exactly one year ago in February 2023. The very serious case of Covid had him in hospital and after-care for 40 days which inevitably and dramatically weakened his already fragile state at the time. He never really fully recovered.

The Fulton Steamers successfully defended their regional title as they won for the third time this season over Morrison 65-56 in the finals.

It was decided during Tuesday night’s City Council meeting to again advertise for bids on $230,000 worth of waterworks and sewerage bonds, which will be opened at an adjourned council meeting March 19. Four bids on these bonds were returned unopened to the bidders at the Feb. 5 meeting because of a conflict over cer-

tain materials to be used in the construction of the city’s secondary sewage treatment plant. Funds from the sale of the bonds will be used to provide the city’s share of the financing for the plant, which engineers say will cost about $750,000.

Fire departments in the Fulton and Clinton area gave a fine demonstration of mutual cooperation in fighting fires when they worked together on one of the most damaging Fulton fires in recent years. Fire Chief Delb Housenga was lavish in his praise of the way neighboring departments responded to Fulton’s call for help when D and V Automotive buildings on Route 30 caught fire. Departments responding were Thomson, Albany, Morrison, Cordova and

Fulton now has enough police officers to provide protection 24 hours a day with an officer on duty at all times. For many previous years, an officer who just finished a shift or was about to start a shift was required to be available on an on-call basis. This meant the officer would answer all police calls even though he was not on duty. The officers were not paid for the time they were on call, but through the years have accumulated many hours of such time. At a safety committee meeting, Alderman Sikkema recommended to the council that it was the committee’s belief that the city was not liable for any compensation. Three aldermen voted in favor of the motion to not pay for accumulated time. Three other aldermen voted no. By voting no, they believe the city should be liable for payment. The mayor broke the tie by voting not to allow payment.

Ammon’s Cafe observed its first anniversary by offering specials throughout the day. Winners of door prizes were W. Dean Carlson, Mike Diercks and Carol Meurs, $10 gift cer-

tificates to Fulton Meat Market; Ann Kyarsgaard, Lyne Zahnle, Ken Voss and Alta Stiles, $10 gift certificates to Ammon’s Cafe; and Melvin Decker, Don Krambeck and Mary Ratcliff, $10 gift certificates to Ben Franklin.

The Fulton City Council had a busy night that resulted in the purchase of tracts of land and the possibility of adding acres to Fulton’s Industrial Park. Of most interest to the people of Fulton was the purchase of the J.T. Cullen property that is no longer used by the firm after it moved to its new plant in the south part of the city.

Electromagnetic fields in the human body are discussed

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.

The human body is designed to run on electricity and is influenced by electricity, whether internal or external. Even what we eat and think influences that electricity, which contributes to the flow and movement of the human mind and body. It would be no surprise that external forces have the potential to influence us. Science is quite clear that electromagnetic fields influence us. The only debate is how much and can we do anything about them.

First, mini electromagnetic fields are natural. The sun emits radiation and causes electromagnetic fields. The Earth has its own magnetic field. Generally, though, when people talk about EMFs, they are referring to the electromagnetic fields from our modern devices such as microwaves, X-ray machines, electric power lines or indoor lights.

There are two types of electromagnetic fields. Low to mid frequency electromagnetic fields are caused by washing machines, microwaves, cellphones and hairdryers, along with MRI machines and power lines. High frequency electromagnetic fields include the ionizing radiation by X-ray machines, CT scanners and tanning beds. The sun is a high frequency EMF, as is gamma radiation by radioactive elements.

More and more there is concern about low and mid frequency EMF. As far back as 2011, the international agency for research on cancer classified these lower levels of EMF as possible human carcinogens. The National Cancer Institute has similar findings and statements. This has included a small, but noticeable, increase in childhood leukemia risk for those close to power lines. Also, women have a higher risk of developing breast cancer through these lower-level fre -

quency exposures.

The World Health Organization has created a new condition for those who are sensitive to EMF, known as electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). Common symptoms include heart palpitations, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, concentration difficulties and digestive disturbances. In studies, rats have shown neuropsychiatric impact similar to Alzheimer’s disease. Also, tissue heating to a dangerous degree may be an impact. The impact is not limited to human beings. Certain types of trees, bird species, some mammals and plants are being affected as well.

Electromagnetic fields have been determined to be disruptive to sleep, which is a vital element in our well-being. The production of melatonin may be interrupted by this force. There is brainwave interference that has been measured, which may contribute to stress

Some tips for safety:

• Reduce your exposure and proximity to power lines and transformers.

• Minimize EMF emailing devices in the home. Older TV and computer screens may be more powerful sources of EMF than some of the modern ones. An upgrade to LED, plasma and LCD screens are safer. Stay a minimum of 3 to 6 feet from these devices.

• Reduce cellphone usage; wired headphones appear to be safer than Bluetooth.

• Unplug any electric power devices that aren’t necessary to keep running at night. In an ideal world, this would include TVs, clocks and computers. Turning off the Wi-Fi router at night also may be helpful.

Students who are at least age 14 years and 6 months may enroll in the classroom phase. These students will be able to participate in BTW driving sessions later in the summer or during the fall 2024 semester upon turning 15.

Students also will need to pay a $20 instruction permit fee to the Illinois Secretary of State when they apply for their instruction permits. Note that the $20 permit fee must be paid separately and should not be submitted

GO STEAMERS AND KNIGHTS!

By DAN WUSSOW dwussow@shawmedia.com

HANOVER – Going into the Class 1A River Ridge Sectional semifinal against top-seeded Pecatonica, Fulton knew it needed to bring its “A” game to emerge with the win and secure its second straight trip to the Sweet 16.

For most of the first half and part of the third quarter, the game was going pretty well for the Steamers. They played the Indians to within four points for the first 2:32 of the third quarter.

But when Pecatonica senior guard Mason Peterson hit three 3-pointers in a row in 57 seconds, the Steamers never recovered. Pecatonica rolled to a 64-46 win Feb. 28 after the 13-2 run initiated by Peterson.

“I was feeling pretty confident, but credit to my teammates to find me when I’m open,” Peterson said. “We got defensive stops, it led to fast-break 3s and led to good offense to convert into those 3s. It was just great.”

“Those 3s were huge,” Pecatonica junior guard Cooper Hoffman said. “It was kind of close then and then Petey came out and hit three 3s and it was just like we had the game controlled

there. We couldn’t really lose it from then on.”

The first quarter was high-scoring. Pecatonica (30-5) took a 24-18 lead after one quarter, led by 10 points from Hoffman. For Fulton (23-12), senior guard Trevor Tiesman scored seven points and sophomore forward Landen Leu hit a pair of 3s to keep it a two-possession game in the first quarter.

“Defensively, we were just trying to keep the Hoffman kid out of the paint. We struggled there a little bit, but then we kind of went to our 2-3 in the second quarter and we were able to identify their shooters and kind of slow them down a little bit,” Fulton coach RJ Coffey said. “Offensively, I thought we were getting some good looks. We were attacking the rim, we weren’t finish-

ing, and I don’t think we knocked down enough shots from the perimeter.

“In the third quarter, really, we came out pretty well offensively, we were trading bucket for bucket, we just couldn’t find a way to get enough stops.”

The Indians opened the second quarter with a 6-0 run to expand a 12-point lead, but Fulton rallied to within 33-26 by halftime. Leu sparked a 6-0 run for the Steamers, scoring backto-back layups 40 seconds apart, the second of which came off a half-court dish from junior guard Braeden Brennan. Junior forward Dom Kramer capped the run with a layup just past the two-minute mark.

In the third quarter, Leu drew the Steamers to within four points on two occasions, but that’s as close as they would get.

“I think the first quarter we made our shots basically and then the second quarter, they just weren’t falling,” Leu said. “We played good. We played with them. There’s just not really a whole lot you can do when shots aren’t going down. But we played our hearts out.”

Continued from page 12

Only 24 seconds into the third quarter, Leu nailed a 3 to draw to within 33-29. With 5:48 remaining, he hit a short shot off a Tiesman inbounds pass to make it 37-33.

The Indians answered with a 13-2 run.

After the three 3s by Peterson, Hoffman made a layup and junior guard Jordan Gassman made a reverse layup off a baseline drive to stretch it to a 50-35 lead with 2:58 left. Hoffman put an exclamation point on the 22-point third quarter, hitting a step-back 3 with two seconds left.

Pecatonica led 55-39 after three quarters. Fulton never got closer than 12 points in the fourth quarter.

Steamers All-State senior forward Baylen Damhoff was limited to only 10 points in the game thanks to an outstanding defensive effort by the Indians.

“I gotta credit Drew [Williams] and Jordan [Gassman] for everything they did on him. They really shut him down,” Hoffman said. “They didn’t really allow him to do much, so I think I’ve gotta give credit to them.”

Peterson credited the coach’s game plan for the strong performance.

“Just a great game plan by our

coach [Bobby Heisler] and us executing it. We struggled in the first quarter defensively, but then we locked it

didn’t get easy touches, making sure he was always contested. We knew every single player, what they wanted, what their weaknesses were, what there strengths were and we just executed on that.”

Leu finished with 17 points and five rebounds. Tiesman totaled 12 points and three assists. Damhoff had three rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Kramer chipped in five points, five rebounds and three assists for the Steamers.

Hoffman led the Indians with a game-high 25 points and added six rebounds and two assists. Peterson tallied 20 points and three rebounds with six 3-pointers. Junior guard Jaxon Diedrich stuffed the stat sheet with nine points, five rebounds, four steals and three assists. Gassman had six points and six rebounds.

“Making sure that Baylen Damhoff

“This group’s accomplished so much. Obviously, tonight didn’t go our way, but I’m so proud of what our guys have done this year,” Coffey said. “This senior group, back-toback conference titles, back-to-back regional titles, last year with Sweet 16. They’ve accomplished so much. This group’s given us so much and overall I’m just super proud of all of their accomplishments and everything they did. We’re going to miss them. We’ve got seven good seniors and we’re going to miss them all.”
