Fulton residents seeking farm-fresh sweet corn just need to travel a couple of miles outside of city limits to Sikkema Farm, where the seasonal crop is picked every day, rain or shine. The farm opened for the season last week, with hundreds of bags of sweet corn already sold to new and returning customers. Farmer Seth Sikkema of Fulton said the corn is first harvested around the Fourth of July and will hopefully continue through Labor Day, weather depending. By that time, the farm also will be yielding watermelons and pumpkins, which will be available at the farm or Hy-Vee in Clinton. The 62-acre farm has 52 acres of tillable land, with 6-8 acres dedicated to sweet corn and the rest to a few other crops. Last year, the family harvested about 200 bins or 10,000 melons, Seth said. The farm has been in the Sikkema family since 1947, though the house on the lot now sits empty. The sweet corn sales have always been a family operation, with Viola and Lenny Sikkema starting the tradition about 25 years ago. They were busy bagging and selling the corn in the Morton building as Seth and his aunt Chris McCann returned from the fields with

Besides sweet corn, Sikkema Farm will have pumpkins and watermelon later in the season, with acres of the crops now growing in the fields. fresh hauls. The sweet corn sales have been a side gig for the family and local seasonal helpers, but one that helped put the Sikkema kids and grandkids through college. Seth just graduated from St. Ambrose University with a degree in accounting, but the farm work is something he looks forward to continuing, at least on a seasonal basis. “It’s an honor to carry on the family tradition,” he said with a smile. Sikkema Farm is located at 21270 Cattail Road in Fulton. Just follow the signs

on Route 84 and make a turn before Hunter’s Sports Bar 2. A baker’s dozen (13 ears) sells for $5, though larger orders can be placed in advance. The farm’s hours of operation may vary, though they’re typically open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or until the corn is sold out for the day. They also set up at the Lyons Farmers Market in Clinton. Follow “Sikkema Farm” on social media for daily updates or to see when and where you can get the savory and seasonal sweet corn.

A jury in the Circuit Court at Morrison decided that Quality Ready Mix Co., an Iowa corporation owned by Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Holesinger of Fulton, should have $78,000 for 6.7429 acres of land near the river and damage to adjacent land resulting from construction of the flood control system. Further delays in the “freeing” of two local toll bridges are indicated from the Iowa Highway Department. The likely date was July 1. The latest prediction is for “early winter.” The IHD has set Sept. 23 as the date for opening bids for removing tolls booths and making other repairs to the bridges.

YOUR HEALTH

The importance of vitamin D, vitamin K2 and boron are discussed By STEVEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Many of us have heard of the wonderful health properties of vitamin D. Dr. Jeff Bowles has taken vitamin D to the next level in his book “The Miraculous Cure and Prevention of All Diseases.” Bowles notes that a simple hormone the body produces will influence everything from heart disease to cancer, gut health, mental health and energy. The entire spectrum of the ever-expanding conditions of autoimmune disease is influenced by the hormone

known as vitamin D. Bowles cites evidence that at times when our country supplemented with more vitamin D, we had far less of the above conditions. He notes if we return to this supplementation, we will regain much of that health. Bowles points out that when vitamin D is taken with the proper minerals there is no true overdose. What happens when the proper ingredients are not present is that excess calcium enters into our systems and causes problems. This imbalance is driven by factors such as not having adequate magnesium. Bowles points out there are two more

supplements to keep in mind to provide the proper balance. These are vitamin K2 and boron. Many providers know about vitamin K and the impact on warfarin or Coumadin, which are blood thinners. Vitamin K2 is a distinct molecule with different properties of substantial significance. Vitamin K1, which helps with clotting, is found in plants. Vitamin K2 is found in animals and fermented foods and helps to deposit excess calcium in the proper places. Some feel these two vitamins are distinctly different and should be reclassified. K2 is further

classified into the more natural MK4 and the synthetic MK7. Studies show vitamin K2 improves heart health and longevity. The importance of vitamin K2 with vitamin D and magnesium is to be emphasized. In the mix of importance for bone health and soft tissues is boron. Some supplements have this included. Individuals may need from 3 to 10 milligrams. Others may need more. Finally, one must be precautionary of the retinol form of excess vitamin A, which can offset the benefits of high dose vitamin D.

Trap shooting gaining popularity in Sauk Valley area By DAN WUSSOW

dwussow@shawmedia.com

One of the fastest-growing sports in the Sauk Valley area – and in the nation – is high school trap shooting. In the Sauk Valley area, several teams have sprung up in the past few years. Included in those local schools are Milledgeville, Polo, Eastland, Morrison, Prophetstown, Forreston and Faith Christian School. Prophetstown is one of the bigger teams in the area with about 38 competitors. After seven competition weeks this year, it made a June 4 trip to Bunker Hill for the state championship, finishing eighth out of 47 teams. At state, the competitions are broken down into three categories: novice, JV and varsity. Prophetstown coach Gabe Olinger was pleased with how his team performed overall, and he was especially impressed with the novice group this year. “At the state tournament, our novice team actually got second in the whole state,” Olinger said. “One boy from the team, Bryce Folsom, he just started shooting this year and his average was low enough during the league that he was still a novice. Well, in the last couple of weeks before state, he really improved and he ended up getting first in the novice division.” Another standout for Prophetstown

Morrison High School trap shooter Nate Schaefer pockets one of the spent shells. this season was Sabrina Soleta, who got second among females in Conference 4. Overall, the team finished third in its conference. At state, the scoring system is designed in a way that allows smaller teams to compete with bigger ones. With the amount of variance there is from team to team, this system allows a team such as Morrison to contend with a team such as Prophetstown. “For state, they take the five best scores from the team from the varsity

to get your team score. It kind of really levels the playing field since we have a real big team of around 38 kids,” Olinger said. “There’s some schools like Morrison, I think they only have like 12 kids on the team. If they have five kids that shoot really well, they can compete with the bigger teams.” Morrison, which is coached by Andy Riggen and Mary Schaefer, is one of the startup teams, having begun just two years ago. With only eight competitors on the roster – seven boys and one girl – the Mustangs are one of the smallest teams in the area.

Morrison also made the trip to Bunker Hill this season after battling through some challenging weather early on. “We started with a lot of bad weather – rain, wind, etc. So the better weather made the shooting more fun,” Riggen said. “We had six school competitions and we went to Bunker Hill for state. Most of the kids have only shot at one gun club because the scores are on the internet and we don’t know who we’re shooting against. Being at state for the kids was a real eye-opener. They did very good that day.” When Olinger started six years ago, there were about 80 students competing at state. This year, there were 800. “The sport has grown almost double every year since we started,” Olinger said. “It is actually the fastest-growing sport in the nation right now.” Olinger and Riggen expect that trend of growth to continue for the foreseeable future. “Trap shooting is a safe, growing sport and just getting a good start in Illinois,” Riggen said. “Trapshooting is known for having the nicest, friendliest people. We really enjoy it.” “From what I’ve seen the last six years, the sport is growing exponentially every year,” Olinger said. On July 6-10, Prophetstown competed at nationals at MTA Homegrounds in Mason, Michigan, in a field of more than 3,000 youth shooters.

Port Byron’s Murray takes second place in Reagan Run 5K in Dixon By DAN WUSSOW

dwussow@shawmedia.com

DIXON – Back at its usual location through the streets of Dixon – stretching from Ronald Reagan’s Boyhood Home on Hennepin Avenue, across the Rock River and through the woods in Page Park and then back across the river to Haymarket Square on Highland Avenue – the 22nd annual Reagan Run 5K took place Saturday morning, July 2. A field of 774 participants, ranging in age from 7 to 84, ran or walked this year’s race as onlookers gathered on either side of the course, dotting the landscape over its 3.1-mile route. Sterling’s Jacob Gebhardt, 22, was first to cross the finish line, recording a personal-record time of 15:24.25 – nearly 30 seconds faster than the second-place finisher and almost 40 seconds faster than his previous best at the annual race. Port Byron’s Tommy Murray was the second-place finisher, running a personal-record time of 15:53.80. Like Gebhardt, Murray is a veteran of the Reagan Run, having competed three or

ships in the 1,600 and 3,200-meter races, Murray, a 17-year-old Riverdale High School runner, was itching to get back into competition and run in a familiar

area again. “It felt really good. It’s my first road race, 5K this summer,” Murray said. “I’m super happy with it, good time. My grandparents live here and my mom grew up here, so I like to come to this race whenever they have it. “It’s a fun course. It’s a little bit tricky because there’s some steep hills back in the woods over there, but I thought it was a super fun course just to come out here and run a nice 5K.” Dixon’s Brock Drengenberg, 19, came in third with a time of 16:05.03. Drengenberg was a state champion for the Dukes in the 800 meters in the Class 2A state finals in 2021. Sterling junior Dale Johnson, 16, finished fourth, completing his run in 16:08.27. Johnson was a Class 2A state track medalist in May, nabbing ninth place in the 1,600 and fifth in the 4x800 meters with teammates John Cid, Thomas Holcomb and Jordan Britt. Dixon’s Cadyn Grafton, 19, rounded out the top five with a time of 17:23.81. For complete results of the 2022 Reagan Run 5K, visit reaganrun.com or raceresultsplus.com.
