Trap tags available for Upper Mississippi refuge

Trappers will need a state-issued trapping license and habitat stamp

By BRANDON CLARK bclark@shawmedia.com

THOMSON – Trap tags for the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge in Thomson are available for sale.

Trap tags can be bought for $30 using cash or check at the Savanna District office at 7071 Riverview Road in Thomson or at other district offices in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and require a state trapping license. Refuge employees cannot access the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources electronic system, so Wisconsin residents need to provide printed proof of their trapping privileges.

According to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, trap tags are used to identify trap owners trying to catch furbearers, which are wild animals typically hunted for their fur. That include beavers, badgers, foxes, minks and others. Tags must be marked with the owner’s name and address or a custom identification

number from the IDNR.

Trappers in Illinois require a valid trapping license and a state habitat stamp. A trapper education course must first be completed before purchasing a trapping license for trappers born on or after Jan. 1, 1998.

Trappers with a state-issued license can apply for a special-use permit allowing them to set up to 40 traps per day at the refuge.

Hunting or trapping bobcats requires a special permit and some furbearers, such as otters and bobcats,

require buying a pelt tag within 48 hours of their harvest. Pelt tags only can be purchased over the counter from licensed vendors.

Trapping licenses and habitat stamps can be purchased online through ExploreMoreIL, over the counter from a licensed vendor or by calling 866-452-4325.

The following are season dates for furbearer trapping:

Red Cross: Blood donors vital in response to impact of hurricanes Helene, Milton

SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com

The American Red Cross is continuing to work to restock critically needed blood products uncollected because of the ongoing impact of hurricanes Helene and Milton in the southeast and Florida.

Donors outside of affected areas are encouraged to make an appointment to give now and help keep the blood supply stable in the weeks to come.

Since making landfall, Helena and its aftermath have led to the cancellation of more than 100 blood drives, causing thousands of blood and platelet donations to go uncollected.

“For so many people living with urgent medical care needs, blood transfusions are essential, and donations in the Southeast are key to keeping our nationwide network stocked. The Red Cross operates through a national inventory with the ability to move blood wherever and whenever it is needed most,” the Red Cross said in a news release.

Anyone interested in giving blood or platelets can visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-733-2767. They also can use the Red Cross Blood Donor App.

“As the Red Cross continues to urge people to give blood or platelets now, our teams are also on the ground providing vital relief − like food, water, shelter and support − in communities devastated by Hurricane Helene. If you’re able to help those impacted by disasters big and small across the country, like Helene,

How to donate blood

Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-733-2767 or enable the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients.

A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.

Underground Railroad is topic of Fulton Historical Society meeting Oct. 20

By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com

FULTON – The Fulton (Martin House) Museum will host its monthly program at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20.

This month’s presentation is on the Underground Railroad as it relates to the strategic role played by Clinton County, Iowa, and Whiteside County in the years before the Civil War.

Slavery was the most contentious issue in America before the Civil War. The Underground Railroad is the story of enslaved people who took the question of their personal freedom into their own hands and the people who aided them in their quest to find safe haven in Canada. The secret network was so effective that slave catchers declared it was as if escapees from slavery had gone underground.

The presentation will illustrate how geography and human conscience combined to make Clinton and Whiteside counties key players in the Under-

ground Railroad network.

The presenter will be Herb Shafer, a retired pastor and amateur historian. For 47 years, he pastored at Iowa churches, including the First Methodist Church of Clinton from 1998 to 2007. He and his wife, Jan, then resided in southeast Iowa, where he pastored in Mount Pleasant and later in Van Buren County.

For nine years, Jan operated the Bentonsport Village Bed and Breakfast. Guests’ curiosity about the Underground Railroad led to a search for documented stories to provide a glimpse of the workings of the “freedom trail.”

The results of that research, as it relates to the local community, will be part of the presentation.

The Shafers retired to this area in 2022 and live in Fulton.

The program is free and open to the public. The Martin House is located at 707 10th Ave. in Fulton. The building is accessible through the north entrance. Refreshments will be served.

In September, Timber Lake Playhouse announced the departure of its longtime Executive Director Dan Danielowski.

“Dan has been instrumental to the organization’s growth for over a decade and we are deeply appreciative of his leadership and dedication to Timber Lake Playhouse. We are also grateful for our patrons and the community for their unwavering support as we enter this period of transition,” according to a news release issued by Timber Lake Playhouse management.

Ingrown toenails can require extensive treatment

It is difficult to believe that something so small that starts so slowly can be so painful, but those who have experienced ingrown toenails certainly are aware of the trouble they may cause.

While often they remain a painful nuisance and sometimes quite so at times, they also can progress on to some potentially significant infections or cause other problems that may require extensive treatment.

The good news is that most ingrown toenails generally can be prevented. In the early stages, conservative treatment often has been quite helpful and may save someone

The No. 1 cause of an ingrown toenail is simply cutting the nail too short. When this happens, the nail, as it grows out, grows into the folds of the skin or the folds of skin that overlap with the nail. Often this is not immediately noticed until there has been a fair amount of progression and the nail is well imbedded into the skin.

This starts to lead to pain and inflammation and then sometimes infection, sometimes having some drainage, etc.

The following measures of prevention also may be considered part of the early treatment or treatment for all but the more advanced ingrown toenails.

• Avoid cutting the nail too short. Always have it longer than the skin underneath it.

• Avoid pressure to this region of any form, such as too tight of shoes or any other constriction.

Finally, if you should have a more severe ingrown toenail or one

that is resistant to the measures above, even after other treatments, antibiotics, etc., it is possible that you may need to consider surgery for the same. This involves removing a portion of the nail, generally down to the base.

While anesthesia is usually employed, unfortunately, this still can be a painful procedure at times, as well as expensive, so we try to avoid that if possible.

Many recurrences do occur, even with this measure, as well as with the other measures. So prevention and early recognition remain the most important items.

Woman charged with burning down house to collect insurance money

By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com

MORRISON – A Prophetstown woman has been formally charged with two counts of arson, one count of residential arson and one count of insurance fraud in connection with an April fire that destroyed a Prophetstown residence.

Donna M. McKenna, 52, was

charged with the felony offenses Wednesday in Whiteside County Circuit Court. According to court documents detailing the residential arson charge, McKenna, in the course of committing an arson on April 2, knowingly damaged a home at 217 Douglas St.

The count of insurance fraud alleges McKenna obtained or attempted to obtain, by deception, $100,000 or more

from Country Mutual Insurance Co. “by making, or causing to be made, a false claim on an insurance policy issued by Country Mutual Insurance Company.”

The residential arson and the insurance fraud charges are Class 1 felonies.

Of the two arson charges, one accuses McKenna, by means of fire or explosive, of knowingly damaging the residence without the homeowner’s

consent. The other charge alleges that she knowingly used fire or an explosive device to damage the property with the intent to defraud the insurer. Both of those charges are Class 2 felonies.

Media reports at the time of the fire indicate the house was declared a total loss.

McKenna is to appear in court at 9 a.m. Nov. 4.

Cordova man to be inducted into Illinois Outdoor Hall of Fame

SHAW LOCAL NEWS NETWORK contact@shawmedia.com

SPRINGFIELD – A Cordova man is one of seven Illinois residents who will be inducted into the Illinois Outdoor Hall of Fame.

The Illinois Conservation Foundation board of directors announced the selections last week in a news release. The formal inductions will occur during the annual ICF Gala to be held in the spring.

According to the ICF, Jeremiah Haas, an aquatic biologist at the Constellation Quad Cities Clean Energy Center, has dedicated his career to the management and operation of the Quad Cities Fish Hatchery.

3K run, disc golf tourney set for Oct. 19 in Morrison MORRISON – Morrison is hosting a costumed 3K run and disc golf night tournament Saturday, Oct. 19, to raise money in the fight against child trafficking.

The Nightmare On High Street 3K Run/ Walk encourages runners to dress in their favorite Halloween costume. A costume contest will take place at 9 a.m.

“Under his leadership, the hatchery has successfully stocked more than 9 million game fish into the Mississippi River and various state lakes in Illinois and Iowa, significantly contributing to the region’s aquatic biodiversity,” according to the release.

In 2023, Haas spearheaded the implementation of a cutting-edge recirculating aquaculture system that has not only improved the hatchery’s efficiency but also minimized environmental influence by reducing water use and eliminating the need for herbicides.

“Beyond his professional duties, Haas is deeply committed to educating the public about conservation. He regularly sponsors tours of the hatchery, engages with local communities, col-

followed by the start of the race at Genesee and High streets.

Cost is $15 to participate or runners can pay $35 to receive a commemorative glow-in-the-dark shirt.

The fun continues after the sun starts to set with the disc golf night tournament at 5:30 p.m. at Kelly Park, 300 E. High St. Registration is $40 and includes a disc.

laborates on innovative projects to enhance natural habitats and he also writes articles for a variety of publications promoting fishing and outdoor recreation. His dedication to preserving Illinois’ natural resources and fostering outdoor recreational opportunities makes him a deserving inductee into the Illinois Outdoor Hall of Fame,” according to the release.

“It’s an honor to welcome these individuals into the Illinois Outdoor Hall of Fame and to recognize their outstanding commitment to the outdoors and nature,” said Natalie Phelps Finnie, chair of the ICF board and director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Since 2002, the ICF has recognized

Proceeds from the events will support Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) Rescue, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting child trafficking. Morrison Recreational Services Director Nathan Jacobs said he was moved to work with the group after watching the movie “Sound of Freedom,” which was inspired by the work of OUR’s founder, Tim Ballard.

“I couldn’t think of a better matchup

Illinoisans for their significant contributions and unparalleled dedication to the preservation, promotion, enhancement or support of natural resources and outdoor recreation opportunities with induction into the Illinois Outdoor Hall of Fame.

Other inductees are Angela Funk of Armington, Henry Eilers of Litchfield, Matt Mullady of Kankakee, Rich McElligott of Lee, Terry Wunderle of Mason City and Thomas Foss of Wonder Lake.
