BRIEFS
Fulton council amends cannabis ordinances BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media
The Fulton City Council amended two ordinances on the regulation of recreational cannabis March 22. City Attorney Bill Shirk first reviewed the amendments, asking the council to address initial and annual fees for business licenses and growers. He said those fees are $2,500 annually in Sterling, and $1,750 in Dixon. The Fulton Council had previously agreed to a non-refundable initial fee of $10,000 for retail licenses, plus the same for the annual renewal, and voted that rate in. They also added to and amended the ordinance pertaining to the permitted uses of land usage in an outlying business district. The council agreed to the parameters, which would let a recreational cannabis business operate in an area defined as bound by Highway 84 to the east, Highway 136 to the north, and
16th Ave. to the south, or the land next to The Dispensary. The ordinance states that cannabis businesses are prohibited within the corporate limits of Fulton. The council also approved a resolution in support of Junior Achievement Day on April 1, and approved a contract extension for the interim City Administrator from June 24 to Sept. 30, 2021. In Committee of the Whole discussion, the council was given an update on the Olsen lot in the industrial district, discussed the tourism position left vacant after Aaron Fullan resigned this month, learned that a Blue Grass Festival will be held at Heritage Canyon on Saturday, June 26, and that a Blessing of the Bikes will be on Sunday, June 6. The council also reviewed a UTV ordinance update and the School Resource Officer contract for the River Bend School District, discussed water and sewer rate increases, and held a final review on the budget.

Vaccination site opens in Rock Falls The Whiteside County Health Department has set up a vaccination site at the McCormick Event Center downtown. The health department is focusing on open registration for vaccinating the county’s elderly population of those 65 and older, but expanded the clinic to those with high-risk conditions or disabilities eligible in Phase 1b+ of the vaccination plan. The goal is to vaccinate as much of the elderly population as they can before vaccination eligibility expands April 12 to everyone 16 and older. Residents can schedule an appointment online at covidvaccination.dph.illinois.gov/ or by calling 1-833621-1284. The scheduling system we are currently using has been provided to us by the State of Illinois and is currently being utilized across the State by multiple providers.
ELECTION
Fulton voters to choose mayor, alderman BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media
Fulton voters will choose between Kevin Wright and Wendy Ottens for Mayor at the April 6 Consolidated Election. The only contested Alderman race is between Paul Banker and Teresa Decker for Ward Four. For Alderman Ward Two, Harley Hunt is the only candidate, as is Sue VanKampen for Ward Three. No candidates filed for Alderman Ward One and City Clerk. Name: Kevin Wright, 42 Family: Girlfriend Heather, children Jasmine, Isaac, Dylan, and Isabella Occupation: Railserve ground switch helper Previous political experience: First time running Volunteer organiKevin Wright zations you’ve been
involved in: Fulton Fire Department What do you hope to accomplish if elected: I would like to work with the council on putting a 5-yr. plan together for fixing our roads and public safety. I would like to work with the IDOT on getting more cross walks put in on 14th Ave to make it safer for our students to cross when walking to and from school, and try to bring more small businesses to our downtown. I want people to be able to say we have one of the best little towns along the Mississippi.

Also, to make appointments as necessary, create committees and appoint who will serve on them, break a tie vote, but most importantly be a visible leader. I plan if elected on giving specific hours or days that I would be at City Hall for consult or questions. I would be happy to meet anyone for a discussion if you don’t feel comfortable coming to City Hall. I believe public service of any kind always teaches and blesses your life more than the service itself, by far!
REGIONAL NEWS
BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media It’s only been about two weeks since an audaciously bold plan was revealed by Living Lands & Waters founder Chad Pregracke, but the buzz is still building. The Quad Cities visionary and team announced an exciting vision for the future of the Interstate 80 bridge during a livestream event on March 18 and the initiative is going strong on social media platforms. The plan is to save the old I-80 bridge and repurpose it into a National Park to be enjoyed by locals, tourists, and bison, while making the longest manmade wildlife crossing in the world. Intrigued citizens immediately weighed in on the iconic proposal, showing support by adding Bison Bridge photo frames on social media, discussing the pros and cons of such a proposal, and dreaming of a national landmark that would put the region on the map. Even “Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe shared the project to his 5+ million followers. “It’s not a tax funded thing, but he’s got to convince the powers that be to get on board with permits and permissions and so forth. Give it a look, and if you think it’s worthwhile, leave your name behind,” Rowe wrote. The plan may seem impossible, or like Pregracke told the viewers “outside the box big thinking.” Many questions need to be answered, pieces need to fall in place, the bureaucratic process needs to play out, and the people get involved in the simplest of ways – by signing a petition at bisonbridge.org. The foundation hopes to collect 50,000 signatures to help move the plan forward.

Pregracke and his team envision a repurposed bridge with various potentials – a visitor’s center that could host events, plus trails, wildlife, a spectacular view of the river, and music. Pregracke said that momentum can be found in getting people onboard with the same vision. Of course, there’s the possibility of the plan falling through if the Iowa Department of Transportation decides to build a new bridge on the same site. But if the agency chooses another bridge site, the idea can grow - it’s all part of the necessary process. And say the power of the peoples’ voices works and the project is given a green light – what could we expect? Pregracke and his team envision a repurposed bridge with various potentials – a visitor’s center that could host events, plus trails, wildlife, a spectacular view of the river, even hippies and music, Pregracke joked. With 130 acres of bridge and offramp space to work with, the bridge could loop the QC trails and provide a spectacular view of the river val-
ley, from a new point of view. “We’re not building a bridge, it’s already there,” Pregracke said, adding that the other option is to blow it up and spend millions in demolition costs. The concrete and steel bridge built in the 1960s is threatened by road salt and vibrations, he added, and not so much by the weight. “We got an idea and that’s how it starts. People will stop. The real deal is the Mississippi River. This is an opportunity to bring the community together for a big project,” said Pregracke of the I-80 crossroads of the Midwest. The proposed bison on the bridge has raised eyebrows, with Pregracke stating it would be a small herd of less than 10. Jason Baldes, Tribal Buffalo Program Manager for the National Wildlife Federation, is part of that team and would work to ensure that

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Virtual chat to take place with author John Sandford By ANNE FRAME
Odell Library Board of Trustee Odell Publ ic Lib rar y has teamed up with more than 70 libraries to offer a virtual program with John Sandford, the best-selling author of the “Books of Prey,” on Tuesday, April 13, at 7 p.m. For those who eagerly await each new book, this is an opportunity to sit down at home and listen to Sandford discuss his books and entice with his soon-to-be-released
their safety and well-being are priority. Bison once roamed the prairies of the Midwest, and this project would celebrate them as a symbol of the nation. The project proposal was revealed as plans are underway to replace the current bridge, though it’s in the early stages. There needs to be environmental impact, traffic, and structural integrity studies, plus all transportation planning meetings within the next five years. By presenting alternatives at this stage, Pregracke is hoping the people can influence the process. As for the question of cost, Pregracke was adamant it would be privately funded, even hinting that substantial donations are ready to go. Or they could also sell bricks, he said with a laugh. The National Park designation is a goal of the project, with a mention of the 62 acres of the St. Louis Arch National Park as an example of what can be done. But a focus on saving the bridge from doom is the first step of the process. The Bison Bridge Foundation has been launched for the purpose of repurposing the I-80 bridge, with plans to advocate for support at the local, state, and federal levels. They’ll be engaging with community leaders, local elected officials, business owners, and stakeholders all over the country, according to the website. The Bison Bridge is a concept like no other currently in the United States, and potential success relies on people getting excited, sharing the word, and signing the petition. “This is the only place in the world that we can make this happen,” Pregracke concluded. Visit Bison Bridge on social media to “join the herd” and envision the possibilities.

A thank you to the Odell Library staff
To the Editor: As an avid bibliophile, I want to say a big word of thanks to all the staff of Odell Public Library. In spite of all the confusion during this pandemic, they have been a great help to those of us who have been sequestered in our homes.
They have diligently kept us in reading material even when the wind chill has been almost unbearable. They are always cheerful on the phone and when they deliver books to our vehicles. Since we can’t say it in person: thank you! Yours in Christ, Jim Camp Morrison

YOUR HEALTH
What have we learned after one year of COVID-19? BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Most of us would view this past year as one big blur. Our perspective of everything has been, from time to how we approach our business. It is a humbling opportunity to remind us how we are all in this together. When one suffers, we all do. It is also an opportunity for us to blend our best science with our best faith to move forward for the next crisis that may occur. Indeed, just as this pandemic was predicted, so too will there be another one. We must keep in mind that our vigilance will wain the longer the interval, along with the number of times we sound an alarm but do not have a significant condition. That is human nature. Not everyone had the same outcome with this devastating disease. Not every geographical area had the same outcome. What were the common features of success and what were the common features of failure? The areas that took the condition seriously by social distancing and masking did far better than areas that did not. Several countries shamed the United States with these simple measures. Prop-
OBITUARIES DONALD H. WARD PROPHETSTOWN – Donald H. Ward, 94, of Prophetstown, died Friday, March 26, 2021, at Allure of Prophetstown, Prophetstown. There will be no funeral service or visitation. A graveside service was held March 30 at Riverside Cemetery in Prophetstown. The Bosma-Gibson Funeral Home of Prophetstown is in charge of the arrangements. A memorial has been established by the family. Don was born on May 31, 1926, in Morrison to Jay H. and Susie M. (Hart) Ward Sr. He was educated in the rural Whiteside County grade schools and was a graduate of Morrison High School in Morrison. Don married Irene E. Oetzel on April 16, 1950 in Prophetstown. She died on Aug. 9, 1999. Don grew up on the family farm in Morrison. He then farmed in the Prophetstown area his entire life. Don was a member of the Prophetstown United Methodist Church, the Whiteside County Farm Bureau and

Countries that had extensive quarantines were able to normalize much sooner. Victims of Covid were more likely to be poor, older, obese and have underlying health prob-

lems. Obesity was the biggest risk factor, yet did not get much play time. Race received much play time, but likely was accounted for by economic element and poorer underlying health conditions. The overwhelming majority of older people survived. In fact, the majority of any category survived. Children tended to have less severe consequences, though there were clear exceptions. As we speak, the bad statistics are on the decline. Many factors have been cited including herd immunity that appears more prevalent than previously thought. The vaccine has helped. Collectively the vaccines are 99.99% effective in preventing serious diseases just as smallpox and polio vaccines were. Extreme life threatening response to the vaccine was less than one per 200,000. While the threat of variants looms on the horizon, those variants seem reasonably well contained. The same social forces that tamed the original, the same science and faith can contain them as well. The same ignorance and fear can let them proliferate to the point of equal or worse destruction.
Gibson-Bode Funeral Home in Port Byron handled arrangements.
DORIS ‘JUDY’ BULL EAST MOLINE – Doris “Judy” Bull, 88, of Park Vista in East Moline, formerly of Port Byron, died Monday, March 22, 2021 at Clarissa C. Cook Hospice House, Bettendorf, Iowa. Services were Wednesday, March 24, at Gibson-Bode Funeral Home, Port Byron. Burial will in Oak Grove Cemetery at a later date. Judy was born Nov. 5, 1932 in Hiteman, Iowa, the daughter of James and Ruth (Morgan) Barker. She married Earl Bull on July 3, 1952 at the Port Byron Methodist Church. Judy worked with her husband at the Bull Chiropractic Clinic for many years until retirement. Judy and Earl enjoyed many things together, most especially attending political events, and also dancing. She loved being a mom and raising her family, spending time with her babies and Christmas time with everyone. Later in life Judy enjoyed playing cards and games with her friends at Park Vista.
Judy and Earl raised four children, David (Gretchen) Bull of Morrison, and their children, David (Kacy) Bull, and Meghan Volkert; Karen Sharp (deceased), and her children, Joshua and Daniel Cox; Lori (Thomas) Calvert of Cleveland, Tennessee, and their children, Justin (Brittany) Calvert, and Jesse (Autumn) Calvert; and Lisa (Greg) Jones of Port Byron, and their children, Amanda (Richie) Ford, Michael Neer, Erika (Chad) Ray, Alex Jones, and Nayte Jones. She is also survived by great-grandchildren, Reagan, Bracken, Stella, Grayson, Logan, Derek, Livia, Carter, Vincent, Victor, Brody, Remi, Callan, Cylah, Carsyn, Gavin, and Avery; and also her sister, Sara (Frank) Fenno of Colona. In addition to her parents, Judy was preceded in death by her husband; daughter, Karen; and a brother, Jim Barker Jr.

Whiteside County Drug Court approved for recertification By KEVIN JOHNSON
Director, Whiteside County Court Services “My life will be forever changed because of the drug court program.” Those were the recent words of Shandra, a 2018 graduate of the Whiteside County Drug Court program. Last month, the Whiteside County Drug Court was approved for recertification by the Illinois Supreme Court. There are more than 100 problem-solving courts in Illinois, with the vast majority being drug courts. Others are known as mental health, veterans, family and DUI courts. Although in existence less than seven years, the Whiteside County Drug Court became one of the first problem-solving courts to attain both certification and recertification. Certifications involve compliance with state problem-solving court guidelines, with periodic formal reviews overseen by the Administrative Office of Illinois Courts. The Whiteside County Drug Court exists in large part because of the foundation set by (now retired) Circuit Judge John Hauptman, the county’s first drug court judge (2014-2016), and Circuit Judge Trish “Joyce” Senneff, who as state’s attorney garnered support from local criminal justice personnel.
The program allowed me the time I needed to work on myself and helped me find the resources I needed to get on the right path. Don’t get me wrong. I struggled at points along the way, but the amount of support from the team and other participants helped me persevere through the tough times.” Shandra, 2018 graduate of the Whiteside County Drug Court program Upon Judge Hauptman’s retirement, Circuit Judge Stanley Steines became the drug court judge, assuring a smooth transition and ongoing stability. Drug court team members consist of the judge, two probation officers, treatment providers, the drug court coordinator and representatives from the state’s attorney’s, public defender and sheriff’s offices. The team represents an array of roles, expertise and opinions. Each week, they provide updates to Judge Steines before any court hearing. The goal is to provide a nonadversarial approach by collectively doing what is best for each participant. The drug court program is rigorous and lasts generally about 18 to 24 months. Participants must volunteer, but many are facing the alternative, harsh reality of a prison sentence. Each participant must undergo ex-
tensive assessment to ensure they are appropriate candidates. All of the participants have faced years, even decades, of daunting substance abuse addictions not easily overcome. After consulting with their attorneys, participants enter into an agreement to abide by the guidelines. During their time in the program, each will encounter incentives and sanctions that match the success and/or setbacks of their behavior. Initially, all participants are required to appear in court weekly, but as they progress in the program, court appearances are tapered until graduation. Most participants convey that the battle with addictions is a lifelong struggle and drug court is by no means a cure. Many start down the spiraling road of addictions by their mid-teens. Shandra was no exception. “I was in active addiction for so long
that my life was in a constant circle of negative actions and consequences.” Drug court can serve as a solid foundation for living a sober lifestyle and becoming a productive citizen. Healthy community activities are emphasized. Drug court officers will plan sober lifestyle events, such as picnics and holiday parties, where team members can interact informally with participants and their families. “The program allowed me the time I needed to work on myself and helped me find the resources I needed to get on the right path,” Shandra said. “Don’t get me wrong. I struggled at points along the way, but the amount of support from the team and other participants helped me persevere through the tough times.” Since 2014, 28 participants have completed the program successfully, including two military veterans. Many participants will maintain contact with the drug court officers, treatment providers and other team members for ongoing support long after their obligation to the court has ended. “Today, my life has never been this good,” Shandra said. “I have a job that I love. I’m involved in my community. I have a new relationship with my family. I am showing up in my life as the best version of myself.”

Volunteer organizations: Although I am looking forward to devoting my time to volunteer organizations in the future, I, instead, have devoted my time, energy and talents toward raising my children and promoting their interests, goals and aspirations at this time. What I hope to accomplish: I have lived in Hillsdale for 21 years and have been pleased and proud of what this small community has offered not only families within the village of Hillsdale, but for the surrounding communities as well.

I intend to be a voice of reason and conviction when considering information and proposals that may change current practices and processes within the community, and I encourage debate, ideas with data and rationale, and in being an integral part of a village that makes decisions which will result in being fiscally responsible and efficient, and will enhance the community, promoting respect, unity and a positive community climate.

ERIE HIGH SCHOOL
Senior Baylee Anderson signs to play with Kankakee Cavaliers BY BARB PROEGER EHS Media Specialist
In this school year of unique happenings, an Erie High School student added another unique experience. On March 19, Baylee Anderson signed to play volleyball for the Kankakee Community College Cavaliers. The college signing was unusual because it occurred before Anderson stepped on a court to play a competitive match as a senior. Anderson’s first match was March 20 at home in the Prophetstown gym. Kankakee volleyball coach Terry Allison was impressed with the game highlights and goals submitted by Anderson to invite her to Kankakee for an open gym practice in November. During this time, Allison observed Anderson’s skills and introduced her to potential team members. Anderson said many of the girls will be returning to the Region IV NJCAA school in the fall. She enjoyed the experience and hopes to play defensive specialist. Anderson has always wanted to play at the college level. With two older brothers, she learned how to play hard and take spills on the volleyball and basketball courts and jump back up to play some more. Anderson said she watched a lot of volleyball over the years and thought that digging the ball was impressive, but she also realized that she didn’t have the body type for that skill, so she started looking at other positions that she could play. Panthers coach Heather Bruns said Anderson is not afraid of falling on the
gym floor if that is what it takes to keep the ball in play. Bruns attributed Anderson’s skill level to a strong dedication, playing club ball, and learning to play new positions. As a junior, Anderson was a setter, but this year she moved to defensive specialist. The move seemed to work well in practices. She can read the ball well and get it to a teammate or get it over the net herself. Sauk Valley College also approached Anderson, but the college doesn’t offer a physical therapy assistant program, a vocation that Anderson wants to pursue. Bruns helped Anderson by suggesting colleges and helping edit game films into a video of her highlights. In the end, it was Anderson herself who did the work for Kankakee’s consideration. After the November visit, she felt the Cavaliers were her future team. Being in Region IV, Anderson will play against Sauk Valley, so family and friends hopefully can travel to Dixon to see her play. Anderson said she’s excited for her final high school season to finally start. For Bruns, Anderson is her third player to sign to play at the college level. The others were Jenna Saad and Jasmine Nickerson. Attending the signing were Anderson’s mother, Cherie Newton, father, Brad Anderson, stepmother, Sara Anderson, brothers Trey and Brady Anderson, and Panthers teammates. Kankakee coach Allison was to be at the signing, but he alerted Anderson that he was ill and would not be able to attend.
