With over 600 military veterans buried in the cemeteries of Fulton, it was a team effort to place American flags on the grave of each one on Friday, May 28. But dozens of volunteers made the mission light work, with Fulton’s American Legion Post 402 members joining forces with Kiwanis members to ensure the veterans are remembered for Memorial Day at their final resting places in Fulton. Other community volunteers also answered the call for helping hands, which was welcome on a windy, chilly, and wet day. With handfuls of American flags, provided by the Legion, the volunteers dispersed through the North, South, and Garden Plain cemeteries, looking for the Legion markers to place the flags in. From the Civil War to the modern battles, veterans of every war have been laid to rest in the cemeteries. Fulton Post 402 Commander Bill Blecha was appreciative of the community’s help, especially as Legion membership continues to go down as the older members pass away or stay homebound. He’s hoping the younger generation of veterans will see the value of the patriotic organization that focuses on service to veterans, service members, their families, and their communities. On Monday, May 31, they held their annual ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park on IL 84 to honor those who have served. They also read off the names of the community’s veterans who havepassed away the past year, marking each with a bell ring.

Fulton Council recognizes local volunteers BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Fulton City Council kicked off its monthly meeting on Monday, May 24 by recognizing the efforts of local volunteers, something Mayor Wendy Ottens wants to do every month. “It’s important to recognize the volunteers that make a difference in our community,” she said, before commending Judy Holesinger, Jill Nederhoff, and Vickie Allshouse for their “weeding, planting, pruning, watering, and maintaining the gardens in town.” Anyone wanting to nominate volunteers can contact the City Hall. Ottens next made the following committee appointments - Public Safety: Chair Paul Banker, Harley Hunt; Parks & Rec: Chair Sue VanKampen, Wendy Ottens; Marina: Chair Sue VanKampen (until 1st Ward Alderman appointed); Zoning: Dale Sikkema; Economic Development: Chair Barb Mask; and Finance: Chair Dan Nederhoff, Mike VanZuiden. The council will vote on additional

appointments at the next meeting and consider an Emergency Operations committee, since there is nothing in place to provide a coordinated effort, should the need arise. The council approved a minimal raise to water and sewer rates to align with cost of living and play catch-up. Fulton rates are lower than surrounding communities, and the council wants to keep them low. The new rates are $4.09 per 1,000 gallons, $6.12 for the next 5,000, and over 16,000 gallons is $7.21 per 1,000 gallons. The new rates go into effect immediately. They approved spending $896 to distribute a quarterly newsletter, starting in June. “We are working towards transparency, and it will keep everyone in touch with what we’re doing,” said Ottens. The newsletter will be mailed to 2,750 households. In an 8th St. project update, the council approved spending $323,000 from an account that needs to be used by end of fiscal year, plus $100,000 from the street improvement fund. The project will be

downsized, with no curb and gutter, but there will be a black top overlay and sidewalk work to alleviate the ongoing water issues. Bid letting will start in June. In other action, the Council: • Approved a new schedule of cannabis business fees. • Approved a TIF agreement with Corey Council and his business The Clinton Custom Sheds, to be reimbursed up to $35,000 over a series of years for his investments in the building site. • Amended an agreement with developer Dan Dolan to extend the closing date of the property he’s purchasing to Jan. 15, 2022 due to a backlog at the state level. •Approved recommendations by the FOP Labor Council to change the salaries of starting officers based on experience. •Learned that Fulton will be a beneficiary of the Impact pilot program in Whiteside County, which will award students who give 25 hours of community service up to three years of tuition costs at Sauk Valley Community College.

RECREATION

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

After much excitement and anticipation, Benson’s on Lake Carlton officially opened for business last week at Morrison-Rockwood State Park. It brings life back to the rustic building on the lakeshore that has been vacant since Rockwood Marina & Restaurant closed last year during the pandemic. Bud and Stephanie Benson, who also own and operate Benson’s on the Mississippi at 108 S. Main St. in Albany, reopened the popular State Park destination on Tuesday, May 25. Bud smokes all the meats, specializing in hickory-smoked meats, fish, BBQ, and other traditional Midwest and Southern-inspired dishes. The Lake Carlton menu includes beef barbacoa (a form of cooking meat that originated in the Arawak-speaking Caribbean with the Taíno people, from which the term “barbecue” derives” or pulled chicken tacos, loaded nachos, grilled brats, hot dogs, sausages, side salads, as well as a taco bar with various toppings, from fresh cilantro and onions to peppers and lime slices. Manager Laurie Hollister said the first week in business was great, with many campers and locals taking advantage of the nice weather to try their first meal on the screenedin deck. A craft soda machine and two more coolers are on order, with plans to offer a wider variety of food and drinks for campers, visitors, and locals, said Hollister. The building had some required upgrades to complete, which pushed back the opening date just a bit. But as the summer camping season officially kicks off, the shop is already stocked with hot food, ice cream, slushies, drinks, and other getaway essentials, from canned goods to lanterns to fishing gear to candy, plus bags of ice and firewood to make the camping experience complete. There’s also selection of bait for the lake’s many anglers. Octavio Flores and Eustacio Diaz of Sterling stopped into the shop to buy worms on Friday, May 28. “It’s our favorite fishing spot, unbelievably there’s a lot of good fish here,” said Flores, adding that they were hoping for bass, blue gill, or anything, really. “We came at a good time,” he said of the day’s catches on a gray and windy day. Lake Carlton, at 77 acres, is home to a bevy of wildlife and forested shores. In addition to the bait, meals, and porch seating with a lake view,

the business offers canoe, kayak, pedal boat, and motorboat rentals, either by the hour, four hours, or eight hours. A driver’s license or state ID is required for rentals. The building is owned by the state, so there is a lease and agreement on hours for the cabin-like space that hits the right spot for campers and diners. Hours are 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and closed on Mondays. Benson’s on Lake Carlton is located at 18750 Lake Road, Morrison. Call 815-772-9090, follow on social media, or visit bensonsonlakecarlton.com for more information.

Fourth of July fireworks ‘a go’ in Prophetstown The Prophetstown Fire Department and Men’s Club recently met and decided the annual fireworks display at Prophetstown High School would be held July 4 this year. After talking with Illinois Department of Natural Resources representatives, it was determined COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed enough to have a large outdoor gathering. Using the new guideline of 30 people

per 1,000 square feet, the park would be large enough to host a crowd of 8,000 to 10,000 people, which is more than adequate for the fireworks display. The fireworks committee asks that attendees respect social distancing in the park, especially between groups of people. The 3-on-3 basketball tournament normally sponsored on July 4 by prom parents will not take place this year.

The fire department will open its food stand in the park about 5 p.m. July 4. There will be no band, but there will be recorded music. Donations will be accepted at several points of entry to the park. The gold and silver sponsors program from past years will be continued. Donations of $100 qualify as a gold sponsor. A $50 donation is a silver sponsor. Special donations can be dropped off at

Hometown Hardware in Prophetstown. The Men’s Club will be transitioning its role in the annual fireworks display to the fire department, though its volunteers still will be active in the program. The committee hopes everyone enjoys the 60-plus year tradition of Prophetstown’s Fourth of July fireworks.

SVCC to begin pilot program for earned tuition Sauk Valley Community College is piloting its earned tuition program in two towns thanks to a Whiteside County donor. Soon-to-be high school freshmen in Fulton and Prophetstown will be the first to participate in the Sauk Impact Program, allowing high schoolers to earn three years of tuition and fees at the college by building up community volunteer hours. The pilot program will provide an opportunity for students to earn tuition ahead of the expected rollout of the program throughout the district in 2022, and it will help the college gauge success and improvements needed early on, said Lori Cortez, Sauk’s dean of institutional advancement. “It’s a good way to encourage engagement in community service and civic pride with these young people,” she said. “And they can start to give back to the community today.” Ther e’s about 120 stu d ents in classes in Fulton and Prophetstown, and Cortez said they expect about 60 to join the program, though they would be happy to welcome more. There will be quarterly surveys and focus groups with parents and students in the pilot program to iden-

The college is working on an app in which students will be able to track their service hours, and organizations throughout the region would be able to post volunteer opportunities.

“We want students to know the organizations in the community and the good work that these organizations do,” Cortez said. The donor wanted to invest in area students and make sure there wasn’t a

financial burden for those wanting to advance their education, she said. “The kids are going to give back to the community and be tied to the community through service,” she said. “They will be more involved and attached to the Sauk Valley.” The college is looking to raise $10 million for the program, which could launch as early as spring 2022. River Bend School District Superintendent Darryl Hogue has been involved in planning the Sauk Impact Program since 2018, and the college values his leadership with helping define requirements for the program, Cortez said. Students would need to meet five criteria to qualify. Criteria is registering for the program by Sept. 1 of their freshman year; graduate on time or early with their class; participate in 25 hours of community service a year totaling 100 hours; graduate from high school or an accredited home school program within the district; and apply for at least one other local/state/ national scholarship, as well as complete FAFSA. Those who meet the requirements and who enroll in a career or transfer program would be given up to three years of tuition and fees.

YOUR HEALTH

An explanation on why the sun is not the enemy BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. The sun has become like sodium – something the medical profession likes to pick on. Like sodium, the vilification is probably overdone. The profession has promoted a few facts into a theory that may be doing more harm than good. It is a fact that some skin cancers are increased with sun. However, these are not the deadly ones and are readily treatable. As much as the profession preaches, there is not great proof that there is a connection between the sun and deadly melanoma. Under the guise of promoting skin protection, well-intentioned people have lessened helpful exposure to the sun with all its many benefits. Fur-

thermore, they have in some instances increased their risk of cancer because their sunscreen has many toxic chemicals. The Food and Drug Administration ignored the problem for years before coming out and noting that PABA, aminobenzoic acid and trolamine salicylate have toxicities that linger on skin and blood for weeks after application. Because there is an obvious desire to avoid sunburn for the sake of pain, there may be a time and place for sunscreen. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide appear safe and effective in blocking harmful rays. Also, severe sunburns may increase the risk of skin cancer. Meanwhile, the excess fear of sun exposure has contributed to decreased physical activity and overall

health and well-being. Being outside and getting direct sunlight has many benefits. First and foremost, the absorption of vitamin D. This vitamin is actually a hormone that has one of the most important aspects of immune system function and protection. The best outcomes with COVID-19 are associated with the highest blood levels of vitamin D. It turns out heart disease may improve with sunlight exposure. A significant factor is the production of a protein in the skin known as PERIOD2 or PER2. It supports the blood vessels. The compound nitric oxide also is increased with sun exposure, and protects circulation by helping vessels to expand. This activation is best with morning sunlight taken in by the eyes.

Blood pressure may be improved with sunlight because it contributes to the production of nitric oxide. This compound also helps relax the smooth muscles that help relax blood vessels. It is an important antioxidant. The sun lessens cholesterol damage by lessening the charge on that molecular complex and therefore leading to less plaque buildup. Another important compound improved by sun exposure is melatonin. Besides the benefits for better sleep, melatonin may help reduce anxiety. Serotonin is another important mood chemical influenced by the sun. These measure help to explain some seasonal affective disorders and how they may be benefited by light exposure.

MCH teams up with surgical society to offer free education Morrison Community Hospital recently teamed up with the American Society of Podiatric Surgeons to offer registrants 16 free continuing education hours. The event, which attracted almost 600 attendees, was offered over a twoday period that was filled with topics

ranging from total ankle implants to advanced modalities in wound care. This was the ninth year of the event, which was completely virtual this year because of COVID-19 restrictions. The Morrison Community Hospital board and the board of the American Society of Podiatric Surgeons realized they still

could offer the event without face to face contact. Many participants expressed gratitude for providing free education. “We were so happy to provide such excellent education free to our attendees,” said Dr. David Yeager, a podiatric surgeon, chairperson of the event and

educational chair for ASPS. “The turnout was phenomenal, and the lectures were extremely well-received. I want to thank both boards for their leadership and insight in bringing both entities together for a common cause.” Next year’s conference will be April 1-2.
