Albany’s Jay Wolf masters the art of photography BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

An Albany photographer was in the right place at the right time recently as hundreds of sandhill cranes gathered in the backwaters of the Mississippi River just north of Fulton. Jay Wolf is a professional photographer with a knack for stunning wildlife photography – from coyotes, otters, turtles, mink, deer, owls, waterfowl and more, his patience pays off as he quietly waits, with camera in hand, for nature’s subjects to appear. Wolf was on the hunt for the massive flock of sandhill cranes that have recently been spotted at the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, the Thomson Causeway Recreation Area, and on private property just north of Clinton. He hit the jackpot when hundreds of the birds swelled to life in the morning, with their distinctive and “very loud” calls filling the air. Besides the photos, he was able to film the encounter and looks forward to sharing that footage, especially with children. “The sights and sounds will be with me forever,” Wolf said of the cranes, which can reach heights of five feet and weigh up to 11 pounds. He estimated between 200 to 300 of the omnivorous birds have been hanging around the Clinton and Fulton area during their winter migration, which he’s seen one other time in his years of wildlife photography. The last time the birds were spotted in the area, they were accompanied by whooping cranes, he said. One of the photos he took at that time allowed researchers to gather data on a crane with a leg band. He hasn’t spotted a whooping crane this season, though he’ll be going back for more filming this week. Wolf’s photo portfolio and messages of

He’s been working with local media personality Gary Metivier on wildlife filming for an upcoming project, and he has occasional photography shows, where he presents a slideshow and tells the stories behind his photographs. He also sells signed prints of his favorite creature encounters. Though wildlife photography is his passion, Wolf also photographs community events, families and travel destinations, with a soft spot for the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. His dream photo session is to find a wolverine in the wild. Follow him on social media for updates on upcoming projects, and to see what he captures in the wild next.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The benefits of making New Year’s resolutions The end of December is a busy time of year. Families are shopping for gifts for loved ones and friends, holiday celebrations are in full swing and thoughts begin to turn to the new year ahead. At the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, it is customary to sip a glass of champagne and toast to the new year. Many people use the dawn of a new year as a time to create a list of resolutions that reflect positive changes they hope to make in the year ahead. Between 40% and 45% of American adults make resolutions each year, according to the health and wellness group Proactive Mindfulness. According to John C. Norcross, Marci S.

Mrykalo and Matthew D. Blagys, coauthors of the study “Auld Lang Syne: Success predictors, change processes, and self-reported outcomes of New Year’s resolvers and nonresolvers,” within six months of starting a resolution 46% of people are still maintaining their resolutions. Resolutions may seem silly to some, but there are several positive reasons to make them. · Resolutions provide practice setting goals. Goal-setting is an important component of life. Goals are key because they provide general direction in life. A goal is a map that can give you an idea of where you are heading and what path you need to take to get there, according to the

self-improvement guide Success Consciousness. Resolutions can be fun, low-pressure goals. Think of them as dress rehearsals for bigger life changes. · Resolutions offer time for reflection. Too often people are rushing through daily life without stopping or slowing down to truly assess the impact of their actions. Resolutions help you reflect on the past, present and future, figuring out what has been working and what may need to be changed to provide a boost, according to the wellness resource Alternative Daily. · Resolutions can serve as a catalyst for positive change. When something isn’t working with your routine, per-

sonal health or relationships, resolutions can serve as the catalyst that ultimately rights the ship. · Resolutions can promote self-esteem and empowerment. Making resolutions and keeping them can provide a sense of accomplishment that comes with goal-setting and following through. Resolving to lose five pounds and then seeing the proof on a scale can be a powerful motivator that compels you to make other self-improvements. Accomplishing small goals also can boost self-esteem. Resolutions are often made at the dawn of a new year. These efforts can provide the motivation and direction people need to make positive changes in their lives.

ALBANY VILLAGE BOARD

Albany sees progress in IS THIS HOME IN YOUR FUTURE? various departments BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Albany’s new village administration continues to go through a transition, with a resignation, new employees and board appointments recognized at the board meeting on Monday, Dec. 6. The board welcomed new full-time Chief of Police Richard “Rick” Cass to lead the force that needs rebuilding after resignations in June 2021. “We appreciate you stepping forw a r d . Y o u c o m e h i g h l y r e c o mmended,” Mayor Phil Lemke told Cass. The village recently hired two part-time officers and is looking to hire one more to have a full-time police department back. Lemke detailed a few of the challenges in the department, with body cameras not working and the computers wiped clean after the departure of previous staff. The board approved spending up to $700 to change nine locks in the village office and police department. The board approved the appointment of Dave Frantz to Flood Plain Manager and Dan Bitler as Zoning Officer, both at a rate of $120 per quarter, effective January. Trustee Floyd Boston was appointed as ESDA liaison and will complete a 90-minute training course. The board regretfully accepted the letter of resignation for Janet Price as sexton after 30 years. It also remembered assistant treasurer and clerk Brenda Stuart, who passed away Nov. 16. The board also learned the Albany Fire Protection District will be purchasing another ambulance, giving it a primary rig and a backup. EMS coordinator and paramedic Brooke Posateri said the primary rig is staffed at all times by on-call members. She

added the department will be offering basic training classes in a few months. The board discussed what to do with more than $30,000 in LED ball diamond lights that were purchased last year but aren’t working due to missing parts. The lights were approved for purchase by the Albany Garden Plain Youth Association, but that board didn’t open the shipment right away due to COVID-19 concerns. Once it started to move forward with installation, it discovered the lights are missing key parts, which the company no longer makes. The board also discussed whether to raise cemetery lot rates, currently at $100 each, with the board learning that neighboring communities sell at $350 to $500 per lot. With only a few sold plots a year, trustees didn’t think it would help with the budget. Lemke also provided information on fixing up monuments at the cemetery, as many shifted over the years or were knocked over when trees fell during the 2020 derecho. The cost to level the base would be between $250 to $300 per monument, and contractors could do a few at a time. The Albany Lions Club have discussed helping with repairs, too. The board will continue discussions and come up with a plan for a vote at a future meeting. In other reports, the board learned that the backup generator at the new well building is hooked up and ready. The board passed a whistleblower ordinance protection policy required by law, with the officer in charge to be determined. The board approved authorized signers for bank accounts, and discussed purchasing a radar speed sign at a rate of $3,500 to help slow down traffic in problem areas. The village is still looking to hire a full-time billing clerk.

Earl Thomson has retired from the Fulton State Bank after nearly 44 years. He has seen many revolutionary changes to banking practices. It was March 1918 when he resigned from his position as assistant postmaster where he served from 1909 to 1918. In April 1918, he was named assistant cashier at FSB and in January 1945 he was appointed cashier. Effective Jan. 1, 1962, the First Trust & Savings Bank of Albany has announced that 4 percent interest will be paid on Time Savings Certificates of Deposit issued for 12 months. Three percent interest will be continued on savings accounts.

City Clerk LaVonne Huizenga tendered her resignation at a meeting of the city council. After a discussion, her resignation was rejected on a divided vote and it was agreed that she also will be appointed Waterworks Clerk and Collector.

The fire was reported at 9:43 a.m. and by 10:20 a.m. flames were shooting out of the second story and 10 minutes later the roof began caving in. Fire Chief Dale Sikkema said the fire was caused by an electrical problem. Tougher laws have taken effect in Illinois, governing the restraint of children in vehicles.

YOUR HEALTH

Definition and treatment for Tardive dyskinesia is discussed BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. Tardive dyskinesia is an abnormal movement disorder that may be a side effect of medicines that treat certain psychiatric conditions. The main class of medicine that causes this is antipsychotics including a newer version known as atypical antipsychotics. The newer agents tend to have less of this process than older agents. Agents in this class include Risperidone, Zyprexa, Haldol, Latuda, Seroquel,

and others. The dosage and duration plays an impact as does genetics. Short-term use, less than tree months, is not typically a problem. Movements are often jerky and uncontrolled and may involve different parts of the body. Face and tongue muscles may lead to inappropriate blinking, smacking or puckering the lips, sticking out the tongue, and frowning or grunting. Other movements include flapping the arms, tapping the feet, swaying side to side, and thrusting the

pelvis. Older adults, alcohol, and African-American status have increased risk factors. A scale, known as abnormal involuntary movement scale (AIMS), may be used by professionals to test periodically. These abnormal movements may be found in other conditions such as Huntington’s, Parkinsons’s and Tourette’s. Other classes of medicines used to treat nausea, such as Reglan, may produce these symptoms as well. The usual steps of treatment are,

first, to either reduce the dosage or replace it with something that causes less of those side effects. Realistically, that is not always an easy thing to do or may cause other problems. Accordingly, there are medicines that have been developed to help treat this including Austedo and Ingrezza, which are typically expensive. There is often assistance or reasonable coverage. Of course, they have their own side effects that must be monitored as well.

COVID-19

IDPH adopts CDC isolation protocols, adds digital vaccine verification option S P R I N G F I E L D – T he I l l i n oi s Department of Public Health said in a news release it was adopting federal recommendations for shorter isolation and quarantine periods for COVID-19 close contacts. The IDPH also provided updates on its Vax Verify immunization portal and its efforts to centralize contract tracing.

Isolation

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that people who test positive but do not have symptoms can reduce the isolation period

to five days if they continue to wear a mask an additional five more days. The previous isolation periods were double that. The CDC also reduced quarantine for five days for close contacts that show no symptoms and don masks the following five days. The IDPH adopted these stances as well as the ones that recommend mask-wearing for 10 days after exposure in a close contact case for vaccinated people who haven’t yet received a booster or don’t yet qualify for one.

Vax Verify

The state said the SMART Health

Card Verifier App, available on Apple AppStore and Google Play store, can now be used as an easy way for cellphone users to share their vaccination status. Users can download a QR code, which can be used to confirm an individual’s vaccination status at businesses, events and other locations. The proof of vaccination can be found through the Vax Verify portal (dphportal.illinois.gov) for state residents ages 18 and older. Individuals can see their own vaccination record in the Illinois Comprehensive Automated Immunization Registry

Exchange, also known as I-CARE.

Contract tracing

The IDPH has started notifying persons who test positive in close contact cases via text – provided the data entry corresponds to a cellphone number provided by the individual. IDPH Director Dr. Ngotiz Ezike said the centralized notification system is designed to reduce the burden on local health departments across the state. Because of concerns over scams, the text messages will be issued only for newly identified cases, the IDPH said.

Donations sought to help meet emergency prescription needs MercyOne Clinton Foundation is sponsoring the Med Tree campaign through Jan. 31. The campaign raises funds for the Emergency Prescription Fund, which assists people in the community with emergency medication needs. The fund is administered by the Information, Referral and Assistance Services agency in Clinton. “Many people continue to have to choose between buying food, paying rent or paying for needed medications,” said Julie Dunn, executive director of the MercyOne Clinton Foundation. “The Med Tree campaign helps Information, Referral and Assistance Services to meet the needs in our community.” “The Med Tree campaign helps us

to provide the financial assistance to those who are struggling to pay for a needed prescription, a vital necessity to keeping well,” said Regan Michaelsen, director of Information, Referral and Assistance Services. “We are grateful for every contribution that is received.” Michaelsen said the Med Tree campaign raised $4,100 last year to help nearly 300 individuals for needed medications, but needs in the community were estimated to be more than $6,000. To donate, checks should be designated to Med Tree and mailed to MercyOne Clinton Foundation, 1410 N. Fourth St., Clinton, IA 52732, or dropped off at the MercyOne Clinton Medical Center switchboard.
