DENROCK – No sign, no building … there’s nothing left that would give passersby on Moline Road any indication that they just breezed through a once bustling former railroad site between Erie and Lyndon. Denrock never was much more than a dot on a map, but for a while at least, it was a busy little dot, a rail crossing that attracted a post office, depot, businesses and plenty of train traffic. It was established 150 years ago, in 1871, but don’t expect any sesquicentennial celebration. That’s because today, Denrock is just a distant memory. Not even the X-shaped rail crossing that put it on the map remains; two legs were abandoned in the mid-1980s, and the “Denrock” sign was removed nearly a decade ago. Even though Denrock as it was is long forgotten, the location today is something train engineers can’t afford to forget. With two legs no longer used, the tracks take a sharp turn, forcing engineers to slow down to 20 to 25 mph to navigate the curve as the tracks cross Moline Road. The sound of wheels scraping the edges of the rails are often heard as the train makes it around the bend. Along with the Union Pacific at-grade crossings near Fulton, it can take longer than usual for a train to pass the crossing near the curve, much to drivers’ dismay. Denrock has a story, however, and there’s more to it than just a tricky turn. Before 1869, Denrock was just a parcel of grassland alongside a wagon route between Sterling and Moline. At Hamilton Corners, where state Route 78 goes north from Moline Road today, that route crossed an old coach route that ran from Morrison to Spring Hill starting in 1853; it crossed the Rock River in Portland, which is the area around Howard Road today. The Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis Railroad constructed a line between rural Sterling and Barstow in 1869 that ran parallel to the wagon route to Moline. Erie native James Pratt took advantage of the parallel routes and laid out a settlement, Pratt, that same year. The town has long since disappeared, from the landscape and from maps, but it once had a depot and post office, but Pratt’s prosperity didn’t last long once another railroad line was built a few miles east of it. Denrock’s X-crossing came in late 1871 when the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy extended a line northwest out of Prophetstown and across the Rock River toward Fenton. It acquired the Rockford, Rock Island and St. Louis Railroad a few short years later. Denrock straddles the border between Lyndon and Fenton townships. The ‘X’ point of the crossing sits just east of the border in Lyndon

The Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad was known for its shiny silver Zephyrs that streamed through the main lines, but only rarely through sub-lines such as Denrock. According to Chuck Zeiler, who took this photo on July 17, 1966, “The last steam-powered fantrip on the CB&Q was this train, unofficially, the Denrock Zephyr. It is seen here backing through the wye at Denrock as Extra 4960 West, and will soon become Extra 4960 East for the return trip to Chicago.” Township, but the current curve is entirely within Fenton Township. As a spot that saw more rail traffic than most places along the CB&Q’s minor lines, Denrock thrived with a depot, coal sheds and water tank. The post office that once had been in Pratt came to Denrock in 1890, and not too long after that, a hotel and restaurant combination opened up. The hospitality business began in 1893 by husband and wife John N. and Anna W. Hogeboom, who, Whiteside County historian W.W. Davis of Sterling wrote in 1908, made their lunchroom “unusually inviting by the kindly service of these excellent people. Home cooking, mince pies of her own baking, ever giant good and wholesome. A cozy sitting room in the rear for retirement and bedrooms for chance travelers above.” Local farmers would haul grain, produce or materials only a short distance before the goods would be carried off in all four directions from Denrock. Both lines split off at points in each direction, miles from Denrock, but cargo and passengers could reach cities including Galesburg, Savanna, Sterling-Rock Falls, Mendota, La Salle and Clinton, Iowa after passing at least one split intersection. Denrock’s demise was a slow one that began when the automobile began to replace the train as a preferred method of travel. When Illinois designated Moline Road as a state highway – then state Route 86 from Sterling to Muscatine, Iowa, via Moline and Rock Island – the road was paved and east-west traffic did more driving than riding the rail. Route 86 became Route 2 in 1936 and lost its state highway status in 1974. As automobiles became more affordable and more roads were paved, the numbers of railroad passengers declined, as did shipments when trucks began delivering more goods. One by one, the businesses closed, except the depot, which last served passengers in the mid-
1960s. The depot stood for a couple of more decades until it was razed, but that wasn’t the last blow for Denrock’s makeup. The railroad industry, which phased out passenger service to the government-controlled Amtrak by 1971, struggled to keep afloat against other means of transportation. The CB&Q, which featured shiny silver passenger “Zephyrs” – whose engines featured a distinctive bellshaped front – merged with a couple of other companies to form Burlington Northern in 1970. Soon Burlington Northern’s green-and-white engines zoomed through Denrock from four directions. After only 10 years in business, however, Burlington Northern was in such bad shape that it had to shut down a large number of its minor lines. The line east of Denrock ceased operations in 1984, and the line south of the crossing closed the following year. This turned Denrock from a crossing into a curve. Denrock’s ‘X’ spot was about 300 feet from Moline Road. Connection tracks were built on three of the four corners, the exception being one going north to east. The depot, which was the last building to stand near the crossing, was nestled between the Prophetstown-Fenton line and its connecting curve toward Erie. Most of Denrock’s buildings stood to the west of the Prophetstown-Fenton line and north of the Erie-Lyndon line. Francis Road, which now is a deadend road going southwest from Hamilton Corners, is a remnant of the Morrison-to-Spring Hill wagon trail. It crossed both CB&Q lines at grade; those crossings are now gone, but hints of their existence can still be found, if you know where to look: the road makes a minor dent where it crossed the line east of Denrock, and an old wood trestle continues to stand south of the other crossing. The abandoned trestle carried the tracks over a low area on the nearby farm where
The Denrock sign was removed a decade ago. water ran off, and it can clearly be seen in the months when the corn stalks aren’t as high. Francis Road today dead ends just south of that second crossing, but up until the 1950s, it continued to link up with Henry Road toward the Rock River, where it once crossed into Portland back when horses were the main form of transportation. Further evidence of the right of way on the abandoned legs not too far from Denrock still shows signs that tracks used to go by. The abutments of the bridge crossing the Rock River south of the junction still stand. The old Armstrong Agri Service buildings west of Lyndon sit at an angle parallel to Moline Road, that location being where the eastwest line crossed the road. “Phantom bridges” along the east-west line over various creeks still stand where the line runs parallel to Interstate 88 east of Lyndon. Burlington Northern eventually merged with the Santa Fe railway in 1993, and continues to maintain a small storage yard at the Denrock curve. And though the once bustling little spot on the map that fell victim to progress and change is long gone, it’s having the last laugh: delaying drivers who get caught waiting for the train to pass by, and who, as they count the cars and listen to the creeks and clanks, probably feel like time is standing still.

Several inches of snow and two weekends of high winds raised havoc with most rural roads. The worst drifting was in Garden Plain Township, where several days were required to open some roads to one-way traffic. At the school board meeting, members wrestled with the difficult task of making cuts in order to help alleviate the deficit the district is facing. Members spent a great deal of time discussing more budget reduction options. They voted not to reduce the principalship at Fulton Junior High and Albany schools. They also voted to eliminate the high school agricultural program. They voted to charge high school students a fee for participating in extracurricular activities.

J.T. Cullen Co. landed a big job, one that only eight to 10 other companies in the country would have a facility large enough to handle. The job will take up to nine months to complete and use 5 million pounds of steel. The plant will be building a Selective Catalytic Reduction System for American Electric Co., the largest coal-fired electrical supplier in the country. Cullen employees 90 people and has added 28 new employees. It is still looking to
add 15 to 20 more people to its workforce. Midwest Collision is now offering loaner cars and towing services to complement its auto body repair business.

YOUR HEALTH
Part 3: Alcoholism and codependency is examined BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, MD Part two of the series ended discussing how subtleties of alcoholism in the early phase can be deceptive to family members. Family members and others often function as co-dependents. Codependency is a complex process in which, in a sense, the alcoholic’s disease is shared with other people, particularly family members or close associates. Codependency is an adaptive behavior in which the co-dependents often respond in a nurturing fashion to the alcoholic, partly because they have become conditioned to do so. For many co-dependents, this becomes their primary goal, to keep the alcoholic whom they know well and love, functioning as well as possible. They protect and nurture to cover up and defend the alcoholic while ignoring their own needs. Because the alcoholic’s life begins to revolve more and more around the use of alcohol, the family member begins to revolve more and more around the behavior of the alcoholic. While co-dependents may suffer emotional and physical abuse, they rational-
ize the alcoholic would not knowingly hurt or abuse them and abuse must occur only because of the alcohol. Again, the situation arises because often the alcoholic is a good person and may be warm and caring in his better moments. The co-dependent often recognizes this goodness and seeks everything they can to promote and restore that goodness. There are often intense feelings of guilt when they do not. Those guilt feelings are a prominent feature of codependency because as the alcoholism progresses, so does the guilt involved. The guilt is reinforced by the alcoholic, who needs a source of blame to explain his or her performance. Family members often find themselves making excuses for the alcoholic’s performance at work and elsewhere. The alcoholic in stage 2 often experiences shame and remorse after a drinking episode because of their unpredictable and inappropriate behavior. Though the alcoholic literally cannot control his behavior, he will drink no matter how much his family loves him or what his background or religion is. Unless something is done to interrupt this process, the alcoholic will inevita-
bly proceed to stage 3. In stage 3, the critical point arises in which alcohol no longer works for the alcoholic. It does still, however, offer quick and miraculous relief from the constant agony, pain and suffering, as well as emotional turmoil, which comes invariably at this stage. The relief is short-lived, however. Thus, most of the time for the alcoholic is spent drinking; otherwise, excruciating agony is experienced. In this stage, the alcoholic’s tolerance to alcohol is progressively lessening because of the damage being done to organ systems, including the liver, central nervous system and others. Thus, the toxic effects of alcohol are beginning to catch up with the body’s organs. No body organ system is spared of the potentially devastating consequences of alcohol. Some of the more common are cirrhosis of the liver, ulcers, gastritis, cancer of the esophagus and lungs, pancreatitis, heart failure and malnutrition. Malnutrition may be a significant factor in irritability that accompanies this stage, as well as the decreased appetite, decreased mental alertness and easy fatigue. By this stage, the alcoholic is
committed to drinking in the morning and is ready to drink either alone or with anyone in any setting. They need no excuses – just alcohol. By this stage, paranoia has frequently set in and a strong suspicious nature, as well as a strong need to guard or protect their supply of alcohol. Death may follow from any of the above medical conditions, as well as numerous other factors such as auto accidents, suicide, overdose, etc. The alcoholic in this stage is no longer drinking to reach euphoria but is simply drinking to feel normal and stop pain. While this is the stage that most people think of when they think of an alcoholic – someone who is deathly ill, confused and living only for alcohol – the fact is the condition has begun years earlier. Psychological, physical and social problems seen in the stages are a consequence of alcohol’s conditioning on cells for years. While no one can deny the possibility of hope during this stage, the realities are it is quite difficult to help the alcoholic. The good news is that in earlier stages the alcoholic has a much better chance of being helped and treated for his or her condition.
Cases of COVID-19 in Illinois and Whiteside County are surging. In a seven-day period, Whiteside County has seen 996 new cases, a 213% increase, and a case rate of 1,805 per 100,000. This case rate is 36 times higher than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s case rate of 50 per 100,000 at which all individuals, vaccinated and unvaccinated, are recommended to wear a mask in indoor public locations. As cases rise, Illinois and the Region 1 Hospital systems are seeing an increase in hospitalizations. As of Jan. 7, Region 1 saw the highest seven-day rolling average of COVID-19 patients in hospitals since the start of the pandemic with 332 individuals hospitalized. Before this surge, the highest seven-day average in Region 1 was 299 on Nov. 15, 2020. At this time, Region 1 also is seeing the lowest number of overall ICU beds available, just 5% as of Jan. 9, since the start of the pandemic. While this decrease cannot entirely be attributed to COVID-19, limited ICU availability can make the region less resilient and mean increased transportation or wait times for individuals who are seriously
ill or injured. Slowing the spread of COVID-19 in the region needs a communitywide approach with everyone taking steps to protect themselves and those around you. Steps you should take to help protect yourself and others: • Get your COVID-19 vaccine and recommended booster when eligible. • Wear a well-fitted mask when around others. • Social distance at least 6 feet around individuals outside your household. • Get tested when you have symptoms (even mild ones) and limit contact with others until you know your results. • Stay home and seek appropriate medical care when you are sick. • Follow CDC and Illinois Department of Public Health guidance if you test positive or are exposed. If you have questions, contact the IDPH COVID-19 hotline at 1-800-8893931. Information also is available on the Illinois COVID-19 and CDC COVID-19 websites.

Erie’s Michael Miner advanced to sectionals at Viking Lanes in South Beloit. Sectionals are Saturday, Jan. 22. 1,134 to finish 14th overall and claim the fourth individual qualifying spot. He said it was his focus and improvement throughout the day that made the difference. “I just went out there, focused on hitting my marks. I definitely played better in the afternoon, just knowing the lanes better than the morning,” Miner said. “My main goal was to move on to sectionals, and I achieved that. Next week, though, I think I’m going to have to pick it up from my average by 20 pins or so. But I’ll keep working at it.”
Select students from Fulton and Morrison high schools were among 47 from across the state who received College and Career Pathways endorsements on their 2021 diplomas, the Illinois State Board of Education said. From Fulton were Brianna Anders, Kyle Collachia and Tiffany Smith in the discipline of human and public services, which includes education. From Morrison, Emily Henson was recognized in human and public
services. According to the ISBE, the endorsement works like declaring a major in college. It certifies to colleges, universities and future employees the student has specialized in a specific field. Participants had to create an individualized college or career plan, engaged in hands-on career exploration or workplace-based experiences such as internships, completed two years of coursework including six
hours of early college credit and met the standards for non-remedial college coursework. In 2015, the Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness Act created the endorsements. In addition to Fulton and Morrison, high schools in Downers Grove, Norridge and Vienna offer the program. “The students who have earned College and Career Pathway Endorsements have gone above and beyond the minimum high school graduation
requirements. Having this prestigious endorsement on their diploma shows the world that these students know what they want to do for a career and have the skills and knowledge to be successful in their chosen field,” State Superintendent of Education Dr. Carmen Ayala said in a news release. “I congratulate these students for their hard work and for planning for their futures and I appreciate their school districts for leading the way in offering this opportunity.”
