By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The “Greatest Generation” is ascribed to Americans who grew up during the Great Depression and who fought in or supported the United States during World War II, whether overseas or at home. Every American had to step up to meet the challenges of the times and help with military and civilian needs as the war raged on from 1939-1945. One of those Americans of the Greatest Generation is Mary Voss, formerly of Morrison, Albany and Fulton, who now resides at Bickford of Clinton, an assisted care facility. Born in 1927, she celebrated her 95th birthday on Jan. 25. On Friday, April 1, she was joined by her sons Tom and Bob VanZuiden, a few Bickford nurses, and friend Don Hall, who was behind an effort to recognize her for service as a nursing cadet in the 1940s. The United States Cadet Nurse Corps (CNC) was authorized by the U.S. Congress on June 15, 1943, and signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on July 1. The primary purpose of the law was to help alleviate the nursing shortage that existed during World War II, caused by hospital doctors and nurses going overseas to help or women staying home with children while their husbands were away fighting. The CNC, administered by the Public Health Administration, ran from July 1, 1943, to Dec. 31, 1948. During that time, more than 120,000 women joined and went through the rigorous training process. They were then assigned to a civilian or military hospital or other public health agency for six months. Mary first heard of the CNC while reading newspapers in high school and seeing advertisements to join. With the promise of a free education, she signed up after graduating in 1945 since she already had experience as a nurse’s aide at Morrison’s then 15-bed hospital. “It didn’t cost anything, but you paid the price,” she said of the CNC experience. But the circumstances called, and Mary answered during the country’s time of need. After being accepted into the CNC, Mary went to West Suburban Hospital in Oak Park for three years of training, followed by six months of psychiatric training in Springfield, all “under the hand of the government,” she said. She recalled the experience as a time of constant training, school, studying,

Don Hall, friend and former neighbor of Mary Voss, reads the certificate sent to her by Rep. Tony McCombie and the Illinois General Assembly. and sleeping. “It was hard work and there was no such thing as days off,” she said, noting that the war was over when she started her last class. After training, she and two other cadets, out of a class of 90, were selected to go to Fort Defiance, Arizona, for their six months of active service on an Indian reservation. The nurses spent their days assisting on the reservation, where the residents didn’t speak English, and visiting trading posts and hiking the Arizona mountains on their days off. After finishing their service, Mary and her friends went adventuring on the West Coast, visiting the Catalina Islands, Alcatraz, and other tourist destinations. She still has her suitcase covered with her travel destination stickers. The nurses eventually took the “troop train” back to Chicago, with Mary then heading home to Morrison where they had a job waiting for her. While at the Morrison Hospital, she was charge nurse and assisted with surgeries, delivering babies and even making house calls with the doctors. “They were desperate for help,” she

said of that time. Mary soon married Maynard VanZuiden, the second of 12 kids, and they moved to a farm in rural Albany. They welcomed sons Bob and Tom, with Mary telling tales of milking the cows with a toddler and infant in tow. But Maynard, the “love of her life,” passed away from polio on Aug. 21, 1954, leaving her with two young boys and a farm to maintain. The family moved back to Fulton, and she later married Joe Voss. She also returned to nursing, working as an RN at the former Jane Lamb and now Mercy Hospital in Clinton, as well as a private duty nurse, a school nurse and eventually the Director of Nursing at Harbor Crest Home in Fulton. She also joined the first EMT department in Fulton, even answering the first 911 call placed in Whiteside County. She spent 15 years with Fulton Ambulance and won the first state EMT award, which is on display in her room. Mary had a long and respected nursing career, finally retiring from the profession in 1994. The Bickford

nurses joked that if they could clone her for nursing help, they would. Mary smiled when noting that the advent of computers in the medical industry is what really inspired her to leave when she did. She preferred her paper and pen methods. Mary said that walking across the stage at West Oak to “get pinned” in 1948 was a proud milestone in her chosen profession. She still has her first all-white nurse uniform and cap from her job at Mercy Hospital, emblazoned with the hospital insignia. She was supposed to get a uniform after graduating as a nurse from West Suburban, but by that time the “government was running of out everything” so that uniform never materialized. Mary credited her grandson Dennis VanZuiden for bringing a renewed interest in her CNC days. He brought her two books, “Your Country Needs You: Cadet Nurses of World War II,” by Thelma Robinson and “The United States Cadet Nurse Corps [1943-1948] and other Federal nurse training programs” by the United States Public Health Service. After reading the books, she shared her nursing experiences with her neighbors, who were behind the effort to recognize her all these years later. Don and Lilly Hall moved to Grandview Condos in Fulton in 2017, where Mary was their neighbor for a couple of years. Lilly worked as an X-ray tech at Mercy Hospital and knew Mary from the ambulance admissions. The couple would bring Mary her mail and help with tasks, and she eventually told them of her nurse cadet history. Don said he hadn’t heard of the program but once he learned more, he wanted to recognize Mary, so he contacted Representative Tony McCombie, IL-71. In recognition of her efforts, Mary was presented with a certificate on Friday honoring her service as a nursing cadet, sent by Rep. McCombie and signed by Speaker of the House Emanuel “Chris” Welch and Clerk of the House, John Hollman. The commemoration thanks Mary for her “service at that time of need.” Mary said her certificate will be added to her nursing collection display. “She’s an amazing lady with a story that only she could tell. It was a lot of sacrifice on their generations’ part,” Don said of his mission to see her efforts recognized. “She helped the country during a critical time and gave her service to the Unites States as a nurse.”

Coroner: Autopsy results for 3-year-old girl ‘inconclusive’ By KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@shawmedia.com

NELSON – Results of an autopsy conducted March 29 on the 3-year-old Nelson girl who died March 26 are inconclusive, pending the results of more lab and toxicology tests, Whiteside County Coroner Joe McDonald said March 30. As is usual, those results could take several weeks, he said. Tamsin Miracle Sauer’s death is under investigation by the Lee County Sheriff’s Department and the Department of Children and Family Services. No one is charged in her death.

The Lee County State’s Attorney and the State Police are assisting in the investigation, Lee County Sheriff John Simonton said March 28. He declined to release any further information. Emergency responders received a 911 call from a home in the 100 block of East Bassett Street about 1:30 a.m. March 26, McDonald said. The girl, who was unresponsive, was taken to CGH Medical Center in Sterling, where she was pronounced dead about an hour later. Tamsin lived with her parents, Frank and Dana Sauer, five sisters and two half-sisters in Nelson, a village of about 170 in western Lee

County. Frank Sauer also goes by the first name “Joe,” according to public records. The five Sauer children now are in DCFS custody, while the half-sisters, who were Dana’s girls, and another half-sister, who is Frank’s daughter and who stayed at the home sometimes, are with their father and mother, DCFS spokesman Bill McCaffrey and the two girls’ father said. DCFS had prior interactions with the family, McCaffrey said. He declined to provide more information until the investigation progresses. McDonald Funeral Home in Rock Falls is handling Tamsin’s arrangements.

Tiny Art Show moves to The Loft on Main By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

After a month in the spotlight at Odell Public Library, Morrison’s first-ever Tiny Art Show is now on display at The Loft on Main, 112 E. Main St. The show features more than 365 miniature masterpieces created by artists of all ages from the Morrison area and beyond. Volunteers at the Loft were busy setting up the displays last week for the show’s gallery debut. From the front window area to the walls and throughout the gallery, the tiny canvasses brimming with color and creativity add to the gallery’s charm while highlighting local artistic expression. The canvasses will be on display until April 30. Katie Rider, youth services coordinator at Odell, said art show participants each received a free tiny art kit containing a 4”x4” canvas, paints and brush with instructions to create anything they could imagine. “The diverse creations serve as a reminder that art really is for everyone,” she said. The unique program was made possible by the Odell Public Library staff and volunteers, along with generous support from the Loft and Thrivent Financial. The Loft is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Besides the tiny art, the gallery features original art from local and regional artists.

GLIMPSES OF THE PAST - FULTON

60 Years

April 4, 1962

Borgman’s Men’s Shop, 1116 Fourth St., was having a going out of business sale with drastically reduced prices. Sport shirts were as low as 99 cents, dress slacks were $5.95 and topcoats were $27.50. Construction work on the $15,000 theater building for the new Timber Lake Playhouse south of Mt. Carroll is at a standstill because of uncooperative weather conditions.

The Fulton City Council voted to ask the Chamber of Commerce to recommend a set of parking regulations that might be incorporated in a new ordinance. Terri McKenzie, a seventh grader from Fulton Junior High, was the firstplace winner in the American Lung Association of Illinois’ No Smoking poster contest.

Richard Bland and Paula Althaus, city mail carriers, showed off the new service trucks that recently had been added to the Fulton Post Office. For several years, local postal carriers used leased Ford Escorts for their

deliveries. The new vehicles are owned by the U.S. Postal Service. Five girls will vie for the title of Dutch Days Queen. They are Tara Damhoff, Melissa Feldt, Laura Holesinger, Beth Huisingh and Angie Hurlbut.

April 3, 2002

City officials have made the decision that Drives Park will be the official name of the sports complex, a 14.6-acre site located on the south end of Fulton. The acreage was a donation by Drives Inc. to the city about a year and a half ago and lies between the factory and Illinois 84. The park will feature lighted baseball and softball diamonds, a fullsize soccer field, a concession stand with restrooms and more than 100 offstreet parking spaces. Seventeen people from Hindeloopen, Friesland, the Netherlands, will perform during the Dutch Days festival. They belong to the Aald Hielpen folk dancing group, which is one of the oldest, costume wearing choral and dance groups in the Netherlands. They will be in Fulton for about one week staying in private homes and they are eager to

experience the culture of the Midwest.

The Fulton Historical Society is the recipient of a D.S. Flikkema Grant that will be used to put the remainder of its archived Fulton Journal newspapers onto microfilm. The historical society has been able to microfilm Fulton Journal volumes from 1854 to 1964. This grant will enable all volumes to the present to be microfilmed. F.A.C.E. board member Jeanine Tufty presented a check to Fulton Historical Society members William Blecha, Dotty Leininger, Harvey Geerts (chief researcher), Jon Lockhart and Millie Heun. The city of Fulton received a certificate that officially adds many of the properties on Fourth Street between 10th and 12th Avenues to the National Register of Historic Places. Randy Balk, Fulton city administrator, and Heather Bennett, tourism director, received the certificate designating the Fulton Commercial Historic District as listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. This designation is one more way in which Fulton will be known as a destination site for tourism.

New pain medicine guidelines from CDC are discussed BY STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D. In order to restrict multiple problems from narcotic pain medicines, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued new guidelines. These guidelines apply to patients who are not in active cancer treatment, palliative care or end of life care. Guidelines have emerged because of not just abuse, but also a growing number of deaths and other problems attributed to the medicines. This profound class of pain medicine has not shown the relief that many desire for pain. In making the guidelines, experts distinguished between chronic pain and acute pain. Acute pain follows an event that leads to tissue injury. Acute pain usually is resolved within four to six weeks. They then go into the category of sub-acute pain until about three months, at which time the pain is classified as chronic. In the past decade, the death rates for heart disease and cancer have dropped, but the death rate associated with opioids has increased. In the past two years, nearly two million people have been

identified as dependent or abusers of opioids. Indications include unsuccessful efforts to control the use because of social problems and failure to fulfill major obligations at work, school and home. About 1 in 500 patients will die from an opioid-related overdose in an average of 2 1/2 years from the first prescription. Meanwhile 1 in 30 will die from a dosage greater than 200mg of the morphine equivalence. The challenge faced by the prescriber is they feel a duty to take the person’s pain description seriously. In addition, there is a wide range of pain and pain guidelines that make it challenging for prescriber’s. The CDC noted there are no longterm studies showing a clear benefit in outcomes related to pain, function or quality of life that last beyond a year. Most studies were confined to less than six weeks in duration. One recommendation is challenging what many physicians have believed. Many physicians believed long-acting medicines helped patients because of the steady state of pain control. It turns out there is not much evidence of this. It is recommended that those with

acute pain have short-acting agents, with the suggestion being only three to seven days. The CDC committee noted certain individuals were at highest risk for death because of having multiple prescriber’s order medicine. There’s also concern about the increased risk of death along with the treatment of the Benzodiazepam class including Xanax, Ativan, Clonazepam, Librium, Valium and others. An important message from the CDC’s guidelines was the concept of functional status. They cannot find evidence that most people functioned better in their day-to-day lives. Most people did not achieve their goal of satisfactory pain control. It’s important to have a discussion with your physician to determine what your goals are for pain control and medicine. There have been recommendations to initiate fewer narcotics for chronic pain individuals and use additional resources for pain control such as cognitive or behavior therapy. While there are books that may help, therapy is best governed by an experienced counselor, psychologist, etc., in

order to give additional pain coping techniques. Physical therapy, massage and chiropractic therapy are encouraged to minimize the use of opioids. Unfortunately, other classifications of pain medicines that are recommended and supported have their own problems. Anti-inflammatories such as the aspirin class – Motrin, Aleve, Celebrex and numerous others – may affect the stomach, kidney, liver, heart, etc. Even Tylenol has its own problems with the liver and other elements that has led to a reduction of dosing agents. Tramadol has its own classification and is not considered to have the same risk factors traditional opioids do, although it can have central nervous system side effects and occasional dependence on medicine. The traditional opioid or narcotic class includes Morphine and its derivatives Codeine, Hydrocodone, Vicodin, Norco, OxyCodone or Percocet, Methadone, Fentanyl, Dilaudid or Oxymorphone, Nucynta and several others. Your physician may recommend a tapering of 10% to 50% of your scheduled medicine per week. Many support use of a pain clinic to help in pain reduction.

Countryside Christian Church hosts weekly Kids Club Pastor Steve Allison of Countryside Christian Church joined the congregation two years ago during the beginning of the pandemic. The church had to close its doors for a time and learn new ways to reach its congregation. With the help of some computer savvy members, Allison started streaming his sermons online via Facebook. When Riverdale schools were closed because of the pandemic in 2020, Allison saw another opportunity and the Kids Club was started. Parents who were looking for an activity signed up online and about 25 to 30 students came to Kids Club from 3 to 5 p.m. every Wednesday for snack time, game time, friend time and a lesson or craft time. Kids Club is for children from kindergarten through fifth grade and there is no cost to attend. This year, Allison started an Impact club for middle school age children who outgrew Kids Club. Each month, Countryside tries to have a special event geared for children and parents. In March, it had a Beach Party and children learned how to sign a song using sign language. “We are so pleased that so many families have entrusted us with their kids for two hours on Wednesdays. It’s a lot of fun,” Allison said.
