Record number of vehicles at Lyndon Car Show

By EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@shawmedia.com

LYNDON – Mother Nature met 137 vehicles in Richmond Park with a big old warm sunny smile Sunday.

Cars and trucks in a variety of makes, models and years cruised into the city park for the 33rd annual Lyndon Car Show.

“We broke our record today,” organizer Gerald Armstrong said. “Our record was 132 and today we had 137.”

Armstrong, who has organized the show for the past 20 years, said temperatures in the mid-70s and partly sunny skies helped make this year’s show a success.

“It was a perfect day for the show today,” Armstrong said. “We like using the park because it’s not so hot for the cars when they can park on the grass.”

Proceeds from the show go toward funding next year’s show, Armstrong said.

Vehicles ranged from one-cylinder wonders to full-blown muscle mammoths.

Vicky and Jim Cope brought their 1958 BMW Isetta 300 from Orion.

“We’ve had it 24, 25 years,” said Vicky, showing the multipage book that outlined the car’s complete restoration. “It has a one-cylinder engine, 13 horsepower and a top speed of 53 mph. It can get up to 65 miles per gallon.”

The teeny little blue gem was trailered to the Lyndon show, Vicky said.

“We would not want to be on the interstate with it,” she said.

John and Donna Morris of Lyndon didn’t have far to go to bring their 1954 Ford Skyliner to the show.

“We live over there,” Donna said, pointing across the street.

“About a block,” John said, laughing.

The couple traveled to Florida in a Skyliner for their honeymoon in 1956.

“That’s the kind of car we had when we

Motorcycles ride into town for 35th annual Blessing of the Bikes

By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com

FULTON – One by one, hundreds of motorcycles rolled into downtown Fulton on Sunday afternoon for the annual Blessing of the Bikes.

Joined by bicycles, golf carts and even a little red trike, riders lined two blocks of Fourth Street waiting their turn for a blessing from officiants Randy Hornung of Freeport and Marvin Starzak of Savanna, also known as Pops and Gator, respectively. Hornung and Starzak are with the Christian Motorcycle Association.

Just before the event’s 1 p.m. start time, Steven Goff and Bobby Lucy, both of Clinton, Iowa, were settled in waiting for the blessings to begin. It was Goff’s first time at the event.

“My dad, he’s part of a group. He comes all the time. That’s why I’m here,” Goff said.

Lucy has been attending for the past six years and said he returns every year for the “freedom of the bikes, the scenery and the vibes.”

Zander Halverson, 12, of Fulton, was waiting just down the street, eager to have his minibike blessed. Parked next to his dad’s motorcycle, this was his second year at the blessing. He was busy checking out other motorcycles in line to be blessed.

In its 35th year, Blessing of the Bikes got its start in 1989 in Fulton when the Rev. Arley T. Downie blessed motorcycles in the driveway of the home of his daughter, Jules Meiners. The event grew as more riders sought to have their motorcycles

blessed for a safe riding season.

Sponsored by ABATE (A Brotherhood Aimed Toward Education) of Iowa District 21, the event raises funds and canned items for the local food pantry.

Before the blessings began, Meiners listed the names of riders who had died in the past year, Brooke Byam sang the national anthem as a giant flag flew overhead and Bill Gillespie, assistant coordinator of ABATE,

urged riders to join that organization and listed some legislative issues under discussion.

“I wish every one of you a very, very safe riding season,” Meiners said.

Remains of soldier killed in Korean War return home

U.S. Army Cpl. Richard Seloover, declared missing in action 74 years ago, was accounted for Jan. 10, 2024

By PAYTON FELIX pfelix@shawmedia.com

ROCK FALLS – The remains of a Rock Falls man who was declared missing in action while fighting in the Korean War arrived May 30 at a Rock Falls funeral home and were buried with full military honors June 4.

U.S. Army Cpl. Richard Seloover, who was 17 at the time, went missing in action Sept. 6, 1950.

He was accounted for Jan. 10 after scientists at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency identified his remains.

Seloover was buried in Coloma Township Cemetery, 908 Avalon St., Rock Falls, according to a news release from Rolling Thunder Inc.

Members of the Region 1 Illinois Patriot Guard Riders, a driver from McDonald Funeral Home and Illinois state troopers retrieved Seloover’s remains about 12:30 p.m. May 30 from O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. After conducting a presentation of the flag and a line salute ceremony, the procession made its way to the McDonald Funeral Home in Rock Falls.

NORMA JEAN BOECK

Born: September 23, 1949 in Chicago, IL

Died: May 28, 2024 in Morrison, IL

Norma Jean Boeck, 74, of Morrison, IL passed away on May 28, 2024, at Homestead Care Facility with her family by her side after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease/Lewy Body Dementia.

Her funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at Emmanuel Church in Morrison, IL with Rev. Luke Schouten officiating. A visitation will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 PM on Monday, June 3, 2024, at Emmanuel Church. Cremation will take place following funeral service. The Morrison Chapel of the Bosma-Renkes Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. Interment will be at Grove Hill Cemetery in Morrison, IL.

Norma was born on September 23, 1949 to Render & Wilhelmina Aggen in Chicago, IL. After Norma graduated as Salutatorian from

U.S. Army Cpl. Richard Seloover’s remains are brought into McDonald Funeral Home in Rock Falls on May 30. He was buried with full military honors June 4.

Members of Rolling Thunder Inc., Illinois Chapter 2 and Region 2 Illinois Patriot Guard Riders joined the procession in DeKalb and continued along Interstate 88 before arriving in Rock Falls on U.S. Route 30, where the Rock Falls Police Department provided traffic control before following the escort.

The escort, led by an Illinois State Police squad car and members of the Region 1 Illinois Patriot Guard Riders, arrived at the funeral home about

4 p.m. as the national anthem played.

Members of Rolling Thunder Inc., Illinois Chapter 2 and Illinois Patriot Guard Riders stood in salute of the body as it was brought into the funeral home for family and patriot groups to pay their respects.

“It’s a great honor and a privilege. For 75 years, he lay unidentified and now we finally brought him home,” said David Gier, senior ride captain for the Region 1 Illinois Patriot Guard.

One family member who was in attendance was 5 years old when Seloover left to fight in the Korean War. That family member recalled Seloover’s mother saying her “greatest regret was signing that paperwork” for him to join the military as he was 17 at the time, Gier said.

Seloover was buried June 4 at Coloma Township Cemetery. The procession staged at the McDonald Funeral Home and the hearse was escorted to the cemetery. The Rock Falls Fire and Police departments and motorcycles from Rolling Thunder Inc., Patriot Guard Riders, American Legion Riders, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U.S. and Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association were involved in the escort.

Upon arriving at the cemetery, graveside services with full military honors were held.

A detail of uniformed active-duty military personnel conducted the playing of taps, a gun salute and the folding of an American flag, said Kora Magill, a funeral director at McDonald Funeral Home.

Bill Hermann, senior ride captain from the Region 2 Illinois Patriot Guard, presented graveside honors. Members of Rolling Thunder from Illinois Chapter 2 gave a speech and presented a flag.

An obituary for Seloover is posted on the McDonald Funeral Home website at mcdonaldfuneralhomes.com.

Dwight D Eisenhower High School in 1967, she went on to study math education at Central College in Pella, IA. While at Central College, city-girl Norma met farm-boy Dennis Boeck. They married in June of 1971 and went on to have three girls: Heather, Heidi, and Hilary.

Norma Jean worked for a number of years in local school districts around the area including Newman, Fulton, and Morrison. She also utilized her math skills as a bank teller before settling into many years of bookkeeping for the family car washes. Norma and Denny spent many years running family-owned Super Wash car washes and Norma could be found doing whatever needed to be done, but always doing the bookwork. Her bookkeeping “realm” in the basement of the Treva Drive house was legendary for her cassette collection, plentiful snacks complete with a child’s sippy cup to protect her keyboard, and a spot for Rusty, the beloved dog she thought she never wanted to own. ����

Norma’s first love was her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who she served faithfully in everything she did including active participation in child and youth discipleship in every church she attended throughout her adult

life.

Her love of God gave her an incredible capacity to love her family. She had no greater joy than family fellowship. She never wanted to miss a moment of board games and party games, jigsaw puzzles and word games, silly songs, Tom Swifties, and keep-it-up (not keep away). She loved a good sunbathing session and card game. In her prodigious memory lived song lyrics, scripture, stories, and rhymes, equations, theorems, functions, and proofs. The theft of that memory from dementia was a jarring grief to her family.

Above all, Norma loved to open the Bible with her children and grandchildren whether for family devotions at meals or helping a young child learn to experience the power and promise of God’s Word.

We want to bear witness to two things in remembering this life lived well. First of all, we cannot deny the cruelty of dementia that was both a vicious tormenter and a cruel thief. Yet we also must declare that dementia was no match for the grace and goodness of God. Norma lived and died, thrived and suffered with the knowledge and experience that her only comfort in life and in death, in sickness and in health, was that she belonged

body and soul to her Savior Jesus Christ. Her greatest hope would be for all to know that comfort and because of her life and witness many did.

She is survived by her husband of nearly 53 years, Denny; her daughters Heather (Jeff) McIlrath of Alexandria Bay, NY, Heidi (Lloyd) Wicker of Williamsburg, Virginia and Hilary (Jason) McDearmon of Morrison, Illinois; her ten grandchildren: Karissa (Ridge) Hagar, Ian (Delaney) McIlrath, Alethea McIlrath, Elijah McIlrath, Anika Wicker, Andrew Wicker, Kathryn Wicker, Isaiah McDearmon, Joshua McDearmon, and Eliana McDearmon; and great-grandson Rockwell Hagar.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Emmanuel Church Memorial Fund for the purpose of Youth Ministry and Christian Education. Norma’s heart was always for mission and ministry, especially when it came to the youth of her church and community. She would want local youth to have experiences with God through Sunday School, Midweek Ministries, and events/activities like Christian Concerts and Mission Trips.

The issue involves Acting Police Chief Richard Chapman and has resulted in the refusal of the city to pay an attorney’s bill of $465 submitted by Chapman. The bill was from attorneys Deckro and Holesinger for their service in the controversy after the mayor refused to reappoint Chapman and the

Causes and treatments of a bowel blockage are discussed

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.

Bowel blockage is a term that is used commonly in the lay field as well as the medical field with some overlapping meaning. When physicians use the term, bowel blockage, or more specifically, bowel obstruction, they are referring to a potentially more serious condition. Many people often refer to bowel blockage as constipation or a more dramatic form of their usual constipation. For our purposes here, we will be referring to bowel blockage as a more serious condition that may arise for a variety of reasons that include but are not limited to the constipation process.

Significant bowel blockages will present with a more prominent abdominal discomfort than one would typically attribute to issues such as

GERD, ulcers or constipation. As it advances, there is typically significant loss of appetite, increasing pain and nausea. It is common for vomiting to be present. Strangely, one does not have to be constipated but may even have diarrhea if a portion of the bowel is blocked but some matter leaks through, so to speak. This may be misleading to both patient and clinician.

The causes are various and not always known. Certainly, constipation may be a contributing factor, particularly in the elderly. Studies have shown it is rare in babies, even if they have not had a bowel movement in a week. If the infant continues to eat well and otherwise thrive, they rarely have bowel blockage.

Other causes may include infections such as diverticulitis of the bow-

els. Seldom do they include your average virus or bacteria or even food poisoning, though on occasion these may be causes. Your doctor may get a clue by obtaining basic laboratory work such as a CBC. Sometimes imaging studies such as X-rays or CAT scans will be employed. Like many things in medicine, history and a physical remain the most essential elements of the diagnosis.

The treatment for the condition depends on its severity. Some cases will resolve spontaneously without even having a formal diagnosis.

Early cases may avoid the hospital by keeping the gut at rest and emphasizing a liquid-only type of diet while making sure the bowels are working properly. More serious cases will go to the hospital for IV management of fluids, often keeping the gut at rest,

and pain management. Sometimes antibiotics are employed depending on what the cause is believed to be. A small percentage will need to go to surgery to relieve the blockage.

Occasionally, the blockage may be caused by adhesions – parts of the bowel are stuck together by a variety of measures. The bad news is not much can be done about adhesions. The good news is most adhesions do not require surgery. Sometimes conditions such as adhesions will contribute to on-and-off bowel blockage, making management difficult as well as uncomfortable.

Like any potentially significant condition, if your doctor elects – with your input – to try you as an outpatient, you need to report immediately any change or worsening of condition and plan a follow-up immediately.

Thank you to the remarkable ladies who hit it out of the park – Paula Rodriguez, Kris Muur, Phyllis Douglass, Linda Temple and Tammy Wilson. We are very happy to have your church join the sponsorship list. We are grateful to St. Mary’s for allowing the ARC to use its church hall to host blood drives.

Thanks goes to the certified ARC volunteers, Pat Pendgraft and Irma Russell, for helping to keep the drive running smoothly and to the dependable post escort volunteers, Vern Latwesen and Rick Barr. Also thanks to Luke Vander Bleek and another from the church for clearing out the hall the evening before and returning to put all back to its proper place.

Fifty-five people came through the doors the day of the drive to give of their time and blood products. Whole blood donors were Craig Brady, Marsha Geerts, Stephanie Vavra, Lorna Temple, Cathie Downs, Wayne Engels, Steve Geerts, Kevin Hook, Mary Latwesen, Julie Damhoff, Bryan Vogel, Randy Kuehl, Deb Adolph, Debbie Wilson, Ann Ganger, Renee Vanderlaan, Lisa Nice, Jackie Damhoff, Philip Olt IV, Joyce Hamstra, Penny Milnes, Cindy Hoogheem, Larry TIchler, Kaywyn Beswick, Amy Oudekerk, Connie Tegeler, Beth Wroble, Dick Wieneke, Carolyn Aiken, Dave Temple, Kari Forster, Robyn Stewart, Ken Stewart, Julie Brown, Jerrie Jackley, Dennis Zickert, Tim

West, Susan Gomez, Connie Swanson-Despain, Pam Shank, Luke Vander Bleek and six others who did not want their names published.

Seven double red cell/Power Red donors who gave two units of packed RBCs were Dave Boyles, Sally Knapp, Duane Imel, Kelly Smith, Jill Bramm, Dale Belt and one who did not want his name published. Three first-timers joined the ranks – Aubrey Bush, Jerrie Jackley and one person who did not want his name published.

Our goal for the drive was 60 good

milestones. Dave Boyles earned a two-gallon pin, Duane Imel attained an 11-gallon pin and Kaywyn Beswick earned a 14-gallon pin.

There were eight cancellations and five no shows, but six walk-ins balanced out the ones who did not make it to the drive. Several people voiced their disenchantment with the drive taking place two days too early for them to donate. This sometimes happens to regular donors who give blood at almost every drive. The 2023 blood drive was May 18 and in February we had a leap day, so this year’s blood drive landed on May 16, thus making it two days early for many potential donors. My apologies to you, but I make sure the rules are followed. Plus, three of the blood drives were moved to the second Thursday in the odd month instead of the usual third Thursday. That also messes with donors’ eligibility dates. The ARC rule is whole blood donations have to be at least every 56 days and double red cell donations are every 112 days. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

units, but we fell short, collecting 52 units. Our deferral rate was six donors, mostly due to not enough hemoglobin. But the criteria is the high side of normal range so that the donor does not leave anemic. If you have been deferred, consider taking an over-the-counter iron tablet daily for two to three days before donating or eat a steak dinner the evening before the drive.

About 60% of the donors used the Rapid Pass, which saves about 10 to 15 minutes.

Three donors reached gallon pin

The May drive marked my 15th year coordinating the Morrison American Red Cross community blood drives. I took over for a dear friend, Pat Wagenecht, and began in May 2009. I have truly enjoyed it and have met really great people.

The next Morrison Community Blood Drive will be from noon to 5:45 p.m. Thursday, July 18, at the United Methodist Church, 200 West Lincolnway. The UMC canteen is the sponsor for July.

The Ancestor Project

As one of the final projects of the year, seventh graders at Erie Middle School were challenged to pick an ancestor or someone else that they could research and learn more about in order to write a story telling about their life. Students conducted interviews with family members and some were able to gather additional resources and pictures to help tell their story. While there were many great stories written, not all will be published.

This project was a collaborative effort between students’ history classes with Mrs. Kruthoff and Mr. Armstrong, English class with Mrs. Wolf and their families. It was inspired by the original project that longtime English teacher Mrs. Wiersema made a tradition in her eighth grade class.

Students enjoyed getting to know more about their families and many were surprised to learn how interesting their families were. We hope you will enjoy their stories, too.

Edward Allen Clayton Jr.

By Ethan Meier

Do you know where Dixon is? It’s known as the birthplace of Ronald Reagan, a former U.S. president, but that is also where my hardworking maternal grandfather Edward Allen Clayton Jr. was born.

Edward Allen Clayton Jr. had an eventful life. In Edward’s childhood, he had a lot of siblings but not a lot of money. Edward had never had a stepmother or a stepfather. He ended up marrying in his early 20s to Shelly Shumski. My wonderful grandfather is still working but also is enjoying time with his family when he has time off from work. Edward Allen Clayton Jr. is an amazing grandpa.

Edward was born on Jan. 24, 1965, to a family with not a lot of money in Dixon, Illinois. My funny grandfather’s parents were Linda Clayton and Edward Clayton Sr. Edward had seven siblings with four of them being girls and three being boys. Their names were Kim, Al, Ken, Carlan, Chris, Michell and Susie. Edward loved to play baseball as a child, especially with his three brothers, Al, Ken and Chris. My athletic grandfather played basketball and football in high school. Basketball was one of his favorite sports besides baseball. Edward was not the youngest of his siblings. At age 23, Edward married Shelly Shumski in 1988. They moved to Fairmont, Minnesota, along with most of his family, including his sister Carla. That is also where his mother-in-law lived. That was his only marriage. My

hardworking grandfather had three children: Nick Clayton, Phillip Larson and Erica Meier. His son Nick lives across the street from Edward. Edward’s other son, Phillip Larson, used to live in South Dakota but now he lives in North Dakota. Edward’s daughter, Erica Meier, whose maiden name was Larson, lives in Erie.

Edward’s job is semitruck driver and he drives all over the country. My hardworking grandfather won the 1 million miles award at the truck driving business. This award is a very large achievement at his place of work. He did not drive out of the country for his job. He never served in the military. His hobbies are baseball, fishing and hunting. His favorite vacation was his vacation to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, as well as the Grand Canyon. Edward’s favorite foods are macaroni and cheese, pork steak, fried potatoes and green beans. While on the topic of his favorite foods, his favorite desserts are sugar cookies and pumpkin pie. I always have to fight for the last piece of pumpkin pie every Thanksgiving.

Edward also has six grandchildren: Lexi Larson, Ashlyn Larson, Zoey Larson, Madilyn Meier, Jackson Meier and Ethan Meier. There are four girls and two boys. Three of my maternal grandfather’s grandchildren live in North Dakota, while the other three grandchildren live in Erie.

After Edward Allen Clayton Jr. lived in Fairmont, Minnesota, he moved to Tampico with his wife and children. He has some lifelong friends and they are Rick Pickert and Bob Pickert. They are still friends to this day and live about an hour away from Tampico.

Unfortunately, his sister Michell Clayton died in 2016 from heart problems or, more specifically, she had a heart attack. Her death took place in Fairmont, Minnesota. This was a big struggle for him, but my courageous grandfather got through it.

He had a dog named Callie, but she passed away. However, they got a new dog a couple of years before she died, so they have always had a dog. His name is Ben, but his full name is Bentley or Benjamin. My maternal grandfather claims that he doesn’t have free time and he is always working. That proves he is hardworking and dedicated to his job as a truck driver.

Before I left my maternal grandfather’s house, he gave me some advice. He told me to stay away from drugs and that they are bad. My grandfather also told me that if he could go back, he would change the way he did his job so he wouldn’t have to work as long as he has been. I think this would be good

advice seeing what some parts of the world have been affected by them. Edward hasn’t retired yet. He still is working at his truck driving job. He’s living in Tampico with his wife Shelly and his dog Ben or Bentley.

In conclusion, Edward Allen Clayton Jr. is an amazing maternal grandfather because he was a good brother, he is funny and he hasn’t retired, which proves that he is a hard worker. My funny grandfather was born at the birthplace of Ronald Reagan, a former U.S. president, in Dixon. People always remember Dixon as the birthplace of Ronald Reagan, but I remember it as where my inspiring maternal grandfather was born.

Now that I have the knowledge of what he has done and what his life was like, I am now much closer to my maternal grandfather and I know him a lot better than I did before I did this ancestor research paper. This was an important paper for me and I hope you learned something about my maternal grandfather’s life. Edward Allen Clayton Jr. is a man who is hardworking, funny, inspiring and courageous.

David Rossi

By Lia Milem

My great-grandpa Dave actually came from Italy. His family migrated to America. He spent about four years in the military. He has a really big, amazing family. Finally, he created such a great legacy for his family to follow. David Rossi, my maternal greatgrandpa, is an amazing person because of his time spent in the military, his huge heart and silly faces and his great legacy he left behind on this earth.

David Rossi was born on July 4, 1938, in the Moline, Illinois, hospital. His parents were Pat Rossi, who lived in Italy as a kid, and his mom’s name was Ruth Humphrey. David grew up with his two siblings, Diane and Dick Rossi. When he was little, his uncle used to take him and his siblings to work on his farm, which was David’s favorite memory as a child. When he was in middle school, his family moved to Orion, where he went to middle school and completed one year of high school.

He was a very athletic child and loved to play football. One day he was playing football and was hit in the head hard and lost his memory of that whole day and he still couldn’t remember it, but my great-grandma does because she watched it happen. He moved to Ankeny, Iowa, which was small when he lived there, but is big now. He ended up going to five high

schools in four years because his dad worked for John Deere, so he moved around a lot. After high school, he didn’t go to college because he wanted to go into the military because of his passion for helping people. He left in 1956 to serve in the military. My grandpa is a veteran. He served as a medic for the U.S. Navy and then he got transferred to the U.S. Marines to be a medic in that branch.

After serving in the military for about four years, he went to work for Bawden Printing and also did handpainting jobs. On April 15, 1962, he married Donna J. Sonnenburg. He was about 24 when they got married, which means they have been married for 62 years, but Donna was not the only one he was engaged to. He was engaged to a woman before he met my grandma. After he married Donna, they had four children, two girls and two boys. Their names were Lori, Rocky, Mike and Tony. He was a huge family guy and loved to spend time with them.

He moved to Orion, where all the kids went to school. Even after marriage and having four kids, he still painted all the time, so when his great-grandkids were born, he wanted to make them something special. My grandpa made them chairs with handpainted drawings on them, specialized just for them. Also, my great-grandpa loved to go camping out in the woods with my great-grandma. My grandpa told me that the campgrounds they stayed at had to have a pond because my grandpa loved to fish. My greatgrandpa was always known for his happiness, but there was one thing in this world that he hated and that was yard work. My grandma said that he never helped with the yard work.

Once he moved all of his kids to Orion schools, he didn’t move again. He did move away from one of his closest friends and his name is Jim Sowers. My grandpa didn’t have very many friends because he liked to keep to himself, especially after his mom and dad died. Even though he moved away from his greatest friend, he was still happy. Sometimes it was really hard to be happy, though. His wife Donna had skin cancer, but she survived. Then his granddaughter Jessica got cancer as well, but he didn’t give up on his wife, so he didn’t give up on his granddaughter either. It was really hard for all of us, but he still made us laugh with his silly faces. After his granddaughter survived cancer, he found out what matters most to him and it was family. He wanted to spend the rest of his time on this earth with his family.

He went to as many of his great-grandkids sporting events as he could but because of his old age, he was always sick. My great-grandpa started to get very sick, so my greatgrandma took him to the hospital to have him checked out. They found out that he was very sick and didn’t have long to live. When he was in the hospital, I didn’t go to see my grandpa because my grandpa looked really bad in the hospital. My mom wanted to let me and my brothers keep a good memory of him, so she didn’t take us to see him. On Oct. 26, 2023, he died in the Moline hospital. He was 86 years old when he died. His contagious smile, silly faces and sense of humor will be remembered forever.

Plus, this assignment has gotten me closer than ever before to my grandpa. Also, I have learned a very important life lesson from this assignment that my great-grandpa has taught me. I learned that family matters and it’s the thing that I should value most in my life. No matter what happened in his life, he always kept family in his mind. I love this project and the idea of trying to get us students to learn more about our ancestors.

Dave was an amazing grandpa and father to his kids and grandkids. My grandpa created an amazing legacy for his family to follow. He always spent time with his family and friends and always came to his great-grandkids’ sporting events. He had an incredibly healthy marriage with his wife, Donna J. Sonnonburg.

production of ‘The Nerd’ runs through June 9

MOUNT CARROLL – Timber Lake Playhouse, the premier professional summer theater of northwest Illinois, announced “The Nerd” by Larry Shue is scheduled to run in the Summer Mainstage Season at TLP through June 9.

This extraordinarily inventive, sidesplitting comedy centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by a man he’s never met but who saved his life in Vietnam. The visitor, turning out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid “nerd,” outstays his welcome with a vengeance.

“The Nerd” is truly a great piece of entertaiment,” TLP Executive Director Dan Danielowski said. “We are excited to bring this show to our audiences in northwest Illinois.”

Set in Terre Haute, Indiana, in late 1979, “The Nerd” centers on a young architect who is visited by Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his 34th birthday party. However, Rick’s awkward manner and inappropriate behavior throw the occasion into shambles. And Rick stays on and on. His continued presence among Willum and his friends leads to one uproarious incident after another.

TLP’s production of “The Nerd” is directed by Jay Berkow, director of last season’s “The Lightning Thief.” The production features scenic design by TLP alumn Spencer Donovan, lighting design by Abi Farnsworth, costume design by Rachel McElwain, props design by Gabe Seplow and sound design by

Michael Donahue. Meg Rosenberg will assume the role of production stage manager.

In the title role of “The Nerd” is Cody Jolly. Jolly is a longtime member of the Timber Lake family, acting at the Playhouse for more than 10 years. Most recently, he was in last season’s comedy “The 39 Steps.”

Rounding out the cast is Luke Pengelly, Dana Kreitz, Austin Winter, Matthew Van Gessel and Brie

McClellan. Local actors Ryker Robinson and Noah Query will share the role of the young Thor Waldgrave.

Information and tickets for all Timber Lake events are available online at www.timberlakeplayhouse.org or by calling the box office at 815-244-2035. The box office is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and on performance dates through intermission.

Morrison science class gets lesson in gravity

By ANAKIN WESTON

Shaw Local News Network correspondent

MORRISON – Eighth grade students recently climbed to the top of their school building clutching paper parachutes and packed eggs. In the courtyard, students braced for impact, only if it was the splatter of eggshells that would be hitting the concrete.

Every year, Morrison Junior High students take part in an annual egg drop. Students get to practice their engineering skills by creating cradles meant to protect eggs from gravity’s forces. Their goal is to safely deliver an egg from the rooftop to the ground without a single crack.

The exercise goes back years for the school and is meant to be an experiment to teach students engineering skills as well as a practical demonstration of air resistance, gravity and the trials of the design process.

Students of Dennis Weston’s science class experimented with golf balls in order to design their devices. After testing in class, the students filed paperwork for their groups in order to determine who would be allowed on the rooftop to drop their cargo.

The drop devices were made with paper materials.

On the day of the experiment, there were no do-overs. Once your egg cracked, you were out.

Students look forward to the egg drop all year. Lower-level classrooms came out and watched.”

Dennis Weston, Morrison Junior High School science teacher

The experiment took place in two phases. The first drop occurred at a lower elevation rooftop on the school building. Weston and selected students dropped their parachutes down as a judge came out and evaluated the eggs. The eggs that escaped without damage awarded their group an A and the chance for extra credit. For the second phase, the students traveled to the front of the school, where the building stands the tallest. The eggs were dropped from the highest point, and if they survived, extra credit was awarded to the group.

“Students look forward to the egg drop all year,” Weston said. “Lower-level classrooms came out and watched.”

By the end of the day, eggs were shattered, extra credit was awarded and students were able to practice their knowledge in a demonstrable and fun way.

Morrison’s Brady Anderson receives honor

By JOSHUA WELGE jwelge@shawmedia.com

Name: Brady Anderson

School: Morrison, sophomore Sport: Track and field

Why he was selected: Anderson anchored Morrison’s state championships in the 4x100, 4x200 and 4x400 relays and took fifth in the Class 1A 100-meter dash at the IHSA state track and field meet. He is the Sauk Valley Newspapers Athlete of the Week in an online vote.

Here is his Q&A with Shaw Media Group Editor Joshua Welge. How do you put into words what you guys accomplished at state?

Anderson: It was a very big goal we set at the beginning of the year to win everything we competed in. To win all of our relays was a very big accomplishment.

How did your previous experience at state last year fuel and motivate you and your teammates?

Anderson: Last year we went into state seeded high in the 4x4 and did not even qualify for finals. This motivated

a lot of us to work harder and get faster for this year. It also motivated us to show up and to compete how we know we can compete.

Was there a race you were most proud, excited or surprised about?

Anderson: I am proud of all of our relays, however, I am very happy with the 4x4. We knew there was going to be a team who was going to really push us. However, we did not know who going into finals day. We had a big PR and ended the day off good.

How did you get into track and what do you like about it?

Anderson: I grew up watching my older brothers compete and always enjoyed going to watch them down at state in Charleston. I really enjoy bonding with all of my teammates and even the people that I compete against.

Do you play other sports?

Anderson: Yes, I play football and I also wrestle.

You have two years of high school left. What goals do you have going forward?

Anderson : One of my main goals is winning state in football. Another goal I have is to win the 100-meter dash down at state.

Spring Valley Reformed Church welcomes Anticipation Ministries

Spring Valley Reformed Church welcomes Anticipation Ministries to its outdoor stage at 6 p.m. Sunday, June 9, at 10960 Spring Valley Road, Fulton. Join us for an evening of praise and worship.

Anticipation Ministries is a Gospel group that has been traveling the Midwest for 11 years. The group first started out as a trio with Brian Himmel and his two son’s Brandon and Chris. Several years later, Chris married Erica Graham, who joined the group adding a new dynamic as a quartet. When Brian and Brandon

decided to come off the road, Erica and Chris decided to keep going with their son Graham. Together, the new Anticipation Ministries sings at about 100 concerts a year.

Anticipation Ministries is from Hannibal, Missouri, and travels many miles every year sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The ministry’s goal is leading as many lost souls to Christ as possible. If just one more soul is saved, it would be worth every mile. A freewill offering will be taken. In case of inclement weather, the concert will be moved indoors.

NOTIFICATION OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT'S FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, Rural Development has assessed the potential environmental effects of the proposed project and has determined that the proposal will not have a significant effect on the human environment and that an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared In order to avoid or minimize any adverse environmental impacts, Rural Development will require the applicant incorporate in the project's design certain mitigating measures outlined in the environmenta l assessment.

The U.S Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, is considering an application for financial assistance from Yager Road Whiteside Solar 1, LLC. The specific element of this proposed action is the construction of a new 3.1 Megawatt groundmounted solar-array. Speci fically, the proposed facility will employ solar array photovoltaic (PV) modules on a ground-mounted racking system. The facilities will be built on a 28.23-acre site, that is located at 5170 Yager Road, Prophetstown, IL. The facility will comply with all applicable laws, permits, mitigating measures outlined by the various agencies contacted or involved.

The other purpos e of this notice is to inform the public of the proposed construction will conve rt approximately 13.24 acres of farmland for the solar array of a 28.23 acre tract. This land i s considered Prime and important farmland and the proposal has been reviewed by the Natural Resource Conservation Service and IL Department of Agriculture. In review of the proposed project, alternative sites or a ctions that would avoid these impa cts and methods that could be used to minimize these impacts were investigate d and the proposed alternati ve appears to be the most feasible.

The proposed Project would not dispropor tionately affect minority or low-income populations.

Any person interested in commenting on the proposed action may do so by sending such comments within 14 days following the date of this publ ication to the following address. The proposed action is ava ilable for review at the following Rural Devel opment office; Champaign State Office, 2118 W Park Ct, Suite A, Champaign IL 62821.

In accordance with the National Environmenta l Policy Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations (40 CFR 1500-1508), and RD's Environmental Policies and Pr ocedures (7 CFR Part 1970), the Agency has determined that the envir onmental impacts of the proposed Project have been adequately addre ssed and that no signifi cant impacts to the quality of the human environment would result from construction and operation of the proposed Project Any final action by The Agency related to the proposed Project will be subject to, and contingent upon, compliance with all relevant federal and state environmental laws and regulations. Because the Agency's action will not result in signifi cant impacts to the quality of the human environment, the Agency will not prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for its potential federal action associated with the proposed Proj ect LOAN REVIEW AND RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW

This FONSI is not a decision on a loan application and therefore not an approval of the expenditure of federal funds. Issuance of the FONSI and its notices concludes RD's environmenta l review process. The ultimate deci sion on loan approval depends upon conclusion of this environmenta l review process in additi on to financial and engineering reviews Issuance of the FONSI and publication of notices will allow for these reviews to proceed. The decision to provide financial assistance also is subject to the availability of loan funds for the designated purpose in the Agency's budget There ar e no provisions to appeal this decision (i.e., issuance of a FONSI). Legal challenges to the FONSI may be fil ed in Federal District Court under the Administrative Procedures Act

APPROVAL

This Finding of No Significant Impact is effective upon signature Dated: May 28, 2024.

Mary J Warren, Assistant State Envi ronmenta l Coordinator
