Erie School Board discusses energy bill BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

The Erie School District received its energy bill from Jo-Carroll Energy after the Texas deep freeze and it was four times higher than normal, Board of Education members learned March 22. “It’s an extent we’ve never seen before,” said Superintendent Chuck Milem. He said he had a lengthy conversation with Jo-Carroll reps where they discussed recourse, federal litigation which could take years, and what the district can do to pay the bill such as developing a budget, paying the lowest bills from the bus barn and elementary first, and

spreading the rest of the costs throughout the school year. Milem applied for a $7,500 grant through Jo-Carroll which could help alleviate costs, if awarded. The normal energy cost for February is around $10,000, with this past month’s bill totaling nearly $40,000. Milem next thanked the efforts of a community-based team for five weeks of meetings, discussions, and spending time to create a student-centered approach for students they hope to launch in the fall. The team consisted of students, teachers, and community members, with a goal to identify ways to maximize student strengths and talents.

“This could help them pursue their purpose, and help them find their strengths and maximize those,” said Milem, adding this effort could be a pillar of the school district. Curriculum, leadership teams and the Board of Education will be having more strategic conversations and evaluating the opportunities the school is providing and can further provide. In IDHP and COVID-19 updates, Milem reported that school boards and superintendents now have more discretion in deciding what events can be scheduled, giving more control at local level in conjunction with local health departments. Additionally, temperature checks at school are no longer required.

Easter fun was offered at Winning Wheels The Easter Bunny was joined by Winning Wheels staff and a few bundled up residents to hand out bags of treats on April 1. In a matter of two hours, more than 150 goodie bags were gifted to smiling children cozied up in their cars during the drive-thru Easter hunt. This was the first public event the care facility hosted since the pandemic began. The residents were excited to pack up some treats to give to the kids, preparing about 200 bags full of candy and coloring booklets in the past week. “We wished the weather was a little warmer, but a few braved the weather the whole two hours and were excited to wave to the kids and tell them Happy Easter. Many also watched from the windows inside,” said Sheila Huizenga, Director of Sarah Ford/For Shaw Media Admissions & Marketing. Sabrina Russell said the event “was so Winning Wheels residents, seated from the left, Sabrina Russell, Jeff Strom, and Jeff Fuhs didn’t fun. The kids really loved to see the Easter let the cool temperatures keep them from smiling and waving at the passing cars full of kids at the drive-thru Easter hunt on April 1. Bunny.”

WHITESIDE COUNTY

Residents cautioned about COVID-19 surge Whiteside enters warning status; two variants found On April 2, Whiteside County was added to the Illinois Department of Public Health’s list of counties in warning status because of the high number of cases per 100,000 (259 per 100,000) and increasing percentage of adults visiting the emergency department with COVID-19-like illnesses (6.4%). This comes as new COVID-19 cases are once again on the rise. Of the 424 cases announced in March, 306 (72%) have been identified between March 18 and 31, with 192 (45%) being announced in just the past seven days. This has led to an increase in Whiteside County’s positivity rate. Whiteside’s seven-day rolling average positivity rate is 7%, up from 3.1% at the beginning of March. This is the highest Whiteside’s positivity rate has been since the end of January. In addition to the increasing number of positive cases, IDPH recently identified two COVID-19 variants among Whiteside County residents. The variants have been identified are B.1.1.7, which was first identified in the United Kingdom, and B.1.429, which was first detected in California. When a virus mutates, the new strain is sometimes referred to as a variant. These mutations can cause changes that allow the virus to spread more easily, induce more serious illness, or reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine or other treatments. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes the UK variant, B.1.1.7, should have minimal impact on the effectiveness of the vaccine, but believe it to be more transmissible (about 50% higher) and cause more severe illness based on hospitalizations and fatality rates. The increased transmissibility is of significant concern as about 84% of Whiteside County residents remain unvaccinated. The CDC has indicated the California varient, B.1.429, has increased transmissibility (about 20% more transmissible) and resistance to the protection offered by vaccination. This potentially

Staying home and getting tested when you have symptoms of COVID-19 Symptoms of COVID-19 can be varied and include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea and diarrhea. Individuals who have any of these symptoms should avoid others and seek COVID-19 testing. Early identification and isolation of COVID-19 individuals reduces the spread of the virus.

Social distancing

COVID-19 is spread through close contact. At this time, residents should limit face-to-face contact with others when possible. This includes limiting contact when running errands by using curbside pickup and delivery, using conference calls and video conferencing in workplaces, and keeping distance and staying outdoors when attending events and gatherings. The CDC has released updated guidance for fully vaccinated individuals attending small social functions. Individuals should continue distancing when at work and in public.

Protect yourself, your family and your community

• Mask up: Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth face covering or surgical mask whenever you are around people who do not live in your household. • Back up: Keep a minimum of 6 feet between you and anyone who does not live in your household. • Check up: Stay home and seek testing when you have any symptoms of COVID-19. • Vax up: Get vaccinated when it is your turn to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

palpitations are limited. Those that are not associated with other symptoms usually do not need to be evaluated to any significant extent. Thus, those with only the forceful heartbeats may realize this is not an uncommon symptom that often passes without further incident. On the other hand, if there is chest pain, shortness of breath, blackout sensation, lightheadedness or more than mild dizziness, further attention should be sought. Symptoms, as well as past medical history, will determine what level of evaluation is performed. This may include an EKG or electrocardiogram, and on occasion, thyroid functions. In

some instances with persistent or recurrent problems, a Holter monitor may be worn. Another point that should be made is virtually all of us who follow our pulse or heart rates over an extended period of time will notice some abnormalities. The good news is most of these are benign. Occasionally, when treatment is necessary, medicines may occasionally be employed that help lessen the sensation of palpitations. Certain blood pressure medications, such as beta blockers, may be prescribed if your symptoms are too prominent.

Morrison community blood drive for March exceeds goal BY KAYWYN J. BESWICK

R.N., Morrison Blood Drive Team Leader It was a chilly Thursday on March 18, when the second community blood drive of 2021 took place at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Garden Plain Road in Morrison. The drive was sponsored by Bethesda Lutheran Church, which has loyally sponsored a drive annually for 18 years. Those who purchased and prepared sandwiches and cookies for the canteen were Nancy Pannier, Dee Janssen, Nancy Usterbowski and Andrea Dalton. Thank you to St. Mary’s Catholic Church for agreeing that blood drives are “essential” and for graciously allowing the American Red Cross to hold Morrison Community Blood Drives every other month in the church hall. Thank you to the Knights of Columbus (Terry Hoehn, Jim Prombo and Jimmy Prombo) for helping to move everything out of the church hall the evening before the blood drive and returning at the end of the drive to put everything back in place. Thank you to the two certified ARC volunteers, Dan Ross from Coal Valley and Pat Pendgraft from Sterling. I am grateful for your expertise. Much gratitude to my volunteers, Carole Patton, Jen Stoudt and Mary and Vern Latwesen, who helped man the stations throughout the day. The goal the ARC set for us was 59 “good units” to head to Peoria at the end of the day. The goal was exceeded with 74 units from 61 generous donors. That proved to be 127% efficiency, saving about 222 lives! There were 14 amazing double red cell/power red donors – Vaughn Maxfield, Larry Oudekerk, Cindy Hoogheem, John “Jack” Bland, James “Dave” Boyles, Tammy Pruis, Jim

Knutti and eight others (four women and four men) who did not want their names published. There was one first-time donor, Philip Olt IV. Thank you for joining the ranks. There were nine no-show appointments, but three walk-ins helped balance that out. There was only one deferral. We usually expect a 7% to 10% deferral rate, but there were better blood pressures, pulses and hemoglobin levels at this drive. Unfortunately, the American Red Cross said the Jen Banks Memorial Blood Drive committee has decided that without a site available and conflicting schedules, this will no longer be an annual event. As a courtesy to the committee and the numerous family, friends and co-workers who have donated at those drives, I am offering that those Submitted photo donors come to the community drives.

donors will still donate with the American Red Cross and still be able to give blood in honor of loved ones fighting diseases and in memory of those we have lost their lives. The American Red Cross recently acquired state-of-the-art automatic facial temperature video screens. The screens eliminate close-contact temperature taking. ARC is continuing to test donor blood for COVID-19 antibodies for free. Several donors have tested positive who were not aware they had been infected. If you would like to know if you have antibodies, you can come and donate blood. The blood donation process is easy, relatively painless, usually takes less than an hour, and you can save up to three lives! The next blood drive will be from noon to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 20, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church on Garden Plain Road. St. Mary’s will be the sponsor. To make an appointment, call Kaywyn Beswick at 815-718-5117, or go online at redcross.org to schedule the appointment.

Riverdale school board reviews COVID-19 updates By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Changes to COVID-19 guidelines were discussed at the Riverdale Board of Education meeting on March 22. Superintendent Josh Temple relayed that “goal posts continue to move” with updated guidance now in place. There will be no more daily screenings, though school officials encourage families to continue checking temperatures at home. Remote learning for the next school year will be limited to families with an increased risk for illness, with more board discussions needed. “It will not be out of convenience,

but out of necessity,” Temple said. Indoor guidelines have also been adjusted with 25% capacity for indoor facilities, allowing more family members and students to attend events. Temple said the school is looking to offer free rapid testing for symptomatic cases, with more details yet to be worked out. Temple also discussed the second round of Cares Relief funds to the school, with about $650,000 expected. The funds will help support students and learning gaps, summer programming for up to three years, and updating high school textbooks while linking to online resources. Another possible project is filtra-

tion systems to increase air quality while better controlling the indoor environment. A third round of funding is also possible. The board discussed the hiring process for a high school principal, with 12 applicants so far. The board is hoping for a recommendation by the April meeting, with various groups to help in the interviewing process. The board also approved hiring an additional Kindergarten teacher for the 2021-22 school year and creating a fourth section for a classroom to help maintain smaller classes, after 69 students signed up at Kindergarten round-up. It also approved hiring an Instructional Technology Coach.

In other reports: • The 2021-22 and 2022-23 school calendars were approved, with Aug. 16, 2021, and Aug. 15, 2022 as start days. • Exterior high pressure sodium lights at the high school will be replaced with more efficient lighting at a cost of $4,000, though rebated. • Sports and practices have started, with adjustments and scheduling being worked out. • The Scholastic Bowl team won a regional title and finished 2nd at sectionals; the NHS inducted 12 new members; and Riverdale Interact members recently completed a service project by wrapping trees for Living Lands & Waters.

Registration underway for 4-H Day Camp Registration for 4-H Day Camp 2021 is open. 4-H Day Camp is set for June 15, 16 and 17 at Rock River Christian Camp in Polo. Sign up today to get your child in on all the amazing fun. Youth may choose to participate in all three days of camp or attend the dates that work best in their schedule. 4-H Day Camp is a day-camping experience that is conducted cooperatively by University of Illinois Extension staff in Boone, Carroll, DeKalb, Jo Daviess, Lee, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside and Winnebago counties and the professional staff at RRCC. Parents have sent their children to

4-H camp for a variety of reasons: to have fun, to make new friends, to develop new skills, to be physically active and to appreciate nature. 4-H camp is way more than a few days of fun. Sending your child to 4-H camp will allow them to create memories they will carry with them through adulthood. 4-H camp teaches youth to make good decisions, builds their self-confidence, and helps them to become independent and gain the ability to work well with others. These skills will help youth develop into strong adult leaders. 4-H camp counselors devote much of their personal time to ensure today’s camp-

ers have the same great experience they did as children. Campers will check in daily at 9 a.m. Daily checkout begins at 8 p.m. During camp week, youth will engage in a variety of activities designed to challenge, educate and entertain. Two or three free-choice periods will be offered daily and will include options such as hiking, shooting sports, arts and crafts, crate stacking, team building challenges, zip lining, swimming and more. Early evening activities will be provided by 4-H camp counselors and will include campfires, a games night and an adventure night.

4-H camp is open to all boys and girls ages 8 to 14 by June 15, 2021. 4-H membership is not required. All participants will be expected to comply with the same high behavior standards expected of 4-H’ers. Cost for each day is $60. Camp fees must be paid in full by May 3. Download a camper application at https:// extension.illinois.edu/bdo/northernillinois-4-h-camp, or register online at go.illinois.edu/4HSummerCamp.

Two local fire departments will have their annual pancake breakfast fundraisers this spring, with a few changes to account for safety and COVID-19 protocol. The Hillsdale Fire Protection District will be serving breakfast from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, May 2, at the Hillsdale Fire Station, 412 Main St. The menu includes pancakes, sausage,

eggs, coffee, juice and milk. Drive-thru and socially distanced dining inside will be offered. The Erie Fire and Ambulance Department announced on social media that its breakfast date is Sunday, May 23, for pancakes and more. More details will be announced. The department wants the community to save the date for the annual tradition. Both breakfasts are by donation, with all funds to support the departments’ equipment or training needs.

Big plays spark Newman win over Morrison BY BRIAN WEIDMAN A double dose of Newman proved to be just enough in this year’s annual grudge match against Morrison. Senior linebacker Brett Newman spearheaded a stout defense for the Comets, and they were able to hang on for a 14-7 victory Thursday night at Roscoe Eades Stadium. Newman (2-0) was coming off a running-clock win against Bureau Valley, but was pushed to the limit by Morrison (1-2). “Coach [Brandon Kreczmer] always talks about being tougher than the other team and hitting them in the mouth,” Brett Newman said. “I feel that’s what we did tonight. We gave it our all, and that’s all you can ask for really.” “Hats off to Morrison,” Kreczmer said. “[Morrison] Coach [Ryan] Oetting does a great job. That was an old-fashioned football game – a lot of hard hitting, a rivalry game. To get a game like this, early in this shortened season, could definitely springboard us forward.” Newman’s offense played keep away

Continued from page 14 “It went off his hands,” Brett Newman said. “I read the 1 and the 2 man, and I was lucky enough to have my other corners and the linebackers do their jobs, and I was lucky enough to make the play.” After a scoreless first quarter, Morrison pieced together a nine-play, 52-yard march capped by a 7-yard touchdown pass from Helms to Alex Anderson. Helms’ extra point made it 7-0. Newman responded with a six-play, 54-yard drive that ended with Andrew Velasquez rumbling in from 14 yards for the score. Jacob Donald tacked on the extra point. The Comets’ go-ahead score came right after halftime, an 11-play, 67-yard drive finished off by Velasquez from 4 yards out. “You’ve got to give Newman credit,” Oetting said. “They played hard and it was a physical game. It was a little bit of

a war of attrition for us. With 18 varsity-aged kids, our kids don’t come off the field much. Newman did what they had to do, so give them credit. They stopped us when they had to.” Helms completed 10 passes for 130 yards. Ottens grabbed six of those for 39 yards. Anderson had three grabs for 39 yards. Helms was picked off three times, once by Brett Newman at the end of the game and twice by Owen McBride in the first half. The Comets had no turnovers. “They’re explosive. They tried to spread us out, and Helms is a heck of a quarterback,” Kreczmer said. “We were having trouble keeping him in the pocket. They have a lot of big receivers that went up and got it. A lot of the plays TC had, we were right there. He’s 6-7 and went up to go get it. It was good team defense, and anytime we can win the takeaway battle, we’ll take it.” Velasquez had 18 carries for 92 yards and two touchdowns, giving him six on the season. Brady Stevens added five carries for 45 yards.

We Cancel Timeshares for You Many people believe their timeshares cannot be canceled, but they often can be. Our founder and CEO, Chuck McDowell, has successfully fought in federal court for the right to help timeshare owners — like you — out of their “binding” agreements. Whether you were misled or pressured, you may have an easy exit.

How Does the Cancellation Process Work? • Start with a FREE consultation to discuss your needs. • If we see that the circumstances of your agreement qualify you to exit the timeshare, you’ll be assigned a specialist to walk you through gathering documentation. • Our Resolution Department then works quickly to have your timeshare and related fees permanently terminated. We are able to help most timeshare owners that contact us. You could be one phone call away from complete peace of mind.
