RIVERDALE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Mason Smyser

After 50 years on Main Street, Port Byron’s only barber, Bob Pifkin, will retire June 30. He is currently located at the Hair Shop, 101 N. Main St. Bob grew up in Paw Paw. After his 1969 high school graduation, he moved to Silvis to attend Lincoln Barber College in East Moline. After graduating, Bob began his career in March 1970 as an apprentice to Bob Wainwright at Wainwright’s Barber Shop on Main Street in Port Byron. Pifkin assumed ownership of the shop when Wainwright moved on to full-time real estate sales. Barbering has been good to Bob. He made Port Byron his home along with his wife, Charlotte, and their three sons (now grown with families of their own). As you can well imagine, hair styles have undergone many changes, and Bob kept up with current trends throughout his 50 year career. Bob has many customer families - adults, children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. Bob also offers mobile barbering, going to nursing homes, hospitals, and homebound customers. Bob will continue to offer mobile services after retirement. Over the years, Bob has met people from all walks of life and made many good friends through the barber shop. Although he will miss his customers, Bob is looking forward to an enjoyable retirement and spending time with his family and grandkids, as well as traveling. Bob’s final day at the barber shop is June 27, so be sure to stop in and wish him well. Bob thanks everyone for their loyalty over these many many years. Simply put, thanks for the memories!

CRIME WATCH

Iowa women arrested in equestrian center theft $10,000 worth of equipment taken in May 31 break in BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@shawmedia.com MORRISON – Police say two Iowa women stole thousands of dollars in tack from a horse therapy group that helps people with disabilities. Krista P. Godat, 45, of Clinton, was arrested Thursday and Jolene L. Decker, 55, of Camanche, was arrested Friday by Morrison police. Godat is charged with burglary, which carries 3 to 7 years in prison, and theft, which carries 2 to 5 years. In a separate but related case, she also is charged with possession of less than 5 grams of meth, also punishable by 2 to 5 years. She is being held on $75,000 bond and has a preliminary hearing June 15. Decker, whose case was not yet available in online records Friday, preliminarily was charged with two counts of burglary and one of theft. She is free on a recognizance bond, jail records show. The two are accused of stealing $10,000 in tack from the nonprofit White Oaks Therapeutic Equestrian Center’s barn at the Whiteside County fairgrounds in Morrison sometime after 6 p.m. Sunday. Most of the stolen items, which included saddles and saddle racks, were recovered, Morrison police said.

Jolene Decker

Krista Godat

Before the arrests, a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to replace the equipment raised more than $11,000 by the time it was closed Saturday. The investigation is ongoing and more charges may be filed. “We have worked very hard over several years to acquire nice equipment for the riders in our program, whether it be working to find item donors or fundraising and grant writing to be able to buy new, and with everything that is now gone, I am heartbroken to announce that our ability to operate remains uncertain at this time,” according to the statement from White Oaks. Items taken include 10 Circle Y flex tree western saddles with safety stirrups, five new western saddle pads, several western girths, cordless Wahl clippers, several sets of reins, and two 3-tier saddle racks. The center was scheduled to start its summer program June 16. Find the center on Facebook or go to www.

CHILDREN’S HEALTH

Elks offer free children’s podiatry clinic at MCH Illinois Elks Children’s Care Corporation in cooperation with Northwest District Elks Lodges will sponsor a free children’s podiatry assessment clinic on Thursday, June 25, at Morrison Family Care Clinic, located at 303 N. Jackson Street, Morrison with Dr. David Yeager as the clinician in charge. The clinic starts at 8 a.m. and is by appointment only. To make an appointment call the Illinois Elks Children’s Care office at 1-800-2720074 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. There are no charges for any services at this clinic. No medical referral is necessary for the clinic but physicians are welcome to refer patients to the clinic for a specific reason or second opinion. School nurses are welcome to refer children and families to the clinic.

COVID-19 TESTING State opens COVID-19 testing for all

The State of Illinois is opening its community-based testing sites to anyone to get tested, regardless of symptoms or other criteria. As we move through the Restore Illinois plan, and into a full reopening of the state, testing will be crucial to identifying new cases and taking immediate action to prevent additional spread. “As we move forward, COVID-19 testing must be widely available and this is a step in that direction,” said Illinois Emergency Management Agency

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Winning Wheels Spotlight: Bill Clodfelter

The Elks Organization has been working with physically challenged children since 1928 and this is one of the 16 clinic locations throughout Illinois. The clinic is an ideal time to have a child reviewed for bone and joint development. If your child has feet pointing inward or outward or complains of foot pain they can be seen at this clinic. There is no charge for any diagnostic services at this clinic. The Elks will provide financial assistance to the best of their ability for children needing further treatment or specialty equipment when the family lacks sufficient resources to do so. In the past, the Elks have purchased therapy services, corrective shoes, braces, wheelchairs and augmentative communication devices to help children overcome a variety of physical challenges.

Bill Clodfelter, 50, is from Milan. He has one younger sister who is also a caregiver, and a girlfriend who lives in New Hampshire. He worked as a Delivery Lead and Maintenance Director for Godfather’s Pizza. Bill would like to one day open his own diner and restaurant maintenance service. His favorite Winning Wheels activities are using the computer lab and going on outings, specifically where he can eat at a new restaurant. His hobbies are welding and airbrushing, and traveling to Wisconsin for annual fishing trips. Bill’s favorite food is pizza, and his favorite movie is “anything Sci-Fi.” He is nicknamed “MacGyver” because of his good problem solving skills.

(IEMA) Director Alicia Tate-Nadeau. “The state-operated Community-Based Testing Sites currently have the capacity to test more than 6,000 people per day, and now there will be no restrictions to who can be tested for this potentially deadly virus.” No appointment, doctor referral, or insurance is needed at state operated drive-thru sites and testing is available at no cost to the individual. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is recommending anyone

who has recently been part of a mass gathering, including rallies and protests over the past week, get tested for coronavirus disease (COVID-19). “As people gather in large crowds with varying degrees of social distancing, there is cause for concern about COVID-19 spread and outbreaks, especially if masks were not worn universally,” said IDPH Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike. “I urge anyone who recently attended a rally, protest, or other mass gathering to get tested for COVID-19 so we can

Bill Clodfelter

identify any cases early. We recommend testing 5-7 days after participating in large group rallies, or immediately if symptoms develop. If there are known cases, we can make sure those people are quarantined and not exposing other individuals.” The virus has been found to spread between people up to a couple days before people start showing symptoms. Because of this, the number of people an infected person could unknowingly expose can be exponential. A list of public and private testing sites can be found on the IDPH website at http://www.dph.illinois.gov/testing.

USDA REPORT

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue has announced the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) has already approved more than $545 million in payments to producers who have applied for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program. FSA began taking applications May 26 and the agency has received over 86,000 applications for this important relief program. “The coronavirus has hurt America’s farmers, ranchers, and producers, and these payments directed by President Trump will help this critical industry weather the current pandemic so they can continue to plant and harvest a safe, nutritious, and affordable crop for the American people,” said Perdue in a press release. “We have tools and resources available to help producers under-

payments and will release further updates each Monday at 2:00pm ET. The report can be viewed at farmers.gov/ cfap. FSA will accept applications through Aug. 28. Through CFAP, USDA is making available $16 billion in financial assistance to producers of agricultural commodities who have suffered a five-percent-or-greater price decline due to COVID-19 and face additional significant marketing costs as a result of lower demand, surplus production, and disruptions to shipping patterns and the orderly marketing

of commodities. In order to do this, producers will receive 80 percent of their maximum total payment upon approval of the application. The remaining portion of the payment, not to exceed the payment limit, will be paid at a later date nationwide, as funds remain available.

Because of restrictions that remain in place, the Dinks for Hospice pickleball fundraiser scheduled for July 18 at Cen-

tennial Park is cancelled. Contact Debra Robinson at dinksforhospice@gmail.com or 815-499-7839

for information or to donate to Rock River Hospice and Home at 2706 Avenue E in Sterling.

Getting Help from FSA New customers seeking one-onone support with the CFAP application process can call 877-508-8364 to speak directly with a USDA employee ready to offer general assistance. This is a recommended first step before a producer engages the team at the FSA county office at their local USDA Service Center.

YOUR HEALTH

BY DR. STEPHEN HARRISON, MD Baking soda is a substance that the body produces for its very critical functions. Baking soda is an underrated anti-inflammatory agent. Furthermore it helps to detoxify a variety of substances in the blood, not just your refrigerator. Because it is a strong base, it is a major buffer against acids in the blood. These acids arrive in many former including our food and other chemical substances. In their acidic state they do far more damage. The PH changes it effects are instantaneous. Conditions that thrive in the acid environment include acne, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food allergies, joint pains, low energy headaches, panic attacks, premenstrual

cramping, cold sores, depression, insomnia, migraines, skin conditions and others. More advanced conditions may include Crohn’s disease, MS, Rheumatoid arthritis, Hodgkin’s , leukemia. Lupus, TB, and others. Infections like fungus and viruses thrive in acidic environments. Before we endorse off label treatment randomly with baking soda, let us look where it is already employed in mainstream medicine. These measures include dialysis, certain liver diseases, some vascular or circulation operations. An off label use has been theorized to help diabetes. Sodium bicarbonate has been used for cardiopulmonary resuscitation in times past. It has long been recog-

nized as a treatment for sour stomach in both mainstream and complimentary medicine. There are a variety of ways that sodium bicarbonate can be administered including by IV in the medical arena. Some people bathe in it to help their skin. It can be quite effective as a toothpaste by itself or after your standard toothpaste as a rinse. Of course the main use is by mouth. One recommendation is to use 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon in 4 ounces of water 4- 6 times a day. The maximum intake of sodium bicarbonate would generally be 1.5 to 2 teaspoons per day. There are dangers to baking sodium. A small percentage of people will be salt sensitive and therefore need to watch carefully under medical supervision.

Some people will become overly alkaline in their blood with this treatment though frankly that is rare. Checking urine PH can give some nice clues as to your safe range. People with advanced kidney conditions need precautions. Taking baking sodium should not be used as a substitute for healthy nutrition and breathing which can both heavily influence the PH. Many people have tried to approximate the alkaline diet by using alkaline water. Alkaline water is not the same as the preferred process of water with alkalinity. Obviously the price of baking sodium makes this an inexpensive opportunity for many to check this out themselves.

Town of Fulton created third precinct in 1960 60 Years - June 16, 1960

A third precinct for the Town of Fulton was created by the Board of Supervisors at Morrison.
