Sweet Butts Cotton Candy, naturally delicious Cotton candy reaches a new level of taste with locally owned business BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

With summer events and festivals in full swing, street fare and sweet treats are part of the entertainment package. Sweet Butts Cotton Candy is giving event goers another locally owned business to support when the parties start or the festivities begin. Melissa Butts of Deer Grove, is the entrepreneur behind the sweet and sugary business that burst onto the local scene in the past month. With appearances at Tampico Days, Morrison Main Street Block Party, the upcoming Hot Dog Days in Sterling on Friday, and Cortland Fest in mid-August, Melissa has been amazed at the community response to her sugary concoctions. With naturally derived flavors and combinations such as root beer float, strawberries and champagne, chocolate-covered banana, cherry cheesecake, and many others, the possibilities for the cotton candy bucket or the bag are endless.

“Not in a million years did I think I’d be doing something like this,” Melissa said of the venture. She bought her first cotton candy machine through Amazon earlier this year “on a whim” for a fun activity to do with her 14 grandkids. She also found a distributor of organic cotton candy sugar, and their trial-and-error phase began. They began experimenting to make flavor combos such as banana caramel cheesecake or coconut and pineapple, and it just “took off from there,” she laughed. Now she has three machines, a tantalizing menu with novelty flavors, and naturally flavored organic cotton candy for special events. She’s working with the health department for a cottage food license certification and is seeking a concession trailer for the growing business. Currently she makes and sells the cotton candy on the spot but hopes to have more sale options soon. Melissa was born and raised in DeKalb and lived in Cortland, from 1993-2006. She’s been a recruiter for a telemarketing company since 1994, going all remote and parttime this past year. Her husband Joe Butts works for the railroad, and four of their five adult children live in Illinois, with one in Michigan. Daughter Jennifer Cooper and her husband Cole of Tampico have helped with set-up and working the concession stand at the events so far. Melissa said she’s always been involved

in her community by volunteering for various organizations over the years. This business is giving her the opportunity to continue that work, just in a different way. She donated half of her proceeds from Tampico Days to the Parks and Rec committee, and 100% of proceeds from Hot Dog Days will be donated to Sauk Valley Foodbank. As for her grandkids that helped spur this new business venture, she says they continue to inspire her and dream up new flavors. “They’re loving it. They’re mixing flavors together and making rainbow buckets of cotton candy,” she says. One of the most recent ones was chocolate peppermint, with remarks that it “tasted like Christmas.” As the experimentation and customer suggestions roll in, the menu will expand, as well as their event attendance. “I’m having so much fun. The pandemic has been tough on everybody,” she said of the past year. “Sugar makes people happy, and here I can be sociable and offer a product that’s not artificial.” Hot Dog Day featuring food, sidewalk sales, fun fair, and more will be on Friday, August 6 starting at 11 a.m. in downtown Sterling. Follow Sweet Butts Cotton Candy on Facebook, email Sweetbutts2021@ gmail.com, or visit sweetbuttscottoncandy. com for more information about other upcoming events.

A break in the humidity and heat provided a perfect weekend for the annual Old Fashioned Threshing Bee at Bos Brothers Historical Farms, 8105 Springhill Rd. in Erie. A variety of wheat-harvesting activities on ten acres of farm drew in people of all ages for a free and educational weekend of glimpsing into the life of farmers in days of old. With hundreds of pieces of equipment from the early 1900’s through the 1960’s, visitors could get up close and see plowing, threshing, hauling, and harvesting with old-fashioned operating machinery. J.I. Case Equipment was featured this year, with exhibitors, farmers, and vintage collectors from across the region bringing in their models for display. Activities and demonstrations included threshing machines and combines, rock crushing, steam-powered saw-milling, shingle sawing, blacksmithing, and horsepower testing, with equipment powered by steam engines or gas and kerosene. Early farm life demos included rug and basket weaving, broom-making, flour milling, bread baking, sewing, quilting, wood turning, pottery throwing, a muscle pull, and more. Neal Drummer of La

Moille, brought his vintage Port Huron steam tractor, which he hauls to a few shows a year. He said events like this are of historical and educational importance for agriculture communities, as it helps visitors see where their food, fuel, and fiber come from and how farming has evolved through the century. Local and regional vendors had handcrafted items for sale, and food vendors had meats, kettle corn, fresh veggies, homemade ice cream, and wood-fired pizzas. A bee colony in a viewing hive, plus honey and maple syrup, were brought in by Sweet Acres of Tiskilwa. Illinois State Senator Darren Bailey and his wife Cindy made an appearance on Saturday in his campaign for governor of Illinois. Bailey talked about his farming roots and his call to public service, with an aim to inform, educate, and let the voters decide on the vision for the country. He called for common sense conservative freedom and supporting small businesses and farmers. The Bos’s sold limited edition wooden nickels to help support the campaign. Kevin and Chuck Bos have a passion for farming and sharing how it was done before the technology of today.

CORDOVA LIBRARY

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Area kids and their families got a hands-on learning experience about the science of fire during a hot and humid evening at the Cordova Fire Department on Tuesday, July 27. Cordova District Library partners with the department every summer to bring the informational experience to the community, with demonstrations on hose rolling, a smoke house, thermal imaging, fire extinguishers, foam on fire, and an up-close look at the village’s fire station and engines. Volunteers with the department demonstrated fire behavior through a miniature smoke house that was set ablaze. Removable doors showed how fire is contained when oxygen is low, and the color of smoke showed what materials were burning. Holes cut in the roof will help the heat escape. Attendees learned about the importance of oxygen in fires, flash fires, smoke alarms, and why they should keep their doors closed. The kids also looked through a thermal imaging camera to see the heat signatures of the fire. The kids next got to put out flames with a fire extinguisher, with fuel poured into a pit and firefighters helping them spray the inferno down. They watched a demonstration about fire foam and how it quells the flames, toured the fire department and explored the station’s trucks, and topped off the lessons with a cool treat. The firefighters and library staff say the annual Science of Fire event equips children and families with life-saving information and how to respond in case of an emergency.

TOYS FOR TOTS FUNDRAISER

Beer Belly Car Wash all about the kids BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

It was like Christmas in July at Legends Sports Bar & Grill in Erie on Saturday, July 31 during the second annual Beer Belly Car Wash. Not only did the fundraiser bring in $1,085 for Toys for Tots thanks to a group of guys washing 50 vehicles in four hours, but the outlandish antics of the volunteers brought laughs and smiles to anyone supporting the cause. Legends owners Nathan and Dana Schnitzler said this is the biggest fundraiser for their annual Toys for Tots drive they hold at their establishment at 921 8th Ave. They appreciate all the drivers of cars, trucks, motorcycles, a police cruiser, and even a bike who gave at least $10 for the sudsy and sultry show.

Clinton Symphony Orchestra plans full season of concerts After a season of inactivity because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Clinton Symphony Orchestra is eager to resume full operations in September and will add a concert to its season. The 50 musicians of the orchestra already gathered in early June for an outdoor pops concert. Music director and conductor Brian Dollinger has set the opening indoor concert for Saturday, Sept. 18, in Vernon Cook Theater at Clinton High School. Billed as “A Joyous Return,” Dollinger will take a solo role in the opening with a Sinfonia Concertante for Double Bass and Viola by Dittersdorf. Dollinger plays double bass and will be

joined by Western Illinois University faculty violist Istvan Szabo. The added concert will be Nov. 6 in Sterling’s Centennial Auditorium. The program will observe the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, a celebration interrupted last year by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pianist Marian Lee will be soloist in the composer’s Third Piano Concerto with the orchestra. The orchestra then will perform Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, the most spirited of his nine symphonies. December brings the annual Holiday Concert, a longstanding tradition for the Clinton Symphony Orchestra. It will feature festive music of the season

and maybe some local guest musicians and conclude with a carol singalong. The concert is Dec. 11 in Vernon Cook Theater at Clinton High School. The musicians will warm a cold Sunday afternoon in January with a performance of chamber music. Billed as “The Music of Friendships,” the symphony orchestra’s musicians invite their friends to perform music for smaller ensembles. The concert is Jan. 16 at Zion Lutheran Church in Clinton. Each season, the Clinton Symphony Orchestra chooses a young artist to perform a solo piece. Interested high school musicians audition in January, and one is chosen to perform in Febru-

ary. That concert is at 2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 19, in the Morrison High School auditorium. Tickets for each concert will be available at the door or online at the orchestra’s website, www.clintonsymphony.org. Adults are $20. Students are free. Any student 18 and under may bring an accompanying adult for halfprice admission. Adult season tickets for all six concerts are available on the website or at the door of the first concert for $90, a 25% savings over the full individual concert price. Season tickets also can be ordered by mail at CSO, P.O. Box 116, Clinton, IA 52733-0116.

YOUR HEALTH

Causes, prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections By DR. STEPHEN HARRISON, M.D. Urinary tract infections, often abbreviated UTI, include infections of the bladder, the kidneys, the urethra, which is the tube coming out of the bladder, and in men, the prostate. Women are far more susceptible to infections of the urinary system, especially after adolescence. Prior to adolescence, infections are rare. After age 60, prostate infections increase, though there are still less infections in advanced aged men than in women. Common symptoms are burning, frequency, or going to the bathroom more than usual. Urgency may be a symptom, especially when new, but when it is ongoing, it usually is a sign of another condition such as urge incontinence. Suprapubic pain is pain that may accompany bladder infections and

refers to discomfort in the bladder or just above the pelvis area. Fever may signify an infection, though infections also may occur without a fever. Common infections such as bladder infections, also known as cystitis, tend not to have fever associated with them. The more advanced infections tend to have a fever, especially kidney infections. Sometimes the key symptom in an older individual may be confusion, which can be very misleading. Classic signs of kidney infection include flank pain around the side of the back, nausea, vomiting and fever. Blood, while alarming to many, is a common symptom, especially in bladder infections, and resolves when infection is under control. It is important to have a follow-up urine test after infection shows blood because one may not be able to see remaining blood that shows

up on the microscope. This blood may be significant in finding more important conditions, including cancer. With age, there are a variety of factors involved, such as stasis, or bacteria that sits in the bladder area and breeds. The bladder is a hollow tube that has bacteria present much of the time. However, when we empty out the bladder, we flush a fair amount of this out. When we drink lots of fluids, we dilute the bacteria. We also can change the pH or acidbased nature of the bladder by drinking cranberry juice. This makes a more favorable environment for the good organisms. Additional factors that set one up for infection include having a procedure performed in the bladder or a catheter introduced. Pregnancy can contribute to more infections because of the different positions of the organs in pregnancy that

contribute to the stasis effect. Medical conditions, such as diabetes, are associated with infections of the urinary tract. Most organisms that cause UTIs are part of one’s own system, including organisms found in the bowel. Infections also can be introduced sexually. This is one of the reasons why going to the bathroom after intercourse can have some protection effect. Some advise going before as well. Typically you will be given an antibiotic that is best suited for your type of infection. Some of these go only to the bladder. Others will hit the bladder and kidney. When infections are especially strong, one may need to go to the hospital, but with today’s injections and system-equivalent treatment available, it is usually not as necessary as in the past. Most UTIs will respond to the current treatment available.

Garden Plain Township passes leash law ordinance for dogs By SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

During a board meeting Tuesday, July 13, Garden Plain Township trustees voted to enact a leash law ordinance for dogs, effective immediately. Township Supervisor Laverne

Sterenberg, who’s been on the board for 28 years, said this is the first ordinance the township has passed since he was elected. The ordinance is in response to complaints about dogs running loose, especially on private property. Should a resident encounter an unleashed dog, they are encouraged to

call Whiteside County Animal Control in Rock Falls at 815-625-3507, which has “more bite” in enforcing the ordinance, Sterenberg noted. He added that 19 townships in Whiteside County have a similar ordinance on the books. Garden Plain Township includes the village of Garden Plain west to the Mis-

sissippi River, from the north end of Albany to the south end of Fulton, and east to Union Grove Township. Meetings are on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Garden Plain Township building on Garden Plain Road. Call Sterenberg at 309-8874489 with questions or concerns.

More stories from the Erie Middle School student ancestor project As one of the final projects of the school year, seventh graders at Erie Middle School were challenged to pick an ancestor or someone they could research and learn more about in order to write a story about that person’s life. Students conducted interviews with family members, and some students were able to gather additional resources and pictures to help tell their story. The project was a collaborative effort between the students’ history classes with Mrs. Gretchen Kruthoff and Mr. Matt Armstrong, English class with Mrs. Samantha 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, and the teachers were excited to bring back the project. Students enjoyed getting to know more about their families, and many were surprised to learn how interesting their families were. While there were many great stories written, not all will be published in the newspaper.

“Fred Passig” by Brianna Goodhart

My grandpa is one of the coolest guys you could ever meet! He never fails to put a smile on people’s faces, and he is one of the nicest people I know. His humor is just as great as his heart. It’s so awesome to share a good laugh with him. He is also so loving and so caring for all of his family. Papa Fred is loving because he always spends time with his grandkids whenever he gets the chance. He makes sure all the grandkids are happy when we’re there, he takes care of all of us, and he’s very patient with us. These are only a few reasons why my grandpa, Fred Passig, is the best! My papa was born in Maquoketa, Iowa. He and his family were farmers in Welton, Iowa, and he grew up milking cows on their family farm. My papa has married twice. His first wife passed away sadly, but they had my uncle Greg and my aunt Heidi. After his first wife’s passing, he got married to my Grandma Vic. Before my Grandma Vic married my papa, she was married to Ron. She and Ron had my mom, Becky, my uncle Nate and my uncle Eric. Ron passed away this year, but I don’t consider Ron my grandfather. My papa has been more of a father to my family and grandfather for me. Everyone is so grateful for what he has done for our family. He’s like the glue that keeps our family together. My grandpa is a very hard worker. He was a welder at John Deere, and he just recently retired. John Deere is where he met his good

friend, Cody, who he worked with and has been friends with for many years. My papa also has a lot of friends that drink at his local bar, “Hunters.” He likes to enjoy a drink or two with them, and on shrimp night, he likes to enjoy that, too! My Papa Fred also likes to go to Wisconsin to visit family, and he likes to go to Colorado to see the mountains, of course. Some hobbies of my papa’s include watching black and white TV, taking the Mustangs on rides, getting ice cream, relaxing and enjoying a nice cold beer or two. My Papa Fred also loves to spend time with his children and his grandchildren. He likes to take me to get ice cream, and we go on rides in his Mustang together. We go to Leclaire, Princeton and Camanche, which are all very nice towns. He really likes to go to Eldridge and visit my cousins, Hunter and Peyton. He always gets very happy to see us and hang out with us. We may be hyper but he always has a smile on his face when he sees us; he’s a real trooper. It’s not just the grandkids he likes to visit, he likes to go to his kid’s houses and visit, and, of course, my grandma comes with him. My papa is always bright-spirited and very happy to see his family. He recently had a retirement party, and it was hard to not notice the smile that remained on his face the entire time the grandkids were there. Besides just enjoying spending time with his family, my papa also takes very good care of us. My grandma had back surgery recently and he helped her every step of the way. I recently had ankle surgery to fix a torn ligament and he came and visited me and brought me my Christmas presents so I didn’t have to worry about going to their house on Christmas. Whenever I’m at my grandparents house, my papa makes sure I’m taken care of. He makes dinner for me and my friends when we’re there so we’re not hungry, he spares me money when I don’t have any, and overall he just makes sure we’re comfortable. While my papa visits Wisconsin, he stays at our relative Julie’s house. Julie has a daughter who has a baby, and whenever my papa holds her his eyes light up with joy! Family is No. 1 for my papa! Patience. It can take a lot with my mom’s side of the family, and somehow, my papa is always patient. Some of my family may struggle with patience, but my papa is very calm through a lot of situations. It could be because he’s getting older and he’s seen a lot. Patience is like a superpower for my papa. While everyone else is

worried or annoyed, my papa can keep patient, and I’m so grateful that he is as calm as he is. He’s very laid-back, and he just lets life roll. I learned a lot about my papa, Fred Passig, during this project, like how his family ran a farm and milked cows when he was younger. Now that I know how his life was, I think he is a very strong man. I feel closer with my papa after this project because I can relate to things and I have a connection with him and start a conversation about stuff that has happened to him or stuff he has done. I am extremely grateful for my Papa Fred. He makes time for me and his other grandkids, he makes sure that we are happy and comfortable while at his and my grandma’s house, he takes very great care of us, and he is very patient with us. He also likes to relax, and he has taught me that this is necessary to live a balanced life.

“Cynthia Jean Gregg” by Isaac Carlson

“Get it closer!” My grandmother often says this when we are picking up sticks. She could carry $150 in stamps for cigarettes when she worked at a warehouse. She also lived through the “gas war,” where tensions in the Middle East caused gas prices to drop and competitors dropped prices to be the best. My grandmother’s great, great-grandparents helped settle Geneseo. My Grandma Cindy is awesome because she is influential, teaches good life lessons and cooks good meals. My grandmother is influential because every time we go over, I learn something new, from starting a butane torch to fixing a rotary tiller. My grandmother was born on Nov. 3, 1949. She was born at the Hammond Henry Hospital in Geneseo, Illinois. Her parents were Dale Samuel Swan and Eleanor Mae Krantz Swan. When my Grandma Cindy was in first grade, she missed a lot of it because she was sick. Then in second grade, sh e couldn’t read because she had missed a lot of firstgrade lessons. In her free time as a child, she fished and rode her horse for fun. Every time I go over, I learn something new, such as how to weld or how to vacuum better, and sometimes it is how to cook. Overall, I learn a lot from my Grandma Cindy because she is an influential person. My Grandma Cindy teaches me good life lessons. One of them is to work hard and keep a clean yard. Another one is to cook well to impress people. She married twice, but my Grandma Cindy is still friends with

her ex-husband and they live close together. Her first marriage was with my Grandpa Dave in 1976. But then she remarried, marrying my Grandpa Joe on July 20, 1991. She was 42 at the time of her second marriage. Also, my Grandma Cindy has had a lot of jobs. She worked at a dry cleaner for three years, warehouse for 15 years, house cleaning service for three years, was a caretaker for nine years, and worked at Napa Auto Parts part time for 11 years. My Grandma Cindy also was a coordinator for a blood drive. During her time at the warehouse, she worked a cigarette stamping machine. She could carry around $150 in stamps. She also told me about a “gas war” that happened when she was younger, where there were tensions in the Middle East and competitors dropped their prices. My Grandma Cindy also cooks good meals. She had to take care of the house as a child because her mother was helping her mother and she was a caretaker for some time. My Grandma Cindy also raised ducks and geese and took care of chickens. When her mother was gone, she did the chores and ironing. Her first car was a Chevrolet Corvair, which she bought for $200 and paid it off by paying $2 to $5 a week. Before she was born, her great, great-grandparents helped settle Geneseo. When Geneseo was settled, it was part of the Underground Railroad. My Grandma Cindy also grew up during the Vietnam War, so it’s hard for her to buy things made in Vietnam. Through these experiences, my grandma is always able to teach me good life lessons. In this project, I feel I learned a lot. Some of it was how my grandma grew up, as well as other things I never knew like that Geneseo was part of the Underground Railroad. I think this project helped me see what my grandma did and about her childhood. I think this project helped me feel closer to her because she told me things I never knew about her, such as that her great, great-grandparents helped to settle Geneseo. I feel that the life lessons I learn from my grandma and through this project are important, such as how to cook, clean or keep a nice yard. Overall, my Grandma Cindy is awesome because she cooks good meals, she’s influential, and she teaches good life lessons. She shows me what to do, so I can pass it on. Overall, my Grandma Cindy is very nice and I would do this project again. Her words will always echo throughout the Carlson generation.

The Bass Federation Inc. (TBF) 2021 Junior World Championship brought fishing teams from all over the country to the Mississippi River and Shuler’s Shady Grove Park in Rapids City July 28-30. The JWC is a two-person team format in three days of competition featuring anglers 8th grade and under who qualified through their home state’s Junior program. The top percentage of Junior angler teams from each state’s sanctioned programs were invited to attend and compete for a share in over $10,000 in scholarships and prizes, according to a press release. On Wednesday and Thursday, the teams launched at 5:30 a.m. before returning to the boat ramp and 2 p.m. weigh-in. After two days, the Top 2 overall and Top 2 from each region advanced to the final day of fishing, with teams from Texas, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Arizona, Nebraska, Minnesota, Indiana, Alabama, North Carolina, Iowa, and Illinois making the final cut. Jeremiah Haas, Exelon Quad Cities Station biologist, was set up for fish care during the tournament, with an oxygenated water tank to hold the bass before returning them to the river. Only one came to him in distress, but soon recovered in the tank. He said TBF is responsible with an area’s local resources and the fish were released at different locations. A total of 52 fish were caught for a total weight of 82-13. Rapids City trustee Carolyn Fowler was taking

photos at the tournament, saying she was excited for the opportunity for the anglers, the village, and the region. “It’s awesome these kids can do something they love doing to possibly earn a scholarship towards their future,” she said. She added that the village spent weeks preparing the park for the tournament, hiring Blake Enloe and Legacy Corporation to dredge out the boat ramp channel, which was wish-list project for years. Public Works staff upgraded the dock, power-washed the gazebo, cleaned up the park, and made it welcoming for the hundreds of anglers and their families. Despite the hot and humid conditions of the week, the anglers were excited to be on the Mississippi River doing a sport they love. For many, it was their first time fishing North America’s largest river, and an experience they won’t ever forget. Many were impressed with the region’s offerings and the bigger fish found in the river. Dylan Sorrells and Cullum Brown of Texas took home the championship trophies and a $5,000 scholarship, with teams from Minnesota, West Virginia, Iowa, and Louisiana rounding out the top 5. The JWC was also held in conjunction with the Federation’s Annual State Leadership Conference in the Quad Cities. The tournament landed in the Quad Cities with the help of Lynn Hunt of Rapids City, who owns The Edge along with her husband Donnie. Lynn is also Vice President of Business Growth and Service at Visit Quad Cities. Village trustee Rick Fiems, an avid fisherman, was on the advisory committee for the event.

Living with no regrets: Flash flood survivor to share his story

Flash-flood survivor Robert Rogers will share his story of survival, healing, and hope in a series of talks August 3-5 in Rapids City and East Moline. On Labor Day weekend 2003, Rogers’ life as he knew it was swept away. Driving his family home from a wedding through a torrential downpour, their minivan was swallowed by a sixfoot wall of water. The bodies of Rogers’ wife, Melissa, and their four precious children were later found, three still buckled into their car seats. Robert lives with the horrors of those final moments. Rogers has been called a modern-day Job, who endured tragedy of Biblical proportions. Rogers has authored five books, including “Into the Deep” and “7 Steps to No Regrets.” He will share what got him through the days, months, and years after the flood. Rogers now teaches others to not only survive events that have broken them, but to thrive in their wake.

“What I went through gave me courage to not let opportunities pass me by. It’s the regrets of omission…the things we didn’t do…that we regret the most.” In the 17 years since that terrible day, Rogers has re-built his life, leaving a successful engineering career to teach and inspire people all over the world. Rogers has been featured on four major television networks and his story has changed countless lives. “People tell me I’ve helped them find the courage to change jobs, to have more children, even to adopt.” Rogers’ talks are woven with inspiring music and song. Robert Rogers will perform live and in-person at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Rapids City on Tuesday, Aug. 3 at 7 p.m. and Wednesday, Aug. 4 at 1 p.m. (after Noon Mass), and at St. Anne’s Catholic Church in East Moline on Wednesday, Aug. 4 at 7 p.m. and Thursday, Aug. 5 at 7 p.m. These events are free and open to the public. Free-will donations are encouraged.

Local performers Carmin and Jerry Wells, a.k.a. “Boots and Bibs”, will perform during Albany Riverfest Aug. 7. Sarah Ford/For Shaw Media

BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

A local musical duo will be bringing their country/blues music with a homegrown twist to the stage during Albany Riverfest on Saturday, August 7. Carmin and Jerry Wells are “Boots and Bibs” and they’ve been performing locally for the past four years. She’s known as “Boots” because she’s fond of wearing cowboy and muck boots, and he goes by “Bibs” since he wears them all the time. Carmin joked that he would’ve worn them at their wedding 16 years ago if she would’ve let him. Carmin sings and plays keyboard and flute, and Bibs plays the fiddle, guitar, and harmonica, writes their songs, and is sole producer of their own recording label, Big Blue House Productions. So far they’ve released three albums, with Jerry noting he has enough songs ready for two more. He was once in the band Brotherin and has years of experience in the field. “He’s creative, a beautiful musician and songwriter, and is the productivity behind our music,” Carmin says. They play a mix of covers and originals at all their shows. The Wells live a few miles outside of Erie where she loves to garden, sew, quilt, and do wood and metal crafts. He likes to write, cook, work with leather, and is a “jack of all trades.” He retired from Service Steel about five years, and she recently left her job as a union construction laborer to have more time for family and to commit to Boots & Bibs full-time. They have nine chil-

dren between them, five of his, three of hers, and “one original and the last of the tribe,” their 14-year-old daughter Jolene. They also have 12 grandchildren, and lil’ Copper the dachshund to fill their days with love. They grow their own food, with organic tomatoes and rows of carrots and other vegetables, plus apricots, cherries, apples, and grapes to eat or make “Papa Bear’s Wine Shine.” They freeze and can and are “living by the fruits of our labor and enjoying every minute of it,” said Carmin of their time spent at home. Even though they never really stopped performing in the past year, whether at events or private parties, they’ve been busy with shows this year especially as people wants to get out and about more. They’re grateful for everybody who supports live music, WQUD Vintage Radio in Erie for playing their originals, and all the independent musicians and crafters who express their talent through art, which is the “heart of humanity.” “We do what we can to spread the message every day - that this is an amazing free country where you can express yourself,” said Carmin. “We are what we are – real folks. Music is a hobby for us.” The couple will be taking the stage at Riverfest around 4 p.m. with other local musicians lined up throughout the afternoon and evening. Other activities at the River Fest include the Red Lippy Race for Grace 5K at 8 a.m. followed by a kiddie run, a car show, outdoor beer garden, and crafts and vendors, with festivities along the riverfront throughout the whole day.

Secretary of State facilities to again require masks

Because of a recent increase in COVID-19 cases, Secretary of State Jesse White announced that Driver Services facilities, Secretary of State offices and the Illinois State Capitol building will require all employees and customers to wear a mask beginning Monday. White stressed that it is imperative for Driver Services facilities to remain open to serve the public to reduce the heavy customer volume caused by the COVID-19 pandemic over the past year. White said reinstating the mask policy for employees and customers will help achieve this goal. White is reminding customers that his office extended expiration dates for driver’s licenses and ID cards until Jan. 1. As a result, expired documents will remain valid until Jan. 1 so customers do not need to rush into a facility. White continues to urge the public to consider using online services when possible instead of visiting a facility because of heavy customer volume. White has greatly expanded online services and encourages the public to visit his office’s website at www.cyberdriveillinois.com. Many transactions can be conducted online, including the purchase of license plate stickers, obtaining a duplicate driver’s license or ID card and renewing driver’s licenses and ID cards, including REAL IDs, for those who are eligible. As a reminder, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has extended the federal REAL ID deadline to May 3, 2023.
