Concert in the park, 9/11 memorial tribute BY SARAH FORD For Shaw Media

Winning Wheels had their last “Saturday Concert in the Park” for the season at Eclipse Square on Sept. 11. Zach Burke, Rogue State of Mind, and the Gray Wolf Band took the stage throughout the afternoon and evening, with many from the community finding a place on the lawn to set up chairs and listen to the music. At 5 p.m., the music stopped for a

memorial to remember those lost on 9/11, and to honor local first responders. Prophetstown resident and Winning Wheels Chaplain Andy Ploenzke led the service with prayer and a reflection on the first responders who gave the ultimate sacrifice 20 years ago. He encouraged those in attendance to repent and give authority to God, and to remember that actions speak louder than words. The names of the members of the Lyndon, Hooppole, and Prophetstown Fire Departments, Lyndon and Prophet-

stown Police Departments, and Prophetstown Fire Protection District board were then read, with thirteen of those members in attendance. There was a prayer for their continued safety and smiles when a young boy of one of the firefighter’s ran across the lawn and into his father’s arms. American Legion Post #522 members performed a gun salute and the playing of Taps before the ceremony concluded and the Gray Wolf Band played into the evening.

Introducing Kara Stoecker, Fulton 15 High School B.L.I.N.D. leader How has B.L.I.N.D. impacted your life?

B.L.I.N.D. has allowed me to meet people from other schools and become close with the freshmen. In the program, we have people I can be vulnerable with, which is a nice break.

What advice would you give to freshmen that would encourage them to pursue becoming a B.L.I.N.D. leader?

I 100% would recommend doing B.L.I.N.D. It allows you to form relationships you otherwise wouldn’t have and helps build leadership qualities.

If you were given $1,000, what would you do with it?

River Bend Bulldogs teams prevail over Spring Valley Hall The River Bend Bulldogs football teams traveled to Spring Valley Hall for a rare Sunday matchup with the Red Devils on Sept. 5. The Bulldogs headed home with two exciting wins. On a beautiful day for football, the Bulldogs 7th/8th grade team got out to a first-quarter lead on a touchdown pass from Braedon Meyers to Landen Leu. The 2-point conversion was successful on a run by Mason Kuebel. The Bulldogs’ CJ Struckman had a touchdown run in the second quarter. Leu added the 2-point conversion. Spring Valley Hall also scored in the quarter and trailed the Bulldogs 16-6 at halftime. Bulldogs turnovers helped the Red

Devils come back and tie the score at 22-22 late in the game. With 18 seconds left, the Devils kicked off to the Bulldogs hoping to come away with the tie. Leu had other plans. Leu returned the kickoff 68 yards for the winning score in an exciting 30-22 Bulldogs victory. The 5th/6th grade Bulldogs continued their impressive season with a 30-6 victory over Spring Valley. The Bulldogs are 3-0. Two touchdowns by Brayden Powell gave the Bulldogs a 14-0 halftime lead. A stellar defensive play and another Powell touchdown in the second half sealed the win.

IN BRIEF Hike the Hennepin Canal outing set for Sept. 19

The Friends of the Canal are hosting their monthly Hike the Hennepin Canal outing Sunday, Sept. 19. This month’s hike will be from Bridge 50 to Bridge 52 on the feeder canal. The hike is 4.1 miles in length and has been named the “Cottonwood.” Hikers will meet at Bridge 50 on the northwest side at 1:30 p.m. and will be shuttled to Bridge 52 to begin the hike. Directions to Bridge 50 are to take Route 40 north from Route 6 (or I-80) to Route 172, then west on Route 172 to where it

crosses the feeder canal. The monthly hikes were developed by the Friends of the Hennepin Canal as an opportunity for everyone to get to know the canal personally by hiking it from the Illinois River to the Mississippi River (including the feeder canal) in small legs. You need not be a member of the Friends to join in any of the hikes. There is no fee for the hikes. Come and join in the fun and bring a friend. Dress appropriately for the weather. For information, contact Ed Herrmann at hikes@friends-hennepin-canal.org or call 815-664-2403.

If there was something you could do to change the world, what would it be?

If I could change the world, I would do what I can to give people the courage they need to go after anything they want. A lot of people have the qualifications needed to be great but are hesitant based on the world’s standards.

Du-Pec offensive line decisive in victory over Fulton BY TROY TAYLOR

ttaylor@shawamedia.com FULTON – Durand-Pecatonica running backs followed the holes created by their offensive line. Then the backs broke those open for some big runs in the second half, and DuPec defeated Fulton 38-24 on Friday night in Fulton. AJ Mulcahy had 189 yards rushing, including breakaway runs of 68, 39 and 29 yards. Trenton Taylor was a workhorse, with 124 yards on 25 carries. “We came out tonight knowing it was going to be a dog fight,” Mulcahy said. “I want to thank our boys up front. They made it a game. I can’t do anything without them.” Briaun Green, Jake Anderson and Drake Fortson were some of the linemen Mulcahy commended. In the fourth quarter, Du-Pec had a 12-yard touchdown run by Taylor with 7:42 left. Then Hunter Hoffman completed a 16-yard TD pass to Bo Seaton with 4:29 left to put the score out of reach. Fulton entered the game as the No. 4-ranked team in Class 1A. Du-Pec is expected to be a Class 3A school come playoff time. Fulton quarterback Patrick Lower Jr. started strong, hitting his first four completions. Then Du-Pec adjusted, and four of his next five passes were incomplete as he faced pressure. A lot of that pressure came from Green, a 245-pound junior, who got through Lower’s protection and forced him out of the pocket on several occasions. The third quarter ended with Du-Pec leading 24-17. DuPec took the opening drive 80 yards in 13 plays. Mulcahy carried it in from the 3 with 8:10 left in the first. Hoffman passed to Trent Hetland for the two-point conversion. “We got punched in the mouth early,” Fulton coach Patrick Lower said. “They came right at us. We made a couple of adjustments. Our kids did a nice job throughout after that, settling into the game.” Fulton answered with a big defensive play. Baylen Damhoff intercepted Hoffman at the Du-Pec 40 and returned it down the sideline for a touchdown at 4:51 of the first. Endi Qunaj had the kick for extra point. On a play from the Fulton 29, Mulcahy broke a tackle and skipped in to the end zone to put Du-Pec ahead 16-7 at 6:46 of the second, after
