MORRISON – The 153rd Whiteside County Fair opens Tuesday, Aug. 13, at the Whiteside County Fairgrounds in Morrison.
Events begin at 7 p.m. Aug. 13 with Next Level Pro-Bull Riding. Other events include the pleasure horse show at 9 a.m., open swine judging at noon and junior swine judging at 4:30 p.m. The kids’ tractor pedal pull starts at 2 p.m.
Next Level Pro-Bronc Riding is the main show at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14. This event will involve a rodeo participant riding a bucking horse (sometimes called a bronco) that tries to throw or buck off the rider before the eight seconds is up. Originally based on the necessary buck-breaking skills of a working cowboy, the event now is a highly stylized competition that uses horses that often are specially bred for strength, agility and bucking ability.
Other events during the day are the exhibition barrels that will start at 8 a.m. and Western horse speed events and dairy judging at 9 a.m.
At 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15, the grandstand entertainment will be Full Throttle Monster Trucks featuring the world-famous Bigfoot followed by a fireworks show. Other events that day will start at 9 a.m. with the beef cattle junior show judged in the beef show arena. The heavy horse hitches, including four horses, will be in front of the grandstand at 9 a.m. Heavy horse halter classes start at 1 p.m., also in front of the grandstand.
The Illini State Pullers Association will bring in its tractors and trucks for the tractor pull Friday, Aug. 16. The tractor pull starts at 6:30 p.m., right after the antique tractor parade at 5:30 p.m.
At 9 a.m. Aug. 16, the heavy horse hitch classes will be shown in front of the grandstands and the open beef show will be judged in the beef show arena. At 1 p.m.,
the heavy horses come back as they thunder in front of the grandstand to entertain with the six horse and unicorn hitches.
The demolition derby is at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17. The horses are at the post as harness racing is on the track at 1 p.m. Other events Saturday are the kids’ tractor pedal pull at 11 a.m. and woodcarving auction at 4 p.m.
The Mega Band is back again this year and the Wilson Family Show will entertain fairgoers with carnival and midway attractions. Patrons can ride unlimited rides every day of the fair for $60 (if bought in advance the week before the fair at the secretary’s office) or $70 during the fair.
The Granpa Cratchet Stage Show will return this year along with the bike giveaway each day of the fair and the cake/pie walk. Pony rides, a petting zoo, barnyard revue/pig races and camel rides will be at the fair every day.

FULTON – Wierenga’s Heritage Canyon recently hosted film crews for “My Heart Remembers,” a movie based on the book by Kim Vogel Sawyer.
Members of the Early American Crafters assisted with costuming, catering and served as extras for the crew as they filmed on a scorching hot day in July.
Co-producers Melissa and Melinda Meyers had been hoping to produce the film for years. Director Stephen Folker arranged to film in the canyon at 515 N. Fourth St. with the help of the Early American Crafters.
“We loved working with Stephen and we had lots of extras in the movie,” said Elizabeth Keller of the Early American Crafters, who are volunteers for the 1800s village. “I had three granddaughters in it and my daughter had a speaking role. Stephen contacted us to help with costuming.”
Over the course of the week, extras from the Early American Crafters assisted with the filming.
“This is our first movie, but we put on at least three major festivals during the year,” Keller said. “It’s an authentic 1870 village and the next festival is the first Saturday in October. We dress in period authentic clothes and we use the buildings as they would have been used in the past. Come visit us at the canyon.”
Folker said it can be difficult to get film projects going.
“My producing partner, Melinda Meyers, found the book a decade ago in a bookstore,” Folker said. “She really liked the book, connected with it and decided to contact the author in order to make a film out of it. The production hit a bit of a standstill and so Melinda connected with me over social media. At this point, I had put out a trailer for a thriller and Melinda found my work one day and we met for lunch to try and get the film going.”
Set in the early 1800s, the screenplay follows a girl named Isabell Stanler who is stripped of her inheritance. She goes to her fiancé for help, and when he discovers her disinheritance, he sends her away. She goes from a life of privilege to being destitute. It’s a story of discovery and redefining her process.
Folker is a filmmaker who wears many hats. He was born in Davenport, Iowa, and is based in the Quad Cities.
“When I go anywhere, I keep my eye out for Victorian houses or old cars and keep a mental note,” he said. “You never know when you might need something for a film. I’m pretty outgoing and I have no problem going up to someone and asking if we can film something in their yard.
would be perfect for the movie.
Mid-1800s-1954: The canyon was a limestone quarry where rock was crushed for field fertilizer, road beds, wing dams and levees. Trucks, trains and river barges hauled it away.
1954-1967: The quarry was abandoned in 1954 because dynamiting sound blasts were damaging both sides of the Mississippi River. The area became an eyesore to the community with its junk and dilapidated shacks.
1967-1999: In 1967, Harold and Thelma Wierenga bought the quarry. They converted the machine shop into a usable workshop and built their home on the site of the old rock crusher. They changed the quarry, keeping two goals in mind: preserve
“As far as my background goes, I’ve been making independent films since 2010. In the pandemic, I was hired by Iowa PBS and shortly later asked to film for new episodes for a true crime show called ‘Killer Cases,’ which is available on Hulu. I get hired to produce, or in this case co-produce, edit and direct the cinematography of films.
Midwestern history, emphasizing detail and authenticity, and disturb nature as little as possible as each building is added.
1999-present: After the passing of Harold Wierenga in January 1999, his daughter and son-in-law maintained the Canyon for several years. However, the volunteer task of maintaining the Canyon was simply too much for the couple. In October 2005, the city of Fulton was given ownership of Heritage Canyon. In October 2007, Thelma Wierenga passed away. A memorial for Harold and Thelma is on display near the entrance into the Canyon. The Canyon now is maintained by an on-site caretaker, a dedicated public works person and the Early American Crafters.
We have a really good crew and I like to support talent that would not usually get to work on major projects, though we have some bigger actors, too, like Julie Piekarski, who is featured in roles from shows like ‘Facts of Life’ and ‘Little House on the Prairie.’ ” Folker was familiar with Heritage Canyon and thought its unique features
“I’m also a full-time photographer, and as a filmmaker, I’m always on the lookout for new locations,” he said. “I’ve been to Heritage Canyon many times over the years and I always thought that it would be a good location for a film. It’s a little gem of a location, but that works to your advantage when filming. I connected with Mark and Tori Wade, who asked permission from the city to film there. It’s a great opportunity for the city. Eventually, when the film comes out and goes on the film festival circuit, it gets extra eyes on the location.”
Folker connected with Keller to have extras from the Early American Crafters be involved with the filming.
“When I was down at the canyon, I asked if they had reenactors who could come down. They said, ‘Oh, yeah’, and immediately I wanted their information. These people have costumes, they like putting on costumes and they’ll know how people walk and act during this time period,” Folker said. “These folks are troopers, too. On the first day of filming, I guarantee it had to be over 100 degrees. They were out in the sun

Asked how much filming still needs to be done and when the editors will take over the process, Folker said, “On this project, the co-producers are twins, Melissa and Melinda, who help with costuming, wardrobe, locations, food and script supervisor. Outside of that, I’m the filmographer, director, producer and editor. It’s very outside the norm to have the director fill as many hats.”
Folker said he was attracted to the story for a variety of reasons.
“It’s a little bit different. The book has a bit of faith-based elements, but when I read the script, I took away a very fun historical story. It’s a story of

discovery and a young woman redefining her life,” he said. “It’s a really good screenplay and I do think it’s a very good story. I thought it was a good period piece and as someone who grew up watching ‘Little House on the Prairie,’ it’s fun. When we’re filming without air conditioning and in costume I think it adds to the realism of the filming.
“If somebody is interested in acting or perhaps they have a project they’ve been hoping to get off the ground, hit me up. Maybe we can get something going. I also like it if they have a really cool location they want to tell me about. I think in order to support other artists and keep the arts alive, we have to keep making art. I think a lot of other artists get stagnant and hit these brick walls and give it up when in reality that’s when they should keep making as much art as possible.”

The main point of disagreement during a public meeting concerning the proposed Main Street improvements seemed to be whether to cover the bricks with asphalt. Everyone agreed the downtown business area should be made attractive to attract more businesses. The plan calls for the four blocks of bricks to be covered
with asphalt, the sewer, curbs and lighting to be revised, the one-way street to be changed to a two-way street and the diagonal parking to be changed to parallel. The cost of the project is $110,000, with $80,000 to be paid for with the motor fuel tax.
Countless truckloads of dirt were used to fill low areas in the 14th Avenue extension east of Route 84. The new roadway was placed just north of the Woody’s Rendezvous Supper Club. It will meet the blacktop road just west of the Baker Salvage Yard. Route 136 will remain closed from Chase Road east to Route 30. Route 136 is being joined with the extension of 14th Avenue just east of the Rendezvous Supper Club.

The heart has its own natural pacemaker that sometimes will break down. While this may happen at any age, it is more common in advancing age.
While we tend to think of the devices as being somewhat modern, the first pacemaker was employed in 1928. The first implantable pacemaker and first individual went through 26 devices during their lifetime and died at the age of 86.
Pacemakers have come a long way, but they still have the same basic function of trying to maintain an adequate heart rate because the native electricity has altered or blocked the current.
Modern pacemakers may be programmed by a cardiologist to get the

desired pacing rate for individuals. In some situations, a defibrillator is implanted, which helps to send a shock to the heart if the heart degenerates into a dangerous rhythm. Most basic pacemakers do not have this function.
Permanent pacemakers come in three basic types. The first type is the single chamber pacemaker in which there is only one lead into the single chamber of the heart, the upper atrium or lower ventricle.
The second type is the duo chamber pacemaker, which involves one lead each in the atrium and the ventricle. This helps to mimic the body’s natural pacing rhythm.
Finally, there is the rate responsive pacemaker, which adjusts to the patient’s physical activity according to

metabolic needs. Usually, the pacers are encased in titanium to avoid rejection of the body as well as to prevent leakage of bodily fluids into the area.
Another type of pacemaker known as the CRT (cardiac resynchronization therapy) may be used for heart failure patients when the efficiencies of their pump are not adequate.
All these types of pacemakers generally are inserted under local anesthetic through the veins using fluoroscopy.
Some pacemakers are on demand only; that is, they will not kick in unless there is a specific requirement by the body, which otherwise employs the natural rhythm.
Certain considerations need to be made for those wearing pacemakers, including avoiding activities where

magnetic fields are generated such as arc welding and MRI machines. Even some magnets and portable music players may impact the device when brought within an inch of the pacemaker.
Pacemakers do not seem to be affected by cellphones.
Further consideration is that a pacemaker may be shut off if the time has come for an individual when life is not considered meaningful and the pacemaker seems only to be keeping them alive.
By the same token, the fact that a person has a pacemaker only ensures that electricity will go. It does not correct the deficits in the vessels that can cause heart attacks and kill individuals or correct all the pump measures and muscle weakness of the heart.

Smoothies are a popular choice for meals and snacks. They can be made with many varieties of fruits, vegetables and liquids so there is a flavor profile to suit anyone’s taste.
Some people find them a more palatable way to increase their fruit and vegetable intake, and since they are generally blended and served in a cup to be consumed with a straw, they make a handy portable meal option. They’re also an option for people who have a difficult time chewing or otherwise need to be on a liquid diet.
But there is a downside to smoothies. If you’re not careful with the ingredients, they can be very calorie dense. And calories in liquid form can be problematic. Liquids don’t tend to satisfy us like solid foods, meaning
that you may find yourself feeling hungry again in a shorter time compared with eating a meal of solid food. Also, since your body digests liquids faster than solid foods it can pose a problem for people with blood sugar control issues.
Other issues have to do with the digestive process. Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth where enzymes in your saliva start to break down the food. Since smoothies don’t require chewing, they tend to bypass
that step in the process. Also, blending the fruits and vegetables breaks them down to the point where they are mostly digested in the upper intestine and don’t reach the large intestine where fiber affects your hunger and fullness mechanisms and feeds and maintains a healthy gut lining. I’m not saying you should never consume smoothies, but you may want to reserve them for occasional use. There are ways to improve the nutrition and digestive issues that accompany smoothies. One way is to make sure that you include a protein source such as milk or yogurt. Protein is more slowly digested so when you combine it with the other ingredients it can make the smoothie more satisfying. If you have blood sugar issues, limit the
fruit content to one serving and don’t use juice for the liquid. You also could try a smoothie “bowl” that uses a smoothie mixture as a base topped with granola, whole berries, nuts or seeds. This makes you slow down and chew so you will digest more slowly.
Making your own smoothies with fresh, whole ingredients is best. If you are buying a commercially prepared smoothie, make sure to read the ingredients carefully. You may find that they contain very little actual fruits or vegetables, too much added sugar and/or artificial flavors and preservatives.

ARC Morrison community blood program leader
MORRISON – The American Red Cross Morrison Community Blood Drive took place July 18 at the United Methodist Church.
The canteen sponsor was the UMC. We are grateful to them for helping out by feeding donors, ARC staff and volunteers.
Volunteers for the drive were Carole Patton, Jean Tichler, Mary Vos, Kathy Schoaf, Pat Bramm, Paula Stinson, Pat Popkin and Rick Barr. They bought, prepared and served sandwiches, goodies and drinks and escorted donors from the loungers after donations to the canteen table. Thank you for your generous gift of time and talent.
Kudos to Irma Russell, an ARC certified volunteer who ran the registration desk and made appointments for the next blood drive. The ARC had a technical difficulty getting computers and printers up and running for the blood drive, but we kept up with the flow of donors coming in the door and made a list of the order that they arrived.
The apologetic ARC staff finally began the drive before 1 p.m. and jumped into high gear, catching up by 2:30 p.m. and working 30 donors through the donating process in 90 minutes. The staff rocked. I gave them five stars on my post-drive survey.
We had 60 people (81% of the 74 who were scheduled) come through the doors to give blood products that save up to three lives.
Forty-two donors gave whole blood.

Julie Brown, Amy Oudekerk, Dennis Zickeert, Tim West, Joe R. Bielema, Jennifer Duncan and two people who did not want their names published.
There were two first-time donors –Billie Kaprelian and Pat Bramm. Thank you for joining the ranks of regular blood donors.
Thirteen donated double red cells/ power reds, which are equal to two units of packed red blood cells. They were Carole Newcomer, Larry Oudekerk, Vern Latwesen, Jack Jones, Larry Sonberg, Jim Fisher, Harvey “Bud” Tegeler, Dick Wieneke, Mark Zinnen, Mitchell Milnes, Jamie White, Jill Vegter and one person who did not want his name published. These 13 people have assisted more than 540 lives.
Penny Milnes and Nikki Strohmayer received one-gallon pins. Mitchell Milnes received a three-gallon pin. Naumie “Renee” Vanderlaan received an eight-gallon pin. Dick Wieneke received a 10-gallon pin. Mary Latwesen received a 13-gallon pin. Between these six people, 761 lives were saved.
There were seven cancellations and eight no-shows July 18. There were three walk-ins. The ARC goal for the day was 70 units and we acquired 68 for 97% efficiency. I personally like to meet or exceed our goal, which is how we have achieved Premier status in the past. This status means we obtain at least 30 units per drive, reach a certain percentage for the year and have firsttime donors come in and give.
I am very appreciative of the blood donors who are faithful and dependable to the ARC. I am aware that a competitor blood service is having drives within the Morrison community at three other churches, two schools, a bank and the hospital, which is fine with me personally. At least attendees are giving blood.
Three former ARC blood drive donors now give platelets out of town, which is great because patients also need platelets. It is not a competition for me. It’s all about helping patients who need transfusions, no matter which blood service provider you use.

MOUNT CARROLL – The classic board game Clue will be brought to life at Timber Lake Playhouse with “Clue: On Stage” through Aug. 11.
“Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie, which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, ‘Clue: On Stage’ is a hilarious farce meets murder mystery,” said Dan Danielowski, TLP executive director.
The tale begins at a remote mansion where six mysterious guests
assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Wadsworth, the butler, leads Miss Scarlet, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard on a race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. “Clue: On Stage” is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out Who did it, Where and with Whate.
Cody Jolly returns to the TLP stage as Wadsworth, the butler. The sus -
pects are portrayed by TLP Resident Company members Morgan Milone (Miss Scarlet), Sitare Sadeghi (Mrs. Peacock), Malaika Wanjiku (Mrs. White), Adam Brett (Colonel Mustard), Joshua Credle (Professor Plum) and Lucas Diego Marinetto (Mr. Green). Caroline Lynch Desmarais takes on the role of Yvette. Gabriela Hernandez and Kyle Ahmeer Bethea complete the ensemble.
“Clue: On Stage” is based on the Paramount Pictures motion picture based on the Hasbro board game Clue. It is adapted from the screenplay by
Jonathan Lynn, written by Sandy Rustin, with additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric Price. TLP’s production is directed by Cameron King. Costumes are by Nile Michelle, scenic design is by Spencer Donovan, sound design is by Rory Shea and lighting design is by Abi Farnsworth. Information and tickets for all Timber Lake events are available at timberlakeplayhouse.org or by calling the box office at 815-244-2035. The box office is open from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and through intermission on performance days.

STERLING – The Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce’s Professional Women’s Network Committee will hold a Lunch and Learn from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 28, at Champ Banquet, 11 E. Third St., Sterling.
“Let’s Get Motivated!” will be presented by Michelle French, a local
entrepreneur and owner of Lil Smoked Bar + Grill. The session will focus on wellness and organizational tips that lead to a more positive and productive life.
As a dietitian, French’s career has spanned more than 40 years with success in business and food service. She has consulted with diverse industries covering topics such as sales, customer service, staff motivation and employee wellness. She spent most of
her career working with large food-service distribution companies and has owned and operated a nutritional consulting business and several restaurants and catering businesses, including The Herb Garden in Rockford, Smoked On 3rd Restaurant & Catering in Sterling, and Lil Smoked Bar + Grill in Dixon.
As she enters semi-retirement, she hopes to revisit her presentation skills, focusing on providing helpful, enjoy-
able and motivating workshops infusing her humor and fun activities into actionable information.
Cost is $25 for SVACC members and $30 for nonchamber members. This includes training, lunch and networking with Sauk Valley-area professionals.
Register by Aug. 21 at saukvalleyareachamber.com/events or call the Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce at 815-625-2400.

We had only four deferrals out of 60 donators. That is 6.6%, which is not bad. ARC expects 7% to be deferred. Reasons for deferral were elevated blood pressure, low iron/hemoglobin and new cancer diagnoses.
To end on a positive note, we had no QNS units (quantity not sufficient) for the past two drives, meaning all units were “good to go” and did not clot or not completely fill the bag. This is very admirable and attests to the proficiency of the staff.
