 Dutch Millers Spend Time in Fulton Fulton
Dutch millers, Andre Koopal and Christiaan Smit arrived in Fulton on July 25 for a two week work/visit with Fulton's volunteer millers and Friends of the Windmill. Koopal and Smit will conduct training sessions with Fulton's volunteer millers, work with junior millers, participate in round table brainstorming with local educators, and discuss volunteerism at Zaanse Schans, an open air museum.
Christiaan is an elementary school teacher in the Netherlands who also conducts junior miller workshops. Children from ages 9-14 meet weekly with him using hands-on construction activities connected to milling. Christiaan is also a volunteer miller at Het Pink, an oil mill, near the Zaan river. Andre is a Unix system administrator for a large telecom company and a volunteer at Het Pink and with TIMS, the International Molinological Society.
Midwestern cultural activities have been planned for the Dutch visitors and include a pontoon ride on the Mississippi, the river museum in Dubuque, the mills in Elmhurst, Batavia, and Pella, a Lumber Kings ball game in Clinton, and a final weekend in Chicago.
The Dutch millers will greet visitors with the Fulton millers at de Immigrant mornings July 27, 28, & 29 and afternoons July 31, August 1, & 4-6. Their flights were sponsored by Friends of the Windmill and Fulton's Volunteer Millers. They are houseguests for the two weeks at the home of a Fulton volunteer miller.

 On Thursday afternoon, July 8, 2010, Ronald H. Koehn will present a PowerPoint program entitled "Chief Black Hawk and His War" which will review the man and the war that bears his name and their legacy in American history. The program is scheduled for 5:30 PM at the Windmill Cultural Center located at the corner of 1st Street and 10th Avenue in Fulton. The public is invited to attend.
Just three years before John Baker founded Baker's Ferry, later renamed Fulton in honor of Robert Fulton of steamboat fame, a band of Sauk and Fox Indians under the leadership of Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kiakiak (or Black Sparrow Hawk) left imposed exile in the spring of 1832 in the Iowa Territory and returned to their homes across the Mississippi River in northwestern Illinois. These Native Americans had lost their tribal lands in Illinois in a disputed treaty negotiated by William Henry Harrison, a future president of the United States.
