Drive-In at OHS
OREGON GRADUATION Graduates reflect on year at “drive-in” ceremony
Commencement was held at dusk with a movie screen backdrop
BY EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@oglecountynews.com
An evening commencement, complete with videotaped messages, live streaming, and a “drive-in feel”, capped the end of the COVID-19 school year at Oregon High School on June 19.
Ninety three seniors and their families waited in or near their parked cars in the Blackhawk Center lot as they prepared to walk across an outdoor stage and pick up their diplomas.
“I know this isn’t the way you wanted it to go, but I don’t know, I think its kind of cool,” said Heidi Deininger, OHS principal, who opened the Elizabeth 8:30 p.m. ceremony. Villarreal “It’s momentous, its new, we’re doing the best we can, right?
“You finally got to this day. I know its be a long road, especially the past 65 days. We’ve all…,” Deininger said pausing, “we’ve all faced uncertainty, disappointment, worry and even fear. But you made it to this day to celebrate your achievements and your school career.
“Sorry it’s been hard on us too,” she continued, her voice breaking. “Each and everyone of you has accomplished something big or small while at OHS. Above all, I watched all of you persevere the last three months during some uncertain times.”
Karlie Hughes was one of three seniors who reflected on the school year during the hour-long event. She urged her classmates to face their challenges “head on”.
“The world you once knew has undergone some drastic changes,” she said via video. “Heck we are just now having our graduation ceremony—social distancing style. I’ve found focusing on the negatives in life will only hold you back. So, please focus on the good and keep pushing forward because you can do this. To the Class of 2020 remember serving and helping others gives us perspective and keeps us from getting caught up in ourselves.”
Lauren Montavon said the Class of 2020 made many “great memories over the years” despite the pandemic

taking away important senior milestones “like prom, the spring sports season and the last three months of school”.
Elizabeth Villarreal said the Class of 2020’s senior year was not one anyone expected.
“Instead of a year filled with joy and fun we got one filled with isolation and a cycle of injustice and violence,” she said. “Regardless of that we still managed to make it here today. Today is our day. We can finally make our mark and maybe an impact on our world.”
She said that while many may be unsure of what to do after high school, there were still many choices.
“The pandemic doesn’t make them any easier, but whatever choice you make I want you all to know that you shouldn’t be stressed because you are ready. Our class is resilient. You just have to be confident about your
life and yourself and own it. And if you are still unsure, then the fact that you survived about 3 months of glitchy Zoom classes is more than enough proof.
“This is no longer story of Class of 2020, but our own individual stories. From here on out its our time to shine and make our own decisions,” she continued. “This also means stepping up for what we each believe
in and making our voices heard. There’s a lot of negativity in our world, with the pandemic, the riots, and the horrific death of George Floyd, but now we’re at the point where we can make a difference. It there’s one thing the pandemic has taught us its not to live with regrets because as we now understand, our lives can change in a matter of seconds.”
DONATION Employees donate $35,000 to local food pantries
Employees at Exelon Generation’s Byron Generating Station recently set a goal to raise $25,000 for local food pantries to help families affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
The nuclear plant’s workers eclipsed that goal, raising $35,191 for 19 area food banks. Approximately half of the amount raised went to Northern Illinois Food Bank.
“Our essential workforce continues to safely generate carbon-free electricity for the region. But after seeing local job losses and a weakening economy, our employees wanted to do something positive for the region and beyond,” said Mark Kanavos, site vice president at Byron Generating Station. “We all know someone affected in some way by the coronavirus pandemic. Helping to fill food pantry shelves is just one way we can assist in this time of need.”
Byron Station’s employee resource groups (ERGs) also contributed funds from their respective committees, each of which has a specific focus area like military charity support, nuclear power education and employee goodwill.
“In these challenging days the donations received by Bread of Life Food Pantry and Soup Kitchen in Stillman Valley are making it possible to feed our neighbors in need,” said Bread of Life board member Alicia Lindholtz. “Exelon Generation has shown itself once again to be generous and community minded. We are very grateful for their support.”

Fans back on the field, this time for graduation
BY EARLEEN HINTON ehinton@oglecountynews.com
When the Polo Marcos football clinched a state final appearance in 8-man football last fall, no one foresaw parents and family members of Polo High School’s Class of 2020 back on the gridiron again, this time watching graduation from the 50-yard line while sitting in lawn chairs in the back of pick up trucks.
But that’s exactly what happened Sunday and this time all the fans of the Class of 2020 came in sedans, vans, pick up trucks, and even a couple of convertibles to watch the school’s commencement exercise.
In a shortened ceremony due to the pandemic, 34 graduates waited in the bleachers to cross a portable stage at mid-field.
Audrey Hess and Nicole Zeigler offered Senior Class Remarks and thanked everyone for attending the “unique ceremony to celebrate the Class of 2020”.
The pair thanked all the Polo teachers for their hard work. “We know that putting up with us for 4 years has not exactly been easy,” Hess said.
They said teachers surpassed normal duties to educate students during the pandemic.
“Not only did they make themselves available to us whenever we needed them, they spent hours filming their own lectures that made us feel like we were getting a classroom experience despite being confined to our homes,” Ziegler said. “Mr. Reece also made sure to include his joke of the day.”
“They also took a day out of their busy schedule to deliver yard signs and chat with each and every senior. None of their efforts have gone unappreciated,” she said.
Both thanked parents, family members, and the Polo community for supporting numerous extracurricular activities. “We know we can always rely on their unconditional support as we continue to learn and grow.”
They said growing up in such a “tightly knit community has allowed us to form many close friendships within our grade”.
“The Class of 2020 is one that sincerely understands what it means to be there for one another. Congratulations Class of 2020. It has been an honor to grow and graduate with you,” they said.
Remembering the women who have served our country
To the Editor:
In 1776, Abigail Adams wrote to her husband John, asking him and other members of the Continental Congress to “remember the ladies” as they legislated. They didn’t. A mere 100 years ago, our nation remembered the ladies, giving women the right to vote.
During this time of seismic shift in race relations, there is a major push to rename military bases because many are named after Confederates. Why not name some of them after females who have figured in our military history?
Col. Ruby Bradley was an Army nurse. When she was captured in the Philippines, she gave most of her rations to starving children and was liberated weighing 86 pounds. She went on to serve in Korea, retiring in 1958. She was one of the most decorated women in U.S. military history.
Dr. Mary Walker, who served during the Civil War, is the only female Medal of Honor recipient.
Spc. Lori Piestewa was the first Native American woman in history to die in combat and the first U.S. military woman killed in the Iraq War.
Brig. Gen. Anna Mae Hays, Army nurse, was promoted to brigadier general in 1970. She became the first woman in the history of the Army to attain the general rank.
Rear Adm. Alene B. Duerk was the first female admiral in the Navy.
Pvt. Cathay Williams was the first black woman to enlist in the U.S. Army and the only known female Buffalo soldier.
Col. Mary Halleren was a member of the first training class of the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps. She commanded the largest all-female unit to serve overseas. In 1948, as director of the Women’s Army Corps, she advocated for women to be integrated as regular members of the military beyond wartime.
Lt. Col. Marcella Hayes was the first black female pilot in the U.S. military.
I have not added our heroic Sen. Tammy Duckworth to this list. She has miles to go before her service to country is over, but keep her in mind.
Remember the ladies.

Disappointed in dog owner’s nonpayment
To the Editor:
Today we learned a lesson about honesty, accountability, trust, and lack of compassion for a sick animal.
On April 22, 2016, our mini Schnauzer was viciously attacked on our front porch by a pit bull mix. If my husband wouldn’t have heard me screaming we would have had to bury our beloved dog. Our dog was bleeding from some tooth punctures on his head. We had to get him to the closest vet immediately. Staples were needed to close the wounds. Animal control was called and he and the vet clinic unanimously agreed the owner of the attacking dog should be held responsible for the vet bill.
When we had to go to the vet clinic in July 2017 to pick up a prize, we found that she had not paid any of the bill. After confronting her about the bill, the dog owner said that she would take care of it. She paid $40.50 that month and another $20 in November 2017.
We went into the vet clinic that month and asked if she was paying the bill and the receptionist was very snippy with us and told us that yes, she is taking care of it. So we assumed she was paying it off in payments. Then she quit paying the bill with $80 remaining on it, which we just found out this past week.
Today our mini Schnauzer was sick. So I called the clinic and made an appointment. We were very happy when they said they had an opening, because our regular clinic in Dixon was booked. About 10 minutes later, they called and said we had an outstanding bill of $80 and they wouldn’t see him unless the bill was paid.
If she started paying Cody’s bill, why didn’t they bill her? She had accepted the responsibility of owing the bill. We feel Cody was held hostage for $80 that was not our responsibility. This was so wrong on every level.

STATE NEWS IDNR reminds people to leave black bear alone
Bruin spotted first in Iowa then in Henderson County in south-central Illinois
The message from Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) biologists and Conservation Police Officers (CPOs) is clear: Leave the black bear currently passing through western Illinois alone.
IDNR biologists and CPOs have been closely monitoring the bear since it crossed into Illinois from Wisconsin June 10. The bear then crossed into Iowa and came back into Illinois in southern Rock Island County June 18.
Since then, the bear has traveled through northwestern Illinois mostly not bothered until it passed through northwest Henderson County Father’s Day weekend, where more than 300 people gathered to view, follow and harass the bear.
It was last seen June 21 headed south toward Stronghurst in southern Henderson County, southwest of Monmouth.
“For the most part, we’ve not seen conflicts between the public and bear until recently and, unfortunately, those conflicts were caused entirely by people,” said Stefanie Fitzsimons, district wildlife biologist, IDNR. “It’s a novelty to see a bear in Illinois, and people want to see it for themselves, but they must remember that the outcome for this bear – whether IDNR must step in and take action to protect public safety – is completely dependent
Earleen Hinton/Shaw Media
This Ogle County Newspapers photo from June 2014 shows the small black bear as he looked down on the crowd that had formed after he climbed a tree southwest of Mt. Morris. The IDNR is reminding residents not to harass another black bear that was recently spotted in Iowa and Henderson County in Illinois.
on how the public react to it. If the bear is left alone, it can continue its journey safely on its own.”
Fitzsimons said the bear is likely just passing through the state looking for a mate and won’t stay long because Illinois doesn’t provide appropriate habitat for an animal that big.
The most important thing to remember if people spot the bear is that it’s a wild animal and should be treated as such. In fact, Fitzsimons added, people should stay at least 100 yards away from the bear and enjoy watching it from a distance.
“Certainly, the more pressure is put on the bear, the more likely we’ll see an adverse outcome,” said Captain Laura Petreikis, Illinois Conservation Police. “As is always the case, we want to ensure the safety of both people and animals. If we continue to see situations like we saw this past weekend, Conservation Police will issue tickets and make arrests to ensure the safety of both the public and the bear.”
A small black bear was spotted numerous times in Ogle County in June 2014 before moving on to Carroll County.
The 200-pound male bear spent several hours in and near Mt. Morris on June 18, 2014 in an oak tree a mile or so near M. Morris before lumbering off through a cornfield to the west in the early evening.
The bear sightings started early in the morning and was seen on a surveillance camera at Trinity Lutheran Church running through yards on the other side of Brayton Road.
Illinois once had thousands of black bears, but by the mid-1800s, settlers had killed them all for their meat and hides.

SUDOKU PUZZLE Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
