Perfect weather to start festival

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com A variety of new and returning favorite games and competitions were some of the highlights during the annual Summer Daze festival.

A perfect evening with clear skies and pleasant temperatures June 5 kicked things off in Leaf River for the FFA Tractor Rodeo.

Competitors tried their hands at controlling their tractors in a variety of competitions.

Up first was the keg race. This required a keg be pushed by a tractor down a course then around a barrel before returning to the finish line.

“It is not to bad to push the keg,” said Josh Bolen, German Valley. “This year they added a turn. It used to be a straight shot.”

The turn proved to be the wrench in the competition that made the event difficult.

“Having to turn made it so you loose sight of the keg,” said Bolen. “Luckily we had people help keep the kegs on line.”

The turns were also difficult for Lee Miller, German Valley.

“The keg did not want to cooperate,” he said.

One competitor, Karl Meyer, Stillman Valley, was fortunate to not tip his tractor during the race.

He had his 1926 F12 on three wheels when he drove over the keg.

“I was going good but I lost it when I went over the keg,” Meyer said. “I have a narrow front end. I think this is more work than this tractor has done in 40 years.”

The F12 has been in Meyer’s family since it was purchased new by his greatgrandfather who was from Baileyville.

“The FFA helped restore this tractor in 2007 so it is fun to show it off at FFA

Oregon teen critical after Sunday morning crash An Oregon teen was critically injured in a onevehicle crash Sunday morning.

Michael Stevens, 19, was listed in critical condition Tuesday at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford.

He was air-lifted by React helicopter from the scene of the accident on South Watertown Road near the intersection with

Prairie Road approximately five miles southeast of Oregon.

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said Stevens was driving a pick-up truck north on South Watertown Road and failed to negotiate a curve.

The vehicle drove off the roadway into the left ditch and struck several trees and a creek embankment, coming to rest in

a cornfield.

The press release from the sheriff’s department did not indicate whether or not Stevens was wearing a seat belt.

Sheriff’s police along with the Oregon Fire Department and ambulance were called to the scene at 8:13 a.m.

The crash remains under investigation.

Challenging events held throughout Summer Daze From A1 events,” he said.

Times in the keg race went from a quick 47 seconds posted by Miller to 108 seconds.

In the keg race the quickest time was desired, however in the second event of the night, competitors wanted to be the slowest tractor.

The slowest tractor race pitted three tractors and their drivers against each other to finish a short course in the longest time possible while still keeping the tractor moving forward.

Miller joked that he left his championship tractor at home this year.

“Last year I had a creeper gear on my tractor,” he said.

“It went really, really slow.

It had a trencher on it. Now that was a slow race.”

He said this year he just had a regular tractor.

The races were slow, the first heat between Bolen, Meyer, and Dan Cox, Leaf River, lasted 50 seconds.

Competitors also competed in a trailer hitch competition where they tried to back the tractor up to a hitch without knocking a ball off that was balanced on the hitch.

The evening ended with the traditional fireworks show.

Saturday was another perfect day weather-wise for a festival.

Downtown was filled with people viewing the car show and playing games in the park.

The Leaf River Fire Department set up a new game this year for people to try.

Fire hose bowling is an event where people try and unroll a fire hose to knock down pins.

“I saw it on Facebook,” said firefighter Dave Borgmann. “Some other firefighters did it and I thought it looked cool.”

Picking up the wound hose and releasing it so the hose would unroll was the easy part. Getting the pins knocked down was the challenge.

“The challenge was hitting the pins, it acted like my bowling ball and wanted to curve to the right.,” said Borgmann. “First thing this morning I got a strike.

The assistant chief was my witness. After, I could not hit a thing.”

Firefighters spent the morning showing people how to throw the hose and allowed anyone who was interested a chance at playing.

Trying out the game, it was easy to see why it was hard to hit the pins. The hose would unwind fast but any throw that was off line does not recover like a bowling ball does at a bowling alley.

“It was fun and we had a lot of people stop by to try it,” Borgmann said.

The fire department also held a tug of war competition that put firefighters against kids. Dozens of kids tried to defeat two to five fireman in the contest.

They also held teams of kids against kids.

Meanwhile at the River Valley Complex, the tractor pulls were underway.

The antique tractor pulls started off the event and the pulls continued throughout the day into the evening with the Badger State Tractor Pulls.

In the antique tractor pulls, Kyle DeBoer, Baileyville, was keeping busy.

He was entered in multiple

classes with his Minneapolis Moline tractor.

In the 5100 pound class he hit 280 feet on his first pull but the distance was disallowed as some weights fell off the tractor.

He came back on the track for a second chance and hit 278 feet to win the class.

There was no rest for him as he was the first up in the 5600 pound class.

With only minutes between races DeBoer quickly added 500 pounds to his tractor to compete again.

In his first run at 5600, he posted a distance of 292 feet.

“I am used to lifting heavy weights,” he said.” I am a

logger.”

The weights used on the tractors range from 30 pounds to 150 pounds.

“You need the different weights to get to the maximum,” DeBoer said.

He said a tractor plus the rider need to weigh as close to the limit as possible to compete.

In the pits, DeBoer had a secret weapon.

His young daughter wanted to see him before each pull.

Ex-employee files suit against the City of Rochelle

By Christi Warren cwarren@saukvalley.com A former city human resources employee is suing the City of Rochelle, claiming she was fired for being a whistle-blower.

In a complaint filed in Ogle County Court in April, Lynette Fischer, who worked

for the city from 2007 until 2014, said City Manager Dave Plyman fired her after she disclosed examples of wrongdoing to City Council members.

Three times, once in June 2013, and twice in April 2014, she found that the conduct of, or statements made by, Plyman and

Dan Westin, a business and financial analyst for Rochelle Municipal Utilities, were false or unauthorized by the council, and therefore were illegal, she said in the suit.

When council members questioned Plyman, he retaliated by placing Fischer on unpaid administrative

leave, and then firing her, she said in her complaint.

She is seeking compensation for lost and futures wages and benefits, including her pension, and for attorney fees, as well as unspecified damages for emotional distress.

Thursday, Plyman dismissed Fischer’s claims as

“untrue.”

“The basis of her claim is that she was discharged because, apparently, she was claiming that I was retaliating against her because of comments she made to a city councilman,” he said in an interview.

When asked why she was fired, Plyman said “there

are multiple reasons,” and that “she was terminated for cause.”

He declined to comment further.

Neither Fischer nor her attorney were available for comment.

The case is next scheduled for a hearing June 19.

Animal control sponsoring a microchipping day June 20 Ogle County Animal Control will sponsor a microchipping day for pets on Saturday, June 20 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. at the Ogle County Health Department building, 907 W. Pines Rd., Oregon. No appointment is required.

The cost will be $20 per chip. The cost includes registration of the pet’s

chip with Home Again Pet Recovery Service.

The microchip, which is about the size of a grain of rice, is injected in the pet’s shoulder area, much like an inoculation.

The microchip contains information which gives authorities access to the owner’s name, address, and phone number.

The microchipping event is limited to dogs and cats only. Pet owners must be Ogle County residents.

Dog more than four months old must have a current rabies vaccination.

Microchipped dogs get a $5 discount on their rabies tag.

For more information call 815-732-1185.

VOP seeks day camp donations The Village of Progress will again conduct a series of day camp activities for disabled adults enrolled in their program and is seeking the public’s help with the cost.

The Day Camp Program allows VOP consumers to participate in a number of summer outings which may include activities such as fishing, boat rides, field trips, and cookouts.

For more than 40 years the summer camp offerings have provided our consumers

a social, recreational and learning opportunity not otherwise available to most of the individuals who participate.

Since VOP began services to Ogle County adults with developmental disabilities some form of a summer camp experience has been offered to the men and women enrolled in the programs.

In the 1970s and 80s VOP scheduled week long residential camps at Stronghold and LOMC. In the mid 1990s it

changed from a residential camp to a format offering day trip activities throughout the summer.

VOP is estimating the cost for this summer’s program at $65 per participant, and is requesting community support.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution is asked to mail their gift to the Village of Progress, Box 418, Oregon, IL, 61061.

Any contribution, regardless of the amount, will be appreciated.

hospice’s comfort-oriented care and services.

Bereavement care is a central component of hospice services. Grieving is a series of painful experiences into which one enters and lives for a period of time after the loss of a loved one. It may produce feelings of fear, anger, regret, guilt, loneliness, a sense of uselessness, helplessness, the inability to focus and occasionally a desire to die.

Each person grieves in his or her own way – that is the only “right” way. The crucial issue is to acknowledge that everyone has a right and a need to grieve.

African children’s choir to sing June 27 in Oregon The Watoto Children’s Choir traveling from Africa will present a brand new choir production titled “Oh What Love,” at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Oregon, on Saturday, June 27, at 5 p.m.

The tour began in Alabama on January 16 and will tour for six months visiting several states throughout the east central region of the U.S. concluding in Chicago.

Through this worship experience, the members of the Watoto Children’s Choir, who were once orphans, share their journeys to redemption and demonstrate that God desires to be a

loving father to all mankind.

All performances are free and open to the public.

Since 1994, Watoto Children’s Choirs have traveled all over the world sharing the plight of Africa’s orphaned children.

Each child in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both of their parents but they have been rescued and now live in a Watoto village.

Watoto is a holistic childcare solution initiated to serve the dire needs of Africa and her people.

“After losing my parents I felt alone, with no one to love me. Now I know that God is my father. He loves

me and cares for me. As I travel on the choir, I am going to show people that God loves them too,” says six-year-old Jackie Nakku.

The production is indicative of emerging, modern Africa - a continent coming out of ruin and exploring its true identity.

Africa is coming of age and so are her people. Her children and young adults are the key to the future.

“Oh What Love” has brought out the unique God-given talents of young Africans to express the hope and massive hearts of worship.

Almost 20 local Ugandan songwriters have contributed to crafting songs that share the stories of the orphan child and God’s love through worship.

Gary Skinner, Watoto Founder, said, “God’s heart for the marginalized is not just to see individuals rescued, but rather to see them thrive as their lives are transformed. The stories of the children are real and represent thousands who are experiencing this transformation.”

Based on the Bible verse 1 John 3:1 - “See what kind of love the father has given us, that we should be called

children of God, and so we are,” “Oh What Love” provides a unique worship experience that celebrates the urban African landscape and brings out the individual talents and charisma of the children.

In 1994, Watoto Church founded Watoto Child Care Ministry, Inc., an international holistic care program that was initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned and vulnerable children and women in Uganda.

It is positioned to rescue an individual, raise each one as a leader in their chosen

sphere of life so that they in turn will rebuild their nation.

The model involves physical care, medical intervention including HIV/ AIDS treatment, education - formal and vocational, counseling and emotional well-being as well as moral and spiritual discipleship.

Since 1994, the Watoto Children’s Choirs have toured the world annually as advocates for the 18 million African children currently orphaned by AIDS. ‘Concerts of Hope’ are held in churches, community halls, schools and other venues globally.

Softball action heats up following Memorial Day

By Larry Loomis

Henson singled to put runners on first and second with no outs. Natalie Boward walked to load the bases.

Zoie Sellers, who would go three for three, singled to score a pair of runs. Emily Boelens singled to score Sellers. A couple of stolen bases later, Boelens came home on a wild pitch to give Polo a 13-4 lead they would fashion into a 13-5 victory.

For the game, Byron had eight hits while Polo also collected eight hits with Sellers having three of those hits. Cassie Bushman went the distance to pick up the win.

Polo’s first win of the year in the Senior Division came on May 18 at Stillman Valley. Bushman again went the distance pitching a 17-0 shoutout.

Bushman also had an inside the park homerun when she drove a ball deep to the left field fence. Natalie Boward, Zoie Sellers, and Emily Boelens each had three hits in Polo’s 17 hit attack. With the win in Polo May 27, Polo is 2-0 on the young season.

May 27, Polo One of the Little Miss Division of the Carroll County League coached by Jeffrey Frey and Rebecca Marschang, opened their season with an 18-17 win over visiting Lanark Two. This game was not a pretty affair as neither team’s pitchers could find the plate and issued walk after walk for the abbreviated three inning game that took almost an hour and fortyfive minutes to play before Lanark conceded the victory.

Polo had just two hits all night as Avery Faivre had a single to score a pair of runs in the second inning

Following the Memorial Day observance, action resumed here May 27, when Pat Bushman’s and Darren Sellers’ Senior Division team hosted Byron.

Polo was coming off of a 17-0 victory over Stillman which will be covered later.

Polo wasted little time in getting on the board with four runs in the bottom of the first enroute to a 13-5 win.

Kaitlyn Marschang drew a leadoff walk and there followed two more base on balls to Amber Henson and Natalie Boward to fill the bases.

Byron’s pitcher struggled to find the plate and when she did Zoie Sellers blasted a double to right center to bring in two runs. Following an out, Boward moved to third.

Cassie Bushman drew a walk to fill the bases once again. Alexia Cox singled to bring in two more runs to give Polo a 4-0 lead after one.

In the second, Polo added three more runs to go up by a 7-0 margin. Cynthia Calderon drew a leadoff walk and following a pair of strikeouts, Amber Henson reached on a three base error allowing Calderon to score.

Boward drew a walk. Zoie Sellers came up and repeated her performance of the first inning when she drilled a double to right center again allowing Henson and Boward to score. After two complete innings, Polo was in command of the game.

Byron put together their only rally of the night with four runs in the top of the third. The guests were able to utilize a pair of walks, two singles and a double to pick up four runs to close to 7-4 through two and one half innings of play.

The hometown ladies got a solo run in the bottom of the third and put the game away with a five run outburst in the bottom of the fifth.

Alyssa Shore led off the inning with walk. Amber

while Aylvia Danekas had a first inning single. Polo, however, amassed twentyfour walks.

Gracen Pitts picked up the win. Lanark Two had four hits along with seventeen base-on balls.

With weather conditions being poor to bad for much of the week, two nights of action had to be cancelled with those games being played later in the season.

In one other game on the road, Keith Calderon’s and Ericka Cox’s Polo Two squad journeyed to Mt. Carroll for their Carroll County League opener in the Little Miss Division, May 28.

Polo did not score any runs in third with Blake and Spencer Scott both getting singles but unable to make it home.

The fourth inning Stillman added three more runs in the inning. The outs were two strikeouts by Bardell, and a passed ball and that Clark at catcher got to Bardell to get runner at home.

The fifth inning Stillman did not score. The outs were a strikeout from pitcher Gavin Zell, a play from second baseman Bardell to first baseman Blake, and a great throw from catcher Clark to Scott who was covering second base to get runner going to second base.

Clark tripled to start inning followed by a ground out from Bardell with a RBI. Scott doubled bringing in Daniel Engel who had walked. Blake Diehl singled, bringing in the final run of inning.

The sixth and final inning was a short one with two strikeouts by Zell and a catch at first base by Gunder. The final score was 17 to 10.

The second game of the week was held in Polo on June 4 against Byron. Byron got two runs in the first inning with the outs all coming from pitcher Parker Wolber.

finish out the scoring for inning.

The second inning Byron did not score. Wolber got a strikeout, threw a grounder to first baseman Gunder, and had help from his catcher Clark catching a foul tip.

Polo held Byron to no additional runs with two strikeouts by Wolber and a caught foul ball by Gunder at first base. Polo scored 13 runs offensively.

Kadin Marks and Tyler Merdian started inning with back-to-back triples, with Merdian getting a RBI, and stealing home for a run.

Ackins walked and also stole home for an additional run.

The majority of the inning were walks as polo went through batting order nearly twice. Kindle and Blake got singles in the inning with Gunder getting a double.

The additional runs batted in for the inning were awarded to Blake with two, Diehl, Scott, Marks, Merdian, Ackins, Dominguez, Zell, and Gunder with two.

On defense, Polo got their outs by a strikeout by Kindle, and two plays in a row with Merdian at third throwing out runners to first baseman Marks. Polo did not score in the inning.

The final inning saw Merdian with two strikeouts, and a final play of dropped third strike and runner made it to first with a missed catch and then threw out the runner from Byron trying to score. Final score was 21 to 5.

Quality pitching began game against Mt. Carroll From A1 The game proved to be a thriller as Polo did managed to prevail by a score of 8-4.

Both starting pitchers kept their opponents at bay for two innings as neither team could score.

Then, in the bottom of the third the hosts managed to

put a run across to take a 1-0 lead.

In the top of the fourth, Polo answered back with three runs. Mt. Carroll’s pitcher walked the bases full and then issued another free pass to force in a run as Polo tied the game.

Reylee Katner then had

a hit to bring in two more giving Polo a 3-1 lead midway through four.

Mt. Carroll, however, was not done as they grabbed a 4-3 lead heading into the final inning of regulation play.

The Polo ladies showed their metal when they struck for five runs in the top of the

! w Wo

sixth to take an 8-4 lead.

Bree Cox started the inning with a walk.

Molly Blum had a base hit. Elleanna Wells followed with another hit.

Courtney Bushman was hit by a pitch to force in Annalisse Stamm who had earlier walked. Reylee Katner

came up and lashed another hit to the outfield to score two more runs.

By the time the inning was over, Polo had put five on the board and grabbed an 8-4 lead. All Polo had to do was hold the hosts to less than four runs and the game was theirs.

Lindee Poper did just that as she came in and shutout Mt. Carroll out to give Polo an 8-4 win and give Polo Two their first victory of the season.

Polo collected four hits of the game, with Reylee Katner collecting two of those hits to pace the offense.

Grand Opening Jim Marrie of Kunes Country was grilling hot dogs and bratwurst June 5 to celebrate the grand opening of the Kunes Country dealership in Oregon. Photo

by Chris Johnson

The American Pickers television program is planning on traveling through Iowa and Illinois this summer and is looking for leads.

The show will be tentatively filming in Iowa for two weeks in July before heading to Illinois.

Cineflix, the producers of the show that airs on the History Channel, is looking for leads of possible picking locations.

Producers are looking for locations with interesting characters with interesting and unique items to possibly appear on American Pickers,

a documentary series that explores the world of antique picking.

The show follows Mike Wolfe of Antique Archeology, LeClaire, Iowa, and Frank Fritz, of Frank Fritz Finds, Savanna, as they go around the country and search through barns and homes looking for rare and unique items.

The team will film episodes of their hit series American Pickers throughout Illinois. Filming is scheduled for July and August.

Previously the show has visited Rockford and Polo among other locations throughout the country.

Some of what the show is looking for are vintage bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military

items, folk art, vintage musical equipment, vintage automotive items, early firefighting equipment, vintage clothing, pre-50’s western gear.

Currently, the picking team is not looking for farming or agriculture items, tools, glassware, appliances, tractors, crocks, or country primitives.

To apply for the show, send contact information about a personal collection and picking locations, email: your name, number, address and description of the collection and photos to americanpickers@cineflix. com or call 855-old-rust.

Referrals of leads for the show are also welcomed.

New episodes air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on History Channel.

SBA offers tornado victims low interest loans for rebuilding People and businesses in Ogle County and eight other northern Illinois counties are now eligible to apply for low-interest, long-term loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration

(SBA) to help them recover from the April 9 tornado.

Governor Bruce Rauner submitted a request May 29 for SBA assistance after officials from the SBA, Illinois Emergency

Management Agency (IEMA) and local losses.

“The SBA declaration will bring much-needed help to people and businesses still trying to recover from the tornado,” Rauner said.

“While this disaster didn’t rise to the level needed to seek federal assistance through FEMA, we’re able to offer these programs to assist communities as they work toward recovery.”

Anyone affected by the April 9 tornadoes in Ogle County and the contiguous counties of Boone, DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle, Lee, McHenry, and Winnebago is now eligible to apply for a

Thursday June 11, 2015 Comparing yourself to others is a waste of time and energy. You have abilities, ideas and talents that you need to develop and master. Highlight what you do have to offer and others will take note. Self-confidence comes from doing what you do best.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will face an unpleasant consequence if people feel that you have been misleading.

Before you convince others to join your mission, check your facts and leave no room for error.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Think before you speak. Your heightened emotions will cause you to overreact. There is no need to be defensive if no one is threatening you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your charming ways and humorous mood will have people flocking to your side. Accept as many social invitations as you can handle. A change of fortune is imminent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Before you sign up for a loan or make a major purchase, you should do a realistic assessment of your financial status. Consult a banking or investment adviser,

if necessary, in order to clarify your position.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You may be overwhelmed by the demands being put on you.

Don’t spread yourself too thin.

It’s perfectly fine to say no. Take care of your needs first and don’t feel guilty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Surround yourself with positive, upbeat people. Good moods are contagious, and you will feel your stress falling away once you loosen up. An intriguing partnership is on the horizon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be self-aware. If your instincts tell you something is not right, listen to them. Scam artists are very convincing, and if you fall for a sales pitch, you will have regrets.
