Little Miss and Mister German Valley 2018 crowned Valuable members of community recognized

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com German Valley Days rang in once again with a miniature coronation and a celebration of community members.

It might be hard to believe another year has passed already, but it was hard to ignore after seeing little Xariyn Goddeke and Joseph Kearns take the evening stage on June 8 to talk about their year in review as 2017’s Little Miss and Mister German Valley.

Last year, the pair agreed they couldn’t wait to ride through the grand parade that Sunday, a joy which would now go to two star kids from the pool of 14.

This year’s emcee was Hanna Kasten, a teacher at Forrestville Valley schools, and she had the honor of briefly interviewing each little guy and gal about their favorite summer activities, future dreams, and their families.

After the interviews, the kids cleared the stage for a dance number, choreographed

by Courtney Flemming and Lacey Politsch, followed by a pop quiz round where kids were challenged to identify the

meanings of traffic light colors, correlate holidays with their themes, and even a little bit of mathematics.

The crowd loved every entrant, but in the end, only two could be crowned, and the crowns of Little Miss and Mister went to Kaleb Bergin and Lily Zipse.

The judges, Chantel Hielkema, RaeAnn Moser, and 2017 Stevenson County Fair Queen Emmy Kubatzke, look for not just that signature “cuteness factor,” but also in who exudes confidence, since the pair will appear at public events.

“I didn’t know I was going to win, but I’m happy,” said Lily, basking in hugs and high fives from family.

Kaleb took time out of his newfound celebrity status to say “it feels good” to win Little Mister German Valley.

Miniature royalty was not the only thing celebrated that night, however. Donna Smith, as always, presented German Valley’s MVP, distinguishing a member of the public for the value they’ve left upon the community.

This year’s winner was Marge Denekas, and Smith was not short on praise for her.

Smith noted that although Denekas grew up in the Austinville area of Iowa, she made German Valley her home for 66 years when she married her husband, Gerald.

“She has given countless

German Valley Days didn’t just crown a Little Miss and Mister, it recognized the contributions of more than one citizen.

hours of time and service to the German Valley community,” said Smith.

Smith cited her 20 years of mentoring kids in the German Valley Grade School, as well as service in teaching Sunday school and being a youth group sponsor at Silver Creek Reformed Church.

Atop of those duties in the church, she served as a member of the King’s Daughters Society, Women’s Guild, and the Reformed Church Women, as well as acting as janitor of the church with Gerald for 40 years.

“Most importantly, she is the foundation of the entire Denekas clan,” Smith said,

referencing her six children, 18 grandchildren, and 23 greatgrandkids, for a total of 62 family members.

In the face of all the praise, Denekas could only say one thing: “I was without words, but it feels very good.”

Before the winners of the bucket of junk contest were

announced, as well as the “Match the Jury” game show, one more recognition was given, this time for a recently deceased member of the community who brought a lot of service and value to German Valley: Larry Stein.

Ag teacher hangs up his hat after 37 years in classroom

By Zach Arbogast zarbogast@oglecounty news.com A Forreston educator will hand over the reigns after nearly four decades of teaching.

Robert Nelson, 59, has served Forrestville Valley’s education system for 37 years, and officially retired with the close of the 2017-2018 school year.

How is settling down after all of that? If you ask Nelson, it has its ups and downs.

“There are so many different responsibilities, different groups of people with different personalities, and advancements in your teaching field,” Nelson said, reflecting on decades of teaching at several different schools. “Education is a longterm thing, and a lot of people don’t realize that. I will miss parts of it, yes, but other parts, I welcome the break.”

It might be the first real break Nelson’s received since the early 1980s. After graduating from ISU with a degree in Ag Business, he began working for Prairieland FS, Inc., Jacksonville, but quickly found himself unhappy

with the work.

After a short visit home to see friends and academic advisors from ISU, he was presented with the possibility of teaching agriculture.

With a provisional teaching certificate, he began teaching at Saybrook-Arrowsmith High School, Saybrook, in the fall of 1981, moving to Leaf River in 1983.

Nelson finished his masters and certification in 1986, but was subject to a reductionin-force when Leaf River was annexed into Forrestville Valley in 1989.

He spent the next year teaching at Hiawatha High School, Kirkland, while getting certified to teach elementary school.

He exercised his recall rights after certification and rejoined Forrestville Valley as Leaf River’s fifth grade teacher, until the school was closed in 2004.

Nelson moved over to German Valley Grade School as fifth grade teacher, until being approached by FHS Principal Travis Heinz in 2010.

“I’d heard a rumor in the weeks leading up that I was going to be asked, and all I

In This Week’s Edition...

could say was ‘there’s no way they want an old dog like me,’” said Nelson. “But, he came, and he said ‘we’d like to move you to the high school,’ and the rest is history.”

The jump from grade school back to high school seemed daunting for Nelson at first, he remarked.

“Ag had changed so much in 20 years, and the FFA itself changed as well - it even had a different name back then,” he said. “Elementary is just a different animal than high school, or even junior high. I had to adjust to that.”

In his adventures through the school system, Nelson said he valued the relationships he built most of all.

“The relationships I’ve built with students, families, the alumni, other staff members… that’s my favorite part,” he said.

Those relationships often spanned two generations of students, the tail-end of his career being spent teaching the children of some of his past students. However, the teaching experience may have evolved in between those generations.

Nelson said he and his wife,

Airport offers flight training

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A Polo pilot is hoping to bring awareness to the Ogle County Airport and the flight training it offers.

“Our main goal is to let people know we’re here and get them interested in flying. We want to get the next generation of barn stormers out there,” said TJ Graden, who owns Graden Aviation, which is headquartered at the airport.

The airport, located on Ill. 64 between Mt. Morris and Oregon, is well-known for its fly-in, drive-in breakfasts and also hosts other events, all open to the public.

Last year, Graden said, the Ogle County Pilots, Inc., the group of shareholders that owns the facility, put in a

concrete patio with comfortable furniture and a fire pit to encourage area residents and visitors to come out and watch the planes take off and land on the grass runway.

“We want people to come out and watch the planes. They can even have a picnic,” he said with a grin.

Graden also hopes to interest more people, especially youth, in learning to fly.

Along with crop dusting, his company offers flight training in two of the planes he owns — a bright yellow Aeronica Champ and a Cessna 150.

Gerry Hough, of Mt. Morris, is the flight instructor, and Graden is working toward getting his instructor’s credentials as well.

Along with the Rock River Flyers, a flying club composed

Sheriff’s Arrests, B2 Social News, A4 State’s Attorney, B4

of area pilots, Graden sponsors the Young Eagles program for kids ages 8 to 17.

The program offers youths basic flight instruction and familiarizes them with airplanes and what it takes to be a pilot.

Graden said the number of pilots has diminished in recent years and a future shortage is predicted.

“Our goal now is to get the next generation up and flying,” he said. “In the Young Eagles, kids study aviation and go up with the flight instructor. They get to take the controls for a little bit.”

Pilots must be at least 16 years old to be licensed.

Lessons are also available for adults and are offered in onehour sessions on a pay as-yougo basis.

FHS ag teacher retires From A1 Terri, a home economics teacher he met at Leaf River before the annexation, reminisced about their education experiences.

“We both agreed that if we went back, we’d certainly do it different,” he said.

“Different,” for Nelson, meant hanging up the “stand and lecture” style of teaching, and moving onto fun, engaging, hands-on activities.

“Every kid learns differently,” said Nelson. “Some learn auditorily, some are kinesthetic, some learn visually - that was always my way of learning - and I tried to keep that in mind.”

Not for nothing, Nelson also added he himself needs to have

fun.

“I just can’t do things without having fun, and whether that’s good or bad, I applied it to my teaching,” Nelson said.

Not just his teaching, either; students who traveled with Nelson through the ag program have no shortage of stories of adventures he would take the kids on, whether it was laser tag, the Wisconsin Dells, or just some good, fun meals on the road.

“We once went to a state convention in Springfield, with flood-level rain, and the kids just really wanted to go to a driving range,” he said, laughing. “It was a total lake; the only thing above the water were the tees, but they had a great time hitting the balls

into the water.”

Kelley Koester, of River Ridge High School, will be taking the reigns as ag teacher for Forreston High School, but that doesn’t mean lemonade and hammocks for Nelson.

“I’ve still got gas in the tank,” he said. “For that matter, there’s still work to be done, and I’ll be helping Kelley all that I can during the transition period.”

For now, though, Nelson is simply appreciative for the time with the school.

“The board, administration, FFA and alumni, were, and have always been, so very supportive,” Forreston High School agriculture teacher Robert Nelson is retiring after 37 years of Nelson said. “Every school has teaching.

State may force Ogle County to change workforce district

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Ogle County may be forced by state officials to join a Local Workforce Innovation Area it already rejected.

County board chairman Kim Gouker said he is concerned about the impact the change could have on local job seekers.

He was contacted in early May by Illinois Workforce Innovation Board officials who informed him that the county is out of compliance because the LWIA of which it is a member does not match its Economic Development District.

Ogle County is currently part of a LWIA that includes JoDaviess, Carroll, Whiteside, Lee, Bureau, LaSalle, and

GV Lions charter member honored during GV Days From A1 Stein, who died April 12, was a charter member of the German Valley Lions Club, a member of the GV United Methodist Church, and a volunteer firefighter for 25 years.

His wife, Shirley, along with several family members, accepted a posthumous Lions of Illinois Foundation Fellowship on his behalf.

“Larry loved German Valley; he loved everyone here,” said Stein.

“And, if you knew Larry, and you had about a half hour, he had a story for you — he never had a short story.”

Stein concluded that it is said that when a butterfly comes to you, it’s a visit from someone in heaven — and if that’s true, Larry was with her just moments before accepting the fellowship.

Fellowships are presented when a participating Lions Club donated $500 to the LIF, which goes towards services for the visually and hearing impaired.

The Ogle County Airport, started in the 1970s, was named Airport of the Year in 2007 by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

It boasts a well-maintained 2,640-foot runway that is 200 feet wide and 14 hangars, with plans to build more.

Graden said the OCPI is continually upgrading the airport facilities. All the hangars have concrete floors and restrooms.

“In the old days, we had gravel floors and tin sheds,” he said with a chuckle.

U.S. Dept. of Labor says Ogle County is not in compliance From A2 The state governor has the responsibility to designate and re-designate LWIAs that administer public workforce programs.

Ogle is one of five Illinois counties determined by Department of Labor officials to be out of compliance.

In 2010, Gouker said Ogle County rejected the LWIA that included Winnebago, Stephenson, and Boone

Counties. and instead chose to join the current one.

The law was revised in the last couple of years, he said, to require LWIAs to match the Economic Development Districts.

“The crux of it was we didn’t want to get thrown in with these [Winnebago, Stephenson, and Boone] counties because they aren’t the same as we are,” Gouker said. “They all have large metropolitan areas and we don’t. We chose not to join

with them.”

However, the county remains in the state-mandated Economic Development District with Winnebago, Stephenson, and Boone, and that, state officials say, cannot continue.

Their solution is for Ogle to change LWIAs. Gouker, however, disagreed.

He said a better solution is for the state to change the Economic Development District map to coincide with

LWIAs. “I’m saying change the Economic Development maps,” he said.

In fact, he recommended that to state officials but got no response.

Gouker said Ogle County’s population, demographics, and large rural area are more compatible with the other members of the eight-county LWIA it currently belongs to.

It also already has other relationships with counties in that LWIA. For example, Ogle, Lee, and Whiteside are in the same Regional Office of Education, and Ogle and Lee are partners in an Enterprise Zone, where they are promoting economic development.

“We’re a much more rural county. In reality and

compatibility we need to stay where we are,” Gouker said.

In addition, he said, significant time, planning, and money have gone into getting the current LWIA working effectively.

The purpose of the LWIA is to retrain displaced workers and provide other services for individuals, including youths, looking for work.

Programs in Ogle County’s LWIA are operated by BEST, Inc., a LaSalle firm, with offices in Oregon and other cities within the LWIA. Gouker said that if Ogle County is forced to change LWIAs, the Oregon office will be moved to Belvidere.

“We have only 20 percent of our total workforce that works in Boone, Winnebago and Stephenson counties,”

he said.“We have 60 percent of our workforce that lives and works in Ogle County.

So, to change our workforce services due to the 20 percent that works in the other LWIA district, is not fair to the 80 percent who do not work there, especially if our displaced workers would need to go to Belvidere to receive their services that are available now here in Ogle County.”

Gouker and BEST, Inc. representatives met with Illinois Workforce Innovation Board officials on May 16 to make the case for keeping the county where it is.

The final decision must be made by the governor by June 30. The state board has asked the Department of Labor for a one-year extension.

Farm succession workshop July 16

Indigenous people of Illinois to be the topic at June 19 lecture The Byron Forest Preserve District will host a special Illinois bicentennial lecture “At the Center of Everything: The Power of Indigenous Illinois in Early America” by Bob Morrissey of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign on Tuesday, June 19.

The lecture will start at 7 p.m. at the Jarrett Prairie Center Museum in Byron.

The Native people of Illinois are not often regarded as key actors in early American history. In traditional tellings, they are frequently cast as desperate victims, beleaguered peoples whose challenges in the face of colonization were so great as to reduce them quickly to a status of dependency.

Historian Bob Morrissey will tell a new and different story about the Illinois Indians in the colonial period.

He will explain how they exploited special opportunities made possible by their location to build power and exercise enormous influence not just in their region, but throughout the Great Lakes and Plains and even in the European power centers of Quebec, Louisiana,

and Charleston.

“By showing Native peoples’ decisions and actions, this presentation will complicate our understanding of the early history of the state and region, challenging tired stereotypes,” said Mark Herman, superintendent of education for the forest preserve.

“More importantly, it will examine why the Illinois Country – and particularly the tallgrass prairie environment that the Illinois occupied in the colonial period – was such an important place in early Bob Morrissey will speak at the Jarrett Prairie Center Museum on Tuesday, June 19 starting at 7 p.m. Photo supplied America,” he said.

Polo’ One’s pitching had problems finding the plate and issued five walks two of which found April Calderon and Ella McFalls scoring to get their team within two at 4-2 after three innings.

The fourth and fifth innings were all Polo One as Polo Two’s pitching went south surrendering six runs in both the fourth and fifth innings.

Polo One was the recipient of a dozen walks sandwiched around a Cheyeana Wilkens’ single.

With one down, Emmalee Gilbert drove a shot into left

field to score two.

Leah Calderon walked to once again fill the bases.

Queckboerner walked to bring in another run to give Polo the lead at 12-9 after three.

Three walks, a hit batsman and a single by April Calderon accounted for four more runs to give the hometown ladies a 16-9 lead.

Forreston picked up a pair of runs in the fifth as time ran out finding Polo Two prevailing by a 16-11 margin.

Source of Drinking Water

OREGON IL1410400 Annual Water Quality Report for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2017 This report is intended to provide you with important information about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water system to provide safe drinking water.

The source of drinking water used by OREGON is Ground Water

Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

For more information regarding this report contact: Name Phone

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from water runoff, and residential uses. infections.

To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of 815-732-7098 Source Water; Susceptibility to Contamination Determination; and documentation/recommendation of Source Water Protection Efforts, you may access the Illinois EPA website at http://www.epa.state.il.us/cgi-bin/wp/swap-fact-sheets.pl.

Source of Water: OREGONTo determine Oregon's susceptibility to groundwater contamination, information obtained during a Well Site Survey performed by the Illinois Rural Water Association on October 20, 1998 was reviewed. Based on this information, several potential sources of contamination were identified within proximity of this water supply's wells. The Illinois EPA does not consider the city's source water susceptible to contamination. This determination is based on a number of criteria including: monitoring conducted at the wells; monitoring conducted at the entry point to the distribution system; and the available hydrogeologic data on the wells. In anticipation of the U.S. EPA's proposed Ground Water Rule, the Illinois EPA has determined that the water supply is not vulnerable to viral contamination. This determination is based upon the completed evaluation of the following criteria during the Vulnerability 2017 Regulated Contaminants Detected Waiver Process: the community's wells are properly constructed with sound integrity and proper site conditions; a hydrogeologic barrier exists that should prevent pathogen movement; all potential routes and sanitary defects have been mitigated such that the source water is adequately protected; monitoring data did not indicate a history of disease outbreak; and a sanitary survey of the water supply did not indicate a viral contamination threat. Because the community's wells are constructed in a confined aquifer, which should minimize the movement of pathogens into the wells, well hydraulics were not considered to be a significant factor in the vulnerability determination. Hence, well hydraulics were not evaluated for this groundwater supply.

512

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is lispecifically censed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))
