Covering will stay on statue

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Experts will begin testing repair mixtures on the Black Hawk Statue next week.

Project conservator Dr. Andrzej Dajnowski, from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park, said Tuesday that he expects to bring his crew to Lowden State Park on June 24 to test the material that will be injected into the cracks of the 104-yearold statue.

The testing will ensure the blend to fill the cracks will match the statue.

Dajnowski said the scaffolding surrounding the statue was recently beefed up in preparation for the work to begin.

The scaffolding put up several months ago provided only a framework for the protective winter wrap of green plastic mesh.

The cover will stay around the statue while it is repaired.

Dajnowski said he had originally planned to remove the cover when the work began but changed his mind.

“I discovered while it was raining that the cover keeps the rain out. It will keep the statue dry,” he said.

Flame of Hope Law enforcement officers step up for Special Olympics

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Local athletes received the send off of a lifetime last week when the Flame of Hope made its way through Oregon.

Individuals from the Village of Progress (VOP), including Special Olympic athletes, lined downtown Oregon to see the torch as it passed by June 10.

The torch, carried by law enforcement workers, was headed to Bloomington for the annual summer Special Olympics for track and field.

“This is the 29th year the Torch Run has been organized for Special Olympics,” said run leader Assistant Deputy Chief Patrick Hoey, of the Rockford Police Department.

First responders from the Oregon, Mt. Morris, and Byron Police Departments, and Ogle County Sheriff’s Department were participating in the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics “I am so proud of Sheriff (Brian) VanVickle to do their first ever Torch Run,” said Hoey. “We had a fantastic turnout today. It is fantastic seeing everyone in town.”

Along the route the officers participating in the run were greeted by athletes from the VOP and lots of heat and humidity.

“We are from the Village of Progress,” said Karen Kereven.

removed Board approves $15,283 proposal Tuesday night

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com

The Ogle County Board moved ahead Tuesday with plans to create more parking spaces near the judicial center in the next few months.

The board approved a resolution to accept a proposal for $15,283 from Stiles Inc., Loves Park, to remove five underground storage tanks on the county’s property at 501 W. Washington St., the corner of Washington and Fifth Streets.

Board member Don Griffin, who is coordinating Let Freedom Ring Queen candidates Paige Carlock and Cheyanne Terry fix plates for customers June the project, said he expects 14 at the annual queen’s cookout. The event raises funds for the queen pageant. Photo by Vinde Wells the project to be completed in time for the Autumn on Parade festival, scheduled for Oct. 3-4.

Board member Lee Meyers, Byron, questioned why the resolution appropriated $18,000 for project when Stiles’ bid was less than that.

Griffin said the extra money was allocated in case unexpected costs arise during the tank removal.

He said two of the tanks still have oil in them.

Board member Pat Saunders, Polo, said that the bid includes a price per yard to remove any contaminated soil from around the tanks.

The price will vary depending on how much is found.

Board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said the bid also includes a price per gallon to pump out the oil left in the tanks.

Neither amount can be determined, he said, until the excavation is underway.

The removal of the tanks is part of a three-phase project Oregon patrolman Matt Kalnins runs with members of the Oregon Police Department, Ogle County Sheriff’s that will likely take place Department, Byron Police Department, Mt. Morris Police Department and their family during the Law Enforcement over the next few years to remove the former Jackass Run for Special Olympics June 10.

Crash victim died June 13 from crash injuries An Oregon teen died June 13 from the injuries he suffered less than a week earlier in a one-vehicle crash.

Michael Stevens, 19, had been in intensive care at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford, since June 7 when he was critically injured.

He was a 2014 graduate of Oregon High School, where he was active in FFA, football, wrestling, and bass fishing.

He was a student at Rock Valley College and worked

at FN Smith, Oregon.

Stevens 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 crash occurred shortly after 8 a.m.

Police said Stevens was not wearing a seat belt.

Visitation will be held Thursday, June 18 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Farrell Holland Gale Funeral Home, Oregon.

The funeral is scheduled for Friday, June 19 at 11 a.m. at the Oregon Church of God. His obituary appears on B5.

Too much sales tax charged at one Oregon restaurant

Officials and store manager say a tax error occurred

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

Member of the American Optometric Association. Therapeutic Licensed.

Oregon officials and a store manager agree that a local restaurant was charging too much sales tax for several weeks, but no one can say how much extra money that amounted to.

Commissioner Jim Barnes brought the topic up June 9 at the Oregon City Council meeting.

He said a business, which he did not name, was charging 8.25 percent instead of the 7.25 percent that should have been collected.

The problem came to light when Oregon resident Doug Raney contacted Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan after he and his wife Darlene were overcharged 10 cents on a $10 purchase at Dairy Queen on May 1.

Their receipt showed that 83 cents was charged for tax instead of 73 cents.

Doug Raney said after the meeting that the amount could be “substantial.�

DeHaan told the council that he called the Internal Revenue

It took a week to talk to someone there.� “They [Dairy Queen] have been doing this two or three months,� Barnes said. “I think we should have our attorney send them a letter asking for an audit.�

Mayor Ken Williams said he will contact city attorney Paul Chadwick, who was not present during the meeting.

Neither Williams or DeHaan could say how much extra Dairy Queen may have collected because they aren’t sure how long the restaurant was overcharging.

During a phone interview before the meeting, DeHaan said the extra sales tax had been Turn to A3

Choristers create sign from donated bottle caps For the past few years, Trinity’s Choristers, an elementary school age singing group, have done projects for the Easter season.

This year, under the direction of parish musician Karen Larson, the group did a project that involved more members of the congregation and shared the joy of Easter beyond the walls of Trinity’s church building.

The bottle cap project started in November 2014, when children’s education coordinator Becky Lawson and Larson put out a plea for bottle caps.

The Choristers made drawings of butterflies in February.

After deciding which design to use, the 4 X 8 foot backing and adhesive were purchased at Menard’s.

During Lent, the

Choristers spent part of their rehearsals gluing bottle caps onto the design.

On Palm Sunday, the Sunday School kids finished up the project.

Dave Link engineered the stand to secure the project.

Arika Black designed the lettering for the Jesus Lives signs.

The butterfly project remained up throughout the Easter season.

Oregon business was charging too much sales tax From A2 added to bills for “maybe five months.”

Jane Sofolo, regional manager for Dairy Queen, said she believes the time is much shorter.

“It was only about six weeks that we were charging the wrong amount,” she said Tuesday.

DeHaan said he spoke with Sofolo and believes the overcharge was an inadvertant error.

“I contacted the

regional manager and they immediately changed it back,” he said. “It’s been fixed.”

The store will reimburse anyone who was overcharged, he said.

DeHaan said Sofolo told him the error started when a customer told the Oregon store manager earlier this year that the city had added a 1 percent sales tax in addition to the 1 percent that municipalities currently receive.

“They had, but it was

already being added in,” he said.

Oregon voters approved a 1 percent city sales tax (in addition to the 6.25 percent state sales tax already being charged) in November of 2012. The additional city tax went into effect on July 1, 2013.

DeHaan said Sofolo may have been confused because she manages Dairy Queens in several cities, all of which charge different sales tax rates.

Sofolo said Tuesday that

her accountant is handling the matter with the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR), which collects sales tax.

She did not say how much extra sales tax was collected, but said any excess money will go to the state.

“My accountant is handling that,” she said. “It was a computer glitch. As soon as someone brought it to my attention, we fixed it.”

Williams said June 9 that any extra sales tax money collected did not come to the

city.

“All sales tax is paid to the state, and the state pays our portion back to us,” he said. “If Dairy Queen was charging too much we wouldn’t have got any of that.”

Williams said the matter is between Dairy Queen and IDOR. “It’s not our area of enforcement.

That’s something for the Department of Revenue,” he said. “We tried to resolve it since we’re a small town.”

Barnes would like to see the difference in what should have been charged donated to Lifeline Food Pantry.

“It should go to a nonprofit,” he said at the meeting.

Williams and Doug Raney agreed.

“I like the idea of a food pantry,” Williams said.

“I hope they will give the money to the food pantry here in Oregon,” Raney said Tuesday.

By Karen Merlak It was so nice to see the sun today, even if it was short-lived.

With all the rain, I think my weeds are growing faster and stronger than any of the vegetables in my garden.

When it comes to gardening, I mostly leave it in God’s hands. He deserves our praise for all things.

This morning in church, we were greeted by Vicki Hay. Robert Toms read the story of the hymn, “Close to Thee.” Martha Johannsen read the scripture lesson before Pastor Gregg Downs gave the morning message.

On Saturday evening, several families from our church gathered to share in a picnic.

The rains held off until dessert. Everyone enjoyed the meal and fellowship.

Before the picnic, Don and Vicki Hay traveled

to Downers Grove for a graduation party for greatnephew, Ian Cates.

Last weekend, Sandra Ford traveled to Bloomington to celebrate a very special first birthday of her greatgranddaughter, Lilliana.

Sandra’s daughter, Crystal Patterson, her husband, Jack, their children, Kaitlyn, Hannah, and Samuel, and from Wheaton, Sandra’s daughter, Kim Austin, her husband, Ron, and their daughter, Leah, joined in the party.

After the party, the Austin family, Patterson family, and Sandra went to dinner at a local restaurant before the Austin’s headed home to Wheaton.

On Sunday morning, Sandra and the Patterson family attended church at Eastview Christian Church.

While there, Sandra visited with Tim Maxey, also from Pine Creek.

Over the first weekend in June, Janelle Riopell, daughter of Kent and Judy Nettz, walked in the Avon Walk for the Cure.

The course was a total of 39 miles with 26 completed

on Saturday and 13 on Sunday, starting at Soldier Field and ending at Wrigley Field and then back again, taking a shorter route.

On Sunday, Janelle’s mom, Judy Nettz, sister, Kelsi Jones, and niece, Maddi Jones, went into Chicago to celebrate with Janelle at the finish line.

Janelle did an amazing job and was able to raise money to help find a cure for cancer.

On Friday afternoon, I traveled to Springfield for the annual Illinois State P.E.O. convention. I took part in workshops and meetings with the highlight of the weekend being the Projects Dinner on Saturday night.

I returned home on Sunday afternoon. I met lots of wonderful ladies and some familiar faces, including, Ann Lawrence, mother of Lisa Coffman. Ann and I first met on a bus trip to Cottey College my junior year of high school. Our friendship continues still today.

While traveling on Interstate 55, I ran into a stretch of construction that brought traffic to a stop for

A local airman, stationed in western Australia, recently took part in recognizing the 100th Anniversary of ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day. U.S. Air Force Major James Hughes, the son of Thomas and Martha Hughes, rural Mt. Morris, is the commander of the Detachment 1, 2nd Weather Squadron, also known as Learmonth Solar Observatory, a joint operation between the Australian Ionospheric Prediction Service Radio and Space Services and the US Air Force.

It is located in the small town of Exmouth where the population is less than 2,500..

The U.S. Air Force’s weather mission takes a combined effort from airmen stationed across the globe, to include the remote observatory.

“Exmouth’s history is linked with the American presence here, since the

town was established and built to support the Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt,” said Hughes. “Even though the active duty U.S. Navy left in the early 90s, many people in town still look back fondly on the days when the Navy was here. Det 1, 2nd WS has been able to carry on a small bit of that positive U.S. military presence.”

Recently, members of Det. 1, 2nd WS, participated in recognizing the 100th Anniversary of ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day. “It was a great honor for the unit to play such an instrumental role in the ANZAC ceremonies,” Hughes said. “This is not just a token holiday here— people really are passionate about remembering the sacrifices of their forebears at Gallipoli.

We have Memorial Day in the U.S., but this is on a whole different level.”

ANZAC Day is recognized every year on April 25 and marks the first major military action fought by Australia and New Zealand during WWI at Gallipoli. It

Hughes took part by joining the reviewing party and singing the national anthem.

“Because of our remote location, I am actually the only military officer stationed in the Shire of Exmouth,” Hughes said. “Thus I carried on the tradition of joining the Shire President to form the reviewing party for the ANZAC day parade.”

Evening at the Mill has a Monet impersonator Lyle Grobe and the Rhythm Ramblers will perform Friday, June 19 at the Mt. Morris band shell. Pictured with Grobe (far right in the front row) are band members (not in order) Frank Evans, Dennis Milby. Marvin Kunde, Jim Miller, and Lisa Allen-Grobe. Photo supplied

The Franklin Grove Creek & Preservation Committee will hold an “Evening at the Mill” Dinner and Program on Saturday, June 27 at the Franklin Creek Grist Mill, 1893 Twist Road, Franklin Grove, within the Franklin Creek State Natural Area.

The program “Through the Eyes of Monet” presented

by Scott Shepherd will be a theatrical impersonation of Claude Monet, the daring

Free concert Friday night The sweet sounds emanating from the historic Mt. Morris Band Shell on Friday, June 19 will be courtesy of local legend Lyle Grobe and the Rhythm Ramblers.

The two-hour show starts at 7 p.m. and is free to the public with any donations being entirely optional.

This band, who has appeared during all three Friday Concert seasons, always has the crowds line-dancing on the grass to toe-tapping while sitting in lawn chairs and the new benches.

Lyle Grobe has been performing for many years starting in the early 1950s with two brothers, Harry and Richard Hackbarth.

They appeared at many shows in the Lee County area for years.

They began moving into the Ogle County area in the late 50s at venues such as Castle Rock Bar on Ill. 2 near Oregon.

Later on Grobe was a radio announcer for WIXN which is now River Country 101.7.

He then began an era in

his life being a night club owner when he owned and managed Skyline Lounge near Dixon.

During this time some of the current Rhythm Ramblers joined him.

Many years have come and gone and Grobe, still with the love of music, keeps the band going by having weekly band rehearsals in his garage both summer and winter.

Many a musician has stopped and “picked” a tune or two.

The lead guitarist in the band is Frank Evans, Sterling.

Evans was an important player in the Skyline days bringing his lead guitarist experience to the stage.

The drummer in the band, Dennis Milby, Sterling, has been with Grobe since the Skyline days also. Dennis Milby, comes from Sterling.

The bass player these days is none other than Marvin Kunde, who comes to the band with experience and a background that also put him in the radio field for a time also deejaying at WIXN back in the day.

Lisa Allen-Grobe, Sterling, is the female singer in the band. She brings to the stage the songs of Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, and other women of Country Music.

Jim Miller returns to the band after playing with them back in the ‘70s.

He brings keyboard, harmonica, banjo, and singing skills.

Concessions for the evening are provided by the Mt. Morris Senior Center, who will be serving hot dogs, chips, soda, water, ice cream, and Dilly Bars starting at 6 p.m.

Come to town early and have a look at all the good locally grown produce and other foods and crafts available at the Mt. Morris Community Farmers Market held in the bank parking lot at the corner of Ill. 64 and Wesley Avenue from 4 to 7 p.m. every Friday.

The rain location for the concert and concessions is the Mt. Morris Moose Lodge, on Moose Drive just off of East Hitt Street at the same times.

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.

The Ogle County Health Department and the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency will hold a meeting on Tuesday, June 30 to inform residents about volunteering with the agencies.

The meeting will be in the boardroom on the third floor of the Ogle County Courthouse, 105 S. Fifth St., Oregon, from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Information will be presented about volunteering in the area of emergency preparedness and response, an area that can improve response capabilities in times of public emergencies. When a disaster hits a community, fear can be overwhelming, not because there are not

enough resources, but because people do not know how to access those resources, according to studies by FEMA’s.

Members of the Ogle County Volunteer Corps will be trained in how and where to access those resources and will help in many different capacities in times of need.

Attendees will be encouraged to sign up and fill out a volunteer application while at the meeting.

According to the Commission of Volunteerism and Community Service, Illinois continues to hold the number one volunteer rate among America’s eight largest states.

As part of a community, we are to care for one another in

the community. Emergencies come unexpectedly such as the tornado that affected parts of the county in April.

With a volunteers corps, Ogle County will be better equipped to deal with the before, during, and after of any event.

Those interested must be at least 18 years of age, but no specific experience is required to participate in this opportunity.

Refreshments will be provided at the meeting.

For more information on emergency preparedness and response, call Joanie Padilla at the Ogle County Health Department by calling 815732-7330, extension 279. or log onto fema.gov for more tips.

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com

From fireworks to the grand parade, Polo’s Town & Country Days offers four days of old-fashioned family fun this weekend.

“Blast from the Past” is the theme of the festival which will be held Thursday, June 18 through Sunday, June 21.

Festival committee chairman Jon Miller said a variety of activities for all ages is the highlight of the event.

“We have great family entertainment,” he said.

Part of that entertainment was delayed by heavy rain early this week.

The Great American Shows carnival rides got stuck in the mud at Franklin Grove on Monday and arrived in Polo Tuesday afternoon, about a day later than planned.

Thanks to Tuesday’s sunshine and some heavy equipment, the show will go on as planned.

The carnival will open on Thursday at 5 p.m. and offer rides starting at noon the other three days of the festival.

Pheasants Forever takes kids on tour of Nachusa Grasslands Ogle County Pheasants Forever took a group of 21 kids and 11 adults to the Nachusa Grasslands June 6.

The Grasslands is a 3,500 acre enclosure prepared by the Nature Conservancy for habitat restoration through the use of the introduction of a specially selected herd of bison.

The tour and presentation was given by Cody Considine, a steward of the grasslands.

The group learned about the benefit this herd has to native grasslands and habitat and saw up close and personal more than three dozen adult bison and their newly born young.

Following that the group caravanned to Rock River Outfitters, the local sports shop located next to Oregon

Park East, for a presentation by owner O. K. Welty on how global warming may be changing the flight patterns of a large flock of more than 100 pelicans, and that it appears is impacting local river dynamics and fisheries.

Finally, the group enjoyed a hot dog roast in Oregon Park East.

The kids earned points by attending the tour (along with previously attended programs) and for cleaning up the litter and debris at the park which they can then later use to acquire sporting goods from Rock River Outfitters.

This was the group’s fifth program and some of the kids had already earned over $200 worth of points for redemption.

The next program will be

A bike rodeo challenged participants to test and prove their bike skills at eight different stations.

The stations included: Bike Inspection, Stretching, Arm Signals, Starts and Stops, Scanning, Rock Dodge, Demon Driveway, and Crazy Crossroads.

More than 70 kids with their families attended. The

first fifty riders received a free helmet courtesy of Etnyre Company, Gary Davis Country Financial and Oregon Park District.

The event was spear-headed by a group to educate the community on bicycle safety in memory of their friend Richard Esposito of Byron.

Radostits is one of 46 educators in the United States to earn the distinction.

The Emerging Leaders Program through ASCD recognizes educators across the country for their efforts and commitment to innovative teaching methods and prepares them to influence education programs, policy and practice throughout their careers.

OUTDOOR FUN

Thursday, June 18, 2015

Weather clears up for Slam n Jam The rain stopped long enough for the Oregon Park District to successfully host its 2015 Slam n Jam at Oregon Park West on June 13 and pay tribute to two residents killed in separate auto accidents.

The day-long event included softball and baseball games, a sand volleyball tournament, and other family fun events.

The day started at 9 a.m. with Coach Pitch teams playing each other followed

by Little League, Leon Gasmund, and softball games into the early afternoon.

The Miss Mal Sand Volleyball Tourney, played in memory of Malorie Ziegler, also started at 9 a.m. Ziegler, age 13, was killed in an auto accident in Dec. 1, 2007.

At 3 p.m., Oregon High School alumni squared off against a Celebrity Team comprised of local individuals representing businesses and organizations.

All games were played in memory of Joseph Kerwin III, a former park district employee and baseball fan who was killed in a Sept. 22, 2005 auto accident when he was 24.

“Joey was fixture out here at Oregon Park West,” said

park district commissioner Mark Tremble, who also served as the emcee for the celebrity game. “He would run back and forth between softball and baseball games.

“It’s been almost 10 years since Joey was taken from us in the accident,” continued Tremble. “Many of Joey’s relatives are here with us today as we pay tribute to him.”

Tremble said the tribute to Kerwin will be ongoing due to the facility building that was built in his memory.

“In the game of life we may feel that his was cut short by the accident, but he’s really right now playing extra innings,” Tremble said as he called for a moment Mark Wubben, vice president of Woods Equipment Company, stretches for an out as Lindsey Smidt, OHS Alumni of silence to honor Kerwin’s and Oregon Park District intern, tries to reach the bag during the Celebrity Softball match during Slam n Jam on memory.

for the annual Touch-a-Truck at the Blackhawk Center.

Displays from area businesses and organizations had vehicles on display for a hand’s on experience.

Fire departments from Oregon and Mt. Morris brought a pair of fire trucks to the event and the ATS ambulance was on site to allow kids to see how an ambulance saves lives.

The Oregon Police Department had a squad car on display and the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department had a Hummer and a newly acquired surplus military transport vehicle.

More commercial vehicles were also brought to the event.

Woods Equipment had a semi and trailer on display and Moring Disposal, Forreston, had a garbage truck kids could view.

Other vehicles on display included a group of new trucks from Kuhns Country, an Oregon School District bus, a golf cart, a flat bed tow truck, and a lawn mower.

On a lighter note, there was a display of parade cars brought by the Masons and the Fun Express Train to give young riders a tour in style.

Families were able to enter a raffle for a toy dump truck.

They were also able to register their kids into a database to allow police agencies to locate missing children.

The event was hosted by the Oregon Park District and was the lead in to Slam n Jam.

Oregon-Mt. Morris Beat

Heat, humidity fails to dampen Torch Run effort From A1 enforcement personnel carrying the torch.

Also with her to watch the run was her teammate Jake Kavala, who plays basketball and bowling.

“Bowling is more of a game of luck or chance,” said Kavala. “You have a chance of getting a strike. It also helps working with math and you can figure out.”

For one officer, participating in the run was especially touching.

Oregon Police Department Patrolman Matt Kalnins has a brother, Kenny, that has benefited from participating in Special Olympics.

“My brother was always a part of Special Olympics, Kenny. He used to participate every year,” said Kalnins.

“Kenny is a funny guy.

Special Olympics is a great cause and raises awareness for athletes.”

When Kalnins heard the Torch Run was going through Oregon he did not hesitate to volunteer to participate. “”It is special doing it here in town,” he said. “It will be a great time seeing everyone cheering us on. They are always very happy to see us and great people.”

The route began at the scenic pull off north of town across from Black Hawk Statue.

Daniel Daub, court security for the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department, was organizing the runners before they started on the route south to downtown Oregon and then east on Ill. 64 to Daysville Road.

“Everyone has a chance to carry the torch for a block,” said Daub. “This is the Flame of Hope and we are going to go at a slow pace.”

In downtown Oregon, the runners were greeted by a large group from the VOP. VOP Executive Director Brion Brooks, was thrilled to see the support the community continues to show for the athletes.

“It was very exciting for our individuals to participate today,” said Brooks. “It is heartening to see this local support.”

Twenty members of the VOP were in downtown to cheer on the runners and many had custom made signs.

“They created colored posters to show their support,” said Brooks. “It was a real celebration.”

The athletes look up to and Village of Progress athletes and their family cheer on the participants of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special respect law enforcement and Olympics June 10. Photo by Chris Johnson think of them as role models, he said.

“Our individuals enjoyed seeing the officers supporting them,” said Brooks. “They enjoyed the chance to interact with the officers.”

When the run was complete, the officers came back to town to spend time with the VOP athletes and individuals.

Three athletes from the VOP, Dusty Wetzel, Rachel Brooks, and Jacob Warner, went to Bloomington to compete in the Special Olympics June 12-13.

They were joined by Forreston athlete Owen Groshans.

Officials remind residents to stay safe around flood waters With more rain expected to fall later this week on already saturated ground, three state agencies are urging Illinois residents to stay safe around flood waters.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) issued a joint press release Tuesday outlining the dangers of flood waters.

In addition, IEMA conducted a conference call with local emergency managers throughout Illinois to coordinate preparedness efforts for potential river flooding.

IDOT is monitoring weather

conditions and will continue to respond as necessary to any flooding situations that may occur, the press release said.

IDOT is also urging motorists to be alert for the possibility of standing water on roads.

“It only takes a few moments for your vehicle to be swept away by flooding,” said Transportation Secretary Randy Blankenhorn. “If you come across a flooded section of road, turn around. Do not attempt to drive through flooded roads; it’s not worth the risk.”

Driving tips during flooding situations include: • Never attempt to drive through flooded roads.

• Even if a road covered by water seems shallow enough to cross, do not attempt to cross it.

• Seek higher ground if your vehicle stalls in a flooded area; do not attempt to push your vehicle out of the water.

IEMA Director James K. Joseph urges people to keep their children and themselves away from flood waters.

“Too often, we hear about children playing in flood waters being swept away by fast-moving currents, sometimes with tragic results” said Joseph. “Flood waters also may contain sewer overflows or harmful chemicals, so it’s particularly important to stay out of

flood waters.”

Additional flood safety tips include: • Avoid skin contact with sewer water, especially cuts and sores.

Keep them clean and covered.

• Do not eat or drink anything exposed to sewer water.

• Keep contaminated objects, water and hands away from mucous membranes (mouth, eyes and nose).

• Wash hands frequently, especially after bathroom use, before eating and immediately following contact with sewer water or contaminated objects or surfaces.

Joseph said anyone who experiences flooding in their

home should notify their insurance company.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) also is encouraging boaters to stay off the water when river levels rise.

“When rivers rise, conditions can be extremely hazardous to recreational boaters, and we strongly urge boaters to stay off the water,” said IDNR Director Wayne Rosenthal. “Submerged debris, strong currents and other dangerous conditions may exist.

Even the most experienced boaters can get into trouble in conditions like these.

Please play it safe and observe all river closures.”

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 pickup 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.

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.

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. These people should seek advice about Organic chemical contaminants, including drinking water from their health care providers. synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen by-products of industrial processes and petroleum the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other production, and can also come from gas stations, microbial contaminants are available from the Safe urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Source Water Information Source Water Name

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing.

We cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Source Water Assessment We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please feel welcome to attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. The source water assessment for our supply has been completed by the Illinois EPA. If you would like a copy of this information, please stop 815-732-7098

by City Hall or call our water operator at __________________.

To view a summary version of the completed Source Water Assessments, including: Importance of 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.

To 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 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.

CHILD CARE

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))

Don’t be afraid to take control of your future and forge your own path. You are so unique that following the crowd will not satisfy your curiosity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be placed in a vulnerable position if you give in to temptation. Compliments are always welcome, but they may hide an agenda. Consider the source.

nothing can stop you. Your hard work and dedication will pay handsomely.

Share your ideas and goals in order to receive insightful input.
