Board discusses ways to improve village ordinances

By Vinde Wells Editor

“We’re probably going to have to assess some fines before people are going to take it Village ordinances need SERIOUSLY vˆ some revamping, according to Mary Francis one village board member.

Village Trustee “I think we have to come up with a better system,� said village trustee Mary Francis Tuesday night. “And then we have to enforce it.�

Francis said that at the request of Village President Dan Elsasser, she recently took a look at some of the village ordinances.

For some the penalties for violators are too harsh, she said, while others have no penalties at all.

The matter came up she said because of two swimming pools which do not comply with village ordinances.

Francis said that as she looked into those violations, she discovered others.

Some pools are built too close to property lines, some are not surrounded by the required fences, and some are

not properly permitted. “Then I looked at the penalties, and there aren’t any,� she said.

On the other hand, she said, residents who leave garbage in their yards can be fined as much as $500 per day. “For lack of another word, that’s draconian,� she said.

Francis suggested consulting Police Chief Jason White and Clerk Paula Diehl for their suggestions about reasonable penalties and how to enforce them.

One problem she said is that in many cases, the village has no penalty for persons who do not get building and other types of permits before starting projects.

Trustee Phil LaBash said properly issued permits can

head off a variety of problems, especially with construction.

Many residents may be unaware of what the village’s ordinances require, Francis said.

Trustee Jon Murray said more burden needs to be placed on landlords to properly educate their tenants.

Francis said the village needs someone to follow up when violations are discovered to make sure they are corrected. “We’re probably going to have to assess some fines Immanuel Arellano, age 7, Mt. Morris, reacts after having his hand painted while before people are going to take decorating a tipi canvas at Oregon Trail Days on July 19. Photo by Earleen Hinton it seriously,� she said.

Elsasser agreed that enforcement is the key. “If we’re not going to enforce our ordinances, we might as well throw the book out the window,� he said.

Prep work begins at Black Hawk; still waiting for state approval

By Vinde Wells Editor Although the project has not been officially approved, preparatory work started last week to repair the Black Hawk statue.

A crew from Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Forest Park, put up a fence around the 103-year-

old concrete landmark at Lowden State Park near Oregon, and removed bushes and limestone blocks surrounding the statue’s base. “We’re getting ready to put some scaffolding up and to do some mock-ups,� said Frank Rausa, Sterling, a volunteer who is spear-heading the repair effort.

He said the limestone

blocks, which were not a part of the statue’s original pedestal, will be saved and probably re-used when the repairs are completed.

Once the scaffolding is in place, Rausa said, a team of experts will begin doing “mock-ups� or testing various mixtures of concrete and other materials to see which one will work the best

to restore the areas of the statue damaged by time and weather. “Four to six recipes will be applied to the statue, and that will take about a month to cure,� He said. “Then they will determine which blend will be the best match and go from there.�

For actual repair work to begin, two state agencies

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to all Native Americans, the statue draws thousands of visitors each year.

Testing and evaluations done recently showed that three areas of the statue are in dire need of repairs.

Prep work begins on Black Hawk From A1 project manager and a preservation materials engineer with Thornton Tomasetti; said the folded arms of the statue, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe are the critical areas.

The areas are spalled, meaning chunks of concrete have already fallen out, and delineated, meaning areas of concrete are loose and ready to fall.

The repair work could begin as early as next month.

“We’re pleased to be started, and with a minor miracle, it might be done by October,” Rausa said.

Once the repairs are completed, a re-dedication ceremony will be held.

Rausa said the ceremony may be timed to coincide with the original dedication of the statue, which took place on July 1, 1911.

In the meantime, he said, fundraising efforts will continue.

So far, approximately $725,000 has been raised toward the repairs. Rausa said that is likely 80 percent of what will be needed.

Nearly half the money already raised for the project came from the $350,000 state grant.

The rest came from donations, including $50,000 from the Oregon Trails Days festival.

A large contributor was the Jeffris Family Foundation, Janesville, Wis., which gave a $150,000 matching grant.

The Chicago Black Hawks hockey team got on board with what Rausa said is a sizable donation, although he declined to specify how much.

To donate, checks can be made out to the Illinois Conservation Foundation and marked for the Black Hawk Statue.

Donations can be mailed to Illinois Conservation Foundation, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL 62702.

New street lights to go up in downtown Mt. Morris Submitted by Jerry Stauffer Mt. Morris Planning Commission

Downtown Mt. Morris will be receiving a new street lighting facelift.

The village board, with the recommendation of the village Planning Commission, voted to replace the aging downtown street lighting.

The present lighting is about 70 years old, and the light fixtures are approximately 55 to 60 years old.

No parts are available for repairs. The overhead wiring is losing its insulation, causing short circuits when it’s windy or raining, knocking out the entire system.

The new lighting project has been in consideration for more than nine years, and will finally become reality.

This new lighting will consist of all underground wiring, decorative poles, supporting a vintage-style acorn fixture.

The lighting uses LED technology, drastically reducing utility costs.

Maintenance costs should be minimal, thus an additional saving for the village.

The new street lighting project goes hand-in-hand with the enhancements of the band shell area last year.

Activities on the campus are drawing nice crowds for concerts on Wednesday and Friday nights, along with

other events.

Improvements to the downtown area can only help attract new events and business interests.

Construction will begin soon with the installation of the underground wiring and foundations for the new poles.

By the time this work is completed, the new poles and fixtures will be ready to be installed, which will have been shipped from the manufacturer in Roselle.

It is anticipated the new lighting will be fully operational early fall of this year.

At the completion of the project, an official dedication ceremony, celebrating the new lighting, will be held on the campus.

The cost is just under $250,000 and was included in the 2014-15 village budget.

An energy grant has been applied for to help cover the cost.

Friends celebrate Jacobs’ graduation Submitted by Rick Ryland Seven young women, all raised in Oregon, travelled to Bradley University this spring.

Knowing each other all their lives through their assembly, The Church of Jesus Christ Forever, the seven “sisters” headed south to attend the graduation of their youngest “sister.”

Jasmine Jacobs, the daughter of Eric and Jacqueline Jacobs (OHS ’76 and ’77), proudly walked to the podium at the Peoria Civic Center May 17 to receive her bachelor of science degree in Health Science from the dean of Bradley University.

Upon receiving her diploma, her family and “sisters” went crazy!

After a devastating set back and seven long years of intense study, “Little Sis” was graduating cum laude – with honors.

Because of a diagnosis of scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis (severe curvature of the spine) and necessary surgery in the summer after her freshman year at Oregon High School, Jasmine elected to be home-schooled.

But here – at Bradley she was graduating with distinction as her excited family and “sisters” cheered her on.

Then something else happened, the honors graduate received the notice she was hoping for: “Rush University of Chicago accepts Ms. Jasmine Jacobs into their master’s program in Health Systems Management.”

With that official

statement, Jasmine became one of only 24 students that this university accepts per academic year — another celebration.

Two of her church family “sisters” are also celebrating.

They are Abbey Miller (OHS ’02) and Joy Ryland (OHS ’03).

Both will be attending medical school in the fall: Abbey to the University of Illinois in Champaign and Joy to Midwestern University in Downers Grove.

Abbey, already holding a Master of Public Health degree, Phi Kappa Phi, from the University of California San Bernardino, will be part of the Illinois Rural Medicine program.

Joy, currently a paramedic with the Mt. Morris Fire Protection District and holding a bachelor of science in Biology from Illinois Wesleyan University, will be attending one of the oldest and most renowned osteopathic institutions in the nation.

Michelle Ryland (OHS ’05), Joy’s sister (both are daughters of Rick and Laurie Ryland, Oregon), holds a master of architecture degree from the University of Illinois.

An high honors graduate, Michelle currently works in Chicago for the architecture and engineering firm of Klein & Hoffman.

She is one year away from professional licensure.

Marcy Morris (homeschooled ‘04), daughter of the late Donald and Candy Morris, is in completion of her associates of applied sciences.

Her future plans consist of a move to the Hawaiian Islands where nine of her church family reside. She will be living in Kailua, Oahu where her pastor, Rev. Kale Aluli, grew up.

She will complete her bachelor’s degree education on the windward side of the island.

June Jacobs (OHS ’03), sister to Jasmine, is the first

member of her family to receive a bachelor’s degree.

A graduate of Northern Illinois University (Class of 2008), June is the manager and activity coordinator for the Pinecrest Grove Community Center in Mt. Morris.

Erika James (OHS ’02), twin sister to Abbey and daughter of Ruth and Dwight Miller (MMHS ’71), holds a bachelor of arts degree in Interior Design from Chicago’s Harrington College of Design. Erika, who also graduated with honors, is the owner of her interior design company, Profile 1 Designs.

Jessica Jacobs-Throw (OHS ’99), real sister to Jasmine (and June), is parttime employed as a certified nurse’s aide at Pinecrest Manor.

A full-time mother, her dream is to complete her education in fine arts. She has been with Pinecrest for 14 years.

4-H Youth learn cooking from student teachers +ITCHEN SKILLS were taught

University of Illinois %XTENSION AND THE 2OCHELLE 3CHOOL $ISTRICT COLLABORATED to offer 4-H Food Smart Families Summer Cooking School.

The program was part of the Summer HUB project for students in third through fifth grades.

4-H members were recruited by 4-H staff to serve as “Teen Teachers� for this program. They learned how to create simple and nutritious recipes that youth could make on their own with little to no assistance.

In order to prepare for the program, the 4-H Teens went through three trainings with %XTENSION STAFF The first training was with *OHNNA *ENNINGS ( 9OUTH $EVELOPMENT EDUCATOR

who reviewed program EXPECTATIONS BEST PRACTICES for being a teen teacher.

The second training was basic nutrition education and curriculum review with Sue Buntjer, Illinois nutrition education program educator.

The final training gave the teens the opportunity to show what they had learned and receive feedback from Jennings and Buntjer.

Teen leaders who participated were Jordan Mingus, Megan Ackland, AND +AITLYN !CKLAND

of Ogle County Clovers ( #LUB .ATHAN +EYS and Jacob Myroth of Hub

Hickory Nuts 4-H Club; and Jacob Ebens and Johnathan Prose of Carefree 4-H Club.

Each day participants learned valuable nutrition lessons encouraging them to eat healthy snacks and meals. Students created healthy snacks while they learned important math and reading skills as they followed recipes and measured ingredients.

Children also learned about food safety, meal planning, and knife skills. “This was a wonderful EXPERIENCE ) ENJOYED SEEING the smiles on the kids’ faces as they prepared their very own food, Buntjer said. “When children grow into adulthood, they eventually have to rely on themselves for everything, including COOKING +NOWING HOW TO cook wholesome food is a great way to combat obesity and unhealthy habits. “This program helped the kids learn about nutrition and making healthy choices in a fun, interactive way.�

At the end of each day, participants were able to enjoy all of their hard work in the kitchen by eating their freshly prepared snacks.

They enjoyed creating shamrock shakes, trying their hand at making salsa and tortilla chips, and they learned the fine art of crafting pop-overs. “This is a great program that teaches youth how to make healthy nutritious snacks, and allows them

to try some new foods and recipes, Jennings said. “What is also another neat benefit of the program is that we have teen 4-H leaders teaching the lessons to the participants. The participants learn new things and our teens get to enhance their leadership skills. It is a win – win situation.�

This program was made possible through a grant funded by ConAgra.

University of Illinois %XTENSION WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE participants with hands-on LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND cooking utensils and fresh produce to take home.

Video gaming approved in unincorporated areas

By Vinde Wells Editor Video gaming is now allowed in the unincorporated areas of Ogle County.

Reversing its stance from a year ago, the county board voted 17-5 on July 15 to allow video gaming at the 14 establishments that hold county liquor licenses.

Board member Greg Sparrow, Rochelle, said the county board’s decision last year put rural establishments at a disadvantage because municipalities in the county had approved video gaming.

“All this will do is level the playing field,” he said.

Board member Dick Petrizzo, Monroe Center, said he was surprised to see

how much revenue is coming in from the gaming machines.

“In my little corner of the world, it looks like people are spending about $200,000 per year on these machines,” he said. “It’s a staggering amount. I’m sorry to see that.”

Board chairman Kim Gouker said the county’s ordinance stipulates that

at least 65 percent of an establishment’s income must come from non-gaming income.

Proceeds from the machines are split between the bar owner, the company that provides the machines, the state, and the city or county.

The money is collected by the state which then

distributes it.

The city or county gets 5 percent, the state gets 25 percent, the machine provider and establishment each get 35 percent.

The Illinois Video Gaming Act enacted in 2009 legalizes the use of video gaming terminals in certain establishments that hold liquor licenses.

Voting against the video gaming ordinance were board members, Lyle Hopkins, Polo, Dan Janes, Stillman Valley, Patricia Nordman, Oregon, Zach Oltmanns, Stillman Valley, and Ashley Simms, Rochelle.

In related action, the board reduced the number of available liquor licenses from 20 to 15.

Teams needed for Barnyard Olympics at Ogle County Fair Teams are being sought to participate in a new event at this year’s Ogle County Fair.

Barnyard Olympics ‘14, sponsored by the fair board and Ogle County 4-H, will be held on Sunday, Aug. 3 from

1 to 3 p.m. in front of the grandstand at the fairgrounds, rain or shine. Team check-in is at 12:30 p.m.

Teams, comprised of four people, will play a maximum of six games each.

Since games may be wet and messy, participants are urged to dress accordingly.

Each game will be timed, and cash prizes will be awarded to the top teams.

Top teams will be determined

by the lowest overall times.

Age divisions are: Division 1, ages 8-11; Division 2, ages 12-14; Division 3, ages 1519; and Division 4, 20 and older.

The age of the team’s

oldest participant determines the team’s division.

The event will be limited to the first 24 teams to enter.

The deadline to register is Friday, Aug. 1. The participation fee is $10 per

team.

For registration forms and more information call the Ogle County Fair office at 815-732-6962 or the Ogle County Extension office at 815-732-2191.

Sinnissippi Centers dedicates new Oregon office

By Chris Johnson Reporter A new era in mental health has arrived in Oregon with the opening of the new 6,400 square foot Sinnissippi Centers facility at 100 Jefferson.

Community leaders, Sinnissippi staff and board members, and Oregon Chamber of Commerce representatives gathered for a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony July 17.

The building was dedicated in honor of Chester D. Kobel.

“One of the failings of older people is they tend to reminisce a lot,” said Kobel.

“I am just as guilty as the rest of them.”

Kobel became associated with Sinnissippi in the 1970s when Al Graph was the executive director. Kobel joined the board in 1974.

“One of the greatest volunteers that ever lived was from Ogle County,” said Kobel. “August Hanke lived in Mt. Morris and he was instrumental in everything that happened in mental health in those days. Just a wonderful man and I dearly miss him.”

Kobel went on to talk about Ray Price, a man who worked hard every day.

“In those days he kept Sinnissippi going all by himself,” said Kobel. “On occasion he invested his own money in the facility when things were tough. For a long long time it was called the Ray Price foundation.”

Another director Kobel worked with was Lloyd Sidwell.

“Lloyd was the most

innovative and far thinking person I ever knew,” said Kobel. “He created all the entities that make up the Sinnissippi family. He also hired Jim Sarver and the chief financial officer.”

Sarver became the director when Sidwell left.

“He did a wonderful job maintaining and enhancing all that was there before,” said Kobel. “We were truly blessed with great leaders. Through it all, the one constant thing, Larry Prindaville, now entering his 43rd year and has been a part of everything.”

He pointed out Prindaville, Sinnissippi Centers’ Vice President/Chief Administrative Officer, so everyone gathered could acknowledge him.

“Now we more into another era. Patrick Phelan has taken over and is going to run it,” said Kobel. “The future of Sinnissippi is bright. This is a wonderful facility. I am so proud of this honor I can not even tell you how I feel about it.”

Kobel was presented a plaque that stated the building was dedicated in his honor by Phelan, Sinnissippi Centers’ current President and CEO. “The board started talking about building this building and in who’s honor they might dedicate this building,” said Phelan. “I was told there was only one name that came to mind. This gentleman served on the board nearly 40 years. It is dedicated to Chester Kobel. Thank you for joining us. You can’t underestimate how much he meant to our agency.”

Phelan said he had to ask

Sinnissippi staff, board members, and representatives from the Oregon Chamber of Commerce and community gathered for a ribbon cutting July 17 for the new building. Photo by Chris Johnson

others about Kobel so he had stories and words to share about him.

“He has seen all of our buildings built. All of our apartments,” said Phelan.

“His involvement has been fantastic. One of the things that I have to thank him for is he was the first to bring lunch to our meetings. Thank you so much for everything you have done.”

The site of the new building was the 11th site evaluated over the past 10 years.

“This was the 11th site,” Phelan said. “Finally, last June about a week after I arrived we signed the paperwork on the property.”

Seeing the new building open is an accomplishment Phelan will remember.

“I have been with Sinnissipipi just over a year,” he said. “This is thrilling.

We have had a focus on improving our offices long before I ever came. Oregon was the last. It has been 10 or 12 years in the making.

Class of 74 to hold reunion

The Oregon High School Class of 1974 will hold its 40th reunion Aug. 1-3.

Contact information is still needed for Class of 1974 members Rob Hammerman, Kathy (Coy) York, Becky Miller, Ron Neve, Jim O’Connor, Jack Osminkowski, and Bill Rauch. Anyone with information about these classmates is asked to contact Kaufman.

We finally get to open the new office. This a day a lot of people thought would never come.”

The building allows the clients to have a better experience when seeking treatment.

“We want the clients to have a positive experience, to feel valued, and to feel like it is a warm and receiving place, to not be stigmatized,” said Phelan. “A nice new facility does that.”

The new facility has all the offices in one location with better lighting, wider hallways, and completely handicapped accessible.

“The old building was a maze and we were patching offices together,” said Phelan.

“Here, we have the space we need for now and to grow in the future.”

Eight staff work full time in the Oregon office with part time staff at the office when needed.

with some heavy duty equipment and dodging golf balls from some of the Sunset faithful insisting that they tee it up over R.E.’s personnel and equipment, we now have a filled in ravine and we’re out of danger of losing mowing equipment of golf carts.

To top off R.E.’s day or two at Sunset we had them spread ground up blacktop chips from the pathway of holes number 6 to the blacktop on number 7 (Nevie Lane) and all around number 7 green.

It looks beautiful, less dust flies, and will last much longer than the pea gravel paths that were replaced. And for a very reasonable fee I might add.

While it was a cool May Saturday we had over 30 golfers participate and a great time was had by all.

All of the winners donated their winnings back to the course which was greatly appreciated.

May can be a tricky month weather-wise and since we got a late start this spring the Blind Mice event really helped.

Thanks for putting this together, Jeff. When you are traveling thru Polo and feel a little thirsty, stop and see Jeff and his crew. It’s a great place to meet good people.

June was also a huge.

Sunset hosted the first day of the two-day Three Rivers Tournament.

The Three Rivers event consists of teams from Sunset, Mt. Morris, Prairie Ridge Morrison, Prophetstown, Wyaton Hills, Princeton, Emerald Hills, Sterling, Erie Country Club and Valley View, Cambridge, Congratulations, Sunset for bringing home the First Place trophy.

The first annual Scott David Rudolph Scramble was a resounding success. The event filled up quickly.

This event provides scholarships to Oregon High School male and female athletes who compete in both basketball and track.

What a great day it was for Scott’s friends and family and all who participated.

I’m sure that Scott and several other Fallen Mounders had a great time watching

Remember when we fired up the old charcoal grill on Thursday night and anyone that wanted to stay and eat could bring their own meat?

Well during the month of August we’re going to light up the grill each Thursday night.

Bring your own choice of meat and keep it in our refrigerator. If you want a potato and a side plus garlic toast, pay us an extra $5.00.

We hope to see you out there.

Summer is going way too quickly.

Attention Members – Our

fairway Wood’s Mower has finally seen its last fairway.

Students who are unable to attend either of the dates listed above, can call KSB Corporate Health Services at 815-284-5719 to schedule an appointment at the facility in Dixon.

When making an appointment in Dixon, callers should identify themselves as students at Oregon High School. A receipt of payment must be shown at the Dixon office.

All payments must be made at the Blackhawk Center Athletic office. In

order to conduct the testing at either site a parent consent form must be presented at the time of the testing. Students cannot be tested without the official parent consent form.

Consent forms may be found on the school website listed below.

Every student in grades 6-12 planning to participate in athletics within the Oregon School District must have a current physical, concussion form, and the consent/ registration form on file in the office before they will be allowed to practice.

These forms can be turned into the office at DLR Jr. High for junior high students or Blackhawk Center for high school students at any time before the first practice of the athlete’s first sport.

Sports physicals are good for one calendar year, at which time they must be renewed. Any fees required and completion of the preparticipation drug test will be due before the first competition, game, race, match, etc.

Information on forms and fees will also be found on the website, www.ocusd.net.

story, or text, or picture) that supports your ideas.”

If students are making inferences they’ll need to look back in the text and be able to show the clues used to make those decisions.

Students often make predictions as they read.

They are then encouraged to read a bit further and go back in the text and check your prediction.

They will also be asked to look at the text for evidence of the ideas that led them to make those predictions.

The idea of citing evidence is to create engaged readers who closely read whatever text is required.

We want our students to think when they read and to use what is written to shape their thinking.

When we have conversations about what our children and grandchildren read we can support the idea of citing evidence by getting in the habit of helping them, or asking them to look back in the text to find the evidence for what they think.

Reading Matters Common Core requires some familiar tasks

By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist

This column continues a series that looks at some of the terms and tasks associated with work our students are doing in order to meet the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

As we try to better understand the goals set

out for our children’s and grandchildren’s literacy learning, this month we will look at the idea of citing evidence.

The Common Core State Standards include familiar tasks such as asking and answering questions about texts, determining themes, describing characters, settings, and events in detail.

For nonfiction the tasks include asking and answering questions about details, identifying main ideas, and making connections between

events, people, and/or concepts.

The focus of citing evidence is a key change, though. The CCSS require students to refer explicitly to the text as the basis for their answers.

From fifth grade and above the standards state that students should be able to quote accurately from a text when explaining what the text says.

This means that teachers will be asking all students across grade levels to find

evidence in the text to support their thoughts for all discussions, conversations, and questions about what they have read. This will also be expected in written responses to reading.

Let’s consider some examples of what this might look like in the classroom.

When discussing or writing about characters’ actions, information about the setting, the events of a story, or about details in nonfiction, teachers might say, “Show me the evidence in the book (or

2014 TRAIL DAYS

Thursday, July 24, 2014

Plenty of fun at final Trail Days From A1 Henderson said one of the best-received events this year was American Indian dancer Ronald Preston, a newcomer to the festival.

“Ronnie Preston was just great. He was very educational,” she said.

Preston, a member of the San Carlos Apache nation, performed dances and explained the tradition behind them.

Other activities at the festival included a 5K run, breakfast at the Taft Campus, a quilt show, tipi camping, kid’s activities, and a Cowboy Arena where trickshooters and whip wranglers showed their skills.

Participants in the Mountain Man area offered demonstrations from flintknapping to blacksmithing while kids could try their hand at hoop rolling, candlemaking, and flour-sack racing in the Pioneer Village, located in the Taft Campus.

Coral Grinage, Hammond, Ind., kept busy on Saturday following her five-year-old daughter Raquel Allen from one event to the next.

“We camped in a tipi,” said Coral, after taking part in a flour sack race. “Raquel was sound asleep but I heard a raccoon trying to get in the garbage.

“We may sleep in our car tonight,” she quipped.

Tom and Rose Rienstra, Stillman Valley, went down 200 steps from the statue to the Rock River to help paddle a replica of a Voyageur canoe.

Recent Oregon High School graduates Shannon Cullen and Douglas Shaw were two festival volunteers who helped navigate the large canoe up the east channel of the river to below the Black Hawk statue.

“I’m getting a workout today,” laughed Cullen.

Henderson said ending the festival is bittersweet.

“At one point, I just burst into tears,” she said. “So many thank yous go out to so many people. We had 200 Visitors to Oregon Trail Days had the chance to paddle a replica of a voyageur canoe. Here, Douglas Shaw, Rose volunteers who came out to and Tom Rienstra, Shannon Cullen, and festival committee members Beth Henderson, Merlin Hagemann, and Karl Trimble head out on the Rock River on Sunday. Photo by Earleen Hinton help.”

The names of the winners of the 50-50 drawing and other prizes were not yet available on Tuesday.

Wiggly Wag & Walk was fun for pooches and people July 16

By Earleen Hinton General Manager Betty dazzled the crowd with her quick turns and steady eye.

Ruby didn’t complain when she was asked to give a nine-yearold Oregon girl a wagon ride and completely ignored Daphne’s continuous shout outs to everyone and anyone.

Topher was not amused when the water-misting fire hydrant mussed up her hairdo, and all Abby really wanted was to lie on her back in the shade and have her belly rubbed.

Such were the lives of the canine participants at the Oregon Park District’s Wiggly Wag & Walk last week.

Eighty-five dogs with their significant others in tow took part in the second annual event July 16 at the park district’s Wiggly Field Dog Beatrice Kremske walks her bassett hounds McGregor and McKenzie while pushing her baby Hunter Park.

“We just heard about the event in a stroller during the 2-mile walk at the Oregon Park District’s Wiggly Wag & Walk. The High Card and the park after we took classes Hound Hike was just one of several events for dogs and their owners. Photo by Earleen Hinton at Maestoso Kennels,” said Amy Ewald, Byron, who attended the event with her daughter Brooke and their dogs Buster and Sophie. “We are really glad we came because there are a lot of dogs here and it is a good place to let them socialize.”

The event included demonstrations with dogs, special vendors, a 2-mile Hound Walk through Oregon Park West, and a lot of greet and licks.

John and Connie Seraphine of Heatherhope Farm, Sycamore, gave three performances of sheep herding demonstrations by their border collies.

“These sheep know which dog is working them,” said Connie as John directed a dog. “They are not dumb.”

John talked about his dogs Cap, Abbie, and Betty as they adeptly followed his commands or whistles to herd the farm’s five North Country Cheviot sheep.

“Their hearing is very good,” he said. “Once they’ve learned the words it only takes about a half an hour to Above, Topher, a put whistles with them. It’s actually miniature Yorkie, a good thing to have your dogs on checks out the water different whistles because then it is mister fire hydrant easier to work them together.” at the Oregon Park He said one of dogs was so smart District’s Wiggly she learned the other dogs’ whistle Wag & Walk on commands in addition to her own.

Wednesday. At right, “The only problem was she’s so Topher shows her clever she learned all the other dogs’ displeasure after whistles,” he said. being sprayed by the Dogs of all shapes, sizes, and water as her owner Lindsey Scmidt, Oregon, holds her.

breeds from Pat Mandernach’s Sensa-Able Dog Training, Dixon, showed how well they listened to their human counterparts.

“She’s 4 and he’s 3,” said Janice Garren, Dixon, after she helped guide Reina and Blaze through some of the dog obstacles.

Ruby, a short-haired St. Bernard and another of Mandernach’s students, willingly pulled nine-yearold Shay Banister in a wagon. She ignored repeated barking by Daphne, a puppy, who was just trying to be sociable.

Meanwhile, Topher, a Yorkie owned by Lindsey Smidt, Oregon, didn’t appreciate the water spray she got when she sniffed the park’s fire hydrant.

State police K-9 Officer Michael Steele also showed the crowd how his partner Ogre, a three-year-old Belgian malinois, could sniff out drugs.

Steele placed 4 boxes on the ground and Ogre quickly found the one containing the drugs—all for the reward of his chew toy, a piece of old fire hose.

Obi-Wan, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, owned by Rachel Pederson, Oregon, watched Ogre through the fence, yawned, and stretched out by Erin Pederson, Rachel’s sister.

Dax, an eight-year-old Anatolian shepherd, stood quietly as his owner, Deb Daleiden, talked about how he was a rescue dog turned therapy dog.

“I’ve had him since he was five months old,” she said.

“I like the doggy,” added Aiden Askam, age 6, from Oregon as he patted Dax on the head.

Jan Champley’s labradoodle, Abby, was happy to flop on her back while Lydia Cermak and Gabi Scott rubbed her bellly.

“She was abandoned, wasn’t microchipped, and was running loose,” said Champley, whose husband Tom is an Oregon veterinarian and Ogle County Animal Control Administrator. “A dog catcher brought her in. She’s such a nice dog. When we were trying to decide what color she was, I said ‘she’s a blonde with apricot highlights.’ ” Organizer Debbie Leffelman said temperatures in the low 70s made for a perfect climate for the event.

“The weather was beautiful,” said Leffelman. “We thank everyone, people and pooches, for coming.”

Amy and Brooke Ewald, Byron, navigate their dogs Buster and Sophie around bassett hounds McGregor and McKenzie during the 2-mile High Card Hound Hike at the Oregon Park District’s Wiggly Wag & Walk.

Japanese beetles have returned to area gardens Japanese beetles have made their annual emergence and the damage can be seen in many gardens. So far, large numbers have not been reported in Northern Illinois.

Candice Miller, horticulture educator for the U of I Extension in Ogle County, provided information for residents about the insects.

It’s been believed that the

number of beetles would be lower this year because of the harsh winter, and so far that is looking true. Minor damage has been reported to sweet potato vines and knock out roses, both preferred treats for the Japanese beetle.

Japanese beetles are chewing insects that destroy leaves, flowers and fruits of more than 276 plants.

These beetles can completely skeletonize leaves, feed on corn silk and corn ear tips and are especially destructive to grapes, peaches and other members of the rose family.

The grubs feed and cause damage on grass roots in lawns, parks, golf courses, and cemeteries.

The Japanese beetle has a one-year life cycle, spending

about 10 months as a grub in the soil and in late June, the first adults emerge with most present in July and August.

Throughout the summer, adult beetles feed on a wide range of plants and deposit eggs in the soil. Eggs hatch about two weeks later and grubs feed on decaying matter and roots until temperatures cool in the fall.

They move downward and

over winter as a partially grown grub and resume some feeding activity in spring.

Pupation occurs in late spring and adults begin emerging in late June.

Every summer Illinois residents ask the same question; “How can I control Japanese beetles?�

Unfortunately, there really isn’t a great, easy solution.

The most benign control

method is to hand pick the beetles off of the plant.

Dropping them in a bucket of soapy water will quickly drown the pests. Avoiding planting the preferred hosts of the Japanese beetle would be another alternative.

State police challenge parents to set a good driving example Illinois State Police (ISP) District 1 is challenging parents and guardians this summer to drive as they would have their teens drive in an effort to set a good example for new drivers.

“Teens and children notice your driving habits. Troopers taught safety education programs this past school year to various drivers’ education classes in the area and said

an overwhelming number of students reported frequently seeing their parents texting while driving, not using their phones hands-free, speeding, or not wearing their seat belts,” said Todd Rohlwing, ISP District 1 Commander in a press release.

“The students recognize these behaviors as being against the law, and we do not

want teens to minimize the dangers associated with these driving behaviors because they see parents doing them,” Rohlwing said.

The Illinois State Police encourages parents and guardians to set a good example for teens by following traffic laws and demonstrating good driving behaviors, especially when teens and children are in

the car.

Most teen driving crashes are due to inexperience. It is important for parents to ensure teens have driven in all types of weather conditions, on different types of roadways, and at different times of the day.

Ask and limit how many passengers teens plan to have with them and know where

there are planning to go.

The ISP would also like to remind parents and teens of the following rules: It is now mandatory for everyone in a vehicle to wear a seat belt.

Cell phone use, even hands free, while driving is prohibited for drivers under age 19, except in the case of an emergency.

Permit phase drivers age 15 and licensed drivers ages 16 and 17 have nighttime driving restrictions. Local curfews may differ. The restrictions are Sunday through Thursday, 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The Ogle County Health Department provided the following information regarding Medicare benefits.

Health insurance is a contract between the insurance company and you to keep your medical costs at bay.

The insurance company pays a part of your medical expenses once you buy a plan or a policy from them. Many people get their insurance from the employers, if not; you can buy your own insurance from the health insurance market place.

The Marketplace plan can be cancelled without penalty by contacting the Marketplace call center or cancelling it online once Medicare coverage begins.

There is an initial enrollment period to sign up for Medicare, which starts three months before the 65th birthday and ends three months after the 65th birthday.

It’s not necessary to cancel the Marketplace plan once the Medicare Part A coverage starts; but the savings like premium tax credits or lower out-of-pocket costs on a plan you might have gotten from the Marketplace will end once the Medicare Part A kicks in.

It is important to enroll during the initial enrollment period as those who enroll

in Medicare after the end of initial enrollment period may have to pay a penalty for late enrollment each month covered under Medicare.

Enrollment in Medicare Part B occurs only during the Medicare general enrollment period which is from January 1 to March 31 each year.

This may create a gap in the coverage as the coverage doesn’t start until July of that year. A special enrollment period exists for eight months after employment or group health insurance terminates.

The late enrollment penalty will not apply during this period.

If you have Medicare coverage, the penalties for not having insurance under the Affordable Care Act do not apply. For additional coverage Medigap or Medicare supplement insurance policies, sold by private companies are available.

These policies help pay some of the healthcare costs that original Medicare does not cover such as copayments, coinsurance and deductibles.

These plans are only available to Medicare enrollees. A Medigap plan is different from a Medicare Advantage plan. Medicare Advantage plans are private plans that are required to cover everything Medicare

Part B does, but may offer additional coverage, whereas the Medigap policy supplements the original Medicare benefits.

Medicare Advantage is often referred to as a managed care option. Medicare Part D is required for all Medicare recipients and provides prescription drug coverage.

Many Medicare Advantage plans include Part D benefits.

It is not possible to have a Marketplace plan and Medicare at the same time.

An insurance company may not sell a plan to a Medicare recipient.

You will be automatically enrolled in Medicare if you are receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits before the Medicare eligibility period.

All private plans offering prescription drug coverage such Marketplace or SHOP plans are not required to be as comprehensive as Medicare part D coverage, but the plan must to report each year if it provides creditable coverage or not.

For additional information links for Medicare coverage and changing from Marketplace to Medicare can be found on our Facebook page.

For more information call Joanie Padilla at the Ogle County Health Department at 815-732-7330, ext. 279.
