Creative projects will be displayed

By Chris Johnson Reporter Robots, photographs, sculptures, paper crafts and more will be on display throughout the Ogle County 4-H Fair.

The 4-H fair is held with the Ogle County Fair Wednesday, July 30 through

Sunday, Aug. 3.

Creative 4-H members were checking projects in July 26 to be judged before having the projects put on display.

Seventeen-year-old Courtney Lima, a member of the Leaf River Soaring Eagles, was entering a photograph in the

photography department.

She talked to fair judge Doug Wean, Mt. Morris, about the yellow flower she took a photo of. “He was awesome, he taught me a lot,� said Lima. “He taught me about compositions and the rule of thirds.�

Lima said having a good

judge makes her want to pursue her projects every year. “I enjoy coming here and learning about the things I enjoy,� she said. “I can’t draw so this is a way I can express myself artistically.�

The flower photograph was well received by Wean Turn to A9

Groundbreaking set for sheriff’s office

By Vinde Wells Editor Although construction is already well-underway, the official groundbreaking for the new Ogle County Sheriff’s administration building will be held in midAugust.

A groundbreaking ceremony has been set for Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 4:30 p.m. at 103 Jefferson St., Oregon.

The work actually began this spring with site excavation for the $4.1 million project.

Located on the same property where the present sheriff’s office is, the new building will house the sheriff’s department, 911 communications center, and the coroner’s office and morgue.

With the foundation poured on the new Ogle County Sheriff’s Administration building, workers from P&H Electric have been making sure the conduit pipes are where they are needed before the floor of the building is poured. Photo by Chris Johnson

Chairman Kim Gouker, Byron, said Tuesday that construction is progressing smoothly. “It’s going well,� he said.

“It’s ahead of schedule. We haven’t had any major issues to slow it down or cost us money.�

The foundation was

poured several weeks ago, and workers have spent the last two weeks installing the conduit for electrical wiring and plumbing, Gouker said.

He said he expects construction will be completed late this fall or early next spring.

The building was designed

by Saavedra Gehlhausen Architects, Rockford, and Rockford Structures is the general contractor.

The new one-story building will be situated to the east of the present 100-year-old three-story building.

The old morgue was torn down to make way for the new building, and the present sheriff’s office will be demolished once construction is complete.

The area where the current building is will be used for parking.

The parking lots have been mowed, fences have been constructed, and projects are filling the barns and exhibit space.

What this means is the 161st Ogle County Fair is underway.

The fair will be held Wednesday, July 30 through Sunday, Aug. 3 at the fairgrounds on Limekiln Road west of Oregon.

Volunteers were hard at work with final preparations for the fair to get everything ready for the public.

The acrobatics pole for Galaxy Girl was raised Monday afternoon, said Ogle County Fair President Harlan Holm. “Galaxy Girl will be doing aerial acrobatics on top of this 120 foot tall pole,� he said.

This is just one of the activities planned at the fair. “The fair starts with livestock being checked into the fair,� said Holm. “Visitors can see the animals and then go view the antique tractors.�

Animal check-in is during the afternoon and early evening July 30.

The annual antique tractor show and parade is at 5 p.m. on July 30 followed by the antique tractor pulls at 6 p.m. at the grandstand.

These Wednesday events are free with paid fair admission.

Grandstand events continue on Thursday with a pair of tractor pulls.

There is a 1 p.m. afternoon tractor pull for $5 and an evening show at 7 p.m. for $10. A pit pass good for both shows is available for $20.

The Big Hat Rodeo returns to the grandstand on Friday evening.

Admission to the rodeo is $10.

Bone crunching twisted metal will be heard and seen during the annual demolition derby on Saturday night at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10 or a pit pass is available for $20. “Our new event this year is the Barnyard Olympics on Sunday,� said Holm. “This is an event that all ages can be a part of.�

The deadline to register for the Barnyard Olympics is Friday, Aug. 1, but Holm encourages interested teams to contact the fair office early.

The event is limited to the first 20 teams.

The Barnyard Olympics will be held at 11 a.m. and is free to watch.

All these events require paid fair admission.

Daily admission to the fair is $8 per person. “Families have loved our all-you-can-ride admission to the fair,� said Holm. “For just $8 your ticket includes unlimited rides.�

Having the unlimited rides allows families to experience everything the fair has to offer.

Holm said the fair board made the decision a few years ago to include fair rides in the Turn to A8

Workers waiting on statue go-ahead

By Vinde Wells Editor The restoration crew is ready and waiting for the go-ahead to begin work on Ogle County’s best-loved landmark.

Frank Rausa, Sterling, said Tuesday that a team of experts, who examined the damage to the Black Hawk Statue, is still awaiting the approval of their restoration plan from Illinois Department

of Natural Resources (IDNR) and Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (IHPA). “We expect to hear shortly,� he said. “Once we hear from them we can go full-steam ahead.�

Rausa is a member of the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, the organization spear-heading restoration efforts and fundraising for the project.

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to

In This Week’s Edition...

all Native Americans and located at Lowden State Park near Oregon, the statue draws thousands of visitors each year.

Testing and evaluations done recently by Thornton Tomasetti, Chicago, an architectural firm that provides engineering design, investigation, and analysis services to clients worldwide, showed that three areas of the statue are in dire need of repairs.

Byron Police, B6 Church News, A5 Classifieds, B7-B12 Entertainment, A6

Chunks of the concrete have fallen from the folded arms of the statue, and more areas are loose and ready to fall.

Preparation work began last week when a crew removed the bushes and limestone blocks from around the base of the statue and put up a fence around it.

Rausa said a scaffolding Crews began work last week to install new street lights may go up as early as late this in downtown Mt. Morris. An auger was used to dig the Turn to A2 holes for the concrete posts that will anchor the lights.

Club marks 118th anniversary Submitted by Linda Black The Mt. Morris Current Events Club celebrated its 118th anniversary earlier this year.

The goal of the club, which meets the third Tuesday of the month (with summers off) at the village Activity Room in the Pinecrest Complex, is to further the enjoyment of good literature and timely information (current events) among the women of Mt. Morris.

The following is a Carol Reckmeyer’s first book review tickled the funny sampling of their meeting bone. Photo supplied programs over the last year.

Insurance delays demolition

By Vinde Wells Editor Local officials said Tuesday that the probable demolition of a building destroyed in a March fire has been delayed by the insurance company’s investigation.

Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said he has learned that it will be at least a few more days until the insurance investigator from Cincinnati Financial finishes looking into the fire that destroyed Whiskey’s River

Smokehouse, 123 N. Second St., Oregon, on March 16. “The insurance company investigation is still going on,� he said.

City officials have been trying to determine how soon charred ruins of the two-story building will come down. “We’ve been trying to communicate with the insurance company for the last several weeks,� said Mayor Tom Stone. “They haven’t released it yet to be torn down.�

Fire Chief Don Heller

said that although the exact cause of the fire has not been determined, it was ruled accidental by investigators Office of the State Fire Marshal. “The fire marshal and I have both signed off on it,� he said Tuesday.

The fire started in the basement.

The building’s owner Kevin Wedel, who lived in the upstairs apartment, was not at home when the fire occurred.

June Bonaguidi fascinated members with tidbits from the life of artist Vincent Van Gogh.

He was a Dutch born postimpressionist painter, who dealt with loneliness and depression, which cast a shadow over much of his life.

Many of his best known works were painted during the last two years of his life.

Of the 2,100 works of art he completed only one painting was sold in his lifetime.

Since his death in 1890, some of his paintings have sold for more than $100 million dollars.

Statue in need of repairs From A1 week.

Once the scaffolding is in place, he said, the team 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.�

So far, approximately $725,000 has been raised toward the repairs.

Rausa an additional $75,000 to $100,000 will likely be needed to complete the project. “We have a year to raise it,� he said. “We’re confident we’ll get it.�

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

The rest came from donations, including contributions from the

Chicago Black Hawks hockey team and the Oregon Trail Days festival.

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

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.

Pets die in early morning fire

By Vinde Wells Editor An Oregon woman lost two pets in a fire that damaged her apartment early Monday morning.

Oregon Fire Chief Don Heller said a cat and dog belonging to Bonnie Hitchcock, 909 S. Fourth St., perished in the fire

that started in a bedroom.

He said Hitchcock was already at work when the fire was reported by a neighbor at 5:18 a.m. “When we got there fire was coming out of the windows on the southwest corner of the bedroom,� he said. “We got it out quickly.�

The house sustained

extensive smoke damage throughout, Heller said.

The fire was determined to be accidental, he said, but declined to give the cause.

The house is owned by John Andrews.

The Mt. Morris, Byron, and Stillman Valley Fire Departments assisted Oregon firefighters at the scene.

Sunday afternoon programs are lined up for September, October and November.

On Sunday, Sept. 28 at 2 p.m., Sharon Atkins will present a program on Mourning Customs. She talks about popular customs from the Victorian and Civil War days and she does her presentations in full costume.

It should be a fascinating program.

Keep watching for more details of upcoming programs.

Pine Creek News

By Karen Merlak It was another beautiful weekend with lots of sunshine and perfect temperatures.

We are so grateful for God’s magnificent world.

We can feel God’s love every day when we experience His creation. God is great.

This morning in church, we were greeted by Sandra Ford. Our special music was by Larry Riffle playing “Heaven Came Down� on his harmonica. Our church family is blessed to have such an accomplished musician with us.

It was my turn to give the children’s message to Kelsey and Kaiyle Horton. I showed the girls pictures of the many things growing in our garden.

I explained to them that I didn’t know what would grow so I put my faith in God and now we have wonderful produce to eat and share.

This morning we also had a guest pianist, Deb Ohlwine. Not only did she play the hymns for the Sunday School and church services, but delighted us with sweet arrangements of familiar hymns throughout the service.

Our church family was happy to welcome our Regional Elder Neil Deupree and his wife, Kay. It was so nice to visit with them both.

New Barcodes for Everyone It is finally here. The new system is “going live�. New barcodes will be issued for all library patrons.

The new system requires a little more information.

Patrons will be asked to allow a little time to answer a couple questions to complete the process.

The library staff thinks patrons will be pleased with Nettz, married Becky Swails in a beautiful ceremony at Vander Veer Conservatory in Davenport, Iowa. Kevin and Becky were happy to have their families there for their special day.

Kent and Judy traveled to Chicago on this past Saturday to see their daughter, Janelle Riopell graduate with her Masters in Music Education from Vandercook School of Music at Orchestra Hall.

Janelle enjoyed celebrating her accomplishment with her husband, Andy, their daughters, Carrie and Evie, and her family.

On Tuesday evening, I attended the Council of Churches meeting at Faith Discovery Church in Polo.

Pastor Jeremy Heller led the devotions to open the meeting. There was lots of discussion about the current and upcoming programs.

Pastor Derek Rogers shared the wonderful stories of the Kids CafĂŠ at Faith United Methodist Church.

They have already fed over one thousand children this summer. There is lots of great work being done by the many hands of volunteers.

On Monday night, I invited my son, Matt over for a dinner of tacos. I picked them up in at the Dixon VFW. My cousin, Tom Bushman, and his wife, Lanette, have been doing great work there for our veterans.

On Saturday afternoon, I took Clint to Camp Emmaus to lifeguard for the afternoon.

While there, I went to visit with Bill and Betty Hare.

Betty updated us on the busy life of taking care of the

the system once everyone gets used to it. They are asking for a little patience since everyone is still learning the new system.

Granny Rose Donations Donations are being accepted for the Granny Rose Animal Shelter.

Because Granny Rose is a non-profit organization, they rely on the kindness of the community in order to provide for the animals in

their care.

A representative from the shelter recently presented a program to the children to help them understand what the shelter does and that rescued animals are not “broken�.

A list of useful items is posted at the library. The donated items will be taken to the shelter near the end of the summer. To learn more about Granny Rose, visit their website at www.grannyrose. camp. org.

Also visiting Betty were Coming this Fall Lisa Fike and her daughter, Bethany. Bethany has been working in the kitchen, first with Stephanie and now with Clint.

Lisa and Bethany spent the afternoon helping with the check-in process for 4-H members at the Ogle County Fair.

Before dropping Clint off at the camp, he and I went out to the garden to dig up the potatoes that have been growing out there. Since it’s our first garden, we were both very excited to see so many potatoes hiding under the ground.

As we went down the line to each plant, Clint continued to loosen the soil and dig and he told me I could use this as a children’s message. Growing potatoes is a wonderful example of faith.

On the surface, there’s a plant to take care of with no evidence of what is growing underneath. When it’s time to harvest, our faith is rewarded with the produce that is gathered.

God has asked me and my family to have faith as we walk a difficult path. He continues to take care of all of us and so we continue to have faith in Him. I believe in God and the great things He can do and I hope you do, too.

Please join us for a morning of praise and worship, fellowship with a wonderful church family, and the chance to learn more about our amazing God. I hope to see you in Pine Creek next Sunday.

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

Harn’s second job has not been full 40 hours

By Matt Mencarini Sauk Valley Media In his first five weeks as maintenance coordinator for the Forrestville Valley School District, Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn didn’t quite work full time.

Harn, whose term as sheriff runs through November, was hired by the school district in May to start work on June 2.

Jane Eichman, who was interim superintendent at the time of Harn’s hire, told Sauk Valley Media in May that he was hired with the expectation of working 40 hours a week. Harn later

told the Ogle County Life newspaper that he would work part time until his term as sheriff ended.

Records show that Harn has averaged 34.75 hours a week for his first five weeks. He worked 46, 31.75, 32.5, 31.5 and 32 hours in those weeks, respectively, according to signed timesheets obtained by Sauk Valley Media through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Harn did not respond to a request for comment.

Eichman told Sauk Valley Media that while she wasn’t present during interviews for the maintenance job, Harn

told the district he could handle both jobs. The board approved a full-time position, she said.

Current Superintendent Sheri Smith, who started after Harn’s hire, confirmed that Harn had been working less than 40 hours a week, but she didn’t respond to questions about why the expectation changed and whether it would be that expectation until December.

Harn was elected Ogle County Sheriff in 2010. He lost a primary election to Rochelle police officer Brian VanVickle in March.

Jamie Revelle earns use of a Chevy Cruz through Mary Kay business Mary Kay Independent Sales Director Jamie ReVelle of Oregon, has earned the use of a new Chevy Cruze as a result of her outstanding achievements in her Mary Kay business.

ReVelle will take delivery of the new Chevy Cruze, her first Mary Kay career car, at Ken Nelson Auto in Dixon, later this fall.

Mary Kay independent sales force members earn the use of a career car by meeting or exceeding goals set within their Mary Kay businesses. “The car is really a testimony to the amazing group of women that make up our Mary Kay team.

This milestone would not

be possible without their handwork and dedication to the Mary Kay dream,� said ReVelle in a press release. “Earning a car for my family and taking all car expenses out of our home is something I am so excited for and extremely humbled by.�

The Career Car Program includes the Chevy Cruze in white, Chevy Equinox crossover in black, Toyota Camry in black, BMW320i in black and the iconic and coveted pearlized pink Cadillac, a signature color to the Mary Kay career car program. “Cars earned by the independent sales force through this exciting program

serve as a symbol of their hard-work and success in their Mary Kay businesses,� said Darrell Overcash, president of Mary Kay Inc. U.S. “For 50 years, Mary Kay has continued to provide a rewarding opportunity selling irresistible products, changing the lives of women around the world.�

Since the Mary Kay Career Car Program’s inception in 1969, more than 144,000 independent sales force members have qualified or re-qualified to earn the use of a Mary Kay career car.

He told her about how changing the settings on the camera can change how the overall photograph appears.

This was the fifth year Lima has entered photos in the 4-H fair.

Another creative project was entered by 15-yearold Natalie Carlson, By-Y Badgers.

She created a floral arrangement out of paper flowers she meticulously made. “We are looking at close to 30 hours for this project,� said Carlson.

She said their were minimal problems with creating the project because she read the instructions and did tests before starting. “They worked pretty well,�

said Carlson. “I did a couple tryouts before starting and that helped.�

Planning for the project and following the directions helped with her project, she said.

The inspiration for the project came from a regular trip to the library. “I saw this book at the library and it grabbed my attention,� she said.

Other projects that were checked in Saturday afternoon included a metal sculpture of a heron, a model farm, wood shelves, and a robot.

The robot was made using LEGO Mindstorm sensors and creativity.

in 185 F. degree water to remove lanolin and clean the raw wool.

After 24 hours of air drying the wool fiber is put through a picker machine, which opens the wool.

Next, the fiber goes into the carder, which produces roving, a soft, fluffy, continuous band of open wool.

At this stage the wool can be hand spun on a spinning wheel or it can be processed on the pin drafter, which lines the wool up evenly in preparation for the spinning frame.

Options at this point include single, double, or triple strand yarn fiber, which can be hand-crafted into a cozy sweater, scarf, toys, or even art.

To make skeins, the fiber is wrapped on a skein winder.

After the strands are handcounted and hand-tied, the fiber is ready for shipping.

Following a tour of the fiber processes, the Whale Watchers browsed the shop, where sheep products can be purchased: luxurious sheep skins, gloves, moccasins, mittens, toys, art work, lanolin products and more.

There are even products for people with special needs, such as moccasins with Velcro closures and crutch armrest covers.

A variety of fibers can be processed including goat, sheep, mohair, llama, alpaca mixed with wool for stability, camel, and even long-haired dog fur.

We would like to thank the businesses, organizations and individuals who helped make the program a success.

“The income on the operating fund is a wash,” Williams said.

In 2013-2014 the operating fund was negative $57,675.

“We have to approve this ordinance,” said Williams.

The ordinance was unanimously approved.

Williams also thanked the

council for working on the budget.

A copy of the budget and the appropriation ordinance are available at city hall or by visiting the city website at www.cityoforegon.org.

An appropriations ordinance is required by law and informs the community what a city can legally spend each year.

Williams said the appropriation is always higher then the city budget.

John Deere Historic Site hosts blacksmithing event Hammer In to host 50+ artisans this weekend

By Vinde Wells Editor More than 50 blacksmiths from several states will ply their trade this weekend at the Hammer In at the John Deere Historical Site, Grand Detour.

John Deere spokesman Wendy Artman said both local and out-of-the-area artisans will gather to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic site on Saturday, Aug. 2 and Sunday, Aug. 3.

“They’re coming from all over the Midwest,” she said. “We will have participants from Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana and Kansas.”

The company John Deere founded has a presence around the world, but it all started in Grand Detour, where Deere forged the first self-scouring steel plow more than 177 years ago.

To celebrate the blacksmith’s history and trade, the John Deere Historic Site is hosting Hammer In. Dozens of blacksmiths from the Midwest will fill the grounds of the historic site to provide demonstrations, sell

their work, and introduce the public to one of the oldest trades in the world.

In addition to blacksmithing, other trades will be exhibiting their skills and selling their wares including basket weavers, broom makers, trappers, wheelwrights, woodwrights and more.

From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, visitors will see how blacksmiths and other tradesmen mold and craft their wares into works of art and household goods.

Many of the products for sale during the event will be made on location.

On Saturday, at noon, guests will be treated to the sound of dozens of blacksmiths hammering in unison during an official “Anvils Ring.”

A food vendor will be on site and a charity auction will also take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday.. Proceeds from the auction will be divided between the Upper Midwest Blacksmith and Illinois Valley Blacksmith Associations, both event sponsors, for their scholarship programs.

“We are proud to host another Hammer In event. It provides a unique and exciting way to educate people about the historical significance of the blacksmith trade,”

said Brian Holst, manager of the John Deere Historic Site. “Blacksmiths were essential to the pioneer way of life and we look forward to celebrating their history. We enjoy demonstrating the trade and art and celebrating a skill that has a deep history, yet is still active today.”

This year, the John Deere Historic Site is celebrating its 50th year as a tourist attraction. To commemorate the anniversary, a new statue, which is a replica of the original plow John Deere fashioned 177 years ago, will be unveiled at the event.

Made from steel by a small team of blacksmiths, the statue, which is twice the size of the original plow, will become a permanent structure at the site.

The John Deere Historic Site held its first Hammer In event in 2004, with 75 blacksmiths, attracting thousands from around the country. Hammer In events have been hosted here every other year since.

Admission is $5 for 12 years and older, children under 12 are free.

For more information, please contact the John Deere Historic Site at 815652-4551. The site is located nine miles south of Oregon in Grand Detour.

OHS new athletes/parents night and Champion seminar Aug. 7 All freshmen and any students new to Oregon High School who are planning on participating in athletics at Oregon High School along with their parents are required to attend the Freshman Athlete, New Athlete, Parent Night on Thursday, Aug. 7 at

6:30 p.m. in the Oregon High School gym.

Oregon Athletic Director Mike Lawton will present information regarding OHS athletic policies and requirements. Attendance is mandatory.

In addition, the University

of Notre Dame will be presenting its acclaimed Play Like A Champion Today/ Coaching for Character parent seminar as part of the evening as well.

For more information, call the OHS athletic office at 815-732-3330.

The parent-teen team of AJ Nordman (Alan Jr) and Sandy Nordman competed in the Finals of the QubicaAMF International Family Tournament, held at Don Carter Lanes, Rockford, IL July 20-21,finishing in fifth place.

This unique Adult/ Youth doubles format event consisted of six games of regular bowling, 8 Baker (alternating frames by each bowler) Match Play Games and a three team stepladder finals. Teams from across the US and military bases worldwide, bowled in local

(Town & Country Lanes, Mt. Morris) and state qualifiers (Fox Bowl, Wheaton, IL ) for the honor to represent their area in the Finals.

The Nordman’s were one of 3 team representing Illinois at the event and one 36 at the Finals. In the regular bowling portion, AJ bowled games of 254,209,203,206,235,192 while Sandy rolled 187,149,166,185,160,182.

After 6 games the team was in fourth place overall advancing to the Baker Match Play round – top 8 qualifiers.

All the scores were zeroed and only the Baker Game

scores counted from that point forward.

At the end of Baker the team found themselves 19 pins short of qualifying for the stepladder finals, in fifth place.

AJ received $1,750 in scholarship money for the team finish. Multiple time PBA Bowler of the Year – Norm Duke was on hand to perform trick shots and speak at the awards banquet.

This is the only National event in the country where Kids and Parents get to compete together for awards and scholarship money.

Budget may change trainer position at OHS

Institute, recently came to an end.

For Cain to stay on with Oregon, it would have to be under a different arrangement and most likely not as fiscally favorable as the contract with OCPT. “It was extremely good,” said Oregon athletic director, Mike Lawton, without giving specific dollar amounts.

Virtually any school would love to have the type of setup that Oregon did. In fact, two other BNC schools did.

Byron and Marengo also used trainers provided by Orthopedic Sports Therapy Institute.

In a survey of schools in the Sauk Valley area, only seven of the 15 had full or part-time trainers.

One of those schools that don’t is Dixon. They used to have one for free with Rebound Physical Therapy, but after KSB severed ties with RPT, that plum deal was a thing of the past.

With a tight budget, Dixon could not justify paying

to have a trainer. Will Oregon end up in the same predicament as Dixon?

“We’re investigating all opportunities,” Lawton said.

“But, it has to fit within our budget.”

As far Cain, he would love to continue on with Oregon, a place he has been since 1990.

And, Oregon would love to keep him on. *** Spring of 2013 was rarity for Oregon athletics in both a softball and baseball player received a division-I scholarship. Bree Tourtillott went on to play at University of Texas El Paso and Alex Cain at Eastern Illinois University.

Both experienced first hand how difficult it is to crack into the starting line-up as freshmen.

Tourtillott did start eight games for the Miners (17-34) and played in 21 of the 51 contests. As she did in high school, she was a catcher, even garnering a 1.000% fielding percentage as a

Sports Column

By Andy Colbert Reporter For the past couple of decades, one of the hidden gems of Oregon athletics has been John Cain. Nearly every Hawk sporting event that I have attended, Cain has been an omnipresent sight.

His role as athletic trainer has been invaluable to every sports program at Oregon.

Just as impressive has been his commitment and reliability.

Since 2006, the school district has contracted with Ogle County Physical Therapy for Cain’s professional services. It has been an extremely fortuitous relationship for Oregon.

However, Cain’s employment with OCPT and its parent company, Orthopedic Sports Therapy

freshman.

On offense, she had 20 atbats and six hits for a .300 average. She also scored five runs and had three RBIs. Cain did make the traveling squad for 34-man EIU roster and saw time in 11 games.

He had three hits and a .231 batting average for the 2233 Panthers of the Ohio Valley conference. He played first base, right field and occasionally pitched.

Currently, Cain is playing for the DuPage County Hounds in the Midwest Collegiate League.

A highlight was being selected to the All-Star team earlier in July.

EIU begins its fall practice in August and Cain is hopeful is seeing more time as a pitcher as he progresses through their program.

My knowledge of high school baseball is limited, so I generally leave that to the experts. This past spring I heard an interesting comment on the 2013 Hawk baseball team from a local umpire that

shed a positive light on Cain.

He remembered Cain’s on and off the field leadership and felt this year’s team missed having that intangible. *** If you happen to be driving around Hawk Drive near Landers-Loomis Field, you’ll see a slightly different look to the football stadium. The two goal posts have been painted fluorescent green or some kind of color close to that.

“Just like the NFL,” said Bill Nesemeier, Building and Grounds Director for the school.

It’s just one more small touch in perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing smallschool athletic complex in the state.

Am I biased? Maybe.

But, I challenge someone to find a better one. *** With fall sports soon to start, there is a need for more kids in cross-country program. Right now, there are four boys and two girls.

sport among adults, but that growth is missing among the younger set, not just at Oregon, but schools all over.

From 2001-2111, the Lady Hawks went downstate nine times in cross country. The boys had a run of five straight trips downstate from 200307.

What is the future of this once proud program, that produced an IHSA boys state championship team in 1997?

Farm Bureau will host information meeting Aug. 21 The Ogle County Farm Bureau will host an informational meeting on the new federal Farm Bill on Thursday, Aug. 21 at 7 p.m.

The meeting will be held at the Rock River Center, 810 S. 10th St., Oregon.

Illinois Farm Bureau Marketing Director, Doug Yoder, will facilitate the program. Yoder has traveled throughout Illinois the past few years providing information seminars on crop insurance, farm bill

provisions and other USDA programs.

Topics for this meeting include: adjusted gross income, payment limitations, conservation compliance, and price loss coverage/ agricultural risk.

Additional topics will be non-insured crop disaster assistance, disaster programs, base acreage reallocation, and sign-up dates.

To date very little information has been given to farmers and landowners

about the new Farm Bill and the changes in many provisions moving forward.

This program will provide farmers and landowners with information they will need in making decisions on enrollment.

The Farm Bill information meeting is free, but advanced reservations are requested.

Call the Ogle County Farm Bureau at 815-732-2231 or e-mail cfb@ogle.comcastbiz. net to make a reservation.

generated in the county.

This is an admirable effort, but more can be done. The OCSWMD asks what your organization can do to reduce waste, increase recycling, and reduce reliance on landfills.

The application for the grant is simple and flexible.

Businesses could use grant funds to help purchase waste reduction and recycling materials and equipment, such as collection bins, carts, balers, and storage containers.

Also consider sustainable packaging instead of disposable packaging for products and supplies, or starting a composting

program if you are in the restaurant business.

Schools may seek funds for special projects that will further a student’s understanding of how to reduce the amount of trash sent to the landfill.

The requests may be for materials and equipment, such as recycling bins/carts, videos, books, worm bins, composters, or a dishwasher so disposable plastic ware and Styrofoam trays can be replaced with reusable silverware and plastic trays.

Municipalities seeking to improve curbside or multi-family recycling are encouraged to apply, or park

districts looking to provide recycling opportunities for park users.

These examples are not all inclusive and applicants are encouraged to find new and innovative ways to reduce the amount of waste and increase what is recycled.

The grants may not be used for ongoing expenses, such as staffing, collection, and hauling costs. Priority will be given to new applicants.

All applications received will be reviewed by OCSWMD staff and the Ogle County Board Solid Waste Committee. Grants will be evaluated on the following criteria: management ability;

project quality; project impact; realistic goals and expectations; accuracy of application; educational potential; use of recycled content product when available; potential for waste stream diversion; and future continuity of the project.

Applications are due

by Friday, Oct. 3 and will be reviewed, scored, and acted on by the Solid Waste Committee by the end of October.

For more information or to request an application, call the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020 or visit www. oglecounty.org.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Show off your best qualities.

Your improved appearance will make you feel more confident and assured. You will earn more respect from others if you feel better about yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Others may try to influence you, but don’t do anything that

could compromise your health today. Overindulging will lead to troublesome health concerns or embarrassment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Use a friend as a sounding board for your ideas.

By voicing your dreams, you are likely to attract help that could take your plans and spin them in a favorable direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Business dealings and negotiations will not be fruitful today. Set aside time to work on your own tasks, and avoid being drawn into any disagreements with your peers.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- By joining in discussions with people from different backgrounds, you will find a space to share novel and creative ideas. You will broaden your prospects and find compatible partners.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The health concerns of an older relative must not be overlooked. Take a close look at this person’s surroundings to help safeguard against accidents.

Being responsible will result in an unexpected reward for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Stay away from the spotlight today. Unless your opinion is asked for, keep quiet. You could end up in a verbal tug-of-war or a vulnerable position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t let restlessness or irritability get to you. Instead, catch up on unfinished chores that have been nagging at you.

Focus inward and stay out of trouble.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Consider modernizing your look.

You can be more stylish without falling prey to the latest fashion trends. Ask your friends for help and advice if you get confused.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -You will benefit if you put more effort into achieving harmony at home. Being agreeable and offering assistance will help you build strong relationships and family ties.
