Crowd turns out to honor Reckmeyer

By Sarah Zuniga Correspondent Not only was Wednesday’s Kable Band concert in Mt. Morris the last one of the season, but it was the last one for a long-time director.

Ninety-one-year-old Warren Reckmeyer, who began directing in 1957, is putting away his baton after directing the Mt. Morris Kable Concert Band for the past 59 years.

Before the conclusion

of the concert, Kable Band Council members Roy Keebler, Bev Binkley, Sylvia Saunders, Ellen Miller, and Andy Eckardt honored Warren and his wife Carol by sharing memories and wellwishes at the conclusion of the concert.

“I’ve known Warren for about 45 years,” Keebler shared with the concert audience.

“I’ve always enjoyed working with him.”

Keebler was honored

by Reckmeyer for having perfect attendance in the Kable Band for the past 25 years. Keebler joined the band after he retired from directing for the Oregon school district in 1990.

“We can really appreciate Warren for 60 years of directing this band,” said Keebler.

Binkley told the crowd, “It’s been both a pleasure and an honor to be a part of this tradition.”

Saunders recounted her

early days being a member of the Kable Band.

She had joined the band in the early 1950s, before Reckmeyer began directing the band.

Reckmeyer took over the band when she was a senior in high school, and Saunders was one of Reckmeyer’s first students.

Miller applauded all of the time and work Reckmeyer has put into being director of the band, including Turn to A2

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police are seeking information about a man who impersonated a police officer last week at a rural Oregon residence.

Sheriff Brian VanVickle said the public has already provided several leads on the case.

“We’re following up on about a dozen leads,” he said Tuesday afternoon.

According to a press release from VanVickle late last week, the man arrived at the residence at approximately 10 p.m. on July 27 and identified himself as being with the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department.

The man had a deep voice with Southern accent and told the occupant of the residence that he needed to search the house to look for a missing person.

After several minutes of trying to convince the occupant he needed to search the house, the man left.

The man is described as being a white male in his late 20s or early 30s, 5 feet 10 inches tall, and having a very thin build.

He had short dark brown or black hair and a small amount of hair on his chin.

He was wearing eyeglasses and wearing an earring in his right ear.

He was wearing a dark

blue or black uniform with a button-up long sleeved shirt having a sewn-on badge patch on the left chest.

He was wearing black dress shoes and a belt with attached flashlight and handcuff case.

He was driving a white or gray older style squad car vehicle, possible a four-door Ford Crown Victoria.

Anyone who recognizes the sketch of the man or has similar incidents is asked to call the sheriff’s office at 815-732-2136.

Callers can also contact Crime Stoppers at 1-888288-4488. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.

162nd Ogle County Fair was filled with fun, thrills

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Thrilling shows, costumed animals, and perfect weather were some of the highlights of the 162nd Ogle County Fair.

The grandstands were the place to be each night at the fair for tractor pulls, a rodeo, and the metal crunching demolition derby.

Rose Walton, Forreston, was one of the local competitors in the antique tractor pulls July 29.

“The competition is fun and I get to beat the men.

These guys show no mercy,” she said.

In a tractor pull, the competitors are hooked to a weighted sled and try to pull for the longest distance. As the distance increases the weight on the sled increases resistance.

“To get a good pull you need to pay attention to what you are doing and what everyone else is doing,” said Walton. “The track conditions can throw you off. You need to pay attention to the entire track.”

During the antique tractor pull there were two divisions, antique and farm.

The antique tractor is usually stock tractors with no modifications. The farm

tractors are right off the farm.

“Sometimes people put oversized pistons in them to increase power,” said Walton.

Too much power can also cause an unexpected result.

Joe Stebbins, Forreston, ended up doing a wheelie and was riding on two wheels.

The second group of tractor pulls was Thursday night with the high powered tractors that billow black smoke when pulling.

A packed grandstand was the sight at the start of the Big Hat Rodeo July 31.

When visitors were

arriving late rodeo clown Kenny Schappacher, Tampa, Florida, would call them out

for showing up late.

He did this all in good fun The job of a rodeo clown may

appear to be all fun and games but they serve an important Turn to B1

Band members honor Reckmeyer From A1 sorting music into folders for each concert and repairing instruments.

“He plays a mean clarinet,” Miller added jokingly. “So thank you, thank you, Mr. Reckmeyer and Carol, for letting us say it with music.”

Andy Eckardt, who has been the band director at Oregon High School for eight years, will now take over as director of the band.

“Andy does a great job,” said Reckmeyer. “He has programed some stuff that I’ve bought and I looked at it and thought, ‘Oh, that’s too hard for the band.’ But he’s done it,” said Reckmeyer.

Although the change is not yet official, Eckardt announced at the concert that the band shell is planning to be named, “The Warren G. Reckmeyer Band Shell” to honor Reckmeyer.

In lieu of a plaque, Reckmeyer was presented with a picture of the band shell on poster board, which was signed by all of the current members of the Kable Band.

The plaque with the band shell’s new name is planning on being unveiled at an open house on Sept. 27, just before Reckmeyer’s 92nd birthday.

The name change is

scheduled on the agenda for the Mt. Morris village board meeting on Aug. 11.

“I never expected anything like that, I’ll tell ya,” said Reckmeyer with a chuckle when asked about having the band shell named after him.

To conclude the concert, Reckmeyer was called forward to direct the band’s theme song, “Say It with Music,” by Irving Berlin, for one last time.

As a final surprise, confetti and balloons were dropped from the top of the band shell, in a box normally used to drop the American flag during the National Anthem.

tonight,” said Reckmeyer about the concert audience, commenting that every bench in audience was full.

“I didn’t expect this big of a crowd! And it was great weather. We couldn’t have had a better night, really, that was wonderful.”

Suzanne Hopps, Rockford, has attended the concerts for about 10 years.

Her husband, Larry, plays baritone in the band.

“It was a wonderful night and it’s a great honor to be here to honor Warren. He’s done great stuff for this band,” said Hopps.

Ben Baldwin, a 2015 graduate of Oregon High School, has been a student of Warren’s since he was in seventh grade.

“He’s hugely impacted my musical career,” said Baldwin, who is planning on majoring in music education at Michigan State University in the fall.

“I was just starting to develop musically, and I was just realizing that I really liked music, and that that’s what I wanted to do, and that coincided right when I started taking lessons from him, so it was huge because he was there and I learned so much from him. He’s just such a great teacher and has so much experience, and to have him right at that stage where I was developing and getting serious about it, that was huge for me.”

At least one Mt. Morris resident hopes Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) officials will change their minds about not stepping down the speed limit at the west edge of Mt. Morris.

Paul Hackerson, 504 W. Hitt St. (Ill. 64) asked the village board July 28 to take action to slow down traffic entering town on Ill. 64.

“I think it’s getting incredibly dangerous,” he said.

Earlier this summer, Police Chief Jason White asked IDOT to review the traffic flow because the speed limit goes from 55 mph outside the village limits immediately to 30 mph inside the village.

Village officials had hoped IDOT would gradually decrease the limit outside the village limits to slow traffic as it enters the 30 mph zone.

After doing a traffic survey, IDOT officials said no to the village’s request for stepped down speed limits.

At a previous meeting, village trustee Shane Pope, who lives west of Hackerson, had voiced his concern over

the situation.

Hackerson said vehicles are entering the village limits at 55 to 65 mph per hour, and he is concerned that older adults and children who live in the area could be injured trying to cross the street.

He said he is also concerned that a serious accident could occur when people are leaving services at Disciples United Methodist Church on the northwest corner of Hitt Street and Maple Avenue.

Hackerson, who lives in the block between Maple and Hannah, asked if an electronic speed sign could be placed in the area to remind motorists to slow down, and for increased police patrols during busy times of day.

White said police cannot ticket drivers as they come into the village because of the 500-foot speed reduction zone that begins at the speed limit sign.

“It pushes that 500-foot reduction zone to Hannah Avenue,” he said.

He said he will position an unmanned squad car in the area.

Village president Dan Elsasser, who lives on Maple Avenue near the intersection with Hitt Street, said he plans to ask IDOT to reconsider.

Carr disagrees with recreation spending

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Some expenditures for recreational activities came under fire July 28 at the Mt. Morris Village Board meeting.

Resident Joyce Carr, a former Park Board member, told the board she disagrees with allocating recreational funds for activities that take place out of town.

According to village ordinances, she said, that money is supposed to be used for recreational programs that take place in the village.

Carr’s comments came after trustee Phil Labash made a motion to renew the annual contract with the Mt. Morris Senior Center for $3,000 for its recreational

programs. The money is paid in quarterly installments of $750 each, some of which is used for trips outside the village.

The agreement with the Oregon Park District also needs to go, Carr said.

Through that agreement, the village pays approximately $6,000 annually to the park district, which allows Mt. Morris residents to pay the same rate for activities there as park district residents.

Carr said the out-ofdistrict fees are only slightly higher and should not pose a hardship to Mt. Morris residents who want to participate in park district activities.

The board unanimously Turn to A3

Restoring Black Hawk statue takes delicate touch

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Tadeusz Mlynarczyk leaned in close to the side of the Lorado Taft creation using small tools to carefully remove dirt and grime from its 104-year-old surface.

His light taps with a petite hammer and chisel provided a steady rhythmic clinking that softly filled the air nearly 50 feet above the Rock River Valley.

Such was a typical work morning on the painstaking restoration of what is commonly know as the Black Hawk Statue.

Mlynarczyk, a technician with Conservation of Sculptures and Objects Studio, Inc., Forest Park, sat on the sixth level of scaffolding July 30 performing the delicate tasks as he worked on a small three foot square section of the sculpture.

“All right, the calcium was really really hard and thick,” said Mlynarczyk. “It was a lot of work to get to this point. We have to clean and remove the stuff. It is looking like it is original.”

Work is being done in

sections with a spray bottle of solvent, a wire brush, a chisel, and a small hammer.

“We are getting some solvents to do more cleaning,” Mlynarczyk said. “Some parts I can not touch because they are too fragile.”

Time and weather have damaged the statue to the point that portions of the exterior have crumbled and fallen off.

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.

Mlynarczyk picked up a hammer and lightly tapped on Black Hawk.

Most spots had a solid ring to them when struck, but when he got to a damaged section of the elbow the sound was more of a hollow thud.

“That is not fine,” Mlynarczyk said. “We will have to inject and make it solid before we can clean it.

The work being done was for conservation of the statue.

“Usually restoration is ‘let’s take and make a

beautiful new one and strong forever,’” said Mlynarczyk .

“The work done previously was ‘don’t worry about it.’

Because of that, it makes it hard for us to do this right.

Cheaper and faster, is what they did.”

Mlynarczyk showed portions of the statue that still had rotten pieces of wood from where

scaffolding from previous restoration efforts were left.

Farm Heritage Festival will be at East Jordan Activities for the whole family are planned Aug. 29 Jeff Elbel + Ping will perform Friday evening at the band shell in downtown Mt. Morris. Photo supplied

Jeff Elbel closes the music season Mt. Morris High School graduate Jeff Elbel + Ping will close the Mt. Morris Jamboree’s 2015 season on Friday, Aug. 7 at 7 p.m. at the band shell.

Elbel is a musician, songwriter, and producer currently based in Wheaton.

He is also a frequent journalist for publications including the Chicago Sun-Times. He runs a recording studio called The Happy Club and is included in many bands, one of these being Jeff Elbel+Ping. He is also included in Tom Sharpe’s band.

Elbel named his main band after the computer term which is when one sends a signal to another trying to

establish a connection.

This is what Ping strives to do: create a special connection with their audience playing their brand of original heartland rock ‘n’ roll with a good groove and a rhythm and blues influence.

Ping can be anything from a trio all the way up to an eleven piece band, for which Jeff composes most of the material.

Elbel plays guitar and sings, Mike Choby is on keyboards, Dave Dampier plays percussion, Maron Gaffron provides powerful vocals, guitar and percussion, John Blum is the drummer, Stacey Krejci sings and plays bass,

and John Bretzlaff plays guitar.

For $20, visitors can sample wine, craft beer, and specialty appetizers during the Chamber event.

“South Shore is such a crowd favorite and everyone seems to really like to see them do a whole show after the parade is over,” said Snow.

The post parade show will be held on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon library.

Other events for the 2015 festival include: The AOP Fun Zone for kids which includes an Extreme Jungle Gym with a trapeze swing and slide.

Flashback to the 1970s with the 2015 AOP festival Oregon event is Oct. 3-4 Volunteer organizers have been very busy planning the 45th annual Autumn on Parade festival, slated for Oct. 3-4, in Oregon.

A “Flashback to the 1970s” is the theme for this year’s event, which marks the 45th anniversary of the popular fall festival.

“We wanted to try and do something to celebrate the 45 years of Autumn on Parade.

A lot of volunteers have helped make this festival a success since 1970 and we thought the 1970s theme might be fun,” said festival president Marseyne Snow.

“We’ve been busy for the last several months also working on some new events for 2015.”

New Events Two new events include a donut eating contest for kids (as well as adults) and a painting class, where participants can “Create a Canvas” with help from a

professional artist.

“Casey’s is sponsoring the donut eating contest which should be a lot of fun on Saturday,” said Snow.

The contest will run from 9 a.m. to approximately 1 p.m. on Saturday.

There will be four-age groups: 5-7 years; 8-10; 1113; and 14-adult.

“We tried to break it into groups that would be competitive against each other,” said Chris Weber, cochairman of the event. “The winner of each age group will be given a prize.”

Create a Canvas Autumn on Parade will be celebrating Oregon’s rich history of artistic expression with its new Create A Canvas event on Saturday night on the main floor of the Oregon Coliseum.

“The Create a Canvas will give visitors a chance to create their own painting on Saturday night,” said Snow.

Under direction of a Dixon artist, participants will be instructed step-by-

Through cooperation with Ogle County and city officials, more than 160 booths will be located on the historic courthouse lawn and on surrounding city streets offering a variety of arts and crafts ranging from handmade wood items to homemade baked breads.

Harvest Time Parade The Harvest Time Parade, held on Sunday at 1 p.m., is shaping up to be another good one.

“In addition to the South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers we have several high school marching bands and novelty entries like a rocket cycle, stilt walkers, and many

Oil, anti freeze take-back day is Saturday, Aug. 22 in Oregon

By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department The Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD), in cooperation with the Illinois Recovery Group (IRG), Braceville, will conduct an oil and anti-freeze take back event on Saturday, Aug. 22 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., at 909 W. Pines Rd., Oregon at the Ogle County Pines Road Annex parking lot.

We always hear that oil is the life “blood” of any engine.

It is good practice to change the oil to keep the engine running smooth.

Here in Ogle County that amounts to a lot of used oil.

Ogle County residents and farmers can bring in large barrels of oil, up to four barrels or 220 gallons maximum per visitor, or small containers of oil, which will be bulked together and recovered.

IRG will be on hand with a

Saturday, Aug. 22, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., 909 W. Pines Rd., Oregon at the Ogle County Pines Road Annex parking lot vacuum truck to recover the used oil and anti-freeze into their specialized truck.

Oil filters will also be collected and placed into bins for cleaning and recycling.

Do not mix or bring in brake fluid, power steering fluids, paints, paint thinners, or other contaminants with oil or anti-freeze, as these materials cannot be placed into the truck with oil and anti-freeze destined to be recycled or burned as a fuel source.

OCSWMD or IRG will not be able to accept containers

used to transport oil or antifreeze.

These must be taken back by participants and reused or disposed of with regular trash pick-up.

Tires will not be accepted at this event.

Recovered oil and antifreeze can be either recycled into new product, or in the case of oil, used as a fuel source for buildings, construction work, and more.

Take advantage of this event if you have used oil around the garage or barn.

Let’s keep used oil and antifreeze out of our public water systems, waterways, and soils and rid your residence of these materials, which can be a safety hazard around the house to people or pets.

If you are a do-it-youselfer and have used oil or antifreeze around, take advantage of this event on Aug. 22.

For more information, or if residents have more than 220 gallons of oil to be recycled, call OCSWMD at 815-732-4020 or visit www. oglecounty.org.

Healthy heart program at RRC The Rock River Center will sponsor a healthy lifestyle program on Tuesday, Aug. 11 at 10 a.m. at the center, 810 S. 10th St., Oregon.

Estelle Shippert of the

Rochelle Community Hospital Cardiac Team will present tips and information for maintaining a healthy heart.

Topics will include making

changes to diet and exercise and how changes can make a difference in overall health.

To register, call 815-7323252 or 1-800-541-5479.

Refreshments will be served.

VOP car wash is this Saturday The Village of Progress Parents Association will hold a car wash on Saturday, Aug. 8 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Oregon Fire Station

to raise funds for Special Olympians.

If necessary a rain date has been reserved for Saturday,

New recycling bins for Oregon parks thanks to Ogle grant Oregon Park District workers recently installed mixed use recycling containers at Oregon Park East, Mix Park, and Lions Park.

The park district was the recipient of a $2,000

grant from Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department.

The new containers complement the containers purchased in 2014 through the same Waste Reduction and

Recycling Grant.

The goal of the district’s recycling program is to reduce waste throughout the park system and increase recycling awareness among residents and visitors.

Public Voice Foundation asks for your help to help students Dear Friends of Oregon Community Unit School District 220, We are asking you for your energy, expertise, and commitment to help Oregon Schools’ Foundation continue the commitment it made to enhance educational opportunities for both District 220 and its students.

Since 1986, OSF has accomplished this by supporting our youth through grants and scholarships.

To identify just a few of the resources provided to OCUSD 220, the Oregon Schools’ Foundation (through classroom grants) has provided math kits, computers, printers, muti-source projectors, dictionaries, and book carts with AP history and calculus preparation books.

Through Donor Scholarships, OSF has provided more than $22,000 to institutions of higher learning on behalf of District 220 students.

At the state and local current levels of funding, it is no secret that education continues to become more and more expensive.

District 220 is innovative by promoting programs that include advanced-placement classes at local community colleges, specific scholarships for students in the district to attend skillsbased training while still in high school, and scholarships to post-high school facilities.

These efforts not only help reduce future educational costs for parents and students, but they enable the students to be better prepared for the workforce

directly out of high school by accumulating credits for basic college courses before starting their path to a higher education.

Because of both District 220’s efforts and OSF’s contributions in support of those efforts, students and their families could save thousands of dollars in educational costs.

The Foundation, with your help, looks forward to continuing this support for Oregon Community Unit School District 220.

If you are interested in joining the Foundation and working to help improve school opportunities and would more information, please contact : Lora Stevens McKee at 815-440-5289 or llstevens16@yahoo.com .

Or better yet, join us on Aug. 17 at the Kickapoo Mud Creek Nature Conservancy located at 1919 N. Limekiln Road in Oregon for our first meeting of the new school year.

Our local youth is our future… help us make it the brightest future we can.

Summer reading donors thanked Dear Editor, The Mt. Morris Public Library Summer Reading Program has come to an end for this summer.

We would like to thank everyone who made this year’s program a success.

We had wonderful programs from Ms. Sheridan and Mr. Eckardt, the Pinecrest Ding-a-lings, Alana and Alexis’ dance party, Joel’s drum circle, and Dan Coutts and Bruce Denton. Each was different and all were fun.

This year we were fortunate to receive grants from the Illinois Arts Council Agency and Dollar General.

With the Arts Council Grant, we were able to have performer Rick Rayburn here for our final party.

The Dollar General Summer Reading Program grant enabled us to buy much needed supplies and materials.

The Kiwanis and Homemakers Forever both gave gifts that helped with the purchase of materials and gift books.

We also want to thank Pizza Hut for the gift certificates.

During the past year we have been given donations of materials and money for the Summer Reading Program.

We appreciate the generosity and support of the community.

Business owners request extended liquor hours

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Five Oregon businesses expressed support for increasing Sunday liquor sales in the community Tuesday night during the Economic Community Development Committee meeting.

Patrick Wiesner, an owner of Father and Son, asked about the possibility of increasing the hours for not only his business but for all businesses.

Wiesner contacted

owners and representatives from SuperValu, Breakers, Messies, and Ten Pennies were represented along with Father and Son during the meeting.

“This is something that can help us,” said Wiesner.

Currently liquor may be sold from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m.

Monday through Saturday and noon-11 p.m. on Sunday.

Wiesner said the noon start on Sunday hurts sales for businesses serving liquor because patrons want to be settled in before Sunday sports begin. For the grocery store he said the earlier sales

benefit campers and residents looking to purchase liquor before events.

“I am requesting the change to be 9 a.m. on Sundays,” said Wiesner. “There are a plethora of benefits for businesses and tourists.”

In addition to earlier Sunday hours, Wiesner said the business owners would like to see extended evening hours on holiday weekends — Labor Day, Memorial Day, and Fourth of July.

This would allow the business to be open from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. on a Sunday before a federal holiday on

Monday.

Jim Kauffman, owner of SuperValu, said in the past, the city has made exceptions for some holidays.

“There should be wording for these holidays,” he said.

Committee member Andrew Dettman, Oregon Library Director, asked if other communities had similar hours.

“It varies from 6 a.m. on Sundays to not at all,” Wiesner said.

“It seems to make sense,” said committee member Aaron Sitze, an Oregon School District teacher. “Cons

would be the traditional moral sensibilities.”

Sitze said the economic impact of earlier sales would be greater.

“It makes sense to not turn away business,” said John von Tish, Chamber of Commerce representative.

One owner said he has heard from campers that do not want to return because they have to go to Byron to purchase liquor on Sundays because that city has earlier sale hours.

“No doubt there is an economic impact for this,” said city commissioner Terry

Schuster, who is a member of the committee. “We can retain business.”

The committee agreed that this is something the city should look into.

Oregon Mayor Ken Williams, who is also the city liquor commissioner, said this was the input he needed to make a decision on liquor hours.

He said an ordinance change could be brought before the city council Aug. 11 for a discussion.

“I need to put something together,” Williams said.

“You did what I needed.”

Program helps young girls to be Inner Strong Day camp was held for girls in 4th-6th grades

By Sarah Zuniga Correspondent Project Inner Strong, a free program through the Oregon School District, took place recently for girls entering fourth, fifth, and sixth grades.

“This is a day camp designed for girls to help them feel good about who they are on the inside and stop caring necessarily about what they aren’t on the outside,” said Kelly Albrecht, who is a counselor at Oregon Elementary School..

Every day of the program, held July 20-24, had a different theme, such as “Strong is Beautiful” and “Strong Careers.” Different guest speakers were featured on each day as well.

“We had some really great guest speakers, and they really volunteered their time to come; some drove a long distance to come, and I’ve been very appreciative of all the help that I’ve gotten

and all the volunteers,” said Albrecht.

Albrecht founded the idea of Project Inner Strong, and, with the help of Oregon High School counselor Shannon Cremeens and David L. Rahn Junior High counselor Joanna Cermak, was able to make the program happen.

“I sort of came up with the idea and then I went to them, and they helped me sort of get it together and gave me suggestion on what I needed to do,” Albrecht said.

Female students from Oregon High School also assisted with the program.

Allyse Ketter, an incoming junior, said she and the others were chosen to help because they were seen as strong female role models at school.

“It was a really cool experience to help with the program, because you were able to see all of the participants grow as individuals throughout the week and really learn about themselves,” said Ketter.

“Overall, I thought the whole program went great, and it’s awesome that the qualities of being innerstrong are being taught to the girls at a young age.”

Inner Strong

Above, The girls from Project Inner Strong learned about ways to build their selfconfidence and selfesteem though their inner strengths rather than their physical characteristics. The five-day long program was held at Oregon Elementary School.

At left, participants display the back of their t-shirts. Each girl wrote a characteristic about themselves that makes them innerstrong, such as being creative or having good leadership skills. Photos by Sarah Zuniga.

Meet teachers at the junior high Aug. 12 The staff at David L. Rahn (DLR) Junior High School invite all parents or guardians and students to “Meet the Teacher Night” on Wednesday, Aug. 12 in the gym from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Only students accompanied by a parent or guardian will be permitted to attend.

Students and parents or guardians will be given an informational packet, including the student’s schedule. Kip Crandall, principal, will give a short welcome.

During the open house

parents and students will be able to explore to see where classes will be located, find restrooms and the cafeteria.

They will also have time to locate lockers to practice opening them.

PE uniforms will be on sale in the cafeteria. Students will be able to purchase uniforms the first week of school during PE class.

Students can also take school supplies to leave in their lockers, to make their first day easier.

Restoration Work is Underway

Andrezij Dajnowski, director of Conservation of Sculptures and Objects Studio, Forest Park, points to one of the cracks in the head of the Black Hawk Statue. Photo by Earleen Hinton

From A1 “The worst thing was the injections that were done before,” said Mlynarczyk.

“They hold the water in and it makes a waterproof coat.

It is also a beautiful place for the spiders.”

Mlynarczyk said the people that did previous restorations should have asked for other opinions before doing the work.

Andrzej Dajnowski, director of Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio, Inc., was hired to lead the efforts to conserve the statue.

He pointed out numerous cracks and damage to the statue during a tour of the work site.

“You do not see many things from the ground,” Dajnowski said. “There are numerous repairs and many many lines you do not see from down below. No one can see that from the ground.”

For example, the statue’s head has been repaired numerous times over the years.

“This entire section (right side of the face) was resurfaced, but it is bonded really well,” he said. “It could have been done when the sculpture was cast. You can see the lines of the repairs on the side of the head.”

The repairs were clearly two colors, one darker and one lighter.

“There were two different materials used to repair the statue,” Dajnowski said.

“At some point the top of the head got damaged by lightning and was recreated and restored.”

This damage occurred in the early 1940s.

The area between that repair and the old statue has large cracks and some missing pieces that will have to be replaced.

“These cracks on the nose were injected with epoxy during a previous repair,” he said. “We will fill the gap which is an eight of an inch wide.”

The larger pieces will require more planning and discussion about how to proceed.

“We will have to deal with these,” said Dajnowski while pointing to a missing piece of concrete near the hairline on the forehead. “This is going to be somewhat tricky to repair.”

Designed by Chicago sculptor Lorado Taft,

How You Can Help Checks for the restoration project 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. the statue was poured in December of 1910 and unveiled and dedicated in 1911 as a tribute to all Native Americans.

It stands on a high bluff overlooking the Rock River and draws thousands of visitors each year.

Black Hawk was made in two pieces. The head was elevated and cast separately.

“The sculpture has details and Taft did something smart,” said Dajnowski. “He translated color into positive and negative space.”

He said this makes it so the statue has depth when being viewed.

The sculpture is 48 feet tall and the head is about six feet tall, which is in proportion to the entire figure.

Dajnowski said most sculptures have a head that is an eighth or a seventh of the statue’s height.

The statue was encased in

plastic mesh for the winter to protect it from further damage from cold, ice, and snow.

The protective covering has been left in place, Dajnowski said, because it is also rain-proof.

Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, the statue was named to a less desirable list earlier this year.

Landmarks Illinois placed it on its list of Most Endangered Historic Places

in April.

Because it is located in a state park, the statue is under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

The cost of the restoration is estimated at $825,000, of which nearly $750,000 has been raised by the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, headed up by Frank and Cherron Rausa, Rock Falls, through donations, grants, and fundraisers.

Rodeo clowns and catch men assist the cowboys From A1 safety role during a rodeo.

“There are three categories of rodeo clowns — comedy clown, bull fighter and barrel men,” said Schappacher.

“The bull fighter is a young guy. I do the comedy routines between the riders.”

Schappacher started clowning in 1975 and has earned four championships for clowning comedy acts.

He travels throughout the United States and Canada for shows.

“This is the best job because I get paid to have fun and I get to make people laugh,” he said. “In school they said clowning around does not go very far. Little did they know.”

The clowns assist the catch men, cowboys on horses that assist with rounding up the animals and keeping the participants safe.

During the bull fights bull fighter Blaine Lamb, Archville, Tennessee, was seen distracting the bulls when the bucked off riders got up and ran to safety.

For one rider this night, Lamb and the catch men were put to the test.

“I needed to keep the bull away from him and I put my life on the line for them,” said Lamb. “You need to get that bull away from the injured rider. You learn how to distract the bull. Sometimes this is a big job.”

Lamb ran right at the bull when a rider was knocked out by a bull during a ride.

He did not hesitate to make sure the rider was not further injured.

Paramedics from the Mt. Morris Fire Department rushed into the arena to assist the cowboy who was fortunately able to stand up and walk out under his own power before being evaluated further.

With the scare over, the rodeo continued to thrill fairgoers with wild bull riding and quick roping demonstrations.

Local rider Kyle Vanderleest, Morrison, was riding his horse Mule during the tie down roping competition.

He finished with a time of 14.2 seconds which was slower then he would have liked.

“Mule ran hard tonight but the calf ran harder then I thought,” said Vanderleest.

“Once I got him down I tied him quick.”

The rodeo also featured a first time rider.

Sixteen-year-old Lauren Finch, DeKalb, was entering her first rodeo.

“This is my first time, I normally do mounted shooting and not racing,” she said. “My dad signed me up tonight, I did not. I will have fun and try my best.”

Finch was riding her quarter horse Skip, while competing in barrel racing.

This is a competition where the participants ride around a series of barrels for the

quickest time.

Before each grandstand event the newly crowned Miss Ogle County Whitney Felker, Byron, thanked people for attending the fair.

She participated in the queen pageant July 29.

“I am very excited to be the queen,” she said. “It was an awesome experience getting to know everyone. I am handing out ribbons at all of the events during the fair.”

Felker graduated from Byron High School and will attend Highland Community College in the fall.

She is looking forward to the parades she will attend.

Felker will participate in the state queen pageant in January.

Throughout the fair Felker was enjoying seeing the animals being shown by the 4-Hers.

“The goats are cute. I want to take one home,” she said.

Some of the most interesting animal judging occurred during the costume division.

Rabbits were decked out with wool coats or as a plate or lasagna during that show and chickens were dressed up in another show.

The entire Conderman family participated in the costume division of the chicken show July 31. Carter, 11, was the Swedish Chef, Collin, 14, was a chicken, and Caison, 9, was a prison inmate.

This category is a fun way for the 4-Hers to end judging by showing creativity with their animals.

Free carnival rides were busy each day during the fair and a variety of free shows were held daily.

One of these shows was a roping, whip, and gun demonstration by Dan Mink, Jerome, Idaho.

“The people are willing to have fun and are helpful at this fair,” said Mink.

“Everyone is coming up to me after the show to ask about the tricks.”

During the show Mink spins and flips guns.

“The guns that are flipped around have never been loaded,” he said. “Gun safety is important. We are up here playing games with guns and we are telling the kids to not pick up guns. The guns I am using are not loaded during the spinning tricks.”

When Mink fires a gun, they are loaded with blanks that he makes himself.

“Even the blanks are dangerous,” he said Mink.

“When we load these guns I am not showing off, and the muzzles are never pointed at any one.”

This is the 20th year Mink has been doing shows. He started with rope tricks before moving on to whips and guns.

Each day of the fair featured weather in the 80s with sunny skies. There were crowds of people every day and the grandstands were full for each event.

Sports Column Alumni football event indication of school spirit

By Andy Colbert Reporter In recent years, high school sports have begun to lose a sense of community as the practice of an athlete transferring to another school has proliferated.

It’s affecting the fairness of interscholastic sports and is a major headache for the IHSA. A huge portion of the IHSA workload is determining whether each transfer is

legit or not, as parents and their children have opted for athletic opportunities instead of academic pursuits.

Certain prep programs throughout the state have become thrown-together allstar squads.

In the Big Northern, critics claim Rockford Lutheran is guilty of this.

There have even been rumblings about asking them to leave to conference.

It’s not just a private school issue, though. A well-researched piece in the Rockford Register Star focused on the unusually high rate of transfers that the Rockford Auburn basketball team has.

You’re Invited!

Customer Appreciation

Cookout Friday, August 14th, 2015

The article also gave example after example of other questionable transfers at various other schools.

The corruptive nature of this practice has threatened one of the last bastions of society – pure athletic rivalries between communities or specific school districts.

For these rivalries to have any validity or substance, they must be based on local talent, not on outside ringers.

That is why Forreston’s road to the state tournaments last year in football and basketball was so intriguing.

Another example will be on display this Friday at Landers-Loomis Field in Oregon. That is when former Hawks will play an alumni football game.

It’s a tall task to pull together an alumni team. A person has to have a strong

allegiance to his town and school to participate.

Oregon has quite a roster of names from the past that are returning to put on the chinstrap one more time.

About 35 players will be on display for our entertainment value.

Thanks to each of you for making the commitment.

Credit needs to go to Corey Fry, a 2000 Hawk graduate, for organizing this endeavor.

He’s even reached out to former band members and cheerleaders, making this more than just about football.

He’s also done the legwork to line up announcers, chain gang, have fireworks and set up team practices.

Lately, it’s been like a second job for him.

But, it’s a love of labor to give back to the town he

It’s doubtful a transfer would ever go to such lengths.

Corey probably won’t be awarded the Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year for his efforts at making this a community wide event, but guys like him are what make our town special.

More than 500 tickets have been sold, a telltale sign that high school sports still matter in Oregon and Mt. Morris.

Every single one of those Hawk boosters at LandersLoomis will feel a part of the community and support the players as ardently as if they were still in high school.

Green and yellow shine on at John Deere’s Iron Days

By Earleen Hinton ehinton@oglecounty news.com The field of green and yellow was a lot brighter at the John Deere Historic Site last weekend as a wide variety of antique John Deere tractors took part in Green Iron Days.

Antique tractors made for orchards, fields, lawns and even an airstrip were on display during the popular event held at the Grand Detour homestead of John Deere—inventor of the first self-scouring steel plow nearly 178 years ago.

Sunny skies and 85 degree temps on Sunday welcomed visitors to the site as it celebrates its 51st anniversary in 2015.

Visitors could also learn about Deere’s early life in Illinois touring his home and the excavation site of his original blacksmith shop where he forged his plows before winding their way past the green and yellow machines whose owners were more than willing to talk about their tractors.

“I came to this about 1012 years ago and when I heard they were having it this weekend I just had to make the trip down here,” said Bill Person, Stillman Valley as we walked by a vintage John Deere corn picker.

A couple of rows to the south, Ed Wesemann, age 89,

from Hampshire, tinkered with his 1931 GP John Deere before she shot out a small burst of smoke and ran like it was 1932.

“I’ve had this tractor since 1963 when I bought it for $75,” said Wesemann. “Ray Maynard was an Oliver dealer and he got it in trade and I bought it after I saw it while I was driving by.

“He told me that if I hadn’t a bought it that day he would have taken it right down to the junkyard where he would have gotten $50 for Under the watchful eye of his dad, Tracy, Maverick Ehterington, age 8, Russiaville, Indiiana, drives his dad’s 1938A John the iron in it,” Wesemann Deere tractor at the John Deere Historic Site’s Green Iron Days in Grand Detour on Sunday.

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 specifically licensed 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))
