By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Celebrate “An Old-Fashioned 4th of July” with food, fireworks, music, and family activities at Mt. Morris’ 53rd annual Let Freedom Ring Festival July 2-4.

“The fireworks are always a highlight, and we have lots of free entertainment,” said LFR Committee Chairman Mark Lewis.

“Several bands will be performing throughout the weekend.”

The long-range forecast was promising with mild temperatures and fair skies predicted for the holiday weekend.

“We’re hoping for good weather, and right now it’s looking pretty good,” Lewis said.

Festival events began Wednesday

evening with the crowning of the 2016 LFR Queen.

Four high school seniors, Anastasia Gordon, Lani Morris, Sarah Palmer, and Sydne Robinson, are seeking the honor of reigning over the annual Let Freedom Ring Festival.

Most events are planned Saturday, July 2 through Monday, July 4.

Activities centered around the Mt. Morris downtown square are free and family-oriented and are paid for by LFR Committee fundraisers and donations.

Several events are planned especially for kids, Lewis said, including the kiddie parade and water fights on Saturday.

“We also have inflatables,” he said. “We were able to get them at

the last minute.”

Local group offers help to community

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com Six years ago five people put their heads together to see what they could do for Mt. Morris.

“We weren’t sure what we were going to do, but we were going to save Mt. Morris,” said Sally Gray, one of the five.

What Gray and the others — Linda Straith, Madeline Nelson, Carol Deemer, and Jeff Bold — came up with is the Rural Community Pavilion (RCP), a non-profit organization that offers a variety of educational workshops and other resources for local residents and organizations.

Some of their most valuable workshops have been about writing a resume and filling out job applications and more recently, how to write successful grant applications.

“We give people tools and our experience so they can move forward,” said Deemer, who grew up in Mt. Morris.

Back in 2010 when the brainstorming began, Gray said, Watt Publishing Company had already left town, Kable News Company had drastically cut back its Mt. Morris operations, and the huge Quad Graphics printing plant was on the brink of closing.

“We came together to explore options because we know things were going to change,” Deemer said.

“Somewhere along the line reality hit, and we started looking for resources,” said Nelson, who is a friend and colleague of Deemer.

RCP was incorporated in 2011 and provides its services at no cost.

At first Gray said, they weren’t sure what the focus would be,

In This Week’s Edition...

Church News, A5 Classifieds, B6-B10 College News, A7 Entertainment, A6

but education soon moved to the forefront.

Jobs had disappeared not only in Mt. Morris, but across the area, Deemer said, and that’s when they decided to do workshops on creating resumes, filling out job applications, and being ready for job interviews.

“Some didn’t know how to apply for a job online,” Straith said. “Some didn’t know how to use a computer.”

They offered short courses on those topics and more.

“We were successful,” Straith said. “Many went on to find better jobs.”

The group of five had considerable knowledge and experience to draw on.

Gray is a retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel and has studied social clinical psychology and community development.

Straith has been a surgical nurse doing heart transplants, a real estate broker, substitute teacher, did payroll, and speaks seven languages.

Deemer has been a college-level instructor, English as a Second Language teacher, and a community organizer.

Nelson’s background includes educational administration, research director, librarian, and newspaper reporter.

She and Deemer have both worked at Northern Illinois University, DeKalb.

RCP’s goals are to provide Mt. Morris and the surrounding area with academic support, adult training and mentoring, community organizing, and facilitate discussions.

“We try to do what people need help with,” Deemer said.

An Oregon man has been charged after a June 24 boating accident that took the life of a Rockford woman.

Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) spokesman Chris Young said Monday that Marc Mongan, 46, has been charged with operating a watercraft while under the influence of alcohol and reckless operation of a watercraft.

Mongan, who is the owner of Oregon Healthcare Pharmacy Services Inc., is scheduled to appear in Ogle County Court on July 15 for arraignment.

Megan M. Wells, 31, was pronounced dead at Swedish American Hospital, Rockford, after the johnboat Mongan was operating struck a pontoon boat in which she was a passenger on the Rock River three miles north of Oregon.

Young said Wells, the mother of three, was thrown overboard in the collision, which occurred at 8:40 p.m.

The Oregon ambulance transported her to the hospital.

An autopsy performed by the Winnebago County Coroner’s office Monday showed Wells died from blunt force trauma to her chest.

Ogle County Sheriff Police said Nicholas Lamb, 29, Oregon, a passenger in the johnboat, was transported by Stillman Valley ambulance to Rockford Memorial Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Other occupants of the pontoon boat were David Daily, 52, Leaf River; Phillip Lukes, 52, Chicago; and Sherry Bushre, 59, Chicago.

They refused treatment at the scene.

Mongan also refused treatment.

The accident investigation, which remains ongoing, was turned over to the IDNR Conservation Police.

RCP’s grant writing workshops drew crowds From A1 The grant writing workshops were scheduled at Pinecrest Grove’s Community Center after local organizations and agencies voiced a need.

“Organizations were saying ‘money has dried up, it’s very hard to get a grant, but still we need money,’” Nelson said.

The people who participated in the workshops included officials from local cities and villages, mental health agencies, hospitals, libraries, and senior centers.

“I think what surprised us was the range of people who came,” Nelson said.

Matching the agencies with grant funds was the main goal

of the workshops, but one of the other outcomes, Deemer said, was that the participants discovered how they could assist each other.

This spring, RCP hosted a class from NIU who were studying the principles of advertising.

RCP acted as the client for the students’ final projects.

The students — some of whom came from the inner city — toured the Mt. Morris area on field trips.

The class was divided into eight groups and each had to develop an ad campaign tailored for RCP. For more information, visit RCP’s website at www.rural pavilion.com.

marketing and annual giving.

“And if you enjoy visiting Pinecrest at Christmastime, Dick has played an instrumental role at each Christmas open house by making delicious homemade kettle corn.”

Stay safe with fireworks

Consumers at VOP wave as they get ready to take a cruise up the Rock River on the Pride of Oregon riverboat last summer. The trip is on of several day camp activities. Photo supplied

Donate for VOP day camps The Village of Progress, Oregon, is seeking donations to help cover the cost of day camp activities for its consumers.

VOP allows an average cost for consumer participation of $65 per day camper and is requesting community support to help with the funding of this long running recreational experience.

Since the Village of Progress began services to Ogle County adults with developmental disabilities, some form of summer camp experience has been offered to the men and women

enrolled in the programs.

In the 1970s and 80s week-long residential camps were held at the Stronghold and Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center (LOMC).

In the mid 1990s it changed from a residential camp to a format offering day trip activities throughout the summer.

The 2016 Day Camp Program will allow Village of Progress consumers to participate in outings which may include activities such as fishing, boat rides, field trips of area interests, and cookouts.

For more than 40 years the summer camp offerings have provided VOP consumers a social, recreational and learning opportunity not otherwise available to most of the individuals who participate.

For many, the day camps are the only vacation they will know.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution is asked to mail their gift to Village of Progress, Box 418, Oregon IL 61061.

Any contribution to the day camp program, regardless of the amount, will be appreciated.

First Fridays in Mt. Morris First Fridays for July will be on July 1 at Mt. Morris’ Pinecrest Grove, starting at 6 p.m.

Musicians sign-up starts at 5:30 p.m.

The musical format will remain unchanged. After the individual performances, all of the musicians will gather on stage for a jam session to wrap up the evening’s festivities.

Musicians from across Northern Illinois, and often neighboring states, appear on a regular basis.

The music often described as New Folk or Americana is varied and includes country, bluegrass, blues, folk, mountain soul, gospel, soft rock, and eclectic mixes of all of the above.

Instruments are all acoustic and a professional sound

system by Kent Anders is supplied.

Participation is encouraged so bring an instrument and join the show, or kick back and listen to the music.

Admission is by free will donation. All are invited.

First Fridays is a part of Northern Illinois’ Friday night music scene along with Second Fridays in Lanark, Third Fridays in Franklin Grove, a new Fourth Friday at the Dixon Senior Center, and special Fifth Friday shows (when they occur) in Franklin Grove.

Pinecrest Grove Community Center is located six blocks south of Ill. 64 on McKendrie Street in Mt. Morris.

A parking lot is on the north side, with an overflow lot on the west side of PGCC.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) are reminding organizations and individuals sponsoring fireworks displays in Illinois to be sure their fireworks vendor has the required state licenses and certificates issued by the IDNR and the OSFM prior to their fireworks show.

The Illinois Explosives Act requires that anyone who purchases, possesses, uses, transfers, stores or disposes of explosives, including display fireworks, must have an explosives license and explosives storage certificate issued by the IDNR. Licensing and storage requirements administered by the IDNR do not apply to Consumer Fireworks (classified as 1.4 explosives).

Approved Consumer Fireworks are regulated by the OSFM and are permitted only in villages, counties and municipalities that have passed ordinances allowing such displays.

Consumer fireworks may be purchased and displayed only by adults who have

obtained permits from their local jurisdiction.

Hand held fireworks, including firecrackers, roman candles, and bottle rockets are not approved for sale or use in Illinois.

The Illinois Explosives Act is administered by the IDNR Office of Mines and Minerals’ Explosives and Aggregate Division.

The division is staffed by trained and experienced blasting specialists located throughout Illinois.

In addition to requiring comprehensive licensing, training and examination for individuals, the law requires that unattended display fireworks and explosives must be stored in an explosives magazine, storage facility or container that is inspected and certified by IDNR. IDNR currently has approximately 1,000 individuals licensed for the use of display fireworks.

In addition, IDNR has certified nearly 150 explosive storage magazines specifically for the storage of display fireworks.

Anyone possessing, using,

transferring or purchasing display fireworks without a valid IDNR individual explosives license or storage certificate is violating Illinois law and could incur penalties.

A violation of the Illinois Explosives Act can be a Class 3 felony, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

In addition, the IDNR can assess administrative fines for violations involving display fireworks and other explosives.

Emergency responders are reminded to contact IDNR and the OSFM immediately with reports of personal injury or property damage resulting from the use of explosives, including display fireworks.

To report an explosives incident or accident concerning display fireworks, the public should contact the IDNR Office of Mines and Minerals Explosives and Aggregate Division at 217-782-9976 and the Office of the State Fire Marshal at 217-7850969.

during the training and 60 hours volunteer service within two years to become certified.

To remain active in the program, an additional 30 hours of volunteer service and 10 hours of continuing education must be completed yearly.

In 2015, University of Illinois Extension Master Naturalists, in Boone, DeKalb and Ogle Counties, volunteered over 2,275 hours of stewardship for parks, forest preserves, and other partners.

Fair baskets are available for $45 The Ogle County Fair Queen pageant will once again offer a basket to purchase in support of the 2016 fair queen pageant.

“This year we’re not only excited about having a basket to offer, but even greater it’s handcrafted in our home state of Illinois,” said pageant coordinator Deanna Simpson.

Judy Hogdin, Apple River, who started making baskets 30 years ago, is creating a basket especially for the pageant.

It has five divided spaces with one section large enough to hold a large paper plate, and four additional sections to hold silverware and napkins.

The basket measures eight inches wide, 12 inches long, and five and three-fourths

inches high, and the fold away handle adds to that.

The base and dividers are of solid wood construction, and the basket is stained in a medium brown to compliment it’s design.

Each basket will have a commemorative tag and will be numbered as in years past.

The baskets cost $45 each.

To order a basket contact Sharon Alderks, 907 N. Skare Rd.,Chana, IL 61015.

For more information call her at 815-645-1015.

“Once again, thank you for your valued support of the Ogle County Fair and the 2016 Fair Queen Pageant,” Simpson said. “We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at this year’s Ogle County Fair on Aug. Baskets like this one are being sold for $45 to support the Ogle County Fair Queen pageant.

Oregon library receives Albert Schmidt painting

By Beth Simeone Judith Greene Shepard of Winona, Minnesota, visited the Oregon Public Library last week to present an Albert H. Schmidt painting.

Schmidt was one of the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony members and in 1910 had a one man show of nearly 80 landscape paintings in the new Art Room (not yet dedicated as the Eagle’s Nest Gallery). He was an early student of John H. Vanderpoel and Charles F. Browne at the Art Institute, later studying at the Academy Julian in Paris.

Moving to New Mexico in 1921, Schmidt became

one of “The New Mexico Painters� in the Santa Fe Art Colony. His early landscapes were treasured by Oregon citizens for their Impressionistic style of familiar Rock River scenes. The painting belonged to Judy’s grandmother, Mabel Etnyre Mather who grew up in Oregon and was the daughter of Charles D. Etnyre. Mr. Etnyre, well known for his community service, was a founder of the Oregon Library and pursued building the 1908 Carnegie Library. In all, he served on the Oregon Library Board nearly four decades.

During her visit, Judy also donated historic letters, books and photos for the library archives.

The items were gifted on behalf of herself and her siblings: Gordon Mather Greene, Spring Green, Wisconsin, and Katherine Greene Ball, Aurora, Illinois. She commented that the Schmidt painting and artifacts had traveled through four generations and it was now “time to bring these things back home�.

They were accepted by Director Andy Dettman with appreciation for their significance to the Eagle’s Nest Art Collection history and archives.

Andy Dettman, left, director of the Oregon Public Library, accepts a painting from Judith Greene Shepard of Winona, Minnesota. The painting is by Albert H. Schmidt, who was a member of the Eagle’s Nest Art Colony in the early 1900s. The painting belonged to Shepard’s grandmother who grew up in Oregon. Photo supplied.

Grand jury indicts three on drug delivery charges SLANT did the investigation

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.ocm An Ogle County Grand Jury indicted three Rochelle residents on drug delivery charges June 22 after a months-long investigation by the Stateline Area Narcotics Task Force (SLANT).

Franky L. Martinez, 38, Bailey J. Gildea, 21, and Shelli A. Delatorre, 48, were taken into custody last week and are being held at the Ogle County Jail.

Martinez has been charged with delivery of a controlled

substance (heroin), a class 1 felony.

His bond was set at $50,000.

He was also arrested on a failure to appear warrant for several charges with a bond set at $15,896.97.

Judge Kathleen Kauffmann appointed public defender Dennis Riley June 24 to represent Martinez in court.

According to Ogle County court records, Martinez has a lengthy criminal history.

Gildea has been charged with delivery of a controlled substance (cocaine), a class X felony.

His bond was originally set at $50,000, but was reduced to $25,000 Monday during a court appearance before

Judge Robert Hanson.

Delatorre has been charged with two counts of delivery of a controlled substance (heroin), both are Class X felonies.

Her bond was originally set at $15,000, but Hanson reduced it to $5,000 during a Monday court appearance.

Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow said Gildea and Delatorre were charged with Class X felonies because the crimes they are charged with took place in a drug free zone.

SLANT consists of officers from the Ogle County Sheriff ’s Department, Rochelle and Loves Park Police Departments, and the Illinois State Police.

Please don’t put non-recyclables into recycling bins

By Reita Nicholson Administrative Assistant Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department Summer is in full swing and the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) has observed an increase in use of its’ five recycling drop-off bins.

The combination of good weather, graduation parties, and backyard BBQ’s help to generate more waste, a lot of which is recyclable.

These bins are located in the following communities.

Byron: 6845 N. German Church Rd.; Forreston: Ash St., near City Public Works; Monroe Center: Mulford

Road, south of Ill. 72; Oregon: Ogle County Farm Bureau lot; and Rochelle: Big R lot.

The Orchard Hills Landfill also operates a recycling bin at 8290 Ill. 251 in Davis Junction and Moring Disposal operates a recycling bin in Polo at Franklin Street and Locust Street.

In order to keep costs down and to be able to continue to provide this service to Ogle County residents, the OCSWMD reminds users of these recycling bins to avoid contamination of the recyclable materials, which means avoid placing items which are not recyclable into the bins.

Bins are for residential use only and for people who do not have curb-side recycling pick-up.

The bins are not intended for business use.

Items found so far this year in and around the recycling bins that are not recyclable include lumber, sliding glass doors, televisions, gas cans, fire extinguishers, gutters, aluminum siding, PVC piping, fencing, pool filters, windows, a fish tank, furniture, clothing and shoes, shower doors, curtain rods, toys, and household trash.

Adding these items to the bins adds cost to the program since they are transported to

the recycling facility then disposed of at a landfill.

The OCSWMD is charged a hauling fee each time the container is emptied. The materials being recycled currently have no value due to the depression of the commodities’ prices.

Contamination also causes the bins to fill up faster.

Those that use the drop-off recycling program regularly know how frustrating it can be to find the container full when dropping off items to

be recycled.

The only items accepted for recycling in these bins include unbroken glass bottles and jars, plastic containers labeled #1-5 and #7, aluminum and steel cans, and paper products such as cardboard, office/ school paper, newspaper, magazines, phone books, paperboard containers, greeting cards, and gift wrap.

Do not place bags of shredded paper into the bins, it does not get recycled. Do not place soiled paper or cardboard into the bins, it is contaminated and does not get recycled, items like pizza boxes and paper plates should be placed in the trash.

When using the recycling

bins, please remember to flatten all cardboard boxes, crush plastic jugs and replace caps, use the push stick to make more room in the bin, and do not leave items on the deck or around the bin.

Bins are emptied usually twice a week, but call the OCSWMD at 815-732-4020 if a bin is full and a pick-up will be arranged in a timely manner.

These bins are for residential use only and for people who do not have curb-side recycling pick-up.

The bins are not intended for business use.

Enjoy your summer and happy recycling, and remember, if in doubt, leave it out.
