LIGHTS FOR LIBERTY

Indivisible joins Lights for Liberty vigil Local marchers protest treatment of migrants

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com

About a dozen members of Indivisible: Oregon/Mt. Morris joined hundreds of others July 12 as part of a nationwide protest over the treatment of migrants.

The group held signs and marched along Illinois 64 in Mt. Morris in the early evening to do their part for Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps, an event geared to particularly bring attention to conditions at detention facilities at the U.S.-Mexico border and to advocate for changes to this nation’s immigration policy.

Similar events were planned around the U.S., as well as other nations.

“Anyone who acknowledges the Creator recognizes hospitality as an imperative,” said marcher Steven Opalka.

“Failure to provide hospitality is a transgression.”

The sign he was carrying read, “More plates, not locked gates.”

Another participant Glen Majewski said he teaches immigrant children.

“It breaks my heart that these children would be taken away from their families and locked in cages. It’s evil and it’s wrong,” he said.

“We’re all outraged about what’s going on at detention centers,” said Mary Francis, a member of Indivisible.

Julie Mastny, another participant, said she hopes legislators will put politics aside and take action.

“We want our representatives to come together and figure this out,” she said.

The marchers drew mixed reactions from passing motorists. Some honked and gave them the thumbs up.

According to the Liberty Vigil website, vigils were planned in hundreds of cities. Big cities and small towns participated, and at least one event was planned in every state in the U.S. as well as five continents.

“We may be the smallest, but we’re not the only one,” said marcher Denise

Cheek, a retired elementary teacher.

Locally, a group in DeKalb also participated in the protest.

More than 700 events planned around the country, including El Paso, Texas, San Diego, California, Homestead, Florida, Washington D.C., New York, New York, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ashland, Oregon, Chattanooga, Tennessee, St. George, Utah, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Juneau, Alaska.

SPECIAL EVENT

Use your credit card at Ogle County Fair

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com Those attending the 166th Ogle County Fair July 31- Aug. 4 can bring less cash and more plastic.

For the first time this year, tickets at both the gate and grandstand can be purchased with a credit or debit card.

Fair board president Harlan Holm said the service was added for the convenience of fair-goers.

“Hopefully it will leave a little more

cash for them to buy food and other items at the fair,” he said.

In an effort to make the fair affordable for families, the fair board is again including unlimited carnival rides with the $8 general admission fee at the gate.

Admission tickets can be purchased in advance at a cost of $6 per person, a $2 discount from the gate price, at Casey’s General Store in Oregon, Polo, Stillman Valley, and Byron, and Mobil in Mt. Morris, and a few other loca-

tions.

Signs are posted designating where advance tickets are available.

Discounted tickets for the grandstand shows are also available in advance at the same locations, at a cost of $8 per person, also $2 less than the $10 regular price.

Children age 3 and younger get into the fair free but each will need a $4 wristband to ride at the carnival.

Wristbands are available at the gate.

VILLAGE BOARD

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com The village’s Water & Sewer Committee chairman would like to see ordinances tightened up for his department.

Mt. Morris Village Trustee Jeff Pennington told his fellow board members Tuesday that he wants to see water deposits upped from the current $40 to $100.

“This [the $40 fee] doesn’t even cover a minimum bill,” he said, adding that a minimum bill averages $70 per month.

The deposit is paid by new residents when they set up an account at the village hall for water and sewer service.

• FAIR Continued from Page 2

He said the unpaid bills create extra work for village clerk Paula Diehl, who then must try to locate the renter to collect the money.

Making the landlord responsible from the start “would eliminate a lot of headaches on the billing side,” he said.

Trustee Jerry Stauffer questioned why the village can’t handle the situation the same way as other utility providers and just shut-off the service.

“ComEd and Nicor have deep pockets, and they don’t care,” said trustee Mike Fay. “We’re a small town.”

In some cases, Pennington said, the village can’t simply shut the water off because rental buildings

have just one shut-off valve, not one for each apartment.

“If we made the landlords responsible, it doesn’t matter how many meters [shut-offs] there are,” said village president Dan Elsasser.

In another matter, village resident Chris Corcoran told the board he believes the downtown building owned by Susan Penner should be demolished.

“I think it would be a waste of money to shore it up,” he said.

Corcoran said he also believes Penner should pay the demolition costs rather than the village.

The deteriorating building at 21 and 23 S. Wesley Ave. has been cordoned off for more than three months to protect the public.

an additional convenience fee.

A&A Carnival will again provide the rides as it has for the last seven years.

“They’re a good fit for our fair,” Holm said.

From the queen contest to livestock shows, the fair offers five days of fami-

ly entertainment that includes tractor pulls, a rodeo, demolition derby, and three free ground shows geared especially for kids.

4-H club members from across the county will have their projects on display. The project shows cover a wide array of topics from traditional

livestock, foods, and clothing to electricity, woodworking, and computer science.

The Ogle County Fairgrounds is on Lime Kiln Road, just north of Ill. 64 a mile west of Oregon.

The resident gets the money back when he or she moves out of town if the account is in good standing.

Pennington said he also wants an ordinance change that makes landlords responsible for paying water bills.

Currently landlords are responsible, he said, only when the tenant does not pay the bill. Landlords get monthly copies of their tenants’ bills but sometimes drag their feet about paying those that are in default.

Some landlords already have the bills come to them, he said, and include the cost in the rent they charge.

“We’ve had some fly-by-night renters who leave the village stuck for their water bills,” Pennington said.

“As a singer, guitarist, bandleader, film actor, songwriter, and humorist, he may be RootsRock’s only true Renaissance man,” Ubben said.

Wilder’s engaging personality led him to become one of America’s first Satellite DJs on XM Radio. He’s now the host of the Americana Countdown show on WMOT radio/Nashville.

St. Brides Episcopal Church,

of Oregon, will serve barbecue sandwiches, baked beans, chips, drinks, and a dessert at 6 p.m.

Several other food and craft vendors will likely be on site, as well, including Jen’s Artisan Breads, featuring many different varieties of delicious fresh baked bread.

The Fine Art Show at the Encore Art Gallery continues from 6 to 9:30 p.m. next door on the first floor of Old Sandstone featuring nearly 50 pieces in a variety of mediums from many local artists on the theme “The Road Not Taken.”

Come uptown early to visit the Mt. Morris Community Farmers Market, open from 4 to 7 p.m. at the corner of Illinois 64 and Wesley Avenue.

In the event of rain, the show moves to the Moose Lodge at 101 Moose Drive at the same times.

FUNDRAISER AT COUNTY FAIR

Take a chance to win 65� TV and help raise funds for horse barn The Ogle County Horse Barn Committee will sell raffle tickets for a 65-inch TV at its Build-aBarn booth on the Ogle County Fairgrounds during the fair July 31 through Aug. 4.

The drawing for the TV, donated by Exelon Generation, will be held on Oct. 13 during the committee’s Spooktacular Horse Expo, a two-day event at the fairgrounds. Another donor has issued a Matching Funds Challenge for the barn. This donor will match dollar for dollar up to $2,000, for all donations made during the 2019 Ogle County Fair. Many donors have sponsored events and classes in horse shows. The third annual Build-A-Barn

Ogle County Fair Show will be held on Sunday, Aug. 4 beginning at 9:30 a.m. with a full schedule of halter, performance, and speed classes.

Classes for draft horses and mini horses have been included this year. The Build-A-Barn committee is raising funds to build an exhibition horse barn at the fairgrounds. The barn and arena will be available for rent for various horse activities, which, in turn, will attract more people to the area, potentially bringing increased revenue for local merchants.

The exhibition stalls can be disassembled during the winter months, and the barn used for RV storage, increasing revenue for the fair association. To donate, sponsor classes, join the committee, or volunteer, contact Lynne Radville at shadowboxerarabians@gmail.com or Linda Schreiber at taffysbucky@gmail. com.

Ecology classes offered at White Pines State Park Sign up now for these classes offered by the UofI Extension Ecology is the science that studies the interactions and relationships that exist among living organisms and their environment.

A class studying those interactions is being offered by the University of Illinois Extension at White Pines State Park in August, September, October and November.

The goal for this class is to introduce, or reintroduce some key parts to ecology and use specific skills to reach conclusions in a field setting.

Skills such as observation, describing, generalizing to create a theory, inferring, concluding, classifying and of course measuring are all part of our everyday life but we will take it back to more of a science skill focus.

The concept of ecology is based on three major ideas: 1. Ecology of nutrition is the interaction between producers and consumers.

2. The cyclic flow of matter

through the planet’s environments such as water, carbon, and nitrogen along with others are recycled over and over again.

3. Energy keeps those cycles going.

All energy comes to the planet from the sun and leaves the planet in the form of heat.

Any changes or interruptions, natural or man-made, to these patterns or relationships can alter life on the planet.

It is important to understand the relationships of our natural areas, such as a conservation area, so we can relate larger scale situations in a scientific way with sound support.

The class will be held on Mondays from 10 a.m. to noon, on Aug. 19, Sept. 16, Oct. 14, and Nov. 4. The cost is $5.

Peggy Doty, Extension Educator, Energy and Environmental Stewardship will lead the classes. Registration is offered online at web. extension.illinois.edu/bdo “If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program, please contact our office at 8175-732-2191,” said Elizabeth Sosa, Extension Program Coordinator.

“Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting your access needs.”

T-shirts are guaranteed if registered by July 19th Registration will begin at 6:00 pm on Friday August 2nd Registration forms are available at Green’s Motor, Koeller Forreston Hardware, and the Hometown Days Facebook page

It was so, so, so fun!” Cherie Dietrich Lewison Dietrich said July 7 after all the Mt. Morris High School Class of 1969 50th reunion activities were over and everyone was headed home.

This was only one of the many excited comments made by classmates after having a such a great time.

The class of ‘69 celebrated years of memories from when they attended Mt. Morris Elementary School, Junior High and the four years at MMHS, 1965 to 1969.

Events began July 3 at the Mt. Morris Moose for the alumni dance.

The few who attended were greeted by a banner proclaiming the 50th reunion of the class of 1969.

Mark Lewis of MEL’S Graphic Designs of MM created the beautiful Mounder class banner which everyone enjoyed during the reunion activities.

July 4 started with the Firemen’s Breakfast cooked by members of Mt. Morris Fire Department at the Mt. Morris Firehouse.

Several classmates met at the station and others attended with family and friends.

As usual the firemen and many volunteers put on a tasty breakfast.

The turntable pancake griddle was a great hit. Eggs, pancakes, sausage, applesauce, muffins, and juice

HOUSE FIRE

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com No one was injured in a fire late Tuesday afternoon that destroyed the home of Al Koper at 2589 W. Oregon Trail Rd. With temperatures in the high 80s, firefighters from eight area departments battled the blaze.

Mt. Morris Fire Chief Rob Hough said the home was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived shortly after 4:30 p.m.

Still at the scene, Hough said that while the cause had not yet been determined the fire had likely started in the attached garage.

Koper and his daughter, and two granddaughters, who also reside in the home, were outside working in the yard when they discovered the fire and called 911.

The Kopers’ 4-H animals were not injured in the blaze.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

INTERNET PUPPY SCAMS!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

Visit the American Kennel Club website (www.akc.org) for tips on how to avoid getting scammed and to find a responsible dog breeder.

If you have been the victim of a scam, report it to your local authorities and your local BBB (www.bbb.org)

Establish what you want to accomplish and put a strategy in place. Partnerships affect how things unfold this year, making it essential that you work with your allies.

FRIDAY, JULY 19, 2019 CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Look over your personal documents and update anything that is overdue or could stop you from moving forward with your travel, educational or contractual plans.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A change at home may seem daunting at first, but once you start seeing results, you will discover that a transformation is what’s needed to improve your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Look for an investment you feel comfortable making. Use your strengths and knowledge to help you instead of depending on someone who may have a different agenda or motive than your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Think big, but don’t go overboard. A little will go a long way if you plan everything out and are prepared to do the work yourself. Don’t depend on others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- The most challenging situation to deal with will involve deception. When in doubt, ask questions. Trust in your judgment, not in hearsay. A personal change will turn out well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You know what’s expected of you and what you are capable of doing.

Be honest about what you are willing to do and put up with. Don’t fold; call the shots.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Bring it on. A can-do attitude will help you reach your goals, impress a loved one and forge a better future. Romance is on the rise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t change things midway. See matters through to the end before you start something new.

Inconsistency will not help you gain support. Keep your life simple and your plans doable.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you want to make a change, be prepared to do the work. Personal gains are within reach, and sharing your success with a loved one will have its rewards.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A journey that will teach you something new or give you information that helps you recognize your options should be taken. It’s up to you to do the legwork.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Keep your wits about you when dealing with emotional issues. Letting your anger take control will make you look bad.

Do something productive and be proud of what you accomplish.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Your charm will help you out when dealing with work-related matters.

Taking part in an interview or discussing a professional plan you have mapped out for yourself is favored.

Avoid indulgent people. ©2018 UFS
