Down along the railroad tracks at the north edge of Polo, an Oregon man is working to turn a former dumpsite into a fertile garden.

Greg Cotovsky, 42, is building a permaculture on two lots he purchased earlier this year at 504 and 506 Sunset Drive.

Once a spot where the city discarded concrete and bricks, these days city workers bring wood chips and leaves to the site to help Cotovsky rebuild topsoil.

Neighbors have also gladly chipped in with their leaves and grass clippings.

“It has been such a blessing to coordinate with the city to repurpose organic materials into rich soil,” Cotovsky said.

Permaculture, he explained, is based on sustainable practices, utilizing the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems.

It involves working with, rather than against nature.

“Whatever we can do to be sustainable in our communities can help out environment,” he said.

As he steadily grows topsoil, Cotovsky plans to also grow plants both for beauty and food.

He hopes to eventually rebuild the soil enough to support fruit trees. Just last week he planted several aronia berry bushes on a lower area of the property, fed by a natural spring.

All plants are chosen with an eye to what they can do for both the soil and the rest of the ecosystem.

“My favorite ornamental is red bee balm,” Cotovsky said. “Not only is it beautiful, it also attracts hummingbirds by the dozens.”

The heavy clay soil in the area needs to be amended with organic material, he said, and to that end he has planted Russian comfrey and others to “chop an drop.”

They are cut and left to decay on the spot, thereby enriching the soil.

“Russian comfrey is a powerhouse for someone who’s trying to build the soil,” he said.

Cotovsky is already seeing results with an increase in fungi and earthworms living in his enriched ground.

Near the back of the property is large bin, a raised bed called a hugelkultur.

It is built in layers, starting with logs on the bottom and then grass clippings.

There Cotovsky plans to grow vining plants such as cucumbers, hops, and grapes.

Part of permaculture, he said is using berms and swales to control the flow of water.

With a small wetland in the lower end of the property and two waterways running through it, Cotovsky sees great promise.

“Acquiring these properties is a great

THREAT AT SCHOOL

Teen taken into custody for making school threat

An Oregon teenager was taken into limited custody Sept. 25 after he apparently made threats of a school shooting on social media.

According to a press release fro Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan, the 15-year Oregon High School student has been charged with disorderly conduct and has been released to his parent’s custody.

“Based on the investigation we do not feel there was an immediate threat to students or staff,” DeHaan said in the statement.

Police were notified after students at David L. Rahn Junior High advised school staff that they had observed a social media post discussion on Snapchat the night before,

alluding to a threat of a school shooting by the student taken into custody.

The high school staff and school resource officer immediately began investigating the incident.

“We take these types of threats against the safety of our schools, staff, and students very seriously.

I would like to commend the student(s) who had the courage to speak up and bring this to the attention of school staff so the issue could be safely resolved,” DeHaan said.

The matter has been referred to Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow for a petition for juvenile delinquency.

FUNDRAISING SUPPER Spaghetti supper Oct. 5 The Oregon Fire Department will be the place to eat Saturday night during the 2018 Autumn on Parade festival.

On Saturday, Oct. 5, the department will host a spaghetti supper from 4-7

p.m. at the station, located at 100 West Washington Street.

Volunteer firefighters will serve the dinner in the main bay of the fire station.

Free will donations will be accepted for the supper which includes, spaghetti, salad, rolls, and beverages.

However, a college music theory class opened up his understanding of the structure of music and made it meaningful.

“I thought, ‘You mean there’s a method and an organization to music?’ That class unleashed everything for me, and suddenly I felt free and found expression through music,” he said.

Young attended Kishwaukee College and Illinois State University and majored in horticulture and agribusiness. Today he works as a water and wastewater specialist for Integrated Public Resources LLC, a firm based in Neenah, Wisconsin.

And he has been serving in churches since he was 24, when he began leading the contemporary service at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Oregon, where he continues to lead music at 9 a.m.

“We’re pleased to have Jamey and look forward to his many talents being used here,” said Lee Meyers, head of the OUMC staff/parish committee. “We think he will be an asset to the church and really help us minister to the community.”

Local musician Jamey Young will return to Oregon United Methodist Church as director of music ministry, beginning Oct. 13.

The church will also begin Sunday worship services at 10:15 a.m., starting Oct. 13, moving its Sunday school time to 9 a.m., said the congregation’s pastor Megan Smick.

“We’re very excited. We know Jamey brings some special gifts that will really add depth and meaning to our worship,” she said. “We would like to emphasize the joyful in worship, and we think Jamey will bring a fun and light-hearted approach.”

Young previously served OUMC for several years as choir director and piano accompanist before leaving in 2000 to form Spirit’s Harmony, an a cappella gospel quartet.

VILLAGE BOARD

Pine tree on downtown campus gets a reprieve

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@oglecountynews.com A tree that sparked a controversy has been given a reprieve.

Mt. Morris Village Trustee Jerry Stauffer told the village board Sept.

24 that a large Colorado blue spruce on the downtown campus will not be cut down as originally planned.

He said several residents signed a petition to save the tree, which has been the village Christmas tree for decades.

Stauffer said he had planned to remove the tree because it has outgrown its space and it appears to be dying.

Two baby blue spruce were recently planted nearby to replace

the large tree, which he said will have to be removed eventually.

“The tree is dying from the base up. We’ve already had to cut dead branches from the bottom and more are dying, “ he said.

Stauffer said the tree was planted 45 to 50 years ago to be the village Christmas tree, eliminating the need to cut a tree every year and put it up in the downtown.

“This kind of tree lives only about 45 to 50 years. It will have to come down at some point,” he said.

Besides the two baby blue spruces, four sunset maples were also recently planted on the south side of the band shell, Stauffer said.

One of the maples, along with

another planted a few years ago, are positioned to provide shade, once they mature, for the seating area near the band shell.

All but one were donated, he said.

In another matter, village president Dan Elsasser said he wanted to put unfounded rumors to rest.

“I’ve been hearing a lot of inaccurate information about village board raises,” he said.

He said rumors have been circulating that the village board has voted several raises for itself.

“This board has had no raises in eight years,” he said.

State statutes prevent the village board from increasing the pay for the current board members. It can

vote increases only for board members elected to serve in the next term.

The board president votes only in case of a tie vote of the six trustees.

Board members terms are elected to four-year terms and elections are held every two years.

Elsasser said the village president, who also serves as liquor commissioner is paid $10,200 per year.

Trustees are paid $75 for each meeting they attend, both board and committee meetings. Committee chairmen receive $100 per meeting.

The village board meets on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at the village hall. The meetings are open to the public.

LOCAL HISTORY

Eighth Illinois Governor moved to Oregon in 1835 Thomas Ford moved to a cabin on property owned by city’s founder, John Phelps Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in the Oregon area’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.

BY OTTO DICK Illinois Governor Thomas Ford from Oregon was our eighth governor from 1842-1846.

He was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, in 1800, 18 years before Illinois was founded in 1818.

In 1835 he moved to a cabin on property owned

by John Phelps, founder of Oregon.

Two years later he moved to North Third Street in Oregon.

He served as a judge on the Illinois Supreme Court. While holding court in Ogle County, he was notified he had been nominated Governor of Illinois.

Shortly after his nomination he was elected Governor on Dec. 8, 1842. Ford County is named after him.

Out of the 43 governors in Illinois, Ford and Lowden came from Ogle County and we have no mention of that on the Ogle County Court House Square.

The following is a summary of our seven governors who served before Thomas Ford.

1. Shadrach Bond, our first Governor of Illinois served one term from 1818-1822.

He was born in Maryland and died at Kaskaskia, our first capitol.

As governor he made transportation his top priority. He signed a bill to build a privately operated toll road across the state from Illinois’ capital Kaskaskia to Shawneetown, the state’s largest city located on the Ohio River.

Bond County is named after him.

2. Edward Coles served one term 1822-1826.

He was born in Virginia, the son of a prominent plantation owner. When he moved to Illinois he freed his slaves giving them a Certificate of Freedom.

During his time in office he helped defeat a bill legalizing slavery in Illinois.

Cole County is named after him.

3. Ninian Edwards served one term 1826-1830.

During his term problems between the settlers and Native Americans resulted in the little war known as the “Winnebago War.” Two years after he left office the Indian troubles ended with the Black Hawk War of 1832.

4. John Reynolds served one term from 18301834.

He was of Irish descent and born in Maryland.

As governor he worked to advance education and make internal improvements, the Illinois and Michigan Canal and the harbor at Chicago.

5. William Ewing was born in Kentucky and served as governor for 15 days in 1834 after Gov.

ABOVE RIGHT: The Illinois Territory included also included Wisconsin and parts of Michigan and Minnesota.

BELOW LEFT: Thomas Ford, his wife Frances, and daughter Julia are buried in Peoria.

BELOW RIGHT: Shadrach Bond was the first Governor of Illinois. Images provided by Otto Dick Reynolds resigned. He had been serving as the Lieutenant Governor of Illinois.

In 1823 while serving as Lieutenant Governor he lost $1,000 when the State Bank was robbed.

6. Joseph Duncan from Kentucky served one term as governor from 1834-1838.

He earned a rank of Major General against the British in the War of 1812.

He was associated with the bill providing for a free school system.

During his time in office the capital was moved from Vandalia to Springfield.

7. Thomas Carlin served one term as governor from 1838-1842.

He was born in Kentucky and moved to Illinois in 1812.

During his time in office the Judicial system was reorganized and five additional Supreme Court Judges were elected which included Thomas Ford from Oregon.

In 1840 the Mormons were removed from Missouri to Nauvoo, Illinois. He opposed monopolies and wanted the state to own and operate all rail-

roads.

The city of Carlinville is named in his honor.

Our first eight governors were not born in Illinois. Six governors served a full four-year term while two served partial terms.

Ninian Edwards, our third Governor also served as the Governor of the Illinois Territory when it was organized in 1809 until we became a state in 1818.

The Capital of the Illinois Territory was Kaskaskia. Illinois was 24 years old when Thomas Ford was governor.

“They are caring, dedicated, generous leaders, and the Illinois 4-H Foundation is extremely proud to be able to provide this honor to thank them for their service to this wonderful organization.”

The Illinois 4-H Foundation established the statewide Hall of Fame in 2004 to honor and celebrate extraordinary 4-H alumni, volunteers, and former 4-H staff. Each inductee receives a commemorative Hall of Fame medallion.

“As a result of these volunteers’ years of service and leadership to Illinois 4-H,” Barnard said, “the program they love will continue to cre-

ate wonderful opportunities for the young people whose lives it touches.”

“The Foundation provides avenues to support the work of Illinois 4-H by accepting financial gifts specifically directed to the program you wish to support,” Barnard said.

“Estate planning services are available to those wishing to continue their 4-H legacy.”

The Illinois 4-H Foundation raises private funds that are invested in Illinois 4-H programs that provide meaningful, positive development experiences for Illinois youth to develop leadership, citizenship, and life skills. To learn more, visit: 4hfoundation.illinois.edu.

It appears Mother Nature will be right on cue this weekend when Oregon hosts the 49th annual Autumn on Parade festival.

With temperatures forecast in the 60s, the ever-popular festival will be held Oct. 5-6 offering visitors their usual favorites — unique craft booths, an Olde English Faire in the backdrop of a castle, a 100+ unit parade, and, of course, plenty of treats to eat.

“We’ve been working all year since the 2018 festival planning this year’s event,” said AOP President Marseyne Snow. “We’ve been very, very busy finalizing details for the festival. We have our great traditional line-up of entertaining activities geared to please everyone.”

The heart of Autumn on Parade is its Farmer’s Market and Craft Fair, located on the Ogle County Courthouse Square and surrounding streets in downtown Oregon.

Handmade, homemade and homegrown items as well as many other kinds of unique items are available for purchase from the 180-plus vendors.

The booth layout will be a little different this year due to the construction of the new Ogle County Jail with some booths moved to the parking lot at Fifth and Washington.

“We are currently filled to our capacity with booths so there should be something for everyone,” said Snow.

On Saturday, antique tractors and classic cars will be on display at Oregon Park East, just across the Rock River on River Road.

Owners of Olivers, Farmalls, and Deeres are more than willing to share the history of their tractors.

Stillman Valley rallies after early Oregon score

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com This battle of the birds was closer than expected, but in the end, the Cardinals simply had too much for the Hawks.

Stillman Valley, ranked No. 3 in the latest Class 4A poll, had to withstand a run from a fired-up bunch from Oregon before pulling away for a 35-7 win Friday night under threatening skies at Landers-Loomis Field. The game was moved up to a 5 p.m. start, to beat anticipated inclement weather.

The Cardinals (5-0) scored 35 unanswered points after spotting the Hawks an early 7-0 lead. Oregon (0-5) did not resemble a team that had been routed in four previous games.

“We’re rockin’ with 17 varsity players,” Oregon junior running back Wylee Rice said. “The sophomores will come in here and there, but not much. We don’t have many bodies, but we tried our hardest.”

“I think we took a step forward,” Oregon coach Nick Schneiderman added. “Our effort was great, but our margin for mistakes is very slim.

We can’t make mistakes and bounce back from them, unfortunately. We almost have to be perfect offensively, but unfortunately, we made some mistakes that took us out of drives.”

Stillman Valley coach Mike Lalor was impressed with the Hawks’ effort.

“Oregon played outstanding,” Lalor said.”I think it’s a credit to their program and coach Schneiderman. If you can keep kids playing hard - they haven’t got their first

SPORTS ROUNDUP VOLLEYBALL Forreston defeats Polo: It took three close games, but the Lady Cardinals came out on top 25-23, 22-25 and 25-19 over Polo on Sept. 26.

Individual leaders for Forreston were: Alexus Houston, 23 kills; Brycelynn Smith, six kills; and Brooke Boettner, 28 assists.

Leaders for Polo were: Nicole Boelens, one ace, five kills, one block, and 35 digs; Marah Blake, seven kills, four blocks, one assist, and three digs; Mallory Patterson, one ace, two kills,

Oregon had a dream start to the game. It forced a 3-and-out by Stillman Valley’s offense, then went to work when it got the ball. Rice carried the ball for 11, 10 and 10 yards the first three times he got the ball, and the Hawks quickly got into the red zone.

Rice capped off a 13-play, 66-yard march by plunging in from the 1 on

fourth down with 3:38 remaining in the first quarter.

Stillman Valley responded with a long march of its own, capped off by a 3-yard run by Logan Jennings early in the second quarter.

The score remained 7-7 until a tide-turning series of events.

50-yard punt gave the ball back to Stillman Valley on its own 9 with 3:40 on the clock.

On second down, Cardinals QB Chad Gerig got loose on a perfectly executed option play and went 90 yards up the right sideline for a touchdown and a 14-7 lead.

The Hawks, however, fought back.

Starting from their own 36, they marched down the field and got as close as the Stillman Valley 21. On second down, quarterback Breccan Berns found Ryker Finch at the goalline with a potential TD pass, only to have it slip through Finch’s hands.

“I’m pretty sure it was tipped, and then it hit me in the face and I dropped it,” Finch said. “That was on me. I should have caught that one.”

The last play of the half also went to Finch, but the ball sailed out of bounds to leave it 14-7 at halftime.

Stillman Valley’s offense seized control after halftime. The Cardinals scored on their first three possessions, on short runs by Logan Lagerhausen and Jennings, as well as a 12-yard pass from Gerig to Joe Kuthe, to make it 35-7 with 8:13 to go.

Oregon, meanwhile, had some success moving the ball in between the 20s after halftime, but could not dent the scoreboard.

Rice finished with 19 carries for 89 yards to lead the Hawks, while Berns added 16 carries for 79 yards.

Berns also completed 6 of 18 passes for 32 yards, with one interception.

Gerig had four rushes for 101 yards to pace a balanced Stillman Valley attack. Luke Frost (7-54), Devin Willis (7-50) and Jennings (1447) were the other top rushers.

FORRESTON FOOTBALL

Forreston Cardinals power past Missiles 54-8

BY ANDY COLBERT acolbert@oglecountynews.com Last year, Forreston escaped with an overtime playoff win at Milledgeville on its way to a state title.

A return trip to Floyd Daub Field resulted in a far different result.

This one was over at halftime with Forreston up 54-8. A few minutes of the second half were played before officials called the game because of inclement weather.

“We took a step back after losing a strong senior class. Forreston didn’t,” Milledgeville coach Jason Wroble said.

The Missiles defense did offer early resistance to Forreston’s vaunted ground attack, forcing the Cardinals into three straight thirddown situations on the first possession.

“Milledgeville does some good things on defense and are disciplined,” Forreston coach Kyle Zick said. “Eventually, we got things to open up.”

With the Missiles selling out for the run, Forreston quarterback Bailey Cullor lofted a 25-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Jordan Neuschwander for a 6-0 lead.

Forreston rarely throws, but when they do Cullor has exhibited a deft touch.

Defensive back Lukas Lingel quickly set up Forreston for another score with a 40-yard interception return to the 5-yard line. Two plays later Dom Christensen crossed the goal line for a 14-0 advantage.

With Forreston attempting different types of kickoffs, Milledgeville had decent field position at the 40-yard line on its next possession.

However, negative yardage forced the second of four 3-and-outs in the first half and Forreston soon rang up its third TD on a 44-yard Braden Politsch run.

“Forreston is number one in the state for a reason,” said Wroble.

“They’re methodical and physical.”

The Missiles put together a 76-yard scoring drive to close to within 22-8.

It was Nick Smith leading the way with four straight completions.

A Marcus McKenna 11-yard catch moved the chains for the first time and Connor Eubanks followed up with a 12-yard grab. Both are part of the Polo wrestling co-op, along with kids from Forreston.

Smith scrambled for another first down before hitting Ryan Kendall with a 38-yard touchdown. The pair added a PAT and it was down to a 22-8 lead.

“That was a nice drive,” Wroble said. “To get a touchdown against a team as good as Forreston is a big

Photos by Earleen Hinton plus.”

Cullor did one better with his second TD pass, this time to Cayden Shelton for 37 yards. Shelton was one of several running backs that got carries for a program that traditionally rotates six to eight backs.

“It’s a luxury we’ve had at Forreston,” said Zick. “If you’re a running back here, you’ve got a good shot to get on the field.”

A Derek DeVries sack of Smith resulted in a punt. Earlier in the game, strongman DeVries was humorously flagged for grabbing one of his running backs by the jersey and dragging him one-handed three extra yards.

Neuschwander made it 38-8 on a short run and then Christensen, hero of Forreston’s playoff semifinal win over Lena-Winslow, went 83 yards on the first play from scrimmage after a long Missile punt.

Already ahead 46-8 with 2 minutes left in the half, Forreston caught a break when it recovered an errant punt snap at the 10-yard line.

Neuschwander tacked on his third touchdown for the 54-8 lead, with the half coming to end and heavy rain on its way.

“As a young team, we’re taking a lumps,” Wroble said. “Forreston controlled the line of scrimmage on

both sides of the ball.”

Milledgeville fell to 0-5 and 0-3 in the NUIC South, while Forreston

(5-0, 3-0) remained unbeaten with an October 11 date looming against Le-Win, ranked No. 2 in 1A.

SPORTS COLUMN

Polo Marcos are setting the bar in the 8-man league B COMMENTARY Andy Colbert

No, not that there was a storm coming, but like so many lopsided games in the NUIC, this would simply be a glorified practice for Forreston.

I will go as far as to say that the Cardinals may get a better workout in practice scrimmages than they have lately against the likes of Galena, AFC, Amboy and Milledgeville.

It was another romp for Polo in 8-man and perhaps the biggest challenge this season is adjusting to a new way of living.

After decades of playing 11-man football against teams from the local area, it has become a new frontier for Polo. They are real pioneers in giving credibility to a brand of football that is still finding its way.

When Polo first made the announcement they were going to 8-man, the fledging league got a huge boost.

When 8-man eventually gets on its feet and I truly believe it will, it will be Polo that made the difference and that is something for the school to be proud of.

As expected, Milford and Polo are the cream of the crop in 8-man and appear headed to a state championship final. Both are the only unbeaten teams left and like Polo, Milford is winning by wide margins.

Here was an interesting score: Morrison 18 Newman 6.

With an enrollment of 270, Morrison would likely be in the 1A playoffs and give the top dogs in the NUIC something else to worry about. A couple other intriguing 1A schools are the ever-present Aurora

Christian and upstart Chicago Hope Academy.

Both play odd schedules and are not shoo-ins to get five wins. In successive weeks, Hope traveled to California and Missouri for games.

Aurora plays Elmhurst Catholic and Kankakee McNamara, two schools that reached the 4A state final.

With the regular season becoming such a preliminary for teams like

Forreston, it’s never too early to look ahead to the post season. This year promises to be quite interesting in the northern quadrant of 1A. The first post season of any sport kicks off next week with golf regionals. In reviewing scores this season, high school golf in small to midrange schools is regressing.

A couple of factors at play – not as many kids interesting in golf anymore and the closing of courses.

efore we get into sports, I wish to honor a muchesteemed colleague. This past Friday was Vinde Wells’ last day on the job as the News Editor for the Forreston, Mt. Morris, Oregon and Polo weekly newspapers.

Working tirelessly behind the scenes for 30+ years, Vinde leaves us as someone who never gave less than 100 percent.

With all the challenges facing the newspaper business, Vinde kept plugging away to put out a quality product.

The Leaf River resident did it humbly, professionally and with attitude of servitude to you the reader. I am grateful to having worked with Vinde Wells.

Before heading to the Miledgeville-Forreston football game, I caught the first part of Oregon and Stillman Valley at 5 p.m.

It was a much-improved effort by the Hawks in giving SV all they could handle in the first half. Of any team on the schedule, Oregon somehow plays Stillman the toughest, at least for the first half.

It has been said that certain teams match up better with others and that is probably the case for Oregon when it faces SV. Especially impressive was an opening drive that gave the Hawks a 7-0 lead and the game could have easily been tied at halftime.

As was the case the last couple years, SV’s superior depth wore Oregon down in the second half.

Nonetheless, an inspired effort for a team that finally has some winnable games coming up. Next week’s opponent, Rock Falls, is on a downward spiral and it will be interesting to see how this one stacks up.

As I drove over to Milledgeville with an impending storm on the way, I had to question what’s the point?

Almost all microplastics end up in our oceans, either from plastic waste that ends up there or from microplastics that flow into the oceans from rivers and streams.

These tiny particles are even getting into our bodies.

Most of us can easily discard the hard plastic into recycling bins, but what about film plastic?

The largest market for plastic today is in packaging which is used once and thrown away.

The trash from these packaging materials accounts for almost half of all plastic waste generated globally.

Film plastic can be described as any plastic that can be flattened and wad-

ded up into a ball.

What is one solution? The Mt. Morris and Oregon Indivisible Group is working with civic and non-profit organizations in both communities to recycle film plastic and earn Trex benches.

Trex (www.Trex.com) is a company that uses plastic to create products such as decking, porch rails, fences and lawn furniture.

Communities are invited to participate in the program by donating 500 pounds of film plastic within six months in exchange for each bench.

We are seeking help from everyone in our communities to contribute their film plastic waste for recycling in order to keep it out of the landfills,

PUBLIC VOICE Recycle plastic bags at several locations Dear Editor, The amount of plastic drifting on and in our oceans is alarming.

World production of plastics has increased exponentially since 1950 to about 450 million tons in 2015 and it continues to grow.

It is predicted that by the middle of the century there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

What is the lifespan of all that plastic?

Forever!

Even more alarming is the staggering amount of microplastics, the tiny fragments that all plastics eventually break down into but never completely

oceans and, even more importantly, out of our bodies.

We are looking for clean and dry film plastic such as: grocery bags, bread bags, case overwrap, dry cleaning bags, newspaper sleeves, ice bags, wood pellet bags, ziplock and other reclosable bags, produce bags, bubble wrap, salt bags,and cereal bags.

Drop off locations are: Mt. Morris Public Library, Oregon Public Library, Mt. Morris Senior Center, Rock River Center in Oregon, Mt. Morris Village Hall, Angel Treasures in Mt. Morris, and Curves in Oregon.

We hope you’ll join our efforts for a cleaner world.

See www.fhn.org/flu for November and December flu shot clinic dates.

Influenza (“flu”) isn’t anything to mess around with – it can be serious or even deadly for elderly people, newborn babies, and people who have certain chronic illnesses.

Help your body fight off the flu this year by getting a flu shot at one of FHN’s flu shot clinics, open to the public at convenient locations across northwest Illinois.

If you are an adult under 65 years of age, you will get a quadrivalent vaccine for $28.

If you’re 65 or over, you will receive a high-dose version of the vaccine ($62). There will be no out-of-pocket expense if you are covered by Medicare Part B (please present Medicare card) or a Medicare HMO accepted by FHN (there’s a list available at each location; covered persons MUST present the Medicare HMO card instead of the Medicare card for the billing process).

All immunizations not covered by Medicare or a Medicare HMO must be paid for by cash or check payable to FHN. The prices shown here are only available at these flu shot clinics; other rates may apply in FHN offices. No other insurance coverage can be accepted at these flu shot clinics, and per government regulations, no Medicaid cards can be accepted at these locations.

Because of federal guidelines to prevent identity theft, everyone must present a photo ID to receive an immunization. For their own safety, children should be immunized at their regular healthcare provider’s office.

You should NOT receive a flu shot at any of these clinics if you: • Are allergic to eggs or the flu vaccine • Are ill or have a fever • Have a depressed immune system Please contact your healthcare provider or call FHN toll-free at 1-877-6000-FHN (1-877-600-0346) ext. 945 for assistance in finding a provider if you can’t receive a vaccination due to the above restrictions.
