Judge reduces bond, but sets strict conditions Peoria man charged with leading police on high speed chase

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com An Ogle County judge reduced the bond last week of a man who led sheriff’s police on a high speed chase, but set strict and numerous bond conditions.

Judge Robert Hanson lowered the bond for Daniel Swisher, 40, Peoria, from $250,000 to $100,000 June 4 after receiving a treatment

plan from Swisher’s psychiatrist.

Swisher posted bond on Monday and was released from the Ogle County Jail.

Swisher’s attorney Paul Whitcombe, Dixon, had requested the bond reduction twice before, but Hanson denied those motions until he heard back from Dr. Arum Pinto, the Peoria psychiatrist who has been treating Swisher for bipolar disorder for several years.

At the June 4 hearing, Whitcombe presented Hanson with Pinto’s report.

Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow objected to the bond reduction, citing public safety

concerns.

An Ogle County Grand Jury indicted Swisher on seven charges on May 27.

He is charged with four counts of aggravated fleeing to elude, all Class 4 felonies; two counts of resisting a peace officer, both Class 4 felonies; and possession of cannabis, a misdemeanor.

Swisher pleaded not guilty to all seven charges.

The charges stem from a high speed chase on May 6, Swisher’s 40th birthday, when he led Ogle County deputies from Castle Rock State Park, through downtown Oregon, west on Ill. 64 to Kings

and back to Oregon where he was finally stopped at the west end of the bridge over the Rock River.

Police said Swisher’s speed reached as high as 104 mph at one point. He was driving a 2015 Porsche.

Earlier that day, Swisher had been involved in a chase with Jo Daviess County Sheriff’s deputies.

He was charged recently with fleeing to elude officers in Peoria County.

Hanson set numerous conditions for Swisher’s release, including he must wear an electronic monitoring device, live with his parents in Turn to A2

Teen is hurt in accident

Appointments for commission are approved 3-2

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Oregon Mayor Ken Williams’ recommendations for the city’s Planning Commission were approved 3-2 Tuesday night, despite a question by one city commissioner.

Voting members recommended to serve were: Kurt Wilson, who is a city commissioner, and Mark Herman, Joe Ebens, Rick Ryland, and Craig Carpenter.

Herman and Ebens reside outside the city limits and have been members of the Planning Commission.

The non-voting, ex officio, and alternate members recommended by Williams were Karly Spell, as an alternate; Henry Tideman, advisory; Mike Bowers, street superintendent, advisory; Charlene Ruthe, city clerk, secretary; Paul Chadwick, city attorney; Corey Buck, city engineer; and Casper Manheim, city building inspector.

Spell resides outside the city limits.

Commissioner Jim Barnes questioned having two voting members and an alternate

who reside outside the city limits.

“I have a problem with three out of the city,” said Barnes.

Williams said the code allows for two voting members to reside outside the city limits and an alternate to live outside the city.

“You take a look and you want stakeholders,” said Williams. “Residents, but also building or business owners.”

Williams said Spell and her husband, Harry, operate a business in the city, Art Casting of Illinois.

“A building and business owner has a stake in the community,” Williams said.

The motion to accept the planning commission recommendations were approved 3-2. Commissioners Terry Schuster, Thomas Izer, and Williams cast yes votes.

Barnes and Wilson cast no votes.

“I have two key goals for the planning commission,” said Williams. “The first will be to update our master plan.

We need a good plan that works for our city otherwise we are just going around in circles.”

An Oregon teen was critically injured in a onevehicle crash Sunday morning.

Michael Stevens, 19, was listed in critical condition Tuesday at OSF St. Anthony Medical Center, Rockford.

He was air-lifted by React helicopter from the scene of the 8 a.m. accident on South Watertown Road near the intersection with Prairie Road approximately five miles southeast of Oregon.

Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said Stevens was driving a pick-up truck north on South Watertown Road and failed to negotiate a curve.

The vehicle drove off the roadway into the left ditch and struck several trees and a creek embankment, coming to rest in a cornfield.

The press release from the sheriff’s department did not indicate whether or not Stevens was wearing a seat belt.

The crash remains under investigation.

Relay for Life raises $56,000 to fight cancer

By Sarah Zuniga Correspondent Cancer survivors, caregivers, and those helping to find a cure came together last Friday night to raise money for the American Cancer Society.

Relay For Life of Ogle County was held June 5 from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Oregon High School track.

The event included a cancer survivor dinner, silent auction, bags tournament, and a luminaria ceremony, as well as themed laps for walking around the track at Landers-Loomis Field.

The event raised $56,000, and money will continue to come in until Aug. 31.

Appointments approved From A1 His second goal is to update city codes.

“They were updated in 1986,” said Williams. “They are 30 years old. If they do not work we should fix it or delete it. If it does work we need to enforce it.”

Williams said the planning commission will work with the newly formed Economic and Community Development Commission that was appointed May 26.

“My promise was that they

will make a difference,” he said.

In other business, Barnes questioned the use of a signin sheet for public comment.

He said he just completed an Open Meetings Act course online which discouraged using sign-in sheets.

“I think the tablet there should be eliminated,” said Barnes, pointing to the sign-in note pad. “I think it should be eliminated. You have public comment on the agenda. That is my opinion.”

Williams said he was aware

of the rules and regulations.

He said area Bar associations recommend a sign in sheet, but he was open to discussing the matter.

A full set of rules should be set for public comment, he said.

“Your name, your address, what your topic is, you have five minutes. You can always gavel and say ‘that’s it.’ We have our bouncer,” he said referring to Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan who often attends the meetings.

In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter.

Ernest D. Landers died in 1966, and E.G. and Behan became partners. Eventually, E.G. Landers assumed sole ownership, and in 1985 he sold the newspaper to B.F. Shaw Printing, Dixon.

First railroad built through county 162 years ago Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. The following is one of a series of the articles he has written.

By Otto Dick Eighteen years after Oregon was founded by John Phelps our first railroad, the Illinois Central was built into and through Ogle County.

These early trains stirred up dust and dirt and the narrow passenger cars used ice buckets to help cool them.

Colonel Roswell B. Mason, as the chief construction engineer, was to build a 702-mile railroad in six years or less.

His job entailed hiring and training 10,000 workers and acquiring railroad ties and rails.

Thousands of German and Irish immigrants were recruited from Europe and promised $1.25 in daily wages.

Iron rails were purchased from England.

Large crews were sent to Michigan to cut down thousands of trees needed to make railroad ties and build bridges.

Other crews started digging quarries to procure

the tons of rock needed to support the rails.

Mason faced many challenges including alcoholism and cholera which plagued the construction crews.

The IC line from Dixon traveled nearly directly north through Ogle County.

Five stations were built in this county: Woosung, Polo, Haldane, Forreston and Baileyville.

This road was built through Ogle County in 1853. Ogle County passenger service ended in 1939.

Today this track from Polo to Baileyville has reverted back to farm land.

The old railroad rightof-way from Polo to Dixon in Lee County serves as a walking and bicycle path.

In Dixon, two stone arched bridges remain as national historic landmarks and the bridge supports in the Rock River still exist just west of Dixon High School.

This 704-mile railroad connecting Galena to the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers played a major role in the development of Illinois.

A branch line of the IC extended to ChicagoThis connected Chicago to Cairo, Ill., and from there by steamboat to the Gulf of Mexico.

Passengers line up to board the train waiting at the Illinois Central depot in downtown Polo. The building has been torn down. Photo supplied by Otto Dick

During the Civil War this route was used to transport troops and supplies to the southern states.

This was the first land grant railroad in the U.S. Congress granted three million acres of public lands to be sold for helping fund the Illinois Central.

Abraham Lincoln traveled on the IC from Dixon to Polo and then to Oregon by horse and buggy.

The Memorial Stone on North Fourth Street marks the spot where Lincoln spoke and is engraved “Lincoln Spoke Here, Aug. 16, 1856.”

Later, when Landers and Loomis were local track stars, the distance was too far to travel by horse and buggy to Dixon for track meets.

Athletes and fans traveled on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) between Oregon and Polo and then switched to the IC traveling to Dixon.

The CB&Q, now the Burlington Northern Santa A stone bridge was built to carry Illinois Central trains Fe, between Oregon and Polo over a street in Dixon. Photo by Otto Dick was built in 1885.

A steam locomotive is on display in front of the Amboy Illinois Central Depot Museum.

Ex-employee files suit against the City of Rochelle

By Christi Warren cwarren@saukvalley.com A former city human resources employee is suing the City of Rochelle, claiming she was fired for being a whistle-blower.

In a complaint filed in Ogle County Court in April, Lynette Fischer, who worked

for the city from 2007 until 2014, said City Manager Dave Plyman fired her after she disclosed examples of wrongdoing to City Council members.

Three times, once in June 2013, and twice in April 2014, she found that the conduct of, or statements made by, Plyman and

Dan Westin, a business and financial analyst for Rochelle Municipal Utilities, were false or unauthorized by the council, and therefore were illegal, she said in the suit.

When council members questioned Plyman, he retaliated by placing Fischer on unpaid administrative

leave, and then firing her, she said in her complaint.

She is seeking compensation for lost and futures wages and benefits, including her pension, and for attorney fees, as well as unspecified damages for emotional distress.

Thursday, Plyman dismissed Fischer’s claims as

“untrue.”

“The basis of her claim is that she was discharged because, apparently, she was claiming that I was retaliating against her because of comments she made to a city councilman,” he said in an interview.

When asked why she was fired, Plyman said “there

are multiple reasons,” and that “she was terminated for cause.”

He declined to comment further.

Neither Fischer nor her attorney were available for comment.

The case is next scheduled for a hearing June 19.

Animal control sponsoring a microchipping day June 20 Ogle County Animal Control will sponsor a microchipping day for pets on Saturday, June 20 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. at the Ogle County Health Department building, 907 W. Pines Rd., Oregon. No appointment is required.

The cost will be $20 per chip. The cost includes registration of the pet’s

chip with Home Again Pet Recovery Service.

The microchip, which is about the size of a grain of rice, is injected in the pet’s shoulder area, much like an inoculation.

The microchip contains information which gives authorities access to the owner’s name, address, and phone number.

The microchipping event is limited to dogs and cats only. Pet owners must be Ogle County residents.

Dog more than four months old must have a current rabies vaccination.

Microchipped dogs get a $5 discount on their rabies tag.

For more information call 815-732-1185.

VOP seeks day camp donations The Village of Progress will again conduct a series of day camp activities for disabled adults enrolled in their program and is seeking the public’s help with the cost.

The Day Camp Program allows VOP consumers to participate in a number of summer outings which may include activities such as fishing, boat rides, field trips, and cookouts.

For more than 40 years the summer camp offerings have provided our consumers

a social, recreational and learning opportunity not otherwise available to most of the individuals who participate.

Since VOP began services to Ogle County adults with developmental disabilities some form of a summer camp experience has been offered to the men and women enrolled in the programs.

In the 1970s and 80s VOP scheduled week long residential camps at Stronghold and LOMC. In the mid 1990s it

changed from a residential camp to a format offering day trip activities throughout the summer.

VOP is estimating the cost for this summer’s program at $65 per participant, and is requesting community support.

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

Any contribution, regardless of the amount, will be appreciated.

hospice’s comfort-oriented care and services.

Bereavement care is a central component of hospice services. Grieving is a series of painful experiences into which one enters and lives for a period of time after the loss of a loved one. It may produce feelings of fear, anger, regret, guilt, loneliness, a sense of uselessness, helplessness, the inability to focus and occasionally a desire to die.

Each person grieves in his or her own way – that is the only “right” way. The crucial issue is to acknowledge that everyone has a right and a need to grieve.

The generosity of many resulted in a very successful fundraiser.

Thursday, June 4, was drop off and setup day with pricing of items. The largest number of volunteers ever came together to accomplish this feat. It became a social event as well as a work force.

Thank you to all those who sorted, folded, arranged, and priced. It was a fun time and the work was done quickly.

Many thanks to all those who donated items to the sale. We had new items such as a shower base with trim to antique tables and chairs. We had big and little plants. We had incredible living room

furniture and patio furniture donated and then picked up by our volunteers.

The Coliseum was completely full this year with donated things.

The Chana School Foundation would like to thank the Oregon Republican Reporter and The Ogle County Life for making the sale public knowledge through their articles printed in their newspapers over the past several months.

Reading Matters Reading helps retain skills for all students

By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist School is out for the summer and we are all looking forward to spending time doing our favorite outdoor activities.

It will be important to include time for reading every day in order to retain those important skills our children and grandchildren

worked so hard to develop this year.

Keep in mind that during the school year students generally spend several hours each day in reading and writing activities across all subject areas.

Spending even a few minutes each day reading during the summer will make a difference.

Let’s look at some resources that will help us encourage our children and grandchildren to include some time for reading in their summer schedules.

Both the Oregon and the

Mt. Morris public libraries are geared up for this year’s summer reading program.

This year’s theme is Read to the Rhythm and participants will enjoy exploring rhythms all around.

The libraries invite children in Preschool through 11th grade to participate in games and activities, see special guests, and win prizes, and of course to read.

Programming varies so be sure to visit your library for details.

The Mt. Morris Public Library is located at 105 S.

McKendrie St. and the phone number is 815-734-4927.

The Oregon Public Library is located at 300 Jefferson St. and the phone number is 815-732-2724. The Summer Reading Programs run from June 1 – July 24.

Stop in soon to get more details to get ready to feel the rhythm and listen to the beat.

If you are looking for ideas of some good books to read this summer, the Illinois Reads book list is a great place to start. Illinois Reads is a statewide reading initiative sponsored by the Illinois Reading Council.

Sean Hosseini, Byron, was a member of the event leadership team. “It’s awesome to see the support for these survivors,� said Hosseini.

This was Hosseini’s third year participating with Relay for Life. “I originally got started because I had a friend who

was a part of it and he asked me to join,� said Hosseini. “Since then, my mom was actually diagnosed with lung cancer, so that kind of made my connection to the event even stronger.�

Hosseini’s mother-in-law and aunt-in-law have also battled with cancer. “At this point, I’m here for my mom, for my motherin-law, my aunt-in-law, and anybody else here that’s either struggled with cancer or know somebody that’s

struggled with cancer,� said Hosseini.

Russ and Mary Hoernecke, Byron, helped raise $5,000 for their team Muskie Mary Marchers.

Russ is a six-year survivor of prostate cancer, and Mary served on the event committee this year. “It’s nice to see all the money we raise every year,� said Russ.

The Hoerneckes have Renee Ludwig, Forreston, participated with Relay For spoke at the Relay For Life.

SECTION B

SUMMER DAZE

Thursday, June 11, 2015

New events mix with classics at Summer Daze From A1 they added a turn. It used to be a straight shot.”

The turn proved to be the wrench in the competition that made the event difficult.

“Having to turn made it so you loose sight of the keg,” said Bolen. “Luckily we had people help keep the kegs on line.”

The turns were also difficult for Lee Miller, German Valley.

“The keg did not want to cooperate,” he said.

One competitor, Karl Meyer, Stillman Valley, was fortunate to not tip his tractor during the race.

He had his 1926 F12 on three wheels when he drove over the keg.

“I was going good but I lost it when I went over the keg,” Meyer said. “I have a narrow front end. I think this is more work than this tractor has done in 40 years.”

The F12 has been in Meyer’s family since it was purchased new by his greatgrandfather who was from Baileyville.

“The FFA helped restore this tractor in 2007 so it is fun to show it off at FFA events,” he said.

Times in the keg race went from a quick 47 seconds posted by Miller to 108 seconds.

In the keg race the quickest time was desired, however in the second event of the night, competitors wanted to be the slowest tractor.

The slowest tractor race pitted three tractors and their drivers against each other to finish a short course in the longest time possible while still keeping the tractor moving forward.

Miller joked that he left his championship tractor at home this year.

“Last year I had a creeper gear on my tractor,” he said.

“It went really, really slow.

It had a trencher on it. Now that was a slow race.”

He said this year he just had a regular tractor.

The races were slow, the first heat between Bolen, Meyer, and Dan Cox, Leaf River, lasted 50 seconds.

Competitors also competed in a trailer hitch competition where they tried to back the tractor up to a hitch without knocking a ball off that was balanced on the hitch.

The evening ended with the traditional fireworks show.

Saturday was another perfect day weather-wise for a festival.

Downtown was filled with people viewing the car show and playing games in the park.

The Leaf River Fire Department set up a new game this year for people to try.

Fire hose bowling is an event where people try and unroll a fire hose to knock down pins.

“I saw it on Facebook,” said firefighter Dave Borgmann. “Some other firefighters did it and I thought it looked cool.”

Picking up the wound hose and releasing it so the hose would unroll was the easy part. Getting the pins knocked down was the challenge.

“The challenge was hitting the pins, it acted like my bowling ball and wanted to curve to the right.,” said Borgmann. “First thing this morning I got a strike.

The assistant chief was my witness. After, I could not hit a thing.”

Firefighters spent the morning showing people how to throw the hose and allowed anyone who was interested a chance at playing.

Trying out the game, it was easy to see why it was hard to hit the pins. The hose would unwind fast but any throw that was off line does not recover like a bowling ball does at a bowling alley.

“It was fun and we had a lot of people stop by to try it,” Borgmann said.

The fire department also held a tug of war competition that put firefighters against kids. Dozens of kids tried to defeat two to five fireman in the contest.

They also held teams of kids against kids.

Meanwhile at the River Valley Complex, the tractor pulls were underway.

The antique tractor pulls started off the event and the pulls continued throughout the day into the evening with the Badger State Tractor Pulls.

In the antique tractor pulls, Kyle DeBoer, Baileyville,

was keeping busy.

He was entered in multiple classes with his Minneapolis Moline tractor.

In the 5100 pound class he hit 280 feet on his first pull but the distance was disallowed as some weights fell off the tractor.

He came back on the track for a second chance and hit 278 feet to win the class.

There was no rest for him as he was the first up in the 5600 pound class.

With only minutes between races DeBoer quickly added 500 pounds to his tractor to compete again.

In his first run at 5600, he posted a distance of 292 feet.

“I am used to lifting heavy

weights,” he said.” I am a logger.”

The weights used on the tractors range from 30 pounds to 150 pounds.

“You need the different weights to get to the maximum,” DeBoer said.

He said a tractor plus the rider need to weigh as close to the limit as possible to compete.

In the pits, DeBoer had a secret weapon.

His young daughter wanted to see him before each pull.

An early morning storm Sunday cleared up in time for the annual parade on Sunday and crowds lined AJ Christensen, right, leads his team while pulling during the streets to view all the the tug of war competition Saturday afternoon. Photo by entries.

American Pickers is scouting northern Illinois for locations Popular TV show seeks unique items

Grand Opening Jim Marrie of Kunes Country was grilling hot dogs and bratwurst June 5 to celebrate the grand opening of the Kunes Country dealership in Oregon. Photo

by Chris Johnson

The American Pickers television program is planning on traveling through Iowa and Illinois this summer and is looking for leads.

The show will be tentatively filming in Iowa for two weeks in July before heading to Illinois.

Cineflix, the producers of the show that airs on the History Channel, is looking for leads of possible picking locations.

Producers are looking for locations with interesting characters with interesting and unique items to possibly appear on American Pickers,

a documentary series that explores the world of antique picking.

The show follows Mike Wolfe of Antique Archeology, LeClaire, Iowa, and Frank Fritz, of Frank Fritz Finds, Savanna, as they go around the country and search through barns and homes looking for rare and unique items.

The team will film episodes of their hit series American Pickers throughout Illinois. Filming is scheduled for July and August.

Previously the show has visited Rockford and Polo among other locations throughout the country.

Some of what the show is looking for are vintage bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military

items, folk art, vintage musical equipment, vintage automotive items, early firefighting equipment, vintage clothing, pre-50’s western gear.

Currently, the picking team is not looking for farming or agriculture items, tools, glassware, appliances, tractors, crocks, or country primitives.

To apply for the show, send contact information about a personal collection and picking locations, email: your name, number, address and description of the collection and photos to americanpickers@cineflix. com or call 855-old-rust.

Referrals of leads for the show are also welcomed.

New episodes air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on History Channel.

SBA offers tornado victims low interest loans for rebuilding People and businesses in Ogle County and eight other northern Illinois counties are now eligible to apply for low-interest, long-term loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration

(SBA) to help them recover from the April 9 tornado.

Governor Bruce Rauner submitted a request May 29 for SBA assistance after officials from the SBA, Illinois Emergency

Management Agency (IEMA) and local losses.

“The SBA declaration will bring much-needed help to people and businesses still trying to recover from the tornado,” Rauner said.

“While this disaster didn’t rise to the level needed to seek federal assistance through FEMA, we’re able to offer these programs to assist communities as they work toward recovery.”

Anyone affected by the April 9 tornadoes in Ogle County and the contiguous counties of Boone, DeKalb, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle, Lee, McHenry, and Winnebago is now eligible to apply for a

low-interest, long-term loan through the SBA. More information about the disaster loan program and details about a Disaster Loan Outreach Center (DLOC) will be announced later.

Thursday June 11, 2015 Comparing yourself to others is a waste of time and energy. You have abilities, ideas and talents that you need to develop and master. Highlight what you do have to offer and others will take note. Self-confidence comes from doing what you do best.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will face an unpleasant consequence if people feel that you have been misleading.

Before you convince others to join your mission, check your facts and leave no room for error.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Think before you speak. Your heightened emotions will cause you to overreact. There is no need to be defensive if no one is threatening you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your charming ways and humorous mood will have people flocking to your side. Accept as many social invitations as you can handle. A change of fortune is imminent.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Before you sign up for a loan or make a major purchase, you should do a realistic assessment of your financial status. Consult a banking or investment adviser,

if necessary, in order to clarify your position.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You may be overwhelmed by the demands being put on you.

Don’t spread yourself too thin.

It’s perfectly fine to say no. Take care of your needs first and don’t feel guilty.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Surround yourself with positive, upbeat people. Good moods are contagious, and you will feel your stress falling away once you loosen up. An intriguing partnership is on the horizon.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be self-aware. If your instincts tell you something is not right, listen to them. Scam artists are very convincing, and if you fall for a sales pitch, you will have regrets.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will alienate the people you live with if you try to force your opinions on them. Take a step back and let matters settle down before you spoil a close relationship.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Introduce yourself to the person you have been admiring from a distance. You are likely to find a lot of common ground once you compare notes. A long-lasting partnership is apparent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -You are likely to feel confined and to be easily upset if you stay indoors today. Use your energy to complete outdoor chores or to engage in some physical activity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -A recent quarrel with someone will stress you out. Open up the lines of communication, declare your feelings and admit your shortcomings. Clear your conscience and ease your mind.
