Emergency?!

Sign up to help Two agencies to hold meeting on June 30

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Did you wonder what you could do to help when an EF4 tornado swept through a section of Ogle County on April 9?

Well, next Tuesday night is your chance.

That’s when the Ogle County Health Department and the Ogle County Emergency Management Agency are holding a meeting to inform residents Jim Martinaitis, left, owner of a 1966 VW Beetle, talks to Ron Birr, Oregon, during the Oregon Lions Club Car Show about volunteering with those at Oregon Park East on June 21.

Sun, surf up for Lions’ car show

By Earleen Hinton ehinton@oglecounty news.com Beach umbrella and chair, check. VW Beetle, check.

Surfboard, check. Sun, check.

Surf, umm…well sort of.

Four out of five of those essential summer fun elements was enough to bring smiles to the faces of Oregon residents Jimmy and Kris Martinaitis, one of the 106 entries that took part in the Oregon Lion’s Club’s Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Show on June 21.

“It is a nice day,” said Jimmy smiling as he walked around his 1966 VW Beetle.

“This is our ‘new’ car. Our ‘old’ car is a ’65 Mustang.”

Jimmy and Kris chatted with a steady steam of onlookers who came to Oregon Park East on Father’s Day to check out cars like the Martinaitis’ Beetle which was decked out in full ’66 regalia topped off with a cooler and surfboard on its luggage rack.

show, just across River Road, the swollen Rock River was creating its own Illinoisstyle surf as the river flowed briskly over the Oregon dam. That made the day just about perfect for the little alloriginal stock Beetle.

“This was a California car. It even had a California emissions sticker on it, so

they were checking that in California way back then,” said Kris. “We just turned 96,000 miles on this. We think its the first time, but we don’t know for sure.”

Two rows to the east, nine-year-old Anthony Bauer, also of Oregon, was busy polishing the hood of his dad’s 1973 Dodge

Challenger.

Anthony carefully ran the polishing cloth across the big brown hood of the muscle car, anticipating the day when his dad Joe, gives him the car.

“This is going to be my car someday,” Anthony said with a grin.

The meeting will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on June 30 in the board room on the third floor of the Ogle County Courthouse, 105 S. Fifth St., Oregon.

Information will be presented about volunteering in the area of emergency preparedness and response in an effort to improve response capabilities in times of public emergencies.

According to studies by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), fear can be overwhelming when a disaster hits a community, not because enough resources are not available, but because people do not know how to access those resources, .

Lightly used military vehicle with warranty and less than 400 miles with a price tag too good to resist.

That was what Ogle County Sheriff Brian VanVickle found when looking for a new vehicle to improve options available during winter storms to keep the public safe.

“We were looking at another truck to assist the department during snowstorms,” said VanVickle.

“Stephenson County received one of these trucks and I looked at getting one.”

The truck is a BAE Caiman 6x6 MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) from the US Department of Defense and Homeland Security, which provided the vehicle at

no cost to the county.

The vehicle was delivered in April and inspected before being declared ready for service.

It will serve multiple roles in the county.

“Primarily it will be used in snow storms to get stranded people out of the weather,” said VanVickle. “Some people are unable to ride on snowmobiles and this truck can get through the snow.”

During severe winter weather the sheriff’s department has utilized local snowmobile clubs to help with rescuing stranded motorists.

VanVickle said their help has been invaluable during the winter months.

The Caiman has a heated space with bench seating.

Lindhorst to open ukulele shop in little stone house Old building getting new life along Ill. 64

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A long abandoned business is about to be bursting out in song.

In the very near future, John Lindhorst will open Ukulele Station America in the little stone building at the corner of Washington (Ill. 64) and 10th Streets in Oregon.

Lindhorst plans to sell ukuleles and teach ukulele and voice lessons in the

picturesque building that once was a gas station and then a beauty shop.

He said Monday that he’s wrapping up final details and hopes to open his shop “in a couple of weeks.”

“I plan to sell ukuleles at every price level from beginner through handcrafted one-of-a-kind,” he said.

Lindhorst recently retired after teaching music for 40 years in public and private schools from Ogle County to California and Hawaii.

He also ran a successful ukulele shop in California and believes the venture will work well here.

“It’s kind of a hobby business. I hope to expand

it,” he said.

Lindhorst, who has a degree in Music Education with an emphasis in voice and choir, plans to teach group ukulele lessons to adults and youth.

The adult lessons will likely be scheduled through the day with youth lessons after school.

Lindhorst decided to buy the building last year after he saw online that it was for sale.

“I’ve always loved stone buildings,” he said.

He ran a coffee shop in Oregon several years ago in a stone building in the 200 block of Washington Street.

The first place award came in News Reporting Single Story category for small, non-daily newspapers at the Illinois Press Association’s

annual editorial contest June 14 in Springfield.

Hinton snapped photos of the bear as he napped on a large limb of an oak tree south of Mt. Morris, while Wells detailed his progress through town and beyond.

“Covering a wandering bear was a first for us in Ogle County, and may have been a once in a lifetime story,” Wells said. “It was also very gratifying to be recognized by the IPA for our efforts.”

No departments could provide any further information about the two hospitalized victims.

Brokaw was on the staff at Camp Lowden, a Boy Scout camp seven miles southeast of Oregon.

Summer camp director Bruce Small confirmed that Brokaw was on the camp staff, but declined to provide more information, instead referring inquiries to Blackhawk Area Council Scout Executive Don Kinney.

Kinney did not return a phone message left on Tuesday.

Sheriff says elderly residents need to watch out for blacktop scams

Volunteer meeting is June 30

Scammers may offer a low quote for the work and then submit a much higher bill; they may perform substandard work with cheap materials while charging for quality materials and work; or the individuals may represent themselves as working for a local, reputable company when they have no connection to that company at all.

VanVickle advised residents who need work

done to should contact a locally known contractor to protect themselves from scams.

The press release recommends that residents hire local businesses and contact the Better Business Bureau for more information.

In all three incidents, the scammers approached the homeowners and solicited the blacktop work, the press release said.

The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. 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.

Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo’s Tri-County Press.

Trains were very important to Oregon community 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 From 1871 to the turn of the century the railroad served an important function in this community.

It fueled our commerce, manufacturing, agriculture, travel, communications, supplied jobs, brought tourists to this area, and so to speak kept Oregon on the map.

Many of our local businesses received their supplies at the depot freight house.

The business men no longer had to drive a horse and wagon to the train at Franklin Grove to get their supplies.

The lumber yards received lumber, coal, and cement.

Cement used to make concrete came in bags.

Concrete was mixed by hand and later in a portable mixer, not delivered in a ready mix truck.

The last person hired on the construction crew usually had the job of pouring in the cement.

If the wind was in the right direction he would be covered with cement powder.

Manufacturing flourished along the siding spur located on the west side of Rock River.

In 1913 businesses adjacent to the railroad spur were the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company, Schiller Piano Company, Neola Grain Elevator, Illinois Northern Utilities Company, Player Piano Company, Sandage Foundry Company, E. F. Davis Lumber Company, Chester Nash Millwork, Riverside Creamery and Bottling Works, E.D. Etnyre and Company, and Spahn & Rose Lumber Company.

Having electrical power provided at the dam and the train spur running next to their plant spurred our manufacturing.

All of these industries have closed or moved to other locations, and the railroad spur was removed.

Our local farmers used the railroad to ship grain, cattle and even chickens to the Chicago Stock Yards.

We have two wooden pens used to ship the chickens at the depot.

There was a stock yard at the depot.

Bob Groenhagen explained how they would purchase feeder cattle out West and ship them on the train to Oregon.

He recalled the railroad men hated the cattle.

Dairy farmers shipped milk to Chicago.

Toss Heuerman, who grew up on First Street, recalled seeing farmers drive cattle across the bridge and then down First Street in front of their home to the depot stockyards.

Wood silo parts and Sears

The railroad tracks ran to the Pacific Condensed Milk Company on the south side of Oregon. Photo supplied

& Roebuck houses were shipped by train to Oregon.

Early on the telegraph operator received and sent Western Union messages.

These were our main communications to the outside world.

When a war casualty message was received, Horace Sharick would notify the minister first before delivering the message.

Then when Oregon had telephone service, people without telephone service used the pay telephone at the depot.

Our mail arrived and departed on the mail car.

Mail was sorted in the mail car. We have a practice mail

sorting box at the depot.

The railroad also supplied jobs.

Listed in the phone directories are the names of several men that worked on the section crews.

There were also several people working as station agents and at the freight depot.

The C. B. & Q. advertised Oregon as a tourist attraction and sponsored bicycle trips to Oregon.

They would depart at the Oregon Depot and ride to several locations such as the Pines and Castle Rock.

One such trip they biked to Davis Junction where they took the Chicago & Northern

back to Chicago.

Another sponsored trip was a Halloween trip to Oregon and then a hay wagon ride to the Oregon Golf Club where they celebrated.

On one occasion a special train was furnished for events such as the Ogle County Fair.

At one time seven passenger trains stopped at the depot.

There was daily passenger service to Chicago and Minneapolis and St. Paul.

At Christmas time the train station was filled with college students.

Friends and family arrived and departed from all over the country.

Servicemen left and returned by train.

Several horse and buggy cabs provided service to and from the depot.

Everyone in our area knew the ticket agent.

He sold tickets, sent and received Western Union messages, stood on the train platform as each train passed checking for smoke coming from the wheel bearing, received and delivered train orders.

He definitely was a multi-tasker with a lot of responsibilities.

Even after the car and truck era commenced, the railroad played an important function in the Oregon community.

Oregon’s power plant and the Schiller Piano Factory sat on the west bank of the Rock River. The piano factory is now Conover Square. Photo supplied

Ogle County Newspapers, Thursday, June 25, 2015, Page A7

Monday’s storm peeled the roof off Northland Mall Sauk Valley Media Strong storms Monday night ripped part of the roof off Northland Mall, 2900 E. Lincolnway, Sterling over the new Dunham’s Sports store, open only since October. A back wall crumbled.

No one was hurt, but among other precautions, police officers had to secure the store’s firearms.

Because of the damage, the mall will be closed until further notice, and people are advised to steer clear – the Sterling police and Whiteside County Sheriff ’s Department Mounted Patrol will be on site, arresting trespassers, Sterling PD said in a late-night news release.

At the time the storm hit, there were six people left in Dunham’s – four employees, including 19-year-old Drew Sauer, of Rock Falls, and two customers. They went to the golf simulator room in the southwest corner of the store to stay safe, Sauer said.

They could hear the rain pounding, and the hail, then came that telltale sound – like a freight train barrelling down.

All of a sudden, “the roof started to lift up, the lights started to swing, and tons of water came pouring in,” Sauer said.

After everyone had been evacuated, he ran to the break room at the back of the store, to retrieve keys — his and his coworkers’.

“That’s when I actually was able to take everything in and see all the damage that had been done,” Sauer said in a text.

“Coolers were floating down the walkways. I saw burst pipes with water pouring out of them flooding the store. The water was up to my ankles at that point. I was also worried because I saw wires hanging from the ceiling, merchandise everywhere … but then I looked towards the back [where the exercise equipment was sold] and saw that the wall was gone, and I could see the lightning and trees.”

Dominick Coronado, 36, and his 15-year-old daughter, Sonrisa, were shopping at Dunham’s for football equipment for his son. When the storm warnings hit, everyone inside was told to take cover, “and people were starting to freak out,” Sonrisa said. “I was afraid.”

The Coronados and some other mall shoppers fled to the bathrooms for safety, but Dominick and a few other people decided to poke their heads outside the mall to see what was going on. He saw the storm cell coming, and at that moment, he, too, heard the freight train.

In an instant, the roof was gone, and the building was filling with water and that awful electrical smell, he said. Wires were sparking.

Worried for Sonrisa’s safety, he waited about 15 minutes for the worst to pass, then they took off for their car.

“It was crazy,” he said.

The storm then headed for Dixon, where nearly 3 inches of rain drenched the town in 30 minutes, the National Weather Service in

Chicago reported.

At 8:19 Monday night the service reported zero visibility and 60 mph gusts on state Route 251 on the Lee-LaSalle County Line.

During the heaviest rainfall in Sterling, around 7:30 p.m., West LeFevre Road was under water, as was Lynn Boulevard in front of Thomas Park on Lynn Boulevard. The recently pumped pond, drained so that dredge work could be done, was overflowing its banks. Ditches became ponds, cornfields small lakes.

Winds were clocked at around 70 mph at state Route 40 and U.S. Route 30 in Rock Falls around 7:15 p.m. Fifteen minutes later, rain fell hard. Rock Falls was doused with 3.4 inches from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., Sterling 3.1 inches over the same period.

Another roof, this one on a building in Harmon, also was blown away, the Weather Service reported.

Power was out to nearly 1,300 ComEd customers; the company estimates it will be restored by around 6 p.m.

More of the same might be in the offing.

Although today’s forecast calls for sunny skies and highs in the low 80s, there’s a 60 percent chance of more rain and thunderstorms Wednesday, with a high around 80.

More likely, storms will develop Wednesday night into Thursday morning, though, the Weather Service says, adding that some could become severe. The big hazard is apt to be heavy rainfall and flash floods.

The precipitation percentage diminishes to 30 on Thursday, and stays in that range through the weekend, with highs in the low 80s or so.

In addition to two Lee County tornadoes – one in Sublette, and one in Harmon – Monday’s storm also produced two separate tornadoes that touched down in Whiteside County, according to the National Weather Service.

The Whiteside County twisters – which both originated within 3.5 miles of Rock Falls – were not originally categorized as such, but were determined to be tornadoes after NWS surveyors assessed the damage.

Neither resulted in injuries.

The NWS uses the Enhanced Fujita scale to indicate a tornado’s severity.

Whiteside County’s twin twisters were given an EF-1 “weak” designation, secondlowest on a 6-point scale.

The first originated at 7:14 p.m. 1 mile northeast of Rock Falls. It had a 100-mph peak wind and traveled 2.19 miles southeast. It was 75 yards wide, according to the NWS, and lasted 4 minutes.

The second one started at 7:16 p.m., while the first was still raging, according to the NWS. It was 50 yards wide, traveled 2.56 miles southeast and blew itself out 3.5 miles west of Harmon.

All four siblings were born of the same severe weather cell that stormed

through the region from about 7 to 10 p.m. Although separate from the ones that touched down in Harmon and Sublette, the Whiteside tornadoes followed the same tract, said meteorologist Terry Simmons, of the Quad Cities NWS. Chicago NWS maps show the tornado-producing storm system continued to Lee County and through Mendota, Coal City, and Kankakee.

“The surveyors looked at the [Whiteside County] damage and determined it

to be tornadic,” Simmons said. “Looking at the radar and the way the damage was found, that’s how you determine some of this.

You look at what pattern of damage existed.”

In Whiteside County, the wind mostly damaged trees, power lines and house sidings, the NWS said.

The two Lee County tornadoes were less twinlike: One was a “strong” twister that blazed a path through Woodhaven Lakes in Sublette, the other a slightly weaker twisted

suffered head injuries severe enough to require hospitalization, while several others were treated for minor injuries.

The Sublette tornado mowed a quarter-mile-wide path of damage through the south side of the private campground, taking out hundreds of trailers, while a home in Harmon, pop. 100 or so, lost its roof.

Gov. Bruce Rauner issued a state disaster proclamation for Lee County, which will make state resources available for recovery.

Northland mall inspected Tuesday Sauk Valley Media Engineers and insurance adjusters were busy today assessing damage at Northland Mall after winds exceeding 100 mph ripped off part of its roof Monday night.

Most of the storm damage hit Dunham’s Sports, the mall’s anchor store that opened in October after an extensive interior remodeling.

The city sent a structural engineer to Northland today to do a preliminary assessment, and he reported that the mall appears to be sound.

“The Dunham’s portion

isn’t going to be open anytime soon, but it appears that the rest of the mall’s stores can continue to operate as soon as things are cleaned up,” City Manager Scott Shumard said.

As if rainwater wasn’t enough to contend with outdoors, the sprinkler systems inundated the inside of the mall.

“The sprinkler systems failed when the roof peeled back, and now all of that water is being cleaned up,” Shumard said.

It appeared that the roof at Dunham’s played a key role in holding up the back wall that crumbled.

sister that ripped the roof off a home in the village of Harmon, just over the county’s western border with Whiteside.

Harmon’s EF-1 was confirmed late this afternoon by the Lee County Emergency Management Agency and the Chicago NWS. Sublette’s EF-2 rating was confirmed earlier in the day.

One person in Harmon was taken to a local hospital with “non-life-threatening injuries,” LCEMA reported.

probably wouldn’t pass today’s city codes, but that’s an old building,” Shumard said.

The sprinkler system is zoned, so it can be cut off for Dunham’s, and turned back on for the rest of the

mall’s businesses.

ComEd set up a station for its workers today in the mall’s parking lot.

Many of the utility’s crews were working to restore power and deal with tree limbs in wires.

Barnes questions budget, code book, and the mayor

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com

Ukulele shop coming to Oregon From A1 last few months renovating the little building.

It first opened in 1931 as Mongan’s Conoco Station.

Charlie Mongan built it, Lindhorst said, and his father Richard Mongan operated the gas stations there until

1950.

Local residents told Lindhorst that students who attended nearby Oregon High School liked to stop in for pop and snacks.

After sitting vacant for a number of years, the building housed Jeannie’s Beauty

Bar for several years before spending another three decades empty, he said.

Lindhorst held a “soft opening” of the business on June 19 to give friends and neighbors an opportunity to see the newly remodeled ukulele shop.

A city commissioner questioned the budget, the city code book, and the mayor Tuesday night.

Commissioner Jim Barnes voiced concerns with the way the mayor Ken Williams handled a request over mowing grass on a city rightof-way.

“Mr. Mayor, I have a complaint against you,” said Barnes. “I am on the senior center board and the senior center has been proud and we try to keep our building looking nice and the lawn mowed.”

Barnes said the senior center director emailed the mayor with a request for the city to mow the right of way.

“You emailed back and said ‘to go to the city website,’” said Barnes. “She checked the site and found no way to file a complaint.”

Barnes said throughout his recent mayoral campaign, Williams was at the senior center asking for votes.

“You wanted collaboration,

communication, conversation,” said Barnes.

“Now wouldn’t it have been better if you would have told her ‘I will check into it and see what can be done’ instead of the smart remark to check the website?”

Barnes reminded Williams that he told him upon taking office that “being mayor is not an easy job.”

“You turned everybody off down at the senior center,” said Barnes. “Next time maybe you should reconsider.”

“Thank you,” said Williams. “I will take it in consideration.”

Barnes also questioned the mayor’s request to have the planning commission go through the code book and make recommendations for changes.

“You realize the planning commission is advisory?” said Barnes. “My feeling is they should not go through it.

We were elected and the book is a legal document.”

He did not agree that the planning commission should have input on every aspect of the code book.

The third item Barnes questioned Tuesday was the $6,000 in the city budget for the Chamber of Commerce.

“I think that is high,” said Barnes. “The Chamber gets an office and lights (from the city). I think $6,000 is expensive.”

The Chamber of Commerce has an office on the first floor of the Oregon Coliseum on N. Fourth Street.

Commissioner Terry Schuster said money collected by the Chamber has been used to support more events, help grow businesses, and provide services for chamber members.

“They are providing services they have not been able to provide in the past,” said Schuster.

The mayor thanked Barnes for his concerns with the budget.

“It is always correct to question expenses to justify them,” said Williams. “I think the money is well spent.”

Public Voice Concerned over empty storefronts Dear Editor, I think that it is great that the downtown area [in Oregon] is being improved.

But will the new improvements bring in new stores?

I have my concerns that new stores will come in and the new city council and economic development commission really needs to do something about the empty downtown stores as soon as possible.

Sincerely, J. Stephen Moehle Vernon Hills

TOWN & COUNTRY DAYS SECTION B

One day of rain fails to dampen Polo’s festival

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Heavy rains did not dampen the atmosphere at Polo’s Town & County Days Saturday night.

The beer garden with live music and twilight bingo continued as scheduled while the tents kept most people dry.

“The rain Saturday was bad but people were having a good time,” said festival chairman Jon Miller.

Fortunately for the festival committee the storms were not severe.

The other three days of the festival had sunny skies and warm temperatures.

“It was just the one day, I could not complain about the weather,” Miller said.

The festival began with a clear night for the 5k run/ walk and fireworks June 18.

Clear skies continued on June 19 for Kids Day “The kids had a blast in the kids tent,” said Miller.

Children were able to meet Elsa from “Frozen”, play games, have their face painted, and get up and close with some goats in the petting zoo.

Later in the day was the first night of the beer garden which was well attended.

“I was pleased with the festival turnout this year,” said Miller. “I was happy to see the community support.”

Miller acknowledged the help required to run the annual festival.

“We had a great committee working to put on this

festival,” he said.

The committee turned out Monday morning to tear down the festival in the rain.

They were getting a little wet, but were dedicated to cleaning up.

A car show Saturday morning was well attended.

The Gateway to the Pines Car Club helped host the Polo Car Show and Swap Meet June 20 at Crossroads Church.

A wide variety of classic cars and trucks along with modern muscle cars were on display. Rain held off for most of the day which Hailey Cisketti, Ty Newcomer, and Bre Cisketti ride the Sizzler June 19 during Town & Country Days. A carnival was brought visitors out to the just one of the attractions at this year’s festival. Photo by Chris Johnson show.

The threat of rain Saturday did cause a lower turnout at the annual kid’s water fights at the Polo Fire Station.

In prior years 20 or more kids lined up to participate.

With seasonably cool temperatures in the low 60s along with a threat of a storm, there were only 10 participants this year.

This gave each child an opportunity to have multiple water fights.

Sunday saw the annual grand parade wind through town. The day was greeted by warmer temperatures without a drop of rain in sight, except for the occasional puddle from the previous day’s storm.

Throughout the festival, the carnival rides were filled with screaming kids enjoying the Great American Shows Little Miss Joelle Baker throws candy to the parade crowd while Little Mister Robbie Harazin adjusts his crown Carnival that stretched over during the Town & Country Days parade on June 21.

School district announces dates for drug testing

Perfect weather for Lions’ car show From A1 Nearby, David Smith’s 1934 Ford Truck, built on a 1986 Mazda chassis, piqued interest as it carried an old 125cc Harley Davidson motorcycle in its bed.

“The truck has a four cylinder engine, five speed transmission. The entire drive train is a Mazda,” said Smith,

an Oregon resident. “I buy and sell hot rods for a living.”

A Rat Rod, belonging to a member of the Hub City Cruisers, a car club based in Rochelle, caught the eye of Russell Laine, Summerfield, Florida.

“I was in town for a family wedding. I enjoy older cars,” he said.

And in the center of the show area, Matt Woodstrup’s 1972 AMC Gremlin from Sycamore was a must see, according to Lions Club member Jerry Hinrichs.

“You have got to see this,” said Hinrichs laughing as he pointed to a Nixon-Agnew replica bumper sticker, displayed on the back hatch.

Mary Beth Zolli, Vernon Hills, and former Sterling resident, said she worked at a factory in Dixon that used to make the little Gremlin figure that is on the car’s gas cap.

“I worked there one summer on the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift and we made these little guys,” she said.

KSB Corporate & Community Wellness will be doing Drug, Alcohol and Nicotine testing on all Oregon students who are wishing to participate in any athletic extra-curricular activities for the upcoming school year.

Testing dates at the Blackhawk Center will be as follows: Thursday, July 30 - 9 a.m. 11:45 a.m. and 1 p.m. - 5:45 p.m.

Thursday, Aug. 6 - 8 a.m. 11:45 a.m. and 1 p.m. – 3:25 p.m.

Please call Oregon High School at 732-5300, ext. 4041 to schedule an appointment.

There is a $30 fee for the mandatory testing program.

If you are unable to attend either of the dates listed above, please call KSB Oregon Clinic (815732-3151) to schedule an appointment at their facility in Oregon.

When calling for an appointment in Oregon, please identify yourself as a student at Oregon High School. You also must present a receipt of payment at the Oregon office.

All payments must be made at the Black Hawk Center Athletic office. In

order to conduct the testing at either site a parent consent form must be presented at the time of the testing.

Students CANNOT be tested without the official parent consent form. Consent forms may be found on the school website listed below.

Every student in grades 6-12 planning to participate in athletics within the Oregon School District must have a current physical, concussion form, and the consent/ registration form on file in the office before they will be allowed to practice.

These forms can be turned into the office at DLR Jr. High for junior high students or Blackhawk Center for high school students at any time before the first practice of the athlete’s first sport.

Sports physicals are good for one calendar year, at which time they must be renewed.

Any fees required and completion of the preparticipation drug test will be due before the first competition (game, race, match, etc.)

Information on forms and fees will also be found at www.ocusd.net

Girls Softball

On Saturday June 13, the girls Junior Fast Pitch Softball Oregon Team 1 the “Lady Hawks”, held on to a threerun lead to beat Oregon Team 2 by a score of 11-8.

The game was called after five innings due to the 1 3⁄4hour time limit.

The work is expected to continue through July, weather permitting. Photo by Earleen Hinton

Team 1 Lady Hawks traveled to Forreston on June 16 to play Forreston’s Junior Girls Fast Pitch softball team.

It was a fast-moving game with six innings completed well within the 1 3⁄4 hour time limit.

During the course of the game the young Lady Hawks fell victim to a costly double play and a rare bases loaded triple play by the Forreston defense.

Oregon countered with excellent defense and good pitching of their own to come away with a 5 – 2 victory.

Fireworks can pose safety hazard With the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, the Office of the State Fire Marshal reminds Illinois residents to leave fireworks to the experts.

Many injuries and fires occur each year from these devices and therefore should be used only by trained professionals.

Fireworks pose a danger to users and bystanders of all ages. As the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) explains, fireworks were responsible for an estimated 11,400 injuries and eight deaths in 2013.

Injuries typically result from the user playing with lit fireworks or igniting fireworks while holding the device.

Injuries can also be sustained from

device malfunctions, such as errant flight paths, devices that tip over and blowouts.

Those at the greatest risk of injury are young children under the age of nine.

Children often come in contact with devices that are perceived to be less powerful, such as sparklers and bottle rockets.

However, all fireworks have the potential for causing damage and injury. Sparklers, for instance, burn at temperatures of above 1,200 degrees – temperatures high enough to melt glass.

Fireworks are also responsible for extensive property damage every year due to inexperienced handlers and a lack of safety precautions.

They are volatile devices that are hard to predict before, during, and after use.

Illegal and homemade fireworks meet no safety standards and extreme caution should be taken if these items are found.

Under the Illinois Fireworks Act (425ILCS 35/1), it is illegal to possess, purchase or use consumer fireworks without a consumer display permit obtained from local authorities.

Help prevent accidents for you and your family by avoiding explosives and leaving fireworks to trained professionals.

For more information about fireworks safety, please visit http://www.sfm. illinois.gov.

Lightning Awareness Week June 21-27 Recent thunderstorms have produced spectacular lightning shows, but the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), the National Weather Service (NWS) and local emergency management agencies are urging people to stay safe by heading indoors during storms as part of Lightning Safety Awareness Week June 21-27.

“There’s no safe place outdoors when lightning is in the area,” said IEMA

Director James K. Joseph. “If you’re close enough to hear thunder, you’re close enough to be struck by lightning.

That first clap of thunder is your cue to get into a substantial building or hardtopped vehicle.”

Joseph said remembering the phrase, “When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors,” can help you stay safe this summer while you’re enjoying outdoor activities.

The catchy phrase is intended to

remind people that hearing thunder means you’re close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning.

Once inside a structure or hard-topped vehicle, stay there until 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder.

According to the NWS, there were no lightning-related fatalities in Illinois in 2014. Nationwide, 26 people were killed by lightning.

Officials say: When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors From B5 Most of those fatalities occurred outdoors, including people in open areas, under trees, working, in water or participating in other outdoor activities.

“While lightning fatalities have decreased significantly nationwide over the past two decades, far too many people still take unnecessary risks when thunderstorms are in the area,” said Chris Miller, warning coordination meteorologist with the NWS

in Lincoln.

“Every year, hundreds of people survive lightning strikes. However, many of these people are forced to cope with life-long neurological problems from their injuries,” he said. “The best advice to prevent a lightning strike continues to be: When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors.”

While less than 10 percent of people who are struck by lightning are killed, many lightning strike survivors suffer various degrees of

disability.

Only a few lightning strike victims actually suffer burns, and these are usually minor.

However, many lightning strike survivors are left with debilitating life-long effects, including memory loss, personality changes, fatigue, irreparable nerve damage, chronic pain and/ or headaches, difficulty sleeping and dizziness.

IEMA and the NWS offer the following tips for staying safe when thunderstorms approach:

Outdoor lightning safety tips: · No place outside is safe when thunderstorms are in the area. · If you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to strike you. · When you hear thunder, immediately move to a safe shelter. · Safe shelter is a substantial building or inside an enclosed, hard-topped vehicle. · Stay in the safe shelter at least 30 minutes after you

hear the last clap of thunder.

If there is no safe shelter anywhere nearby: · Seek lower elevation areas. · Never use a tree for shelter. · Immediately get out and away from pools, lakes and other bodies of water. · Stay away from all metallic objects (fences, power lines, poles, etc.). · Do not raise umbrellas or golf clubs above you.

People shouldn’t hesitate to help someone who has

been struck by lightning since victims do not carry an electrical charge.

The surge of electricity through a lightning victim’s body causes cardiac arrest in most fatalities, so immediate medical attention is critical.

If the victim doesn’t have a pulse and isn’t breathing, CPR should be administered immediately.

Ogle County Newspapers!

815 626 5365

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Problems will surface if you offer advice to a close friend.

Spend your time working on selfimprovement projects and ways to make your living space more comfortable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Travel and romance are highlighted. Plan to do something out of the ordinary. Express your feelings freely and let important relationships blossom. Your kindness and generosity will be appreciated.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t wait for others to notice your achievements. By being more assertive, you can make great strides personally and professionally. Take action and put more emphasis on moving forward.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You can’t do everything for everyone. Trying to be the perfect friend, relative or partner will be emotionally and physically draining. Leave room for some “me” time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Collaboration and joint ventures will be rewarding.

Explore realistic options for

improving your financial situation. Discuss your plans with a financial adviser and keep your eye on current trends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Love is in the air.

Someone you consider a friend has more interest in you than you realize. A social engagement will help true feelings emerge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Consider starting your own business. Sound out potential partnership prospects. With the right connections, you will be able to market your ideas. Invest in yourself, not in what someone else is offering.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Fend off lethargy by doing something completely unplanned. Try a new sport or go exploring. Educational and adventurous experiences will motivate you to do and be your best.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- An unanticipated houseguest will give you a chance to show off your hosting skills. Don’t be upset with the change in your routine. This is your time to shine.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Professionalism and a strong work ethic will stymie anyone who is trying to discredit you at work. Always use discretion when dealing with colleagues.

Keep your emotions in check.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Update your appearance and express the way you feel. You will be pleased with the results if you stick to subtle, classic changes. A social evening will lead to compliments.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be extra careful with your assets and possessions. Resist high-pressure sales pitches and get-rich-quick schemes. A hasty decision will set you back. Pay close attention to detail. ©2015 UFS

I will recommend Dan Vereide to all my friends and family.

• BY MIKE BLACKERT FROM PROPHETSTOWN, ILLINOIS JUNE 15, 2015

I had been on the hunt for a new work truck for over 6 months now. Due to my specific needs I guess some of the other dealers couldn’t fill my requests, but Brent at Majeski Motors called me back within hours of giving him my vehicle description with a few very nice trucks to choose from! I stopped in to meet with him, and he turned out to be a real super nice guy. He showed me the trucks online that fit my needs, and they drove out the next day over 300 miles each way to make me happy. I am sure glad that seeing a Majeski bumper sticker made me think of trying them out. They made me a customer for life!

• BY CHARLIE AND JACK SCHLINDWEIN FROM GENESEO, ILLINOIS JUNE 15, 2015

I contacted Brent on the truck after my son saw the vehicle listed on the Internet Brent was very helpful with giving me a good description of the truck and its condition. Since we were coming from an hour away, this really helped. We were pleasantly surprised that the truck was not only in as good condition as he suggested, but the few minor items we wanted addressed before delivery they are taking care of! A real class act up here in Sterling.

BY MARY JO HUNTER FROM STERLING, ILLINOIS | JUNE 15, 2015

•Thiswasmyfirstbuyingexperiencebymyself,andBrent was a total gentleman. He made me feel comfortable in every way, and made the process quick and enjoyable. I got the deal I was looking for, and would tell everyone to give these fellas a try!

BY TOM EAGLIN FROM STERLING, ILLINOIS | JUNE 15, 2015 • These guys took such great care of my granddaughter, and great

grandson, that I had to give them a try. I came away very impressed.
