Statue Status: More is needed to repair Black Hawk statue

Just over a week after its privatelyowned ambulance service closed down, Oregon’s ambulance calls continue to be answered by neighboring fire departments.

Oregon Fire Chief Don Heller said Monday that for the time being ambulances from other communities will answer ambulance calls in the Oregon Fire District. “I won’t have anymore information until after our meeting on July 9,� Heller said. “I won’t have anything more to say about the ambulance until after that.�

The Oregon Fire Protection District Board of Trustees will hold its regular monthly meeting on Wednesday, July 9 at 7 p.m. at the administration building at 106 S. First St., Oregon. The meeting is open to the public.

One of the topics that will likely be discussed is holding a referendum that would allow the fire district to tax district residents for an ambulance service run by the fire department.

Heller said the earliest that could appear in the ballot would be the Nov. 4 election.

Concealed carry policy adopted by county board

By Chris Johnson Reporter Bringing county policy in line with Illinois law caused a stir during the Ogle County Board meeting last week.

The discussion over concealed carry required two votes to approve. “Can we go to private session and hash this over?� said Lee Meyers, Byron, June 17. “This can not be discussed in closed session,� said board chairman Kim Gouker, Byron. “We are bringing our

personnel policy in line with Illinois legislation.� “It makes them (county employees) sitting ducks,� said Pat Saunders, Polo. “It bothers me that we adopt something written by Democrats in Chicago. Can we make changes to this?�

Board member Skip Kenney, Rochelle, had the same concerns. “I think we are better than that,� he said. “We can develop one for Ogle County.� “This is state law,� said Bill Welty, Chana. “I am not

sure you can change this.�

A roll call vote on the motion to approve the policy was requested by Zach Oltmanns, Stillman Valley.

One of the concerns raised was the wording about bringing a firearm on county property.

Board member Pat Nordman, Oregon, told the board the law is clear on what is allowed and Welty expanded on details of the law. “There is concealed carry and appropriate carry,�

Nordman said.

“Concealed carry allows loaded handguns in a car in any parking lot,� said Welty. “I can not exit the vehicle with a loaded weapon on county property.�

The concealed carry law allows a registered gun owner with a proper license to drive through parks, county, and school property. The gun can also be kept in the vehicle as long as it remains locked. “The new law does not take away any gun rights,� said state’s attorney Mike Rock. “You still have safe harbor rules.�

Gouker said if the state changes the concealed carry law the board could revisit and relax the policy. “I think the whole law is dumb,� said Lyle Hopkins, Polo. “Marking these buildings is the stupidest thing.�

He said criminals can target these buildings because they know the employees and customers do not have a gun.

The law calls for a sign with a gun in a red circle with a line through it to show guns are not allowed. “I think we have county

officials in a threatening position,� said Ron Colson, Mt. Morris.

Kenney suggested delaying the vote for 30 days. “I think the personnel committee can sit down and develop a policy better suited for our county,� he said. “My understanding is this is what we have,� said Gouker.

Rock said some employees could be authorized to carry a weapon.

Wandering bear visits Mt. Morris, moves on IDNR urges residents to leave bear alone

Mt. Morris’ wild visitor is apparently still on the move.

Although the last confirmed sighting was southwest of Mt. Morris last week, Robert Frazier, Acting Regional Commander for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday that the black bear has reportedly been seen in Carroll County as recently as Monday.

However, he said that sighting is unconfirmed.

The 200-pound male bear spent several hours in and near Mt. Morris on June 18, spending several hours in an oak tree a mile or so out of town, and then lumbering off through a cornfield to the west in the early evening.

Fines, B6 Library News, A3 Marriage Licenses, A4 Oregon Police, B2 Public Voice, A8

According to Mt. Morris Police Chief Jason White, the bear sightings started early in the morning. “Some time around 6:30 in the morning we got calls about a bear seen in the subdivision east of Dillehay Park,� he said.

Before that, the bear had been spotted in Chana on June 15. “I feel the bear just took the railroad tracks across the river and to Mt. Morris,� he said. “That would have kept him away from people.�

Somewhere around 6:30 a.m., a Mt. Morris resident, who didn’t want to be identified, saw the bear at the railroad tracks on Ill. 64 at the east edge of town.

The bear ran west and was near the medical clinic when he last saw it.

From there the bear apparently made his way west across backyards.

He was caught on a surveillance camera at Trinity

Lutheran Church running through yards on the other side of Brayton Road.

Church secretary Barb Diehl checked the tape that morning when she got to work. “He ran from behind LaBashes toward Garrisons [a half block west],� she said.

After that several people leaving an exercise session at Dillehay Park saw the bear as he crossed Ogle Avenue.

By then, word had spread around the community about the bear’s arrival and a crowd was gathering to catch a glimpse or snap a photo.

White said he and another Mt. Morris officer, Fire Chief Rob Hough, and Ogle County Deputy Brian Ketter chased the bear out of town after it was seen in the 400 block of South McKendrie Avenue. “We just kind of herded him south out of town,�

White said. “We wanted to get him away from people.�

80 percent of funds raised to repair Black Hawk From A1 urgent, Woods said, before the statue’s surface deteriorates even more.

Woods’ presentation included photos of the damaged areas, as well as illustrations of how the statue was constructed, and a plan for how to restore it.

The plan still needs the approval of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and the

Illinois Historical Preservation Agency, Rausa said.

The statue is under the jurisdiction of the IDNR. Once approved, the repair work will include removing bushes, which are holding moisture at the base of the statue; putting up scaffolding; and then removing the damaged areas.

After that experts will create forms that exactly duplicate the lines and curves

of the statue. The arms and other damaged areas will be remolded using a mixture of materials that matches the current concrete as closely as possible. “The urgency now is to put a very large restoration project in place,� she said.

The process will be slow and painstaking, Woods said, and probably will not be completed this year.

She said she hopes the scaffolding will be in place by mid-July with the work beginning sometime in August.

The statue will be covered with a tent over the winter to protect it from even more damage.

Woods said the statue has

been patched and repairs numerous times over the years.

Ironically, epoxy injections done in 1989-1990 to repair cracks actually made the damage worse, she said. “Epoxy is plastic,� Woods said. “It actually traps water and cause even more freezethaw damage.�

The epoxy will be removed from the cracks and the cracks will be repaired, she said.

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to all Native Americans and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the statue is situated on a 125-foot bluff.

It draws thousands of visitors each year. “It is a huge honor to work

on this project,� Woods said. “We understand the significance of a Lorado Taft statue.�

Rausa said fundraising efforts will continue. “We will be seeking donations. We will be knocking on doors again,� he said.

Nearly half the money already raised for the project came from a $350,000 grant the IDNR received from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

The rest came from donations, as well as funds raised during the annual Oregon Trail Days festival held at Lowden Park since 2010.

A large contributor was the Jeffris Family Foundation, Janesville, Wis., which gave a $150,000 matching grant.

The Chicago Black Hawks hockey team got on board with what Rausa said is a sizable donation, although he declined to specify how much.

To donate checks can be made out to the Illinois Conservation Foundation and marked for the Black Hawk Statue.

Donations can be mailed to Illinois Conservation Foundation, One Natural Resources Way, Springfield IL 62702.

Additional information about the damage and restoration will be published in next week’s papers.

From A1 coroner has a gun. “You have to decide as a board,� he said. “This follows state statute. I don’t like the way it is written. We can’t give employees more of a right than the state statue.�

Meyers asked if there was a time limit the board had to wait to revisit the discussion. “At this point it is in the personnel policy,� said Gouker. “We could entertain that in the future.� “If someone has a change it needs to go through the committee process,� said Welty.

The privately-owned Oregon Ambulance Service Inc. closed its doors at 6 a.m. on June 17 with little warning.

Betty Ferris, who comanages the service with her husband Jim, told the fire board about the plans to close on June 11.

She later said the reasons were financial.

Heller immediately began enlisting help from neighboring fire departments, which have tax-supported ambulance services.

The district, which is 120 square miles and bordered by 10 other fire districts, includes all of OregonNashua Township and portions of Pine Creek, Pine Rock, White Rock, Rockvale, Marion, Grand Detour, and Taylor Townships.

Heller said the district has been divided up in segments with each neighboring fire department covering the area closest to it.

Mt. Morris and Byron have been designated to handle calls within the City of Oregon.

Oregon is the only fire department in the area without an ambulance service funded by property taxes.

The Oregon Fire District was formed in 1977 after a referendum was passed in 1976.

Prior to that the fire department was owned by the City or Oregon.

Because it was city-owned, rural residents were required to pay for calls.

According to the fire department website, in 1975 the charge for rural fires was $150 for the first hour

and $100 an hour thereafter, usually paid by insurance.

Problems arose as some rural residents did not pay and city deficits increased.

The Oregon Ambulance Service Inc. was formed in 1971 as a not-for profit corporation.

Don Fuller, Oregon, said a local committee sought ways to form an ambulance service after the local funeral home that ran an ambulance then decided to discontinue it due to increasing state regulations.

Money for the ambulance service was raised by subscription.

Fuller said subscribers gave donations and in return were charged a reduced amount if they needed the ambulance.

Fuller was the first treasurer for the fledgling ambulance service.

10th CAL statue honors Phelps Visitors to the Ogle County Historical Society’s Living History and Old Time Craft Faire on June 21 got a sneak preview of the final sculpture of the Community Art Legacy.

The original clay sculpture of a bas-relief image of a depiction of John Phelps’ first landing on the shores of the Rock River in what would later become Ogle County, was created by Steven Carpenter, a resident of York, Maine.

“The inspiration for this came last spring when I Steven Carpenter poses by the John Phelps statue he created for the was in Oregon Community Art Legacy. The work is the tenth statue commissioned for a wedding,” John Phelps

by CAL in 10 years. Photo by Earleen Hinton

said Carpenter, who is the brother of Craig Carpenter, an Oregon resident.

“My nephew Jake said I should try for it so I did.”

Carpenter met with CAL officials who suggested Phelps be the center of the sculpture.

“I didn’t want to just do a 7-foot statue of Phelps by himself so I did some sketches and came up with this composite,” Carpenter said.

Carpenter began taking sculpture classes while working as a landscaper/stonescaper.

Those talents helped him create this project.

“I like working in threedimensional textures so this just started clicking,” he said.

The piece depicts Phelps in 1833 when he and fellow traveler, Stephen A. St. Cyr, explored the Rock River Valley by canoe.

The inBronze Foundry in Mt. Morris, will cast the finished clay into bronze.

Betty Adams, a member of CAL, said this is the final CAL sculpture.

“This is so much different than the others we’ve done,” she said.

“The Expedition of the Rock River Valley” will likely be located behind the Oregon Coliseum where the city’s public swimming pool used to be.

CAL was formed in 2004 by a group of Oregon citizens with the purpose of installing “Ten sculptures in Ten years” as an ongoing tribute to sculptor Lorado Taft.

It was formed under the initiative of Jeff Adams, sculptor and foundry operator of inBronze Foundry.

Fundraising for this project is continuing.

Phelps moved family to Oregon in the spring of 1875 Editor’s note: Otto Dick, Oregon, has researched the people, places, and events important in Oregon’s history for the Ogle County Historical Society. This article is the fourth in a series about Oregon founder John Phelps.

By Otto Dick In 1833, three years before John Phelps founded Oregon, he was living on a farm in Schuyler County, Ill. John, seeing no prospect of improving his financial condition, returned to the Galena lead mines to collect some of his old notes and accounts.

He left his brother, G. W. Phelps, and his son, James, to farm his land.

At Galena, John stated his prospects brightened, and in a short time, he collected about $1,400 of his old debts.

He returned home to supply his family in his words, “with the necessaries which they

stood in need.”

Once again John left his family and returned to the lead mines with Stephen St. Cyr, a Frenchman who was a well suited guide.

John had planned to explore the beautiful valley of the Rock River, which he had passed through in 1829.

He and his old friend, Stephen St. Cyr, started their expedition near Mineral Point on the Pecatonica River in a small canoe. It took seven days to reach Rock River.

They descended the Rock River to where Rockford is now located.

They kept traveling south looking for land covered with trees.

About a mile north of where Oregon now stands they saw a tent where the old fairgrounds north of Oregon stood.

John was surprised to meet an old friend, Col. William S. Hamilton, a son of Alexander Hamilton, who was killed in

This undated photo depicts John Phelps’ double log cabin. Photo provided by Otto Dick

a duel with Aaron Burr.

Hamilton was surveying the valley of the Rock River into townships.

John asked Hamilton for a good spot to locate his home.

Hamilton recommended a spot with good timber, good water, and a beautiful rolling prairie three miles west of where Oregon is now located.

He made his first claim at that location for his home in 1833.

His second claim in November of 1833 was where Oregon now stands.

After examining the river banks on both sides, this was where he intended to lay out a road from Galena to Chicago.

In December John and his friend St. Cyr “packed up their blankets, left our canoe, and steered our course for the lead mines, on foot. We arrived there in three days, undergoing much fatigue, hardship and suffering on our route.”

In the spring of 1834, John left Schuyler County with his two brothers, B. T. and G. W., and a hired man to

open his new farm, planted and fenced 40 acres in corn, built a log cabin and returned home.

When John returned in the fall to harvest his corn he learned John Dixon influenced the commissioners to build a road from Galena through Dixon to Naperville.

John was disappointed and went to the legislature to pass a bill for a road from Galena through Oregon to Chicago.

He was appointed one of the commissioners to locate the road. This road was 30 miles shorter than the Dixon Route.

John moved his family to Ogle County in the spring of May 17, 1835.

When they arrived at their farm they discovered the Indians had taken his storage of corn.

John lived on the farm for 39 years. He died April 1, 1874 and his wife died July 23, 1883.

The following are his some

of his accomplishments in Ogle County.

1.Laid out the town of Oregon in 1835 2.Built the first sawmill in this area on Pine Creek 3.Built the first ferry across the Rock River 4.Went to the legislature to create Ogle County in 1837 5.Laid out Riverview Cemetery 6.First Recorder of Deeds 7.First Justice of the Peace, elected in 1836 8.His daughter named Oregon City (later changed to Florence) 9.Laid out the road from Galena through Oregon to Chicago 10.

IDNR is urging residents to leave the bear alone From A1 Only 10 feet away from the bear at one point, White said he is “a very healthy, beautiful bear.�

The bear next showed up southwest of Mt. Morris on property owned by Sue Felker, Mt. Morris.

He climbed up in an oak tree where he yawned, stretched, and settled down for a lengthy afternoon nap.

A crowd of at least 30 people followed his progress.

A while after the excitement died down and the onlookers returned home, the bear made his way down and went on his way, White said. “If people are concerned about the welfare of that bear, the best thing they can do is leave it alone,� White said. “The worst thing they can do is what happened in Mt. Morris.�

The bear’s best chance of survival is for people to keep their distance, so he can find his way back to his natural habitat and not become accustomed to humans, said Chris Young, a spokesman with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. “We have been counseling people to leave him alone.

So far, it’s been going really well, so we’re going to keep reiterating that message,�

Young said.

Not only are crowds of onlookers stressing out the bear, but they’re also irritating the people on whose property they’re trampling. “People need to be aware that you can’t go on private property without permission.

Landowners are getting testy,� said Acting Capt.

Laura Petreikis, with the

“We have been counseling people to leave him alone. So far, it’s been going really well, so we’re going to keep reiterating that message,�

Chris Young, Illinois Department of Natural Resources Spokesman Illinois Conservation Police. “We want to protect the bear, but we’re also going to protect the property that the bear goes onto.�

That means anyone caught trespassing on private property, blocking a roadway or creating any other kind of hazard will be ticketed, by the conservation police or any other law enforcement agency involved, she said. “It’s fine to view the bear from a distance, but we want to leave it alone so it doesn’t become aggressive,� she said. “Give it its space. “It’s like any other wild animal, and you should never corner or chase any wild animal.�

The bruin is likely a young male, pushed out of his home territory by adults and sent off to make his own way in the world, Young said. He’s minding his own business, doing what bears do: looking for a home, and probably a mate.

He’s also not staying in one place. Because he’s not finding suitable habitat here, he seems to be looping his way back toward the Mississippi River, which is a good thing, Young said.

The IDNR does not want to trap him, for a variety of reasons: He’s shown no signs of aggression. Finding his own habitat is what he’s supposed to do. No zoo is going to want him, and

there’s no reason to lock him up in a research facility ... in short, they want to let the bear be a bear. “If the bear poses a threat, we will have to re-evaluate, but right now it hasn’t given us any reason to,� Young said.

Illinois once had thousands of black bears, but by the mid1800s, settlers had harvested them all for their meat and hides, so “it’s a special thing that the bear’s here,� he said.

The IDNR is keeping track of the youngster, which was spotted more than a dozen times in DeKalb County last week before being seen Friday afternoon in a large stack of timber on a farm in Ogle County near Rochelle.

Before that, he also was sighted several times in Stephenson, Winnebago and Boone counties, all of which border Wisconsin, where he A black bear looks around a branch after a crowd formed bear the oak tree he had is believed to have originated. climbed southwest of Mt. Morris last week. Photo by Earleen Hinton The little Ogle County bruin probably won’t be the last to visit the Sauk Valley, either. “We can probably expect one from time to time,� Young said.

If all goes well, this one should just pad off into his future, wandering off the way he wandered in. “The best bet is just to let him make his way,� Young said.

Extension offers June 30 class on raising backyard chickens The University of lllinois Extension will offer a class on home-scale poultry production called Raising Backyard Chickens Right on Monday, June 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Ogle County Extension office, 421 W. Pines Rd., Oregon.

The class is being offered because many people, whether they are on a rural acreage or an urban homestead, are becoming increasingly interested in raising chickens in their backyards. “Whether motivated by extremely local food, or simply having a showy pet to decorate the yard, there are a number of things you need to know about raising chickens so that your family and your birds can live happy and healthy together,� said Andy Larson, a new local foods systems and small farms educator with University of Illinois Extension.

Larson recently joined University of Illinois Extension serving Boone, DeKalb and Ogle counties.

While new to the position, Larson is no stranger to poultry farming, or the Extension program. He has been working in agriculture with extension in both Iowa and Illinois since 2004, with programs on planning, growing, and marketing for small, alternative, and diversified agriculture enterprises.

Larson and his young family have returned to the family farm in northern Illinois, where he is helping his wife and kids add to the family business with a poultry enterprise.

It is this experience that has led him to record a series of informational videos for extension about raising backyard poultry, which are in post-production and will be

released on YouTube in the coming weeks.

Participants will discuss: choosing chicken breeds and starting the chicks; considerations for building a coop and designing a chicken run; overcoming winter weather and pressure from predators; and handling and selling eggs in Illinois safely and legally.

The program fee is $5, payable in advance or at the door. Pre-registration is preferred to ensure adequate space and materials.

To register or for more information on Raising Backyard Chickens Right, call University of Illinois Extension office at 815-7322191.

Participants can also go to the website at web. extension.illinois.edu/bdo or email extension program coordinator, Lisa Valle at lkvalle@illinois.edu.

Skateboarder is filming journey

By Vinde Wells Editor Fulfilling a personal dream and finding out what makes people tick brought Kevin Kreider rolling into Mt. Morris and Oregon earlier this month as he skateboards his way from Los Angeles to New York City.

Kreider, who was born in Seoul, Korea and adopted by an American couple at the age of 3, decided to make the trip in a unique way to strengthen his connection to America.

His trip and its experiences along with the people he

meets along the way are being videotaped for what Kreider hopes will be a documentary film to encourage others to step out and fulfill their dreams. “I’m doing this because I was unhappy with my life and I wanted to do something about it,� Kreider said. “I was just dissatisfied because I thought my career was over.

I only knew modeling and acting for six years. I wanted to fulfill my own dream and my own goal. It’s proven to be one of the most fulfilling things I’ve done in my life.�

Success in acting and modeling created so much

stress in Kreider’s life that he suffered from hair loss, a threat to his appearancebased career. “I wanted to see America through my own eyes,� he said. “I’m exploring what obstacles prevents people from fulfilling their dreams.�

He left Los Angeles April 15 and rolled into Ogle County on Ill. 64 on June 11.

By June 23 he was in Fort Wayne, Ind. Kreider made the first part of the trip with a friend Rocky Chow following him in a chase car. However, work responsibilities required Chow to return to

Los Angeles once the pair reached Chicago.

The prospect of making the rest of the trip alone left Kreider undaunted.

He said his back pack will be larger and heavier, but he was prepared for what might happen along the way.

A native of Philadelphia, Kreider said he plans to return to California after his trip. “I want to learn to edit film and still pursue acting,� he said.

To follow Kreider’s trip online go to Kevin & His Skateboard.

Contributions to his efforts can be made via PayPal.

Kevin Kreider navigates the intersection of Ill. 2 and Ill. 64 as he heads east in his skateboarding trek from California to New York.

Veteran firefighter retires after 54 years of service

By Vinde Wells Editor A veteran firefighter stepped down last week after more than a century of volunteering with the Polo Fire Protection District.

Robert Karrow, 77, retired from the district’s board of trustees June 16 because he has moved to Mt. Morris, ending a volunteer career that started 54 years ago.

Fire board president Bob Cassens expressed appreciation for Karrow’s years of service. “Nobody has put more thought into this than Bob,�

Cassens said. “He will be missed.�

Karrow joined the fire department as a firefighter in 1960.

He became fire chief in 1975 and served in that position until 1994.

After his tenure as chief, his fellow firefighters voted him an honorary member of the department.

He was elected to the fire

board in 2006 and has served there ever since.

Karrow joined the department because a friend encouraged him to. “A friend [Larry Wagner] who was in the process of joining said ‘why don’t you join, too?’ Things just kept expanding from there,�

Karrow said.

He said he enjoyed the camaraderie with other fire department members, the excitement of going on fire calls, and helping the residents of the community. “I liked everything about it,� Karrow said. “It meant everything. It was part of my life.�

He credited his late wife Sharon for supporting his dedication and efforts. “She always backed me up in everything I did,� he said.

Over the years, technology has brought changes and improvements to every aspect of firefighting, Karrow said, from gear, equipment, and vehicles to training and procedures.

Church members participate in 5K Several members of the Oregon Church of God participated in the Run For God 5K Challenge and ran in the June 14 Biggest Loser 5K in Rockford.

This group was the second graduating class from the 12week Bible study and the Run For God 5K fitness program.

Congratulations to Sue Andrew, Donna Smith, Kathy Rager, Kayla Raper, and Shelley and Todd Myers for completing the 5K race.

Others completing the course but not participating in the 5K were Dennis, Forrest, and Joel Cheatwood.

A large number of people joined the group throughout the weeks of Bible study and fitness.

The group continues to grow and will be competing in additional races in the future.

For more information on the Run For God 5K Challenge visit www.runforgod.com All are welcome.

“It’s completely changed.

There’s more ruled and regulations that you have to go by today,� he said. “More training is required.�

Years ago firefighters were alerted to fires when the siren at the station was activated and by “fire phones� at their homes.

A call to the fire department triggered a special ring on firefighters’ phones.

Without 911, telecommunicators, pagers, and cell phones, calling other fire departments for help had to be done on landlines. “I think the changes are all for the better,� Karrow said.

He has passed along a legacy of service and dedication.

His son Tony Karrow is presently the Polo Fire Chief, and his grandson Chad Karrow serves as a firefighter.

Robert Karrow, front row center, stepped down from the Polo Fire Protection District Board of Trustees June 16 after more than 50 years of service with the fire department.

Also pictured in the front row are: Fire Board President Bob Cassens, left, and Polo Fire Chief Tony Karrow, Robert’s son. In the back row are: Trustee Charlie Clothier, Assistant Fire Chief Jim Ports, Trustee Mark Bergstrom, and Trustee Randy Wagner.

OHS softball team earns award The Oregon High School softball team recently received the top honor for the Sportsmanship Award sponsored annually by the White Pines Officials Association (WPOA).

This award is given to the team that demonstrates high quality sportsmanship across three categories Team Members, Coaches/ Administration, and Fans.

Oregon softball had the best composite score of all schools in the northwest

Illinois area.

“Your school should be very proud of attaining this rating,” wrote Darwin Powell, Sportsmanship Chairperson of the WPOA. “Such a score necessitates the good sportsmanship of nearly everyone involved in your program.

“As officials, we greatly appreciate witnessing good sportsmanship as we officiate the season’s games and we hope you will keep up the good work.”

“This is outstanding recognition for our studentathletes,” said Oregon Activities Director Mike Lawton.

“To win an award such as this speaks highly about the girls and the kinds of positive behaviors shown on the diamond this past spring.

It’s a real credit not only to them, but to our coaches and supporters as well.”

OHS will receive a gym banner from the WPOA for permanent display.

Junior Tackle registration July 20 Registrations for OregonMt. Morris Junior Tackle Football will be conducted at Oregon High School Sunday, July 20.

Seventh and eighth graders will register from 5 to 5:45 p.m. Registration for fifth and sixth grade is from 5:45 to 6:30 p.m.

All equipment will be handed out immediately after registration.

The cost to participate is $75 for fifth, sixth, and seventh graders.

Weather is serious subject for the IHSA

By Andy Colbert Reporter Starting with the first weekend of football season being delayed by thunderstorms and ending with state finals in softball, baseball and track all being impacted by the weather, it was a trying time for high school sports.

In between, there were also numerous cancellations for winter sporting events due to conditions brought on by a so-called polar vortex. It wasn’t just the cold, snow and blowing winds either.

The heat brought out cancellations last August and

The cost for eighth graders is $100, which includes a game jersey.

A player’s registration must be completed and the participation fee paid prior to participating in practice, no exceptions.

The first day of practice is Monday, July 28 starting at 6 p.m. at the south end of the soccer fields at Oregon Park West .

Contact Roy Snyder at 815561-6494 or 815-673-9201, Kevin Barringer at 815-732-

4911, or Lou Wehmhoefer at 815-732-2335 for more information.

A few coaching positions are open and anyone interested in coaching should call Snyder.

OHS Coach John Bothe will conduct a “Junior Iron Hawks” for all junior tackle players, free of charge, from 4 to 4:30 p.m. on July 14, July 16, July 21, and July 23 at the high school practice field.

Equipment required is shirt, shorts and shoes.

Sports Column September.

As a calloused 56-year old, my first thought is that we have become pansies when it comes to the weather.

Last fall, this column chided cross country for canceling meets because of the heat.

It doesn’t help matters that weather-related issues are blown out of proportion by the media and/or weather forecasters. The next big storm is coming, stay inside and hide they warn.

In effect, there has become a knee-jerk reaction to the weather by the local school districts. Besides the increasing number of snow days, there has also been tendency by athletic departments to cancel various sporting events because of the weather.

Weather is a very serious subject with the IHSA. They

have guidelines for schools to follow, which recommend suspending play for a half hour any time thunder is heard or lightning is seen.

This can go on for hours, as evidenced by the 4 1/2-hour delay during the 1A track preliminaries.

There is a wide range of opinions on this. Some people feel it is prudent to heed these warnings and not take any chances at all. Others feel the IHSA has gone overboard and that common sense should prevail instead.

The problem is that no one is willing to make common sense judgments anymore. Instead of finding a compromise between practicality and safety, the scale has tipped entirely towards safety.

Sure, we can cloak ourselves in fear and live in

a world where no one ever gets hurts. That’s where our society has been heading for quite some time and it is not a positive development.

By imposing stringent weather guidelines, the IHSA and its member schools can potentially limit their legal liability. I would venture to say this is more about legal issues than safety concerns.

Mike Cain recently mentioned to me about a bicycle ride across Iowa he and thousands other did.

When inclement weather cropped up, including lightning, everyone kept on riding. Maybe, there’s the thought of safety in numbers?

No one was hurt and this case differed from high school sports in that each person was responsible for their own safety, as opposed to the school bearing the

burden for everyone.

Thus, I am sympathetic to athletic directors and school administrators that have to make the hard calls on weather. Indeed, this is a sensitive subject that may not have a solution.

It’s a pleasure to acknowledge more sportsmanship awards for an Oregon athletic program.

This time it is the softball team, led by first-year coach Jay Holley.

The program was recognized with the highest rating in northwest Illinois by the White Pines Officials Association.

That honor is voted on the by the umpires from the association and that group takes sportsmanship quite seriously.

Additionally, the team earned a first-place in

sportsmanship in a vote by Big Northern conference coaches.

Well done girls and thank you coach Holley for instilling values that bring honor to Oregon high school.

Mix It Up Event

Creativity was displayed during annual Mix-it-Up

By Chris Johnson Reporter The annual Mix-It-Up sidewalk painting event saw 55 squares painted June 21.

Julie Reckamp, who does publicity for the event, said many of the squares were painted by family and groups.

“What I love about Mix It Up is the meshing of conversation, art, great food and the outdoors,” said Reckamp. “I love walking around and talking with the participants and watching them work. This year we had live music too, which added a lot.”

Dave and Amber Coffey of Epic Acoustic donated their time to perform at the event.

Each square had a unique take on art.

“There are a lot of different approaches to painting squares,” said Reckamp.

“Some individuals sketch out their idea ahead of time, pencil it on the square and then paint. Some just grab their kit and begin painting.”

Some of the artists painting the squares brought their own supplies in addition to the ones provided by the event.

“There really is no one approach, which is great about the event,” she said.

“While the end product can be fun to look at, it is really more about the process of creating art and having a great time. We just want everyone to have fun.”

Reckamp noticed the Currier family who had an abstract twist to painting.

“There were two kids who

just wanted to squirt out all of their paint and smear it together,” she said. “They were having a great time.”

A warm sunny day helped with the attendance.

Reckamp said 27 squares were sold on the day of the event.

“Some of those might have stayed home if the weather had been bad,” she said.

“Last year, it poured right as the event was beginning, washing away the white base coat. It made for some messy painting. Although a lot of participants stuck around to paint, a dry pavement is a much better surface to work with.”

Reckamp works with Maja Shoemaker who organizes the event.

“Shoemaker is the driving force behind this event,” said Reckamp. “She does a ton of Aiden Currier, 6, gets his hands dirty to paint his sidewalk square at Oregon’s Mix Park June 21 during the annual Mix It Up. Photo by Chris Johnson work to pull this off.”

Household recycling sites to be closely monitored Illegal dumping at bins may spell end of program

By Vinde Wells Editor Misuse of recycling containers has prompted county officials to take a hard look at one recycling program and to discontinue another.

Because of illegal dumping outside the bins, Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department Director Steve Rypkema said last week that officials have tightened monitoring at household recycling stations throughout the county and will consider other options during upcoming planning sessions.

For the same reason, the electronics recycling

program will be discontinued at the end of this month and a new plan put in place in July.

For household recycling, large roll-off containers are located at Byron, Forreston, Oregon, Monroe Center, and Rochelle and are overseen and paid for by the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department.

A site in Polo has been provided by Moring Disposal Service at no cost to the city or Ogle County.

An additional container provided by Advanced Disposal Services is located at the Orchard Hills Landfill.

The containers are intended for those who do not have curbside recycling at their residence, such as apartment dwellers and people who live outside of town where they cannot get curbside recycling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past few

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past few months, the number of illegal dumping incidents at these sites have increased so much that continuation of the program is being threatened,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Steve Rypkema months, the number of illegal dumping incidents at these sites have increased so much that continuation of the program is being threatened,â&#x20AC;?

Rypkema said.

Items such as tires, construction or remodeling waste, electronics, household garbage, hazardous waste, scrap metal, and other waste are being left in and around the recycling containers, causing added expenses and labor.

The containers are intended strictly for household recyclable items including

newspaper, flattened cardboard, other paper such as magazines, catalogs, junk mail, and cereal boxes; plastic containers and bottles with the recycling symbols numbered 1-7, except Styrofoam; empty aluminum and steel cans and lids; and empty glass bottles and jars.

Items may not be left on the ground or outside of the container.

No plastic bags, batteries, electronics, diapers, containers with product left in them, food waste, or other household trash are allowed.

Several months ago, the problem of garbage being left outside the container in Polo became so severe that the city installed surveillance cameras aimed at the site.

Rypkema said that has helped the situation, and the county may follow suit at the other sites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have tightened up monitoring and put up signs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next step will be surveillance cameras.â&#x20AC;?

One of the problems Rypkema said is that the containers fill up fast leaving residents with no place to put even the allowed items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes they fill up faster than we anticipate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to arrange for more frequent pick-ups but that adds to the cost.â&#x20AC;?

Residents could help that by flattening boxes and plastic bottles, he said,

leaving more room in the recycling bins.

Another problem is businesses using the bins, Rypkema said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like the fact that businesses are wanting to recycle their waste, but this program is just not designed to handle the volume from businesses and residents,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They must contact their local waste hauling company to get recycling at their place of business. They are not allowed to use the drop-off containers.â&#x20AC;?

Citations and fines may be imposed for those who dump illegally at the sites. Fines of up to $1,500 can be imposed for open dumping under Illinois law.

For more information call the Ogle County Solid Waste Department at 815-732-4020.

Electronics recycling program to be replaced Officials blame misuse by public as the reason The current residential electronics drop off recycling program maintained by the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department (OCSWMD) will be terminated next week.

Monday, June 30 is the final day that the containers will be open to the public.

The containers are located at the OCSWMD office on Pines Road in Oregon and at the Byron Forest Preserve, just off of German Church Road south of Byron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason for this action is due to the extraordinary cost to the county to continue the program â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;as isâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and recent problems of illegal dumping in and next to these bins,â&#x20AC;? said Reita Nicholson, adminstrative assistant with

OCSWMD. The department will now begin working with Secure Recycling Services (SRS), Dixon, to provide a new drop off site to make electronics recycling available for Ogle County residents, Nicholson said in a press release.

Beginning July 25, electronics may be dropped off at the Ogle County Solid Waste Management Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attached garage, 909 W. Pines Rd,, Oregon, on the last Friday of each month, unless there is a holiday.

The dates for the remainder of 2014 are as follows: July 25, Aug. 29, Sept. 26, Oct. 31, Nov. 21 (week early due to holiday), and Dec. 26. The hours will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Nicholson advised residents to check in at the Solid Waste Department for assistance.

A $10 fee will be charged for each microwave oven brought in for

recycling. Checks should be made payable to Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department.
