IHPA approves restoration plan for Taft statue

By Vinde Wells Editor The numbers aren’t all tallied yet but organizers are pleased with the attendance and everything else about this year’s Ogle County Fair. “There were just people all over the place checking everything out,� said fair board president Harlan Holm. “The fair was excellent.

Tractor pulls are fun for Polo man

By Chris Johnson Reporter Black smoke, bouncing front tires, and loud engines were all part of the Ogle County Fair on July 31.

Local resident Bill Clothier, Polo, was competing in the afternoon tractor pull.

He brought his Farmall 1466 Turbo to the line and went down the track in the 12,500 pound division.

When the flag was waived to end his run, Clothier finished with a 313 foot pull.

Two feet short of a full pull. “I just missed the pull off,� said Clothier after missing the full pull. “I was close today but I am in the hunt.

Other tractors have 200 hp more than this one.�

Clothier used to compete in the antique tractor pull and decided to try the larger show.

He attended two tractor pulls this year, Leaf River Summer Daze and the fair.

“I like to stay close to home,� Clothier said. “You meet good friendly people. It makes it fun. It is 99 percent fun completing in tractor pulls.�

The other percent is heavy lifting.

After the 12,500 pound pull Clothier had to get ready for the 14,500 pound class. “The weights on the wheel are 75 pounds per pair,� he said. “The weights on the front are 100 pound or light 67 pound weights.�

He had to get the tractor ready for the 14,500 pound class and he was adding weights to ensure his tractor would be approved when going over the scale. “It is a busy day to get everything done on time,� he said.

Clothier enjoys knowing he is competitive with his tractor and sometimes just misses a top finish. “You never know,� he said. “Any tractor can win.�

It’s one down and one to go for the Black Hawk Statue.

One of the two state agencies whose approval is needed has given the goahead to a plan to restore the world-renowned statue. “The IHPA [Illinois Historic Preservation Agency] did finally approve the plan, and it’s now on to the IDNR [Illinois Department of Natural Resources],�

Frank Rausa, Sterling, said Tuesday.

Rausa is a member of the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, the organization spear-heading restoration efforts and fundraising for the project.

He said he expects to get approval from the IDNR in the next few days.

Once that happens, the scaffolding can go up and the work on the landmark can begin.

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to all Native Americans and located at Lowden State Park near Oregon, the statue draws thousands of visitors each year. It was unveiled in 1911.

Testing and evaluations done recently by Thornton Tomasetti, Chicago, an architectural firm that provides engineering design, investigation, and analysis services to clients worldwide, showed that three areas of the statue greatly need repairs.

Chunks of the concrete have fallen from the folded arms of the statue, and more areas are loose and ready to fall.

Two die, one injured when motorcycles collide One victim from Lanark, two from Chicago

By Vinde Wells Editor Two men were killed and a woman critically injured Aug. 3 when two motorcycles collided on Ill. 64 east of Mt. Morris.

Richard Zimmerman, 67, Lanark, and Michael Gonzalez, 50, Chicago, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash in the 3,000 block of West Ill. 64 less than a mile east of Mt. Morris, Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said in a press release.

where she remained in critical condition Tuesday afternoon.

A portion of Ill. 64 was closed for more than two hours due to the crash.

Police said Zimmerman, a former Oregon and Mt. Morris resident, was driving a 1992 Harley Davidson eastbound in his lane when a westbound 2009 Kawasaki, driven by Gonzalez, attempted to pass other westbound traffic and pulled into the eastbound lane of travel.

Gonzalez’s motorcycle collided nearly head-on with Zimmerman’s motorcycle in the eastbound lane of travel.

The crash occurred at 11 a.m.

After the impact, Zimmerman and his motorcycle skidded into the ditch embankment on the south side of the roadway.

Gonzalez, and his motorcycle continued westbound on the roadway for several hundred

feet before entering the ditch embankment on the north side of the roadway.

The Gonzalezes were apparently riding with a group of at least 30 other motorcycles.

Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn said he did not know if Gonzalez was attempting to pass another motorcycle or some other vehicle.

The accident remains under investigation.

A spokeswoman for the sheriff’s department said it could be several months before the crash report would be completed.

Sheriff’s police were assisted by Mt. Morris Fire Department and Emergency Medical Service, the Oregon Fire Department, the Mt. Morris and Oregon Police Departments, and the Ogle County Coroner.

Fair was a success

In Memoriam: Beloved police dog is put to sleep after cancer diagnosis “It’s with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of our former K-9 Oz,” Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said Tuesday.

In 2005 Sgt. Joe Brooks returned to the Oregon Police Department from a month long training academy with Oz, an 18-month-old Malinois.

“We were able to purchase Oz after having received donations from area businesses and citizens,” DeHaan said.

Oz was bred in the Netherlands and responded to Dutch commands.

“He was trained to detect 12 different illegal narcotic drugs and was also a fantastic tracker,” DeHaan said.

When not on official patrol, the pair could be seen at numerous school and community functions demonstrating how Oz could sniff out illegal drugs.

But the highlight of those demonstrations was always the face time Oz would spend with the kids and adults, calmly allowing anyone to pet him and rub his large, upright ears.

Oz received plenty of that

at his official retirement party on July 10, 2012 at the Oregon City Hall. Members of the public brought Oz giftwrapped bones, dog treats, and fond farewells.

“Oz was experiencing some minor health issues at the time and we felt it was best to allow him to rest and recover,” DeHaan said.

“He doesn’t have to work anymore,” said Brooks in 2012. “He just gets to be a dog and have some fun.”

After his retirement, Oz continued to live with Brooks’ family and his other dog, Roxie.

Brooks received the devastating news on Aug. 2 that Oz was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and to prevent his prolonged suffering he made the difficult decision to have Oz put down.

“Sgt. Brooks and Oz did great work for the City of Oregon and its citizens, from visiting children in their classrooms, doing K-9 demonstrations, to making countless drug busts over the years,” DeHaan said. “Oz made a great impact and will certainly be missed by all.”

Statue to be repaired From A1 in mid-July when a crew removed the bushes and limestone blocks from around the base of the statue and put up a fence around it.

Once the scaffolding is in place, Rausa said, the team will begin doing “mock-ups” or testing various mixtures of concrete and other materials to see which one will work the best to restore the areas of the statue damaged by time and weather.

A rededication ceremony will be held once the work is

quite as large as last year’s all-time record of 18,500 over the five-day run, Holm said all the events drew lots of people.

The 161st Ogle County Fair was held Wednesday, July 30 through Sunday, Aug. 3 at the fairgrounds just west of Oregon.

The most popular event, as usual, was the Demolition Derby on Saturday night.

“The Demo Derby is always number one,” Holm said.

The rodeo, tractor pulls, and carnival also drew large crowds and the free shows — Galaxy Girl and free-style motocross — were also wellattended.

“The free carnival rides are hard to beat,” Holm said with a chuckle. “The lines were long at all the rides.”

A paid admission at the

gate included a wrist band for unlimited carnival rides.

Wrist bands were a different color for each day of the fair.

Holm couldn’t say enough for the weather.

“I cannot remember the last time we had temperatures in the 70s and no rain for the entire fair,” he said. “It was perfect.”

Storms in the forecast may have dampened Friday’s attendance somewhat, he said.

Although predicted to begin by early afternoon, the thunderstorms didn’t materialize until after 9 p.m. when most fairgoers were ready to call it a day anyway.

Holm said he monitored the storms by keeping in frequent contact with the Ogle County Sheriff’s Police who were at the fair.

“They assured me we had nothing to worry about,” he said.

done, probably next July.

So far, approximately $725,000 has been raised toward the repairs.

Rausa an additional $75,000 to $100,000 will likely be needed to complete the project.

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.

Sewer lines to be cleaned

and televised over 8 weeks Oregon’s sanitary sewer system will be cleaned and televised in the next several weeks.

The City of Oregon has retained the services of VisuSewer to clean and determine the condition of the main sewer line that serves the city.

A specially designed sewer televising camera will be utilized to complete the inspection, which is scheduled to start Monday, Aug. 11 and expected to take eight to 10 weeks.

Visu-Sewer uses a high pressure jet machine to clean

the main sewer line.

The cleaning process can cause pressure changes in the sewers attached to residences.

This should not affect most homes, but in some homes that have inadequate or partially blocked vents, water may be sucked out, leaving a dry trap.

It could also force the water out of the drains, splashing the area around the drain.

To avoid excessive splatter, close toilet lids and cover drains with a bucket or mat.

After the crew has left your neighborhood, run a gallon

or so of water into each drain to fill the trap with water to keep any sewer odor out of the home.

Areas not affected by the cleaning and televising include Century Hills, Terrace View and Fairgrounds Subdivisions, along with the east side of Oregon.

Residents are thanked for their patience and cooperation while the project is completed.

For more information or to report problems call Dave Kent, Oregon Water and Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator at 815-732-7098.

Farwells founded ranch and funded Texas State Capitol 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 the last of a series of three articles he has written about the Farwells.

By Otto Dick In 1879 the Texas Legislature offered 3,000,000 acres of land for investors to finance a new state capitol building.

In 1882 the Legislature struck a deal with a syndicate headed by Charles B. and John V. Farwell of Chicago.

They agreed to build a new $3,000,000 Texas State Capitol building in Austin in exchange for 3,000,000 acres in the Panhandle as payment.

In 1885 the Farwell’s founded the XIT Ranch.

The “first cattle, long of leg and long of horn rolled onto

the XIT ranch. Thousands of hooves drummed up the trail and the longhorns were on the XIT Ranch,� according to an account.

At its peak the ranch handled 150,000 head of cattle within its 1,500 miles of fencing. The ranch also had 325 windmills and 100 dams.

XIT Ranch rules 1.No employee was allowed to carry any weapon 2.Gambling and playing cards were prohibited.

3.No liquor or intoxicating beverages 4.No employees were allowed to hunt wild game of any kind on the ranch.

5.Employees were not allowed to own any of the horses or cattle on the ranch.

In 1901 they started selling off the land. By 1905, most of the land was subdivided with large tracts being sold to other cattlemen and small amounts of land being sold to

farmers.

The city of Dalhart, Texas hosts an annual XIT Rodeo and Reunion the first Thursday through Sunday of August.

Lake Forest, located north of Chicago Charles Farwell is credited with helping found the town of Lake Forest in 1856-57.

In 1876 he underwrote the construction of College Hall, North Hall and a gymnasium at Lake Forest College. He wanted to ensure a co-ed liberal arts college near home for his daughter, Anna, who graduated from Lake Forest College in 1889.

In 1889 Charles donated land for Farwell Field which opened in 1903 for Lake Forest’s football and baseball teams.

Farwell Field was used as a training facility for the Chicago Bears and they Construction of the Texas State Capitol was funded by trained there when they the Farwell brothers in return for three million acres in won their 1985 Super Bowl Trophy. the Texas panhandle. Photo supplied Halas Hall was located

adjacent to Farwell Field which included locker and meeting rooms.

In the 1860’s Charles and John built estates in Lake Forest across from each other at Deerpath Street on the lake front, John lived on the north side and Charles on the south side.

Brothers Charles and John were born in the State of New York.

Their folks moved to Ogle County in 1838. Charles moved to Chicago in 1844 and John followed in 1845.

After building mansions near Water Tower Place in Chicago, they moved and built mansions in Lake Forest.

It is quite amazing that they grew up on the farm in Ogle County and then when they were young, moved to Chicago and to become very successful and wealthy.

Charles B. Farwell died in 1901 and John V. Farwell in 1908.

Scripts are based around the movie “Walk the Line” and focus during the era of the Grand Ole Opry, Sun Studios, and San Quentin.

will be serving brats, hot dogs,chips, drinks, and a dessert starting at 6 p.m.

Coneflowers looking a bit peculiar?

Coneflowers (Echinacea sp.) are blooming beautifully in many gardens across northern Illinois, states a University of Illinois horticulture educator.

“Some gardeners have made note though, that their purple coneflowers in particular are looking a little peculiar this season,” said Candice Miller.

Some have noted that they are getting very little flowering and the flowers they do have are partially to completely green.

Several flowers can have odd green growths sticking up from the center of the blossom as well. These are all symptoms of the disease aster yellows.

Aster yellows is a chronic, systemic disease that affects over 300 species in 38 families of broad-leaf, herbaceous plants. Members of the aster family (Asteraceae), such as asters, marigolds, Coreopsis and purple coneflower are commonly affected by this disease.

Infected plants are typically stunted and twisted, with

Moose golf outing is Aug. 9 The annual Women of the Moose Golf Outing will be held on Saturday, Aug. 9 at 1 p.m. at Sunset Golf Club, Mt. Morris.

The proceeds from this year’s outing will benefit the Mooseheart School Renovation Project.

The Mooseheart School educates children who either have lost both parents, or for whatever reason, have parents that are unable to care for them.

Mooseheart and Mooseheart school are both completely supported by Moose clubs like the one in Mt. Morris.

The school was originally built in 1913, and although it has had some renovations since, it is still operating with 58-year-old plumbing and heating system and asbestos ceilings and such.

Much needed additional classrooms will be added as well as an auditorium and updated office facilities.

Registration for the golf outing will be at 12 p.m.

The cost is $35 per player or $140 per team and includes nine holes of golf, cart rental, door prize ticket, meal at Mt. Morris Moose afterward and a drink chip to be used at the

Moose on the same day.

It will be a shot gun start, best ball with prizes for: longest drive (men and women), longest putt (men and women), closest to the pin (men and women) and also for first, second and third place teams.

A Chinese style raffle drawing will be held at the Moose after the outing.

To sign up your team or to donate a raffle prize, contact Ranae Leamanczyk at 815973-3942, rleamanczyk@ gmail.com, or stop out to the Mt. Morris Moose for a team form.

foliage that is yellow or red.

Floral parts that are normally brightly colored may remain green, and petals and sepals may become puckered and distorted.

In purple coneflower, secondary flower heads, often in a cluster, may emerge from the primary flower head.

Aster yellows is a disease that is different from many common fungal, bacteria, or viral diseases because it is caused by a tiny bacterialike organism known as a phytoplasma.

Phytoplasmas live within the phloem, the nutrient conducting vascular system, of plants. The aster leafhopper (Macrosteles fascifrons), a

common insect, moves the aster yellows phytoplasma from plant to plant.

Every time the leaf hopper feeds, some phytoplasmas are released into the new plant, starting a new infection.

“Unfortunately there is no known cure for aster yellows,” Miller said.

Infected plants will not necessarily die from this disease, but they should be removed immediately so that the aster yellows phytoplasma cannot be spread from infected plants to other non-infected plants in the area.

Miller recommends replanting with a new plant that is not susceptible to the aster yellows disease.

School bells soon will be ringing as students across the state begin the new school year.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) is joining with local emergency management agencies throughout Illinois during August to encourage families to include emergency preparedness in their back-toschool plans.

“No one likes to think about the possibility of an emergency happening while children are in school or at daycare,” said IEMA Director Jonathon Monken.

“But as we saw with the May 2013 tornadoes in Moore, Okla., and other incidents, it can happen. A few minutes of your time now can help you and your child deal with emergencies that may occur during the school day.”

Monken offered several

back-to-school planning tips for parents of school-aged children, including: Know your child’s school or day care emergency plan.

Find out where children will be taken in the event of an evacuation during school hours.

Ensure your emergency contact information is up-todate at your child’s school.

Pre-authorize a friend or relative to pick up your children in an emergency and make sure the school knows who that designated person is.

Have a family communications plan and review the plan periodically with your child. The plan should include contact

information for an outof-area family member or friend, since local telephone networks may not work during a major disaster.

Many college campuses offer e-mail and text messages to alert students of potential dangers, such as severe weather and other threats. Encourage your college student to sign-up for such alerts. Some colleges also provide alert messages for parents so they also are aware of potential dangers at their child’s school.

Additional preparedness information is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.

Business News Ben Shaw takes job in Frankfurt, Germany

By Pam Eggemeier Sauk Valley Media Ben Shaw, chief technology officer at Shaw Media, will leave his family’s company for a job opportunity abroad.

Shaw, 38, has accepted a position as senior digital consultant with the World Association of Newspapers, and will be based in Frankfurt, Germany.

Shaw joined the family business in 2004, starting as a systems technician at the Kane County Chronicle.

Three years later, he moved to Shaw Corporate, and was named IT director. In 2010, Shaw was promoted to chief digital officer, before assuming his current leadership post in November 2013.

Shaw has worked abroad before, teaching at Namseoul University in South Korea in 2002 and 2003. He also

has participated in several technology expos worldwide, which is how he found this job opportunity.

“I really wasn’t looking, but when I saw this job and the travel opportunities, it was just too good to not give it a shot,” Shaw said. “It’s a very good fit for my skill set.”

Shaw’s new employer also has offices in Paris and Singapore. He will help develop media strategies for larger media companies, most of which are members of WAN-IFRA. Both Ben and his father,

Shaw Media CEO Tom Shaw, called the move bittersweet.

“It was a tough decision,” Ben Shaw said. “There’s such a great staff and culture here, and I appreciated the opportunity to work with my father and brother.”

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for him, and as a father, I’m very excited for him,” Tom Shaw said. “But he was so valuable to the company, and he leaves big shoes to fill.”

Tom Shaw said his son provided great insight and leadership during a time of

rapid technology changes within the newspaper industry.

“Not only did he help navigate through it all, he made us innovative enough to do some amazing things for a company our size,” he said. “But we have built a great team, and the process will continue.”

Ben’s last day with Shaw Media will be Aug. 22. He and his wife, Joon, are hoping to be in Germany by Sept. 1.

A search for Shaw’s replacement will begin in the next few weeks, the company said.

Beautiful weather welcomed visitors to Forreston

By Vinde Wells Editor Cars, motorcycles, traditional German food, and family fun were featured Aug. 2 at Sauerkraut Day at Forreston’s Memorial Park. “We had very good cars and bikes, the weather was beautiful, everyone was happy,� said Bret Schemel, one of the event’s organizers.

The annual event, sponsored by the Forreston American Legion, includes a car and bike show, a sauerkraut dinner, raffles and door prizes, as well as activities for youngsters.

Several new exhibitors entered their vehicles in the show, Schemel said, and those who attended seemed

pleased with the gun raffle, 50-50 raffle, and door prizes given throughout the day. “More and more people are coming for the sauerkraut,� he said. “And we had bouncy rides for kids and bingo. We had a little bit of everything.�

The bouncy rides were sponsored by Forreston Area Business Association.

Other activities included a bake sale sponsored by Faith Lutheran Church, along with cash bingo, petting zoo, craft booths and ball games, all sponsored by the Forreston Lions Club.

George Marrill, Emmettsburg, Iowa, was in town to visit with his old friend David Menz, who lives in Adeline. “It’s a nostalgia weekend,�

said Marrill as the two poured over a 1962 Chevy Impala owned by the Ralph Genandt family, Forreston.

Delbert Boelkens didn’t come so far. “I live two blocks away,� he said. “I don’t always get to come but I really enjoy this.�

The show is named in commemoration of Forreston’s longtime tradition of holding Sauerkraut Days, a celebration which drew thousands of visitors to town for the meal, parade, and other festivities starting in 1913. It was discontinued several years ago.

Approximately 80 vehicles were entered in the show.

Forreston State Bank gave away 700 ice cream bars to those who attended the event.

higher-level thinking and text-dependent questions.

We want students to be engaged with what they read.

We want them to use what the author writes in order to answer questions.

As discussed in last month’s column our children and grandchildren will be asked to find evidence in the text to support their thinking.

Text-dependent questions require all of these things.

Consider an example from a familiar text. “In the traditional poem ‘Casey at the Bat,’ Casey strikes out.

Describe a time when you failed at something.�

This would be an example of a non-text dependent question. You don’t really

need to read the poem to answer this question. On the other hand, for the question “What makes Casey’s experiences at bat humorous?� the reader would have to go back to the text to thoroughly create an answer.

We can support our children and grandchildren when we read with them or listen to them read by encouraging them to think about what was read.

We can ask them to look back in the text to consider what the author meant and wanted us to take away from the reading. We will be helping them be engaged readers.

Reading Matters Reading goal is comprehension

By Mary Gardner Reading Specialist This column continues a series that looks at some of the terms and tasks associated with work our students are doing in order to meet the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

As we try to better understand the goals set

out for our children’s and grandchildren’s literacy learning, this month we will look at the term textdependent questions.

The goal of all reading is comprehension.

Comprehension means understanding what is read.

Thinking and understanding take place in the brain of each individual but questions can be asked that probe how much the reader understands.

There are, of course, many

different kinds of questions.

Asking students questions about what they read is not anything new. The change with the CCSS is in the kinds of questions asked.

One kind of questions simply requires the reader to recall facts. These are the lowest thinking level as they only require restating information from the text.

Because the Common Core State Standards are designed to prepare students for the work place and college the emphasis is on higher-level thinking skills.

In work situations and in college students are expected to think independently and to solve problems. So our questions need to do better at

asking students to think and solve problems.

In recent years there has been a trend to ask students some questions that have focused more on how the student feels about what is read rather than about what actually happened in a story or specific facts in nonfiction.

Questions such as “How would you feel if you were in an accident like the character in this story?� or “What do you think about sharks?� are some examples of non-textdependent questions.

These questions can be answered without ever having to read the book that goes with them.

The CCSS emphasize

Blacksmiths hammer away at John Deere Historic Site New statue of Deere plow is also unveiled

Car wash will benefit Granny Rose Members of the Leaf River Soaring Eagles 4-H Club are holding an event to benefit animals .

Help the shelter animals by joining the club on Saturday, Aug. 9 during the Pet Supply Drive from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Leaf River Fire

Department.

Club members will be collecting supplies needed to care for animals and donating them to the Granny Rose Animal Shelter in Dixon.

Needed items are: Bleach, cleaning wipes, paper towels, Iams brand dog or cat food,

Purina brand dog or cat food.

Any brand dog or cat treats, old towels and of course, money.

The club will also be holding a car wash during the pet supply drive and the 4-H members will be providing the labor. Any vehicle is welcome for a cash donation to wash it.

Boot scrapers, triangular dinner bells, Celtic crosses, and even a few twisted shovels were just some of the steel creations that came to life at the John Deere Historic Site’s 2014 Hammer In Aug. 2-3.

The biennial event, held at the Grand Detour homestead of John Deere—inventor of the first self-scouring steel plow nearly 177 years ago, featured blacksmiths from several states doing what they do best, hammering steel.

“We have a great turnout,” said Brian Holst, manager of the historic site. “And you can’t beat the weather.”

Sunny skies and 80 degree temps on Saturday welcomed a steady stream of visitors to the site that is marking its 50th anniversary this year.

Visitors could learn about Deere’s early life in Illinois touring his home and the excavation site of his original blacksmith shop where he forged his plows before winding their way past current-day blacksmiths who were happy to talk about their trade to onlookers.

Nearly 10 people watched as Paul Novorolsky, Elburn, made a one-piece twisted shovel at his blacksmithing tent, heating the steel and then hammering it into a usable tool.

“It takes me about 3 hours to make this here because I’m always stopping to talk about what I am doing,” said Novorolsky. “At home it usually takes me about half that time.”

Novorolsky said he uses

scrap metal for most of his projects. “It’s steel from junkyards, scrap yards… leftover pieces. Blacksmiths are great recyclers,” he said smiling. “A lot of what we do is made out of a piece from here or there.”

What blacksmiths “do” is the reason the Zettle family from Forreston makes sure the Hammer In is on their “to do” list every other year.

“We can’t wait to come down and see all this. We just really enjoy it,” said Mary.

When the noon bell rang, all of the blacksmiths hammered on their anvils 50 or so times marking the official “Anvils Ring”.

Visitors also watched as a mega-sized replica of Deere’s plow was unveiled on the southwest corner of the site.

Holst said the replica, which is twice the size of Deere’s original plow, was made from steel by a small team of blacksmiths.

Rick Trahan, one of the site’s resident blacksmiths, helped direct auctioneer Mark Ebert, Polo, as donated items including homemade pies, quilts, and creations from the blacksmiths were sold.

Proceeds from the auction went to the Upper Midwest Blacksmith and Illinois Valley Blacksmith Associations, both event sponsors, to help fund scholarship programs for aspiring blacksmiths.

The historic site held its first Hammer In event in 2004, with 75 blacksmiths, attracting thousands from around the country. Hammer In events have been hosted here every other year since then.

For more information, please contact the John Deere Historic Site at 815-652-4551.

The site is located nine miles south of Oregon in Grand Detour.

All proceeds collected will be given to the animal shelter as well.

Donations can be made before the event at the Leaf River Library or by calling 4-H member, Holly Plock at 815-494-9197 to arrange a pick up.

Painting is up next for new home Habitat for Humanity of Ogle County (HFHOC) is building its ninth home at 210 N. Sixth St. in Oregon this summer.

Most of the major construction is completed, and plumbers, electricians, and dry wall installers are at work.

The next big task for volunteers will be painting.

Jennifer Larson, the new homeowner, will clock her “sweat equity” hours doing much of the painting.

After she is done painting the floors and cupboards and trim will go in.

“We are anticipating an early October move in and dedication day,” said Gail Tuttle, volunteer coordinator.

Habitat does not give away free houses. They build affordable decent housing

through donations of labor, materials, and volunteers.

Prospective home owners must qualify to receive the home.

Each home carries an interest-free mortgage.

The new homeowner makes payments that include the loan, insurance, and taxes. Often this payment is less than rent would be.

Each year HFHOC holds an application event that is open anyone who feels he or she needs housing.

Applicants need to bring proof of employment, tax records, and other documents to the event just as if they were applying for a conventional mortgage.

The application event will be held sometime in September for next year’s build that will be in Mt.

Benefit planned for a fire victim Friends and neighbors of an Oregon woman whose apartment burned are rallying to help out.

Several donations of furniture, clothing, and household goods for Bonnie Hitchcock have already been collected.

Hitchcock’s apartment at 909 S. Fourth St., was damaged in a fire on July 28 after she left for work.

Besides losing her possessions, her dog and cat perished in the fire.

Lisa Schultz is heading up the benefit and said so far

donations have included gift cards, furniture, clothing, towels, and even a marker for her pets’ graves.

“I put this on Facebook and the response I received was tremendous — such a great community to live in,” Schultz said.

Suggested donations include gift cards such as to Walmart or Dollar General, silverware, bath and kitchen towels, bath accessories, shoes size 8, gas cards, pots and pans, rugs, and lamps.

available after each show to talk about these tricks and sign autographs.

For example, the backflip is self explanatory. The rider goes off a ramp and flips upside down before safely landing.

Other tricks like the cliffhanger need a little more explanation. In this trick, the rider leaves the seat and has his feet under the handlebars.

The rider then fully extends with his hands above the head. It looks like the rider is standing up.

The lazy boy is a trick where the rider leans back as far as they can on the bike.

This can be done with the feet on the pedals or for a more stylish trick, the feet can be under the handlebars.

With the heart attack Indian air, the rider holds on to the handlebars and brings the legs over one side of the bike and kicks them in the air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been riding five years professionally,â&#x20AC;? said Bliss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like my whip. You try to get the bike as far to

Sports Column Alumni football game is set for Aug. 15

By Andy Colbert Reporter As I walking by LandersLoomis Field a couple Sundays ago, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. There was a group of young people practicing football.

Could it be the 2014 Hawk football team?

Nah, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be. High school kids arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be

out on a Sunday after putting in five days of practice already. Plus, these guys were substantially beefier than the normal high schooler.

Upon closer inspection, it was a genuine Oregon alumni team prepping for an Aug. 15 game against Winnebago.

And, yes both teams will be in full uniforms playing tackle football.

These games are the brainchild of Alumni Football USA, which has conducted 17 games in Illinois since 2013 and supplies all the equipment. While the concept has been slow to catch in the rest of the state, the northwest

part of Illinois has been a hotbed for it.

Virtually every game has been from teams around these parts, including one between Dakota and Polo this Friday at Dakota. Tickets are $10 and proceeds are split between the Alumni Football USA and the respective teams.

Winnebago is using the event as a fundraiser for a new press box and Oregon will contribute their share for helmets for the Hawk football program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the talk about concussions these days, we want to do all we can for

An eye exam is a good idea, especially if things are starting to look a little fuzzy around the edges.

the high school to have the best helmets,â&#x20AC;? said Shawn Melville, one the Oregon alumni team organizers.

Melville and Corey Fry having been working since last October to put a team together and are serving as coaches. Initially, there were about 40 players interested, but then the enthusiasm died down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like it would get off the ground,â&#x20AC;?

Fry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In mid July, we finally pulled it off. We had 19 guys show up for practice and the state director (Chuck Hulke) was here and said the game would be a go.â&#x20AC;?

Not all towns have been able to pull this off. Stillman Valley was supposed to face Byron, but not enough Tiger alumni signed up. Fry is hopeful Oregon can play Stillman in 2015.

Right now, the Oregon roster is up to 30 paid-up players mostly in their 20s and 30s. Each player must pay a fee to compete. There are even a few names from the 2013 Hawk varsity.

The oldest player is 47year old Al Greene, father of Kevin and the only nonHawk on the roster. The next oldest in Melville, a 1993

Oregon grad.

One doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a former football player to be on the team. Don Jensen never played, but appeared to be in as good as shape as anyone practicing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They asked me,â&#x20AC;? said Jenson when asked why he joined on.

One thing that is certain is that the alumni will use a much different offense than the Wing-T they ran in high school. With both Melville and Fry sharing quarterback duties, Oregon will operate out of the spread. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our strength will be young quick guys,â&#x20AC;? Fry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some size, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look to run short passes.â&#x20AC;?

According to Fry, the word on the street is that Winnebago has a bigger roster with a few older players and they have been practicing more than Oregon.

Surprisingly, these games are quite competitive and well-played. The organization of Alumni Football USA is legitimate and has more than making money as its objective.

Last year, when this concept first came up, I had my doubts. At an alumni game my school (Rochelle)

Andy Colbert played last August, I had a chance to interview a staff member of Alumni Football and found their outfit to be deeply concerned about the welfare of the players and their fundraising.

At the Rochelle-Dixon game there had to be more than 1,000 fans present. It was fun watching football on a gorgeous evening in August and seeing some of the old names from each school go at it again.

It was a win-win all the way around. Hopefully, there will be a big turnout of Oregon fans making the trip to Winnebago Aug. 15 for the 7 p.m. kickoff.

Not only will you be supporting the hometown team of former Hawks, but also helping out the high school football program.

Riding in with American Flag is an honor for Clark

By Chris Johnson Reporter Riding into the arena with the American Flag is an honor for any performer.

Each of the past five years, Brandy Clark, Cherry Valley, has been riding her horse Whiskey while carrying the flag.

“This is my favorite rodeo,” she said during the Big Hat Rodeo at the Ogle County Fair Friday night. “I like the crowd when I enter the arena. They stand and cheer.”

She said the smiles on the kids faces when they see the

horses puts a smile on her face.

“That is why I do it,” Clark said.

Her horse Whiskey is a 12-year-old American Paint.

Whiskey was a rope horse before getting the honor of being ridden with the flag.

“I look forward to doing this show,” said Clark.

“Everyone loves her. She is also good with the kids.”

During the remainder of the show, there is little time for rest.

When finished with the National Anthem, Clark rides around the ring one final time before heading to

her trailer to brush, feed, and water Whiskey, and put all the riding gear away.

She then has to prepare her other horse to ride.

“My big grey horse is named Goat,” Clark said.

“This show is tough, there are a lot of good riders.”

Clark rides Goat in the barrel races.

“I love to ride in rodeos and there is something about this show,” she said.

“Everyone here is nice and friendly.”

Other events during the rodeo included the bareback riding, calf roping, and team calf roping.

The dead grass that some Oregon residents have noticed along the terrace on S. Fourth Street (Ill. 2) is not due to weed spraying by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been contacted by several residents regarding the dead grass on the west side of the terrace along S. Fourth Street,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Bowers, city street superintendent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to assure all our residents that this was not caused by our weed spraying.â&#x20AC;?

Bowers said on June 9 the Oregon Police Department notified him about a truck that came from the east and went south on Fourth Street that

was leaking some substance that was very oily making the street surface extremely slick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I contacted IDOT and they immediately spread sand on this area.

West Nile Virus has the potential to infect people cases so far.

Simple precautions should be taken to reduce the number of mosquitoes around your home and protect yourself from being infected.

Those over 50 should be careful because they are at a higher risk for severe illness if infected. Precautions to be followed include practicing the three R’s, Reduce, Repel, Report.

Reduce: Avoid being outdoors during dawn and dusk when the mosquitoes are most active.

Make sure the doors and windows have tight- fitting screens that have no tears or other openings. Keep the doors and windows shut, especially at night.

Eliminate all sources of stagnant water where mosquitoes can breed, such as ponds, bird baths, flower pots, old tires, etc.

Keep drains, ditches and culverts clean of weeds and trash so that water will drain properly. Cut the grass short and keep it well-trimmed so mosquitoes won’t hide there.

Also, add sand to absorb excess water to the outdoor plant pot drip trays.

Repel: Wear light-colored long sleeved shirts, long pants, shoes, and socks to cover exposed skin.

Apply insect repellants containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon, eucalyptus, or IR 3535, according to the label instructions while

outdoors.

Consult a physician before using insect repellants on infants.

Report: Contact Ogle County Health Department (OCHD) to report dead birds.

They are usually found singly and scattered in a wide area including in stagnant water in roadside ditches, flooded yards, old tires, and similar locations, where mosquitoes can breed.

OCHD collects and tests dead birds for WNV that are dead 24 hours or less. Dead birds that are believed to be dead less than 48 hours and not decomposed can also be brought to the health department for testing.

Decomposed animals can be recognized as having a strong odor, eyes deflated or dried, maggots present, and/or bloated from decomposition gases.

If you plan to deliver the dead bird to the office, double bag them. OCHD facility is located at 907 W. Pines Rd., Oregon.

Some businesses in Ogle County accept used tires for recycling. For more information regarding tire disposal call Ogle County Solid Waste Management Department at 815-732-4020.
