Fire department’s ambulance is ready for duty By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecountynews.com The Oregon Fire Department’s ambulance is repaired, outfitted, licensed, and in service. “We are officially up and running as of Aug. 1,” said Fire Chief Al Greene. “We’ve completed the licensing to run the ambulance in the Oregon Fire District.”
The white ambulance has red lettering that proclaims it belongs to the Oregon Fire Department. The ambulance was donated to the district last summer by Jim and Betty Ferris after they closed the Oregon Ambulance Service, Inc., a privately-owned, not-for-profit corporation. Greene said the ambulance needed repairs and updates and
then had to be licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health, and approved by Medicare and Medicaid for billing purposes. The licnesing and approval is a length and complicated process, he said. For the first two weeks after the Oregon Ambulance Service, Inc. closed it doors in June of 2014, ambulance calls in the Oregon
Fire District were answered with mutual aid from neighboring fire departments. The fire district hired ATS Medical Services, Loves Park, on July 1, 2014 to handle the calls. Since then, ATS has provided an ambulance and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to man it as a full-time, around-theclock service.
Now that the fire department has its own ambulance, Greene said ATS will no longer provide an ambulance but will continue to provide the EMTs through a contract with the district. Voters approved a referendum in April to establish a tax-supported ambulance service through the fire district.

Firefighters battle blaze Tuesday night By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Firefighters from six departments were still on the scene late Tuesday night of a fire that destroyed a garage and damaged two homes on Oregon’s north side. Oregon Assistant Fire Chief Randy Travis said no one was injured in the fire that started in the garage at 606 Timberlane just before 10 p.m. “When I got here, the garage was fully engulfed,”
Travis said. “The flames were so intense that they spread to the house and then to the house on the other side of it.” Homeowner Ann Glaser said she smelled smoke. “But a lot of people in the neighborhood burn so I didn’t think too much about it at first,” she said. Her neighbor Robin Minnis rescued her dog from the house. Travis said the cause of the fire was undetermined, and he had called the state fire marshal to help with the investigation.
Firemen from Mt. Morris, Polo, Byron, Stillman Valley,
and Franklin Grove assisted Oregon at the scene.
Bond is modified for Peoria man Charges stem from May chase By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com Bond conditions have been modified for a Peoria man who led Ogle County deputies on a high speed chase in early May. Daniel Swisher, 40, will now be allowed to drive for work purposes and may live with his wife and children. Ogle County Judge Robert Hanson granted a motion filed by Swisher’s attorney Paul Whitcombe, Dixon, on July 28 to modify the bond conditions. At a June 4 hearing, Hanson had set strict bond conditions
for Swisher’s release from jail that included no driving under any circumstances and required him to live with his parents. According to testimony presented in court, Swisher and his wife were divorcing. Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow said he did not object to the modified bond because Swisher is complying with other bond conditions that include adhering to a treatment plan outlined by his psychiatrist and taking his prescribed medications. Swisher has been undergoing treatment for bi-polar disorder for several years. Swisher’s case was continued Aug. 10 at a hearing before Judge John

B. Roe, who set a pretrial conference for Oct. 14. An Ogle County Grand Jury indicted Swisher on seven charges on May 27. He is charged with four counts of aggravated fleeing to elude, all Class 4 felonies; two counts of resisting a peace officer, both Class 4 felonies; and possession of cannabis, a misdemeanor. Swisher pleaded not guilty to all seven charges. The charges stem from a high speed chase on May 6, Swisher’s 40th birthday, when he led Ogle County deputies from Castle Rock State Park through downtown Oregon, west on Ill. 64 to Kings and back to Oregon where he was finally stopped at the west end of the bridge over the Rock River.

A Mt. Morris first grader has a brave outlook despite two tough health conditions. Emmalyn Freeze, 6, the daughter of Matt and Stephanie Freeze, has already had two surgeries and is getting ready for another one in a few weeks. “She does it all with a smile,” said her mother Stephanie. “She’s a very resilient little girl.” Emmalyn suffers from severe chronic neutropenia, a rare blood disorder that leaves its victims susceptible to high fevers, mouth sores, and infections. It’s something she will have to deal with all her life. The disorder requires regular blood draws. “She just smiles and sticks out her arm,” Stephanie said. Testing started when Emmalyn was just 2, Stephanie said, because she frequently had infections, mouth sores, and fevers as high as 105 degrees. A hematologist in Madison, Wisconsin, diagnosed neutropenia, but at first thought the little girl would outgrow it. However, by the time she was 4 he determined the condition was chronic. Emmalyn gets a shot every other day, which helps somewhat — the mouth sores are gone and the fevers are lower. But she will need them for the rest of her life. She is part of a trial at the University of Wisconsin and gets the shots at no cost. Normally the cost is $3,000 for 10, Stephanie said. Emmalyn will also need a bone marrow biopsy annually to make sure no leukemia cells are present. As if that wasn’t enough, Emmalyn has also been diagnosed with Chiari malformation, a congenital condition affecting the brain and spinal cord. The condition gives her severe leg pain and headaches. Her brother, Colton, 8, also has Chiari malformation, which is genetic. He was diagnosed at age 5 and has undergone corrective surgery. Emmalyn has had surgery twice already for Chiri malformation and will

undergo a third surgery this fall after the family returns from a Make A Wish trip to Hawaii. Stephanie said that although the family has insurance through All Kids, it doesn’t cover all the medical costs or travel. Besides the doctors in Madison, Emmalyn sees other specialists in Indianapolis, Indiana, regularly.
Benefit is Sept. 12 A dodgeball tournament will be held Saturday, Sept. 12 in the David L. Rahn Junior High gym in Mt. Morris to help Emmalyn Freeze,. The 11 a.m. benefit will help her family with the ongoing medical costs. Registration is limited to the first 16 teams to sign up. The deadline for registering is Tuesday, Sept. 1. The cost is $60 per six-person team. Each team may register seven players for $70 if a sub is desired. Register a team now to be put into a drawing for two free outfield tickets to a Chicago White Sox game. To qualify for this raffle the registration must be completed and received by Friday, Aug. 14. The drawing will take place on Saturday Aug. 15 at 5 p.m. and the winner will be notified by phone. For more information contact Cari Berg at dcberg1@frontier.com or 815-997-3118.

Mayor proposes trio of changes for Oregon’s liquor ordinance By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com

Car misses turn, ends up in creek A Rochelle teenager escaped injury when his car went into a creek southeast of Oregon. Ogle County Sheriff’s Police said they were called at 5:42 a.m. Tuesday for a car in the creek east of the T-intersection of Grist Mill and Stone Hill Roads. The driver, Keegan Akers, 19, Rochelle, was ticketed for leaving the scene of an
accident. Akers was southbound on Stone Hill Road, drove through the intersection, and came to rest in the creek sometime Monday night. He then walked home, and the car was discovered in the creek the following morning. Shortly after that call at 5:49 a.m., deputies were called to a one-vehicle roll-over crash near the
A Rockford man remains in the Ogle County Jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond after he led police on a chase that began in Savanna and ended in Oregon. Aaron C. Watson is charged in Ogle County with aggravated fleeing to elude, resisting arrest, and driving while his license is suspended. He was arraigned on the charges Aug. 7 and is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 19. Watson is also facing charges, including armed robbery and theft, in three other counties. He and a 15-year-old Rockford boy were taken into custody Aug. 4 after a foot chase at the east edge of Oregon. The 15-year-old was
Watson’s suspected accomplice and a passenger in the car, according to the Carroll and Ogle County Sheriff’s Departments. He was taken into custody by Carroll County and is being held in a juvenile detention facility. The two are suspects in armed robberies Aug. 4 at Subway in Clinton, and a gas station in Savanna that led to the pursuit. They are also suspects in a felony theft in Freeport earlier that day. According to news releases and interviews with law enforcement officials, around 9 p.m., a Clinton Subway was robbed at knifepoint by two men who fit this pair’s description. At 9:39 p.m., the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department was notified of a theft at
intersection of Rural Road and Valley Drive in Stillman Valley. Police said a pick-up truck diven by Kerry Hughes, 42, Cherry Valley, was eastbound on Rural Road, left the right side of the roadway, entered the ditch, and rolled onto its passenger side. Police said Hughes was not injured, and fatigue was the primary cause of the crash.
A trio of changes to the liquor ordinance could tip the scales and help local businesses. Oregon Mayor Ken Williams formally introduced three changes to the city code Tuesday night during the council’s regular meeting. The earliest they could be approved is Aug. 25. “The first change will allow sales until 1 a.m. on Sundays that are followed by a federal holiday,� Williams said. Currently liquor sales for both packaged and restaurant consumption are noon until 11 p.m. on Sundays and 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. the rest of the week. When a holiday is held on a Monday, the Sunday would be treated as a regular weekend night, Williams said.
“Second is for packaged sales at 9 a.m. on Sundays,� he said. “This is for picnickers and campers.� The Economic and Community Development Committee (ECDC) suggested to the mayor that the earlier hours on Sunday would be an economic benefit for the city. “No one spoke against this and they thought these changes were positive,� said commissioner Terry Schuster, a member of the ECDC. The third recommendation to the ordinance was for consumption and sales at restaurants to start at 11 a.m. on Sundays. “This will allow the restaurants and bars to be open for pre-games,� said Williams. The current sales time of noon was impacting local businesses because other nearby communities, such as Byron, allow earlier consumption on Sundays.
Multiple business owners attended the ECDC meeting last week to express their opinions for the increased hours. Williams said the council will have the option to make a motion and vote on the ordinance changes at the Aug. 25 council meeting. Any member of the public that has comments about the ordinance changes are encouraged to contact council members and attend the meeting to speak during public comment. Public comment currently is first on all Oregon City Council agendas. In other business, commissioner Thomas Izer updated the board on the the sidewalk project. “I appreciate your patience, and in the end it will be better,� said Williams. “We can get back to normal.� Once the work is done, there will be a delay in the project until the new streetlights are delivered.
matching the description of the Clinton suspect. As he approached, the car drove off, and deputies and local police began the pursuit. The chase headed east on Ill. 64, then turned south onto U.S. 52 in Ogle County, then north on Ill. 26. Squad cars from the Carroll County sheriff and Lanark police collided at the intersection of 52 and 26; no one was injured. The chase continued north on Ill. 26, then east on Ill. 64, ending on Daysville Road in Oregon after police deployed stop sticks, and Watson’s car crashed into a Milledgeville police car. Again, no one was injured. The suspects fled on foot, but quickly were caught by Ogle County’s K-9 unit.
They also are suspected of stealing a TV earlier in the day at the Freeport Walmart. Shortly after 2 p.m., employees spotted a pair of men stealing two TVs; they managed to get a 55inch flatscreen into a green Pontiac Bonneville before zooming off, jumping a curb on their way out of the parking lot, Freeport police Lt. Albert Marney said. They plan to show witnesses photos of Watson and the juvenile, who seem to match the description of the thieves, and if they get a positive ID, they’ll be charged, Marney said. Watson is charged in Ogle County with aggravated fleeing to elude, resisting arrest, and driving while his license is suspended.
Ogle County authorities turned the 15-year-old over to Carroll County. Charges are pending in Ogle County. Watson also is wanted on two Rockford warrants. According to Rockford Crime Stoppers, he is wanted for narcotics violations. The Ogle County Sheriff’s Office is working in conjunction with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, Savanna Police Department, Clinton, Iowa Police Department, along with Freeport Police Department. In addition to Carroll, Ogle, Lanark and Milledgeville law enforcement agencies, Savanna, Shannon, Mt. Carroll, Chadwick, Oregon, Mt. Morris and Lee County sheriff’s deputies also were involved in the pursuit.

The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co. 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 of Dixon, publisher of the Sauk Valley Newspapers. Ogle County Newspapers also prints the Mt. Morris Times, Forreston Journal, and Polo's Tri-County Press.

Lowden diary tells about family’s life at three homes 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 This diary was written by Florence Pullman Lowden in 1906, the same year she and her husband Frank built their mansion at Sinnissippi Farms. This year Frank was also busy running for a seat in the U. S. House of Representatives. This portion of Florence’s Diary mentions their life at their homes in Chicago, the Thousand Islands near New York, St. Augustine, Florida, and Oregon, Illinois.
Feb. 1 Probably tasting one too many oranges yesterday was responsible for Frank being sick all night with an attack of indigestion. Feb. 11 At 6:00 we go to Oregon to see what progress has been made on the house since our last visit on 16th of December. Feb. 13 We had an interesting visit to the barns where we saw almost all of the cattle which are in fine condition - the calves being specially satisfactory. Feb. 15 Frank drove in to Oregon this morning and made quite a number of calls.
The Spoor Hotel was located on the southwest corner of Washington and Fifth Streets in Oregon and was the scene a political meeting attended by Frank Lowden. Photo supplied

on the train this morning. May 18 Florence and Harriet spent the afternoon with the Lowell Taft children. (Florence and Harriet are her daughters.)
Jan. 1 This has been a rather gloomy New Year’s Day, and Frank has spent his time in bed again.
Feb. 20 Telephoned Frank at noon. He attends a political banquet at the Spoor House in Oregon tonight.
May 22 I drove to Oregon this morning to see about the painting on the new sprinkling cart Frank is ordering from Etnyre Company.
Jan. 5 Reached New York at 9:45 after the usual comfortable journey. Harriett and Frank dined with us and went to see Ethel Barrymore in “Alice-Sit-by-the Fire.” Did a little shopping with Mama and took Frank for a drive through the park.
Feb. 21 Owing to the hard rain and very high water in the Rock River, Frank was unable to get home and spent the night at the Spoor House.
May 25 Frank went in town to talk with Judge Cartwright about the political situation.
Jan. 16 News came that Mr. Marshall Field died in New York.
Feb. 26 Frank left for Manilla, Iowa, where he has gone to look at a very fine bull with a view to purchasing him for the herd.
Jan. 18 The Field funeral party arrived on a special train at 10 o’clock this morning.
March 8 I went to see the cattle and made the acquaintance of the new bull, “Cumberland’s Last,” which Frank bought in Iowa.
Jan. 24 Edith is busy packing our trunks preparatory to leaving for St. Augustine tomorrow.
March 8 Frank called on Col. Sheets, Mr. Landers, and the barber in Oregon.
Jan. 27 Had second cable from Mama from Naples.
March 10 Frank has gone tonight to the Merchant’s Club banquet as a guest of Charles Dawes.
Jan. 28 A telegram received from Mr. Hitt saying he would not be a candidate again for Congress is a great surprise and means that Frank will become a candidate if people of the district want him, of which I fancy there is little doubt.
April 29 We drove up to the artists camp this afternoon and called on the Heckmans, Brownes, and Garlands. (Artist Colony on the bluff) April 17 I left Honey Creek at 10:50
Florence Lowden left on a train from the Honey Creek Depot on April 17, 1906.
May 30 I made my first public appearance on a platform today. The Ogle County Court Room was crowded and the audience very attentive. June 1 Mr. Pond (architect) came out at noon today and I was busy going over the house with him. June 1 Frank made the address at the graduating exercises of Dixon High School. We dined there, went to the Opera House where the exercises were held and Frank’s speech seemed to please his large audience.

June 3 We called on the Cartwrights where we found an informal gathering of friends celebrating Mr. Cartwright’s birthday. June 5 Bad train wreck in Chana.
June 9 Frank spent the afternoon driving from Oregon to Polo and Lanark to see some horses. June 10 We have a private train car “Constitution.” A very nice one.

Kids learn at Pheasants Forever trip Under the national initiative, “No Child Left Indoors” Ogle County Pheasants Forever recently completed another wildlife educational program with a bus trip to Hoo Haven Wildlife Rehabilitation and Educational Center near Durand. Hoo Haven is a charitable organization dedicated to rehabilitating and releasing, if possible, sick, injured and orphaned, North American wildlife. It also educates individuals about the importance of the conservation of Mother Earth, to maintain the land, and to keep it clean and beautiful. Twenty-eight youngsters from Ogle County attended the two-hour program. They saw up close and personal all types of wildlife from owls and birds of prey, to reptiles and mammals and learned from volunteers how each came to be at Hoo Haven. More than 800 birds, reptiles, and mammals are
nursing homes and churches. Members of the band are from the Rockford area including Leaf River, Mt. Morris and Oregon. The band will perform between 7 and 9 p.m. The Mt. Morris Moose Lodge will be selling food throughout the dance. Any owners with older cars, airplanes, military equipment, and costumes are encouraged to attend. Contact the Hangar Dance publicity chair, Larry Miller at lbmewm@msn.com with what is being brought for a
display. There is no charge for the dance or to participate in the evening but donations will be appreciated. Proceeds will benefit the American Legion, VFW, and the promotion of flying and pilot training by the Rock River Flyers. Additional support for the Hangar Dance comes from the Ogle County Pilots, Inc., operators of the airport; EAA Chapter 882, hangar owners, prize drawing providers, and many others.

rehabilitated each year at Hoo Haven. They’ve been in operation for 30 years. They take in animals based on quality of care needed, the number of pens available, and the number of volunteers available. They have no paid staff. They operate solely on contributions and donations. The director and founder is Karen Herdklotz. Hands-on educational workshops for kids were held, as well as a tour to the river
pointing out interesting plants and habitat. Each of the three groups visited the eagle house, reptile containment area, and mammal rehabilitation hospital. For more information, or to participate in future programs, contact Gary Henderson, vice president of Ogle County Pheasants Forever and chairman of “No Child Left Indoors” national initiative, at Ghender426@ aol.com or 815-732-4553.
It’s time to get your entry in for the annual Harvest Time Parade, held in conjunction with Oregon’s Autumn on Parade festival. This year’s parade is slated for Sunday, Oct. 4. The theme is “Flashback to the 1970’s”. “John Travolta and The Lounge Lizard will be parading their skills on Sunday,” said Marseyne Snow, chairman of the parade. “We also have several bands some from area high schools and junior highs and others professional musicians like the Royal Airs and Sinful Saints. Snow urged local residents to get their entries in now for this year’s event. “We’re looking forward to seeing how Ogle County residents use this year’s theme. Please get your
entries in early so we can finish the parade line-up. The deadline is in September, but the earlier you get your entry in the better.” Snow said the ever-popular South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers have been booked for the event. And South Shore will again perform a post parade show following the parade. “South Shore is always a such a crowd favorite that we have again decided to have them stay and do a show after the parade is over,” said Snow. “Our crowd seems to really like that so we’re doing the post parade show again on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon library.” Other parade entries include stilt walkers, antique tractors, 4-H youth groups, church groups, and
commercial entries. Awards are given for best business entry, best use of festival theme, best float, antique vehicle, antique tractor, color guard, junior high band, senior high band, 4-H group, Scout/youth group, junior high drum major, senior high pompon, senior high flag corps, senior high drum major, queen, and best animal unit. The parade begins at 1 p.m. on Sunday and travels through downtown Oregon. Fees for commercial and individual political entries are $50 for each unit. For more information, contact Snow at mareseynesnow@comcast. net or call 815-341-5559. More information is available at www. autumnonparade.org.

Coordinators are needed for the Rock River Sweep Organizations, groups, clubs, businesses, and individuals are encouraged to volunteer to fill the positions of ‘Section Coordinator’ in each of the communities along the Rock River for the Seventh Annual Rock River Sweep, to be held Saturday, Sept. 12. Section Coordinators are currently planning clean-ups in the Hustiford, Horicon and Watertown areas of Wisconsin, and in the Rockton, Roscoe, Machesney Park, Loves Park, Rockford, Byron, and Oregon areas of Illinois. However, many other areas along the Rock are in need of coordinators to plan local clean-ups. RockRiverSweep.org is a grass roots, not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the health and ecosystem of the Rock River and its tributaries in Wisconsin and Illinois. The group partners with the communities along its banks into a unified, volunteer effort of river revitalization and annual clean-ups.
The group is hoping to have more sections of the river cleaned up this year to continue to improve the quality of this beautiful river. Larger communities may require multiple sub-sections and coordinators to head up each sub-section. Some of the duties of the Section Coordinator are listed below: • Work with organizers to assure a uniform and successful clean-up. • Acquire clean-up supplies and other support from local businesses, (T-shirts, gloves, flyers, waste disposal, etc). • Work with local media to recruit volunteers for your section for the clean-up day. • Work with neighboring section coordinators to prevent overlapping of sections. • Use the “Organizer’s Handbook” (provided by RockRiverSweep.org) to assure a successful clean-up effort. • Register their section of the Rock River Sweep with RockRiverSweep.org and with American Rivers.
AmericanRivers.org may supply free trash bags if registered in advance. • Recruit, assemble, and register volunteers for the event and assign areas to clean-up. • Coordinate ‘post-cleanup’ recyclable-sort and trash disposal. • Arrange for proper disposal or recycling of all materials collected. • Report clean-up results to Rock River Sweep organizers and American Rivers.

Coin to help with memorial The Oregon VFW and American Legion Post are offering a commemorative coin depicting the sculpture on the new veteran’s memorial in Oregon. The Ogle County “Fallen Soldiers” Memorial Dedication Challenge Coin is 1.5 inches in diameter and depicts the sculpture on the front and an American flag on the back. The new memorial, which will replace an older one on the north side of the Ogle County Courthouse lawn, will include a bronze statue of a young soldier, rifle and helmet in hand, on his knees at the grave of a comrade. It honors veterans who gave their lives for their country from World War II to the present.

This coin will be sold to help raise funds for a new memorial on the Ogle County Courthouse Lawn.
Another memorial on the courthouse lawn honors veterans who died in previous wars. The statue was cast at inBronze Foundry, Mt. Morris, and was unveiled May 16 at at an Armed Forces Day celebration held for veterans at Barnacopia. The statue will sit on a black granite base, and black granite walls will bear the names of fallen Ogle County soldiers. Plans call for the new memorial to be dedicated on
Veterans Day, Nov. 11, this year. The coins are part of fundraising efforts for the new memorial which is expected to cost approximately $80,000. Each coin will be sequentially numbered.

Oregon police are investigating a break-in that occurred last week at a home in the 600 block of Jackson Street. Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said the residents were not at home when the incident happened. They reported it on Aug. 8. “At some point during the week, someone forced entry
into the residence and stole some property,” he said. He declined to reveal what was stolen because of the ongoing investigation. Physical evidence taken from the scene is being analyzed by the state crime lab. “We’re waiting for the results,” DeHaan said. He said he does not know yet if the break-in is related to a residential burglary on North Fourth Street earlier this year that occurred while
the homeowners were at home asleep. “Once we get the results back from the crime lab we will be looking for a correlation,” he said. Anyone with information is asked to call the Oregon Police Department at 815732-2162.
The Oregon Chamber of Commerce will host its monthly “Lunch ‘n Learn” opportunity at Rock River Center on Tuesday, Aug. 18 at noon. “This month we invite you to join us for a presentation from Theresa Wittenauer, Executive Director, Blackhawk Hills Regional Council, with 15 years experience working in community planning and economic development in the Northern Illinois region,” said Oregon Chamber
of Commerce Executive Director Debbie Dickson. BHRC is a regionally based, not-for-profit organization based in Rock Falls, serving Carroll, Jo Davies, Lee, Ogle, Stephenson, and Whiteside Counties in northwest Illinois since 1974. Key services include community planning, development assistance, natural resource conservation and protection support, and grant writing and administration.

The funds that were raised help to support the Knights of Columbus programs in Illinois, such as Special Olympics.

I want to thank to people in Oregon and Mt Morris for their generous support again this year. Dave Starke Tootsie Roll Drive Chairman
“If anyone sees anything suspicious or hears anything suspicious, we ask that they call us and let us know so we can follow up,” DeHaan said.
Chamber Lunch ‘n Learn Aug. 18
Public Voice Chamber leader offers update on organization Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Carri Anderson, D.C. and I am the co-owner of Alpine Chiropractic & Natural Medicine here in Oregon. We have been in business for two years this month, and my husband/business partner and I have absolutely loved becoming a part of this lovely community full of passionate and inspiring individuals. I am the Chamber
of Commerce’s current President. Many of the people that I know in this community come together and motivate each other through their shared experiences and through their own drive to see this community thrive. Whenever I see two minds meet here, bigger ideas emerge. This doesn’t happen in just every community. This is just one example of what makes Oregon so special. Over the last year and a half, our new Chamber of Commerce Boards and Ambassadors have dedicated themselves to rebuilding this organization from the ground up.
Let me highlight a few of the things we have achieved thus far: Writing new Chamber Bylaws and Mission Statement. Re-creation of a Chamber of Commerce Scholarship fund ($500). Installation of a large tourism kiosk on the front lawn of the Coliseum. Significant improvements to the Candlelight Walk festival. Raising funds for many other organizations through our Spring and Fall Wine Events. Committee formations for: Government Relations, Membership, Marketing and Promotion, and Events
Accepting a seat on the City of Oregon’s new Economic and Community Development Committee, and many more! We hope this serves to inform you of what we as a Chamber are doing to help the community and others stay involved and unified in our efforts to build upon this wonderful city. We sincerely invite you to check out our website at www.oregonil.com to stay informed with Chamber happenings. All citizens are invited to be our guests at regular board meetings if they wish, which occur the third Thursday of every month at 1 p.m. You are also welcome

Oregon businessman is concerned over state cuts Reimbursements are vital for Oregon pharmacy facility By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com A local business is feeling the pinch of the state’s budget woes. Marc Mongan, owner of Oregon Healthcare Pharmacy, voiced his concerns to State Sen. Tim Bivins (R-Dixon) during a tour of his business at 1100 Pines Rd., Oregon. “Current reimbursement [from the state] is lower than our costs. And there’s talk of cutting it further,” Mongan said. He explained that his business mainly depends on reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid. Mongan’s business is a long term care pharmacy which differs from a retail pharmacy. He supplies prescription drugs to skilled and intermediate care facilities, assisted living facilities,
group home, hospices, and other institutional settings. Forty people are employed at his business to package and deliver prescriptions to facilities all over northwest Illinois. He serves 2,000 beds and has contracts with places like the Ogle County Jail, Pinecrest Community, and Serenity Hospice & Home, to list just a few. His services include specialized packaging, delivery, custom compounding, and billing. Mongan explained that his costs are higher than a retail pharmacy’s because of the services he provides. Melissa Schakowsky, a representative of the Illinois Association of Long Term Care Pharmacies, told Bivins that the cost to dispense is approximately 25 percent higher for a business like Mongan’s than for a retail pharmacy. “Our reimbursements have been reduced three times in the last five years,” Mongan said. Bivins agreed that the state’s situation is dire. “It’s a time we’ve been warning
about for years,” he said. “You can’t keep spending more than you take in.” Bivins said the state is currently
$6 billion behind on its bills. He recommended that Mongan and Schakowsky voice their
concerns to other state legislators, including State Rep. Tom Demmer (R-Dixon) and State Rep. Brian Stewart (R-Freeport).

Hawks down Amboy 23-8 in alumni football game By Andy Colbert Reporter In a drive that took up most of the first quarter of the Alumni Football USA game between Amboy and Oregon Aug. 7, it looked like a mirror image of a John Bothe-coached high school team. The 17-play gem that only utilized one pass completion was indeed classic Hawk football. The only problem was that it was Amboy giving Oregon a dose of its own medicine. Or maybe it was the ghost of Bothe, a 1985 graduate Clipper grad, channeling his spirit onto the Amboy alumni team. Whatever it was, Lucas Payne, the school’s basketball coach and alumni quarterback, led the team to a first-and-goal after a 15-yard scramble on fourth-and-12. With Oregon possessing a physical and numbers advantage, Payne realized the Amboy alumni would need to play ball control and time off the clock, just like the Oregon high school team does in beating superior opponents. That plan came crashing down three yards short of a touchdown, as Oregon defensive back Jeff Wehmhoefer caught Chad Beetz for a loss and forced a fumble. “I read the outside sweep and went for him,” Wehmhoefer said. Jordan Gorzny picked up the loose ball and ran it back 65 yards. Gorzny broke a couple tackles and had a chance for a touchdown, but age and an Amboy player caught up with him. “You can run all you want, but at my age (nearly 30), you still get winded,” Gorzney said. That play turned the game completely around and was probably Amboy’s only chance to hang with the fired-up Hawks. “That was unfortunate and really hurt us,” Payne said. “Everything had been working up until then.” The Clipper defense was

able to make a stand, as Oregon attempted to run wishbone for series with limited success. On fourthand-1, Gorzny lined up for a 40-yard field goal. The former walk-on punter for Ohio State connected and the Hawks were on their way to a hard-fought 23-8 win before a large crowd at LandersLoomis Field. “They were extremely physical, especially their linebackers (Chad Gaston, Cody Merrill, Nick Palmer). I thought we matched up as well as we could,” Payne said. On Oregon first play from scrimmage, AFC’s Justin Lahman, one of the three Raiders on Amboy’s team, leveled Pat Shaulis, letting Oregon know that Amboy came to play. Later in that drive, Adam Davis had an interception off a deflected pass to stop the Hawks’ scoring threat. “We got hurt by mistakes early,” Oregon coach Corey Fry said. “We were unorganized with our substitutions. We need to do a better job of rotating guys in and out. With 36 players, it’s hard to get everyone in
as much as they want to play. We’ll work on that for next year.” After Gorzny’s field goal, Amboy struggled to move the ball, but got it back on a muffed punt at midfield. Unable to move the ball against the staunch Hawk defense and its 36-man roster, Amboy turned the ball over on downs. With Oregon policeman Shawn Melville directing the offense, the Hawk alumni turned to the passing game. The hot-handed Melville hit Shaulis with a perfectly thrown 38-yard reception. He then found 2008 grad Rudy Castillo for a 26-yard score, giving him, giving Melville six out of seven completions and Oregon a 9-0 secondquarter lead. “We had a lot of young receivers,” Melville said. “That made the difference.” With former Hawk standout Nick Snyder bottled up at the line of scrimmage by an aggressive Clipper defense, Melville was extremely effectively in the air, completing 11 of 13 passes for 195 yards.

Sports Column Alumni football game was a festive event By Andy Colbert Reporter It was 2004 all over again at Landers-Loomis Field on Friday night. Or 2012 or 1993. Whatever a person’s graduating class was among the 36 players on the Oregon alumni football roster, each had the chance to relieve
memories from his playing days. By all accounts, Oregon’s game with Amboy was a smashing success, both on and off the field. Townspeople from Mt. Morris and Oregon and parts unknown packed the stadium in support of Hawk alumni. Indeed, it was a beautiful sight to look up into the stands and see a packed house. Alumni band members and cheerleaders, along with the high schoolers made it even more of a festive event. Like last year’s alumni
game, the weather couldn’t have been better, contributing to the overall ambience of the affair. “Oregon’s been great,” said Chuck Hulke, regional manager for Alumni Football USA. “Everyone’s rallied behind it. Corey Fry did a fantastic job of building team and community support. Even having fireworks was a first for us in alumni football.” It was a joy for me to report on a game featuring many of kids I used to cover at OHS, including Fry, who is as friendly now as he was
back then. “I learned a lot this year and plan on maturing this game and becoming a better team leader,” Fry said. “Hopefully everyone comes back next year. I love all these Hawks.” After watching the ‘Bago game and this one, it’s apparent Shawn Melville, the oldest actual Hawk grad on the team, has earned the starting quarterback role. It is very impressive to watch him throw with such accuracy. Here what I envision happening next year. Instead
of splitting time with Melville as signal caller, Fry would become an actual coach, maybe dressing like Tom Landry of the Dallas Cowboys in a slacks, suit, tie and fedora. Other than a playoff game with Amboy in 2008, this is the first time the two towns have played since 1971, the final year of the Blackhawk North conference. According to long-timers, a big fight broke out at the game. That one might be worth investigating to see what actually happened.

Other teams in the conference were Erie, Mt. Carroll, Mt. Morris, Polo and Prophetstown. The following year, Byron, Forreston, Mt. Morris, Oregon, Pec, Polo, Stillman and ‘Bago formed the Mid Northern and stayed together for about 20 years in one of the most geographically perfect conferences anywhere. The alumni game with Amboy was very entertaining and the Clippers (0-4 in alumni contests) gave Oregon all they could handle. However, to really generate interest, an Oregon vs Byron or Oregon vs Stillman game would be more tantalizing. Neither has been able to generate enough interest to fill a roster out. Perhaps SV has a difficulty due to it population being somewhat disjointed, without three population centers, along with a lot of rural area. For something like this to happen, there must be a centralized community support, something that the Oregon alumni were able to mobilize. The game raised $2,000 and that money is earmarked for the school’s football program. Congratulations to all who had a part in making this work, especially the huge number of fans that came out to support it.

Ganymedes compete in vintage base ball tourney Fourteen Oregon Ganymedes made the trip to the Henry Ford Museum/ Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan Aug. 8-9 to take part in the 13th Annual World Tournament of Historic Base Ball. “This was by far the best tournament and venue for vintage base ball that we have attended in the 11-year history of our vintage team,” said team member Mark Herman. “We had to learn quickly how to play 1867 rules, which among other things, does not have the onebounce out in fair territory and allows aggressive stealing and sliding.” The Ganymedes received a tough draw for the opening game on Saturday when they played the Columbus Capitals, who turned out to be one of the best teams in the tournament. “They hit the ball very well with power and quickly jumped out to a 17-2 lead by the fourth inning,” said Herman. “We finally started to hit the ball late in the game and lost 21-11...putting us in
the “reserve” bracket for the rest of the double-elimination tournament.” The Ganymedes’ next game was against the Canal Fulton Mules of Eastlake, Ohio, which is located near Cleveland. The Ganymedes came out hitting early on and quickly jumped out to an 8-0 lead by the third inning. The Mules started to come back late, but Oregon held on for a 11-9 victory. On Saturday night, Nate Minnis, an Oregon native, got the team tickets to the Detroit Tiger vs Boston Red Socks game. “We had nice lower level seats behind first base. It was perfect weather for baseball and the Tigers came from behind to win 7-6,” Herman said. “On Sunday morning we had our first game at 9 a.m. against the Columbus Buckeyes. They have been playing in this tournament for years and expected an easy victory, but we came out hitting and stealing with abandon and scored six runs in the first, four runs in the second and
put runs on the board in every inning after that to crush the stunned Buckeyes by a score of 24-11.” Next up, was a noon game before several hundred fans against the same Columbus Capitals team that handed the Ganymedes the opening loss. The Ganymedes jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the first inning and put up six more in the second to the Capitals surprise. The Capitals then came right back to score four runs of their own and Oregon led 11-5 after two innings. “Then the Capitals figured out what we were doing and scored six runs in the next inning to tie the score at 1111,” Herman said. “Oregon got shut out for the next three innings and then the Columbus team put on a hitting workshop...scoring again and again and again until they put up 13 runs in a single inning and pulled ahead for good winning 2412.” The Ganymedes were eliminated in the quarter finals and ended with a record of two wins and two

losses. “Not bad when you consider we defeated two of the three teams that we faced and this was a very well played competitive tournament,” said Herman. “Playing 1867 rules base ball
is really a lot of fun and our team played their hearts out and had a great experience. We have been invited back to this fine event for 2016 if we again can field a competitive team. “Thanks to all those
Ganymedes and supporters who made the trip to Dearborn. Our final match for the 2015 season will be on Saturday, Oct. 3 at the Oregon Autumn on Parade Festival...more details later,” said Herman.
Defensive plays helped Hawks win From B1 Robinson came up with big defensive stops for Oregon with an interception and sack to give the Hawk alumni excellent field position after a shanked Amboy punt. Setting up at the 14-yard line, Melville wasted little time in finding Shaulis wide open in the end zone for the score and 16-0 lead. On Amboy’s next possession, diminutive Kevin Greene also was able to break free from his nose guard position for another sack on Payne. Facing second-and-long, Damon Quest finally gave Amboy the spark they needed. Oregon’s Tim Danielson (2001) hangs on to a pass as The 2014 grad caught a Amboy’s James Heath (2002) comes in for the tackle. 40-yard pass in traffic to Photo by Earleen Hinton give the Clippers decent
field position. They failed to convert, but a James Heath interception of a Corey Fry pass got the ball right back. With a defender draped all over him, Quest managed to haul in a 42-yard touchdown pass. Ryan Mathesius tacked on the 2-point conversion and the under-matched Clippers only trailed 16-8 late in the third quarter. Chad Gaston, a 1998 grad who flew back from Costa Rica to play in the game for Oregon, alertly pounced on an Amboy onside attempt to stymie their momentum. “This is a rush, coming back to play,” said Gaston,
who will soon be on his way to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Three plays later, it was Melville and Shaulis for another score, converting from 45 yards out. For added threatrics, Shaulis leaped over a Clipper defender from five yards out to reach the end zone. “I pass the mantle to him,” said Hawk receiver Tim Danielson, who was the offensive MVP of last year’s Hawk alumni win over Winnebago. Shaulis was named offensive MVP by the game organizers, Alumni Football USA. On the defensive side,
it was Gaston earning the award. Gorzny, who had three touchbacks in the game, added the extra point for the final margin of victory. The remaining highlights were a 360-degree turn by Castillo on a 30-yard throw from Melville. Wehmhoefer had an interception to stop any chance Amboy had of getting back in the game. “Coming back and being able to play under the lights make you appreciate your time as a high school player,” summed up Oregon’s Josh Revelle.

No injuries at Pines, Lowell Park accident No one was injured in a July 31 accident at the intersection of Pines Road and Lowell Park Road, east of Polo. Juan Gonzalez, 45, Mt. Morris, was driving a white Ford F250 south on Lowell Park Road and failed to stop at the stop sign striking a westbound semi-truck and trailer driven by Colten Meyer, 22, Polo. According Ogle County Sheriff’s Police, Gonzalez ran into the side of Colten’s semi trailer. No injuries were reported. Gonzalez was issued a citation for failure to yield at an intersection.
As parents prepare to send their children back to school or college, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and local emergency management agencies throughout Illinois are encouraging them to include emergency preparedness in their back-to-school plans. “Disasters can happen anytime of the day, even when children are in school or daycare,” said IEMA Director James K. Joseph. “Take a few minutes to find out how your child’s school will handle emergencies and talk to your child about how your family will communicate after a disaster.” Joseph offered several back-to-school planning tips for parents of school-aged children, including: • Know the 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 that current emergency contact information is on file at the child’s school. • Pre-authorize a friend or relative to pick up children in an emergency and make sure the school knows who that designated person is. • Teach children with cell phones about ‘Text First, Talk Later.’ Short, simple text messages, such as “R U OK?” and “I’m OK,” are more likely to get through than a phone call if phone service is disrupted following an emergency. As phone congestion eases, parents can follow up with a phone call to relay more information. Many college campuses offer email and text messages to alert students of potential dangers, such as severe weather and other threats. Encourage college students to sign-up for such alerts. Some colleges also provide alert messages for parents so they also are aware of potential dangers on campus. In addition, make sure students know the emergency plans for their dorm or apartment building. Additional preparedness information is available on the Ready Illinois website at www.Ready.Illinois.gov.

Protect Your Assets Thursday August 13, 2015 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Use your energy wisely. Take on a physical challenge that will pump you up and get you motivated to expand your interests. Staying at home will make you restless and edgy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone will be reluctant to divulge important information. Be prepared to dig deep in order to get the answers you are looking for. Don’t get talked into financing an untested venture. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You are brimming with confidence and innovative ideas. If you speak up, you will leave a favorable impression on someone interested in what you are doing. Networking will pay off.

Your thirst for knowledge will send you in a new direction that will allow you to fulfill your dreams.
