Time for Play Equipment will be installed

By Vinde Wells vwells@oglecounty news.com

This artists rendering shows the new playground equipment that is being installed at the Oregon Elementary School.

Students at Oregon Elementary School will be getting their exercise on a brand new playground in the very near future.

The Oregon School Board voted last week to purchase playground equipment to replace Project PLAY behind the grade school.

Superintendent Tom Mahoney said the playground will be installed and ready for kids within two weeks.

The board purchased the new equipment from NuToys,

the same firm that supplies playground equipment for the Oregon Park District, at a cost of $94,475, he said.

“The park district has volunteered their time to install it,” Mahoney said.

The design was chosen by elementary students, he said.

The playground will be comparable in size to Project PLAY, which was demolished Aug. 8.

The board decided to remove the all-wood playground in July for safety reasons.

Mahoney said an increasing number of youngsters were getting injured, mostly with large splinters.

The demolition, which cost $5,800, and the new playground will be paid for from the district’s Tort Fund.

Oregon’s Autumn on Parade festival is this weekend Staff Report After a year of planning, Autumn on Parade officials are putting the final touches on the 46th annual Autumn on Parade festival, slated for this Saturday and Sunday in Oregon.

“We just need Mother Nature to give us some nice fall weather,” said Marseyne Snow, president of the Autumn on Parade Committee. “We’ve been busy all year planning the festival and now this week we are tying up details to what we hope will be another successful year.”

If visitors to this year’s festival see an object buzzing over the festival grounds, don’t worry— it is just the drone the AOP committee hired to film this year’s event.

“We thought it would be really neat to have a drone shoot AOP from above,” said committee member Dave Boehle. “We hope to use the footage for promotional purposes next year.”

Car enthusiasts and hot dog lovers should find this year’s Harvest Time Parade especially tasty come

Sunday.

Festival officials received an email verification two weeks ago confirming that Oscar Meyer’s Wienermobile will be taking part in this year’s parade.

“We asked them to come and they sent an email saying they would,” said Boehle.

“We’re still waiting for more details.”

The iconic Wienermobile, complete with its hot dog and bun sitting on top of a yellow car chassis, has been traveling highways since 1936 and fits somewhat with AOP’s 2016 theme “Celebrating the Heartland”.

“We chose this year’s theme so people could showcase what they are proud of from the heartland.

The festival this year is already promising to be one of the biggest and best yet.” said Snow.

The ever-popular Farmers’ Market and Craft Show, held Saturday and Sunday, should not disappoint with more than 190 booths taking part.

Through cooperation with Ogle County and city officials, booths are located on the historic courthouse lawn and on surrounding city

Volunteers were busy on Sunday decorating downtown Oregon with cornstalks in preparation for this weekend’s festival.

streets.

Vendors will offer a variety of arts and crafts ranging from handmade wood items to homemade baked breads.

On Sunday, the Harvest Time Parade, has more than 120 entries including several bands.

“Most of the favorites

will be back, like the South Shore Drill Team and the Jesse White Tumblers,” said Snow, who also serves as parade chairman. “Besides that we have several high school marching bands and novelty entries like the Wieinermobile, Bubble Machine, Monster Truck,

Rocket Cycle, 4-H and Scout groups, area businesses and many more entries.”

A post parade show by the South Shore Drill Team will again be offered on Sunday, at the conclusion of the main parade on Jefferson Street in front of the Oregon library.

Also back again this year

will be agriculture broadcast legend Max Armstrong, a perennial crowd-pleaser, who will drive his wellknown Farmall H in the parade.

Armstrong will also be available to talk to festivalgoers around noon on Turn to A2

Scenic ride raised money for the Village of Progress

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Winding country roads and rolling hills greeted an estimated 300 bicyclists to Ogle County last Saturday.

The overcast day brought out bicyclists from all over Northern Illinois and surrounding states to experience the Tour of Scenic Ogle County (TOSOC) a 10, 32, or 62-mile ride.

“It was a fun day and it was nice to see and hear how happy the people were,” said event organizer Scott Stephens. “The weather cooperated and everyone enjoyed the area.”

TOSOC was being held to

raise money for the Village of Progress’s Attendance Grants.

“The reason for this ride was to be a nice fundraiser for our attendance grant program,” said Village of Progress Executive Director Brion Brooks. “The grant helps provide funding to those with disabilities who are on the state waiting list.”

At the end of the ride, consumers from the village were on hand to meet with the bicyclists.

There were a few minor incidents throughout the day, but they were handled quickly.

Republican Reporter Serving the Oregon area since 1851 The Oregon Republican Reporter is published weekly by Ogle County Newspapers, a division of the B.F. Shaw Printing Co., Shaw Media.

The Oregon Republican Reporter was founded in 1851 as the Ogle County Reporter. In 1889, the Ogle County Republican, a competing newspaper, was started. In 1890, the Republican was sold to Ziba Landers. Upon his death in 1939, the newspaper was assumed by his son, Ernest D. In March 1951, Paul F. Behan, owner of the Reporter, and E.D. Landers and his son E.G. (Tim) Landers united the newspapers into the Republican Reporter.

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

Willis Cline was born in 1928, recalls Owl Parades 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 Eighty-eight years later you can spot Willis Cline keeping fit by walking downtown Oregon and stopping by to say good morning to many of his friends.

Willie grew up at 210 S. Seventh St. His brother Carl told me at times 11 people lived in their home.

The following are the Oregon Republican accounts of some of the events during the year Willie came into this world.

Lindbergh called Outstanding Man Of the Past Year — His deeds and his modesty over his achievements outshine all others.

New Postal Rates will Go Into Effect Sunday July 1st — One Cent Postal Rate restored and second class rate substantially reduced.

Still Operators Are Sentenced to Work Farm for 6 Months — The still was one of the most completely equipped ever found in this

section. Ogle County Sheriff Sam Good and Chief Deputy Clint Myers conducted the raid.

Various Interests Getting Busy to ‘Coop Up’ Chicken Thieves — Alarmed over the loss of $1,500,000 worth of Poultry in Illinois last year, a state wide campaign will be started to suppress farm thievery.

Mix-up on State Highway — Cars from three states figured in a smashup on State Route 2 a mile north of Oregon Saturday afternoon.

59th Annual Owl Picnic August 17 — Bachelor hosts to assemble for 59 time at their Island paradise.

Following the triumphal march from the Island to the Roost, the order has arranged for a band concert downtown by the Oregon Municipal Band, following the band concert they are sponsoring a dance at the Coliseum.

The Season Closed Rochelle District Basketball Champs” — ”Indians Beat Fairies” Yes, this a direct quote.

That Speed Dog — Study of distance traveled may prove worth while reading The first car traveled through Oregon 28 years before Willie was born.

Traveling 45 miles per hour

was considered a high speed vehicle.

Sixty–six feet per second that is the distance you are traveling every second if you are doing 45 miles an hour.

That is exactly the distance across the road from fence to fence. Figures and estimates like these have vital bearing upon matters of safety on public highways in these days of high speed motor vehicles.

If you have brakes on two wheels only you can’t expect to stop according to the best records short of 189 feet three times the distance across the road.

This is the best you can expect to do with everything In this old photo, Willis Cline and his brother Carl posed for a photo in front of their in perfect order-dry roads, home at 210 S. Seventh St. in Oregon Photo courtesy of Otto Dick good brakes, and everything, including yourself, in tip top condition.

Useless Good Citizens Here are a certain type of men and women in every community who pose as good citizens.

“When the call is issued to volunteer to put across a community movement and give a boost, they never answer.

When calamity has befallen people in certain localities and charity flies to their rescue, they are never one of their numbers.

“When they see some neighbor stuck in the mud Willis Cline grew up in this house at 210 S. Seventh St. in Oregon. Photo by Otto Dick they detour to avoid him.”

“In fact, if they stood on the shore and saw the ship of state sinking they would never throw out a line. If you are a useless “good citizen” read this again.

A personal comment 88 years after the Useless Good Citizen editorial — Oregon is a great community with the help of many volunteers and people helping others.

First and foremost the people of this community are what make this a great place to live.

Events Willis recalls during his lifetime were the Owl Parades, Wednesday and Saturday nights downtown, and swimming with no clothes on at Sandsucker, now Carnation Park.

After four decades of owning a veterinary clinic, a well-known veterinarian decided it was time to sell the practice.

This does not mean retirement.

Thomas Champley, owner of Pines Meadow Veterinary Clinic, Oregon, started practicing veterinary medicine 45 years ago and his passion for pets is continuing.

“I enjoy pets and I will be working about two days each week,” Champley said.

He decided to sell his portion of the business to co-worker Ginger Albano.

She has been at the clinic for 14 years.

“We both love pets and we enjoy being in the veterinary business,” said Champley.

Emotion showed on the face of Beverly Burkardt as she and her husband Bill accepted their Polo Citizen of the Year Award.

“This is really such an honor for Bill and I,” Beverly said. “Who would have ever thought that we would have this honor? We have so much to be thankful to this whole community that has helped us out tremendously. That is why we give back.

“Thank you for everything everyone has ever done for us.”

Bill, too, is grateful for the support his family has received.

“Wherever you go, you try and get along with everyone,” he said. “Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. People have been so good to me.”

The Burkardts aren’t boastful, and many of their charitable contributions, big and small, are done quietly and without recognition.

In fact, whenever he’s asked how he’s doing, Bill’s standard response is “Better than I deserve.”

But Polo City Attorney Tom Suits, who introduced the Burkardts and gave them their plaque at Monday’s Polo Chamber of Commerce annual dinner meeting, begs to differ.

“Let me tell you a little about our newest Citizen of the Year,” Suits said.

“Bill and Bev have owned and operated Burkardts’ LP

Gas for the past 34 years.

They employ 19 people, all of whom are treated like family.”

They also own Edgewood Golf Course, where the Polo High School golf team practices and hold meets, free of charge.

They sponsor several blood drives each year at the course, and “Bill personally calls more than 75 people to ask them to donate,” Suits said. “For all who donate, a free round of golf is given.”

They have a pink Cancer Awareness truck, they donate to the American Cancer Society and sponsor Relay for Life fundraisers.

“They support many families in need of financial and emotional support,” Suits said. “They also

visit St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and make personal donations.”

They support Shriners Hospital for Children and the Smile Train.

Since 2012, the Burkardts have awarded scholarships to Polo High School seniors.

“They thought of giving one or two scholarships per year, however, the decisions were so difficult, they have given 37 scholarships to date,” Suits said.

They also donated an electronic sign to the chamber, which uses it to promote local events, and gave the city four flag poles.

“Thank you for your service to our community,” Suits said. “Polo is very proud of you.”

Hot chili on a cool Saturday

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com Five teams cooked up some tasty chili last Saturday in Polo.

Organizer DJ Sanders said three teams were unable to attend this year but the five teams that were able to cook served up seven chilis.

“The weather was perfect Saturday,” said Sanders. “It was perfect chilli weather.”

The team from the Polo Masonic Lodge warned both the judges award and the people’s choice award.

The team from First State Bank Shannon/Polo was selected for the showmanship award.

Larry Lannen’s Lumberjack Chili was selected as best nontraditional chili.

“It was an excellent event Betty Bailey of Polo tries the chili and cornbread muffins as Pam with a good turnout from the White and Lori Galor wait on her at the First State Bank of Shannon Polo during the Chili Cook Off on Saturday. Photo by Earleen Hinton public,” said Sanders.

Riders proud to finish the TOSOC event From A1 and he helped change two tires.

“One rider hit some nails in Grand Detour and popped a tire,” said Stephens. “I went out and cleaned it up and changed the tire.”

There were a couple other flat tires during the event that were quickly repaired.

Stephens said one rider had a minor accident after hitting a pothole.

The 32-mile route followed the Bike Ogle County Nachusa-Bison John Deere Loop and Stephens worked with Terry Schuster to develop that route.

“It was amazing seeing everyone ride,” said Schuster.

“It is just a good feeling.”

Schuster was participating in the 62-mile ride Saturday.

“I loved listening to the

riders as they talked about the weather and the hills,” he said.

The hills were a love-it or hate-it mentality for the riders.

Schuster said he heard several riders say they loved all the hills while Stephens said he heard a few riders say they did not realize how many hills the area had.

Schuster finished his 62mile ride at the same time as some of the 32-mile riders and talked with them at the finish.

“One thing everyone had in common was the pride that they finished the ride,” said Schuster.

The ride had two rest areas on the 32-mile route and an extra one on the 62-mile route.

“The stories being shared

were wonderful to hear,” said Schuster. “They all want to ride the area again.”

Signs were posted along the entire route warning motorists of a cycling event and additional markings were painted on the road to give the bicyclists directions.

The end of the route gave riders a chance to see the new viewing platform at the Oregon Depot, which is the start of several bicycle routes in Ogle County.

Ogle County Newspapers, Thursday, September 29, 2016, Page A10

Public Notice This will affect your 2016 real estate taxes

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS 2016 Assessment Publication List Following is a list of all property assessment changes made by the township assessor, and/ or approved or revised by the supervisor of assessments of Ogle County.

Notice is also given pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/9-210 that equalization factors (or ‘multipliers’) may be added to non-farm classes of property to bring each township’s three-year average level of assessments to 33 1/3% of market value. Township equalization factors are determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue’s sales ratio study for Ogle County. Sale prices of real estate are compared to their assessed values, and the resulting assessment levels are calculated. Changes by the township assessor are taken into account, and the equalization factors determined bring the township average to the statutory 33 1/3% of market value. Pursuant to Public Act 88-321, individual notices will not be sent on properties with assessment changes due to equalization alone.

For all non-farm property: Your property is to be assessed at the median level of assessments for your township. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessed value by the median level of assessments. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. Assessments of non-farm property are required to be at 33 1/3% of fair cash value. The assessed values shown are subject to revision and/or equalization by the Ogle County Board of Review and the Illinois Department of Revenue.

Farmland assessments: Assessed values of farmland for 2016 conform to the Illinois Department of Revenue’s “Certified Values for Assessment Year 2016”, and are based on “Bulletin 810” soil data and productivity ratings.

Your township assessor can provide details on how your assessed value was determined.

Taxpayers who consider their property incorrectly assessed may appeal their assessments to the Ogle County Board of Review, Ogle County Courthouse, Oregon, IL. All appeals must be filed with the Ogle County Board of Review within 30 days of the date of this publication. These 2016 assessed values will be reflected on real estate tax bills issued in 2017. If you believe your assessed value is incorrect, you must file appeal within this 30 day period to have any effect on your next tax bill. The deadline to file appeal is October 31, 2016.

Under the authority of 35 ILCS 200/9-210 (Illinois Compiled Statutes), notice is hereby given that the following equalization factors (or “multipliers”) have been applied to certain categories of properties in the Ogle County townships listed below: Brookville/Forreston Buffalo/Eagle Point/Woosung Byron Flagg Grand Detour/Pine Creek Lafayette/Pine Rock/Taylor Marion Mt. Morris Oregon-Nashua Rockvale Lynnville/Dement Leaf River Monroe Scott/White Rock Lincoln/Maryland

1.024 .972 1.033 1.017 1.026 1.016 1.035 1.000 .966 1.023 1.000 1.028 1.024 1.000 1.020

All farm land assessments are increased pursuant to Illinois Department of Revenue’s 2016 farmland assessment certification, and approved by the Ogle County Farmland Assessment Review Committee.

Pursuant to Public Act 88-321, individual notices will not be mailed on properties with assessment changes due to equalization alone. The factors shown are determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue’s most recent sales-to-assessment ratio study, and take into consideration any assessment changes made by the assessor. These factors bring the average assessment level in the townships to 33 1/3% of market value, and they will be applied to certain categories of assessed value. If you believe your property is over-assessed, you may file an appeal within 30 days of this publication. The deadline to file an appeal of the 2016 assessment is October 31, 2016.

32 mile ride was a relaxing way to enjoy the county

By Chris Johnson cxjohnson@oglecounty news.com It is amazing what can be viewed if you just slow down and observe your surroundings.

That happened to me while riding 32 miles Saturday morning during the first Tour of Scenic Ogle County (TOSOC) bicycle ride.

A variety of flowers and plants dotted the landscape along with interesting farm buildings and streams. Some of these I never noticed while driving the TOSOC route.

While driving, it can be hard to pick up the details of a landscape when cruising along at 55 mph.

People seem to be in a hurry and during the spring planting and fall harvest you can be stuck behind a combine and may be annoyed with trying to pass it. The funny thing is all the slow down will cost is a few seconds off your day which is nothing to get worked up over.

I found it funny when I was riding down Lowden Road and was passed by a combine. I never thought that I would be passed on the road by farm implements.

The day also proved that you do not need a bright sun and blue skies to enjoy nature. A lack of sun with cloud cover was welcomed by many bikers because it helped keep temperatures comfortable to ride.

Riding the 32 mile route The TOSOC ride’s logo is a bison on a bicycle and the tour promised a scenic ride with the chance to see bison.

Did the ride have scenery?

Yes it did.

The ride started in Oregon at the Village of Progress and went across the boardwalk over Hawk Prairie to Oregon Park West.

The ride was not even a quarter of a mile in and I was hearing riders comment “wow this is a beautiful area” and “this is a nice feature for the community.”

I jog over the boardwalk a few times a week but I wondered Saturday how many people in Oregon do not realize that the boardwalk exists, or if they do, have never utilized it? The boardwalk links the Village of Progress and the Rock River Center to Oregon Park West and the school.

A quick ride through the park and it was time to head out to the rural roads that

were the highlight of the ride.

First up was Oregon Trail Road west then heading south of Ridge Road to Grand Detour. I have driven these two roads countless times and thought I knew them well - but was I ever wrong.

As I started past the Oregon Church of God the rolling hills were evident and I knew the ride was underway.

At Ridge Road the 62-mile riders headed north for a loop around rural Mt. Morris roads while everyone else headed south.

What might look like a quick bump in the road while driving, can actually be long gradual hill. This was true with hill on Ridge Road between Pines and Harmony Roads.

The one thing I knew while peddling up this hill was that eventually I would reach a long downhill grade to mark the arrival in Grand Detour.

One of the warning signs for riders was spotted on the road at the start of the hill.

Painted on the ground were the words “fast hill.” The sign was accurate as the speeds picked up.

A welcome site in Grand Detour was a sign for a rest stop. It gave me a chance to talk with other riders and have a break from pedaling before continuing on the journey.

The ride crossed the Rock River into Lee County and followed the winding Grand Detour Road to reach Lost Nation Road where a quick jog in the road brought us to Naylor Road.

Personally, the hills on Naylor leading up to Lowden Road were the hardest hills to climb on the ride. I think it was a combination of having ridden 19 miles and being a steeper grade.

Once these hills were tackled it was a leisurely ride to the Nachusa Grasslands.

Were there bison on Saturday? Yep, spotted them.

At the rest stop riders were greeted with the herd of bison off in the distance behind the aid tent. While the

bison were not close to the road, they were close enough that it was easy to tell they were bison.

After leaving the grasslands another long steady hill was ready to tackle.

One rider asked Scott Stephens if she could hold on to his truck while he towed her up the hill.

He had a laugh and said no, but to take it slow and enjoy the ride.

I think he knew that just up the road at Hay road was an Easter egg for riders to spot.

The route was marked with red arrows for the 62-mile ride and green arrows for the 32-mile route.

Just after the 62-mile riders turned on Hay Road, the 32-mile riders that were continuing on Lowden Road spotted a smiley face painted on the road.

This brought a smile to my face.

Once back in Oregon I met a rider when we both arrived at Third Street. She traveled from Milwaukee to participate. She purchased her bicycle two weeks before the ride and had not ridden since she was a kid. Now that is dedication. Having someone to talk with for the final miles helped make the final minutes melt away.

We went through the streets of Oregon and viewed the new train viewing platform at the Oregon Depot. That is also the trailhead for all the new bikeogle.org routes that were created. The TOSOC 32-mile route is one of these routes.

Arriving back at the Village we both said we could not wait to participate in another ride.

It took me just over three hours to complete the ride.

Minor setbacks I spent the ride looking at the scenery and thinking about what I was seeing – well until the 27th mile when my quad muscle decided it had too much fun for the day, or when wondering when a long uphill climb would end.

These two wrenches that

interrupted my sightseeing were easily remedied.

When I got off my bike to stretch, every bicyclist that came by asked “do you need any help” or “are you doing okay?” As a novice bike rider it was comforting to know that the other riders cared enough to check to make sure everyone on the ride was going to make it to the finish.

Encouragement from all the riders was something that was evident throughout the day.

Seventh graders have busy week The seventh grade Eagle volleyball team has faced three conference foes over the past two weeks.

On Sept. 8, the Forreston Cardinals came to a packed DLR gym. The Oregon High School volleyball teams were in the house to show their support for the Eagles.

DLR showed some jitters in the first game as they fell to Forreston, 20-25, despite six service points from

Natalie Roesslein.

In the second game of the match, DLR controlled their passes better and edged out the Cardinals, 25-22.

Jenae Bothe led the Eagles with eight points.

In the deciding third game, the Eagles took charge early and cruised to a 25-17 win, with Bothe serving 14 service points.

On Sept. 13, the Eagles hosted Pecatonica for two

matches.

In the first match, the Eagles took charge early and won, 25-14, behind seven service points from Roesslein.

The second game was more of the same as the Eagle’s offense clicked for the 25-14 victory.

Bothe had eight service points in the win.

Winnebago steps it up and beats Hawks 36-23 Oregon falls to 1-3; next up Byron Tigers

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com Desperate for a win, Oregon looked like it was on its way to one against Winnebago on Sept. 23.

The Hawks took a 17-14 lead on a field goal with less than a second left in the first half, had double the total yardage and then forced a Winnebago punt on the first possession of the second half.

“At that point, everything looked great for us,” Oregon coach John Bothe. “But, Winnebago really stepped up.”

Did they ever.

The Indians then held Oregon to only one first down while reeling off three unanswered touchdowns for a 36-17 lead, before allowing one final Hawk score.

“Early on, they executed well. John knows how to control games,” Winnebago coach Mark Helm said. “We had to play at a higher level in the second half.”

Jace Warkentien had 11 carries for 116 yards in the second half, including two touchdown runs and a fourthdown conversion that set up Winnebago’s final score.

“He’s an instinctive runners that can cut and get outside,” said Helm of the 3-year starter that only had six yards in the first half.

Caleb Mennen was the running back lighting it up in the first half, cracking off a 63-yard touchdown run on Oregon’s first play after Winnebago took a 6-0 lead.

With 1:30 left in the half, Mennen was stopped sort of the goaline on fourth down, but wisely reached the ball over to tie the game 14-14.

“Physically, we were tired in the second half,” said Mennen, who led the Hawks on defense with 10 tackles.

“We played our butts off, though. There’s nobody else I would want to play with.”

Oregon’s second score

came benefit of a play call that Helm may wish he had back.

Facing fourth-and-7 from its own 35-yard line, ‘Bago opted for a fake punt that backfired.

“I wanted to bust the game open,” Helm explained. “We didn’t execute it.”

Taking over with a short field, Oregon used six different running back to set up Mennen’s 1-yard plunge and 14-14 tie.

With a minute and half left in the half, Kenzell Jones dropped a wide-open pass that may have been six quick points for the Indians.

Then, Sawyer Foss’s onehanded quarterback sack forced an punt and Oregon got the ball back at its own 35-yard line with 25 seconds left in the half.

Seemingly content to go into half tied with the favored Indians, Devin DeHaan’s 32-yard run got the Hawks thinking an unlikely score.

Quarterback Cade Chenoweth passed and ran the Hawks to field goal range with 0.4 left on the clock.

After some debate, Bothe opted for the field goal and Jared Pottorff responded with a 32-yard beauty and 17-14 lead.

“Our execution at the end of the half was great,” Bothe said.

After taking over on its on 20 following a ‘Bago punt and with a vocal Hawk student section making its presence known, Oregon looked to continue it momentum.

Instead, ‘Bago’s defense ratcheted up the pressure and quarterback Jess Smith, another 3-year starter, took control of the game.

“Their quarterback did a great job of running the offense,” Bothe said. “That’s a good football team.

“We might have got a little ahead of ourselves at half,” Chenoweth said.

Smith had an interception to set up ‘Bago’s last score.

Two years ago against Oregon, he led the Indians on a final drive that was stopped at the goaline by Garrett Rude.

With ‘Bago’s second unit

in, Oregon easily drove the field and DeHaan had a touchdown as the game winded down.

Mennen had 166 yards

on 16 carries and DeHaan had 64 yards on 11 carries.

After a multi-game passing drought, Chenoweth completed a short pass to

Will Rice.

Kole Mowry played the second half for his first action of the year and had eight tackles.

Yet to win a conference game, the Hawks fell to 1-4 overall with a trip to league leader Byron (5-0) on Friday.

Injuries plague Hawk soccer team in loss to Keith

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With two of its top players out with injuries and another not 100 percent, the Oregon

soccer team dropped a 4-0 non-conference decision to Keith Country Day last Thursday at Park West.

Adolfo Lucas got Keith on the board five minutes gone in the game. He snuck

behind the Hawk defense and hit a shot to the left side of the net.

“We made a mistake in the middle that led to the first goal,” said Oregon coach Seger Larson.

Freshman Josh Sitze had a chance to tie the game for Oregon, but his shot on goal missed left. It was one of only three shots on goal the Hawks would have the entire game. Eduardo Guzman had

the other two.

Keith lost six seniors from its state tournament team that edged Oregon at the sectional final in overtime.

The Cougars still had plenty of firepower, as exhibited by a 3-0 halftime lead.

Zach Rubio scored Keith’s second goal on a penalty kick, a call that was disputed

by Larson.

“That was completely inconsistent on how the referees were calling the game,” Larson said. “I told

our players they didn’t do anything wrong.”

At the halfway point of the first half, Jonathan Prose made a stop of another Lucas drive at the goal. But, Rubio, a diminutive sophomore, set up teammate Matt Oliviera for a Cougar goal and 3-0 lead.

“We started the game passing really well,” Larson said. “The we got down and started playing kickball.”

Specifically, Larson was Turn to B2

OHS cross country teams run at Byron Invite on Sept. 21 The Hawk cross country teams ran at the Byron Invite, held at the Byron Forest Preserve on Sept. 21.

The top 25 finishers in the varsity races earned medals and the top 15 in the open race earned medals.

Oregon had five athletes earn medals. Ian Hussung, Jordan Wilkins, Zack Hawkins, Mayra NavaMoyotl, and Cynthia Nyderek.

Oregon took sixth as a team in the boys race, led by a 14th-place finish from Hussung who finished in a time of 17:10.16. Jordan Wilkins was 20th in 17:43.95.

Other finishers for the Hawks were: Rick Bower, 20:55.87; Austin Schroder, 23:34.89; Brandon HydeJones, 23:35.75; Kenny Bower, 23:36.72; and Andrew Harshman, 23:21.97.

The Lady Hawks finished

in fifth place with Mayra Nava-Moyotl taking ninth in 20:43.19.

Cynthia Nyderek took 19th place in 22:07.60.

Other finishers for Oregon were: Breanna DeHaan, 23:44.07; Olivia Lambrigtsen, 24:19.64; Katelyn Byerley, 24:36.59; Cinja Schendel, 26:04.91; and Lorena Nava-Moyotl, 28:17.46.

Good seeding for Hawks From B1 displeased with lack of movement on offense and limited team communication.

In the second half, Blaine Powell made a stop on a shot

by Keith at the 30-minute mark. Shortly afterwards, it was Lucas going unassisted for a 4-0 Keith lead.

Keith had nine other shots on goal with Jaspreet Gill stopping the rest.

Kaden Humphrey led Oregon on defense with four stops. Nick Zalzalah had two in the second half and Skylar Carlson added another.

“We need to talk more out there. At the next practice, I think I’m going to make them sing to each other to get used to it,” Larson said.

Alex Sitze had hemotoma in his thigh from an injury and had to sit out. Kyle Cermak has mono and was also on the bench. Brendon

Riesselman played but was hampered by a bad knee.

“We had a lot of adversity the last few weeks,” Larson said. “We haven’t been able to win two games in a row.”

Oregon is also learning its way under a new coach and losing 13 seniors, a much bigger blow than what Keith Country Day suffered.

“It’s a different dynamics,” said Sitze, who is playing for his third varsity coach.

“Coach Larson is more analytical and calm and collected than the other coaches.”

Sitze realizes that the 2016 squad doesn’t have the same capabilities as last year’s regional champ.

“Last year’s team had people on it that had been playing together since kindergarten,” Sitze said. “It was senior-dominated. This year is different age groups.

Instead of winning, it’s more about having fun.”

The Hawks got a huge break when post-season pairings came out. Even with an 8-8 record, they received a No. 2 seed in the subsectional.

Another break was Rockford Christian getting the No. 3 seed. Since both Oregon and RC are regional hosts, they would not each other until the sectional. The No. 1 seed Stillman Valley would go to the RC regional, while Oregon hosts the No. 4 seed Lutheran, whom they’ve already defeated.

“I’ll take that No. 2 seed,” said Larson with a big smile.

“We’ve played a lot of tough games and lost by a point or two.”

On Sept. 10, the Eagles hosted the DLR Volleyball Invite at the Blackhawk Center in Oregon.

Participating teams included: Chadwick, Dakota, DLR, Dixon Reagan, Genoa-Kingston, Rockford Christian, Sterling and West Carroll.

The seventh grade Eagle’s first round opponent was Rockford Christian. The first game was close but the Eagle’s serving prevailed in the 25-23 win

Jenae Bothe led the team with six service points.

In the second round, the Eagles faced Sterling. The Eagles struck early as they looked sharp in their 25-18 first game win.

The second game was close as DLR played some of their best volleyball to date.

Sterling squeaked out the 2025 win.

In the third and deciding game of the match, Sterling gained the momentum and defeated DLR, 7-15. The loss

sent the Eagles into a third place contest against West Carroll.

Giving everyone a chance to play, the Eagles struggled in game one, 15-25. The Eagles rebounded to take a very close game two, 26-24.

Allessandra Schelling led the team with six service points.

In the third and deciding game, the Eagles let it slip away as they struggled with their serving, 6-15, to place fourth in the tournament.

Dixon and Stillman Valley are the team leaders in the BNC, with Oregon at 2-4.

Seventh graders have busy week From A14 In the third game, the Indians regrouped for the 2225 decision.

In the second match, the first game was close as each side exchanged serves.

Pecatonica edged out the 2225 win. Abigail Duke had eight points for DLR. The second game was exciting as each side fought

for every point. The Indians won the marathon game, 2527.

In the third game, the Eagles pulled it together for a 25-21 win. Isabella Koertner and Maya Key each had four service points for the home team.

Two days later, the Eagles were on the road to Centennial Grade School to

face Polo. The first game was close as each team worked the ball for a kill. The Marcos pulled out the 22-25 win.

DLR fell completely apart in game two, unable to serve receive Polo’s top server and lost, 5-25.

The third game the Eagles came away with the 25-20 win with five service points from Duke and Koertner.

Sports Column Time for some fanfare for high school bands

By Andy Colbert acolbert@oglecounty news.com With football reigning as the king of fall activities, high school marching bands don’t get much fanfare for the time, hard work and effort they put in.

Forced to play a supporting role at Friday’s “big game”,

bands are probably seen as a complimentary adjunct. Yes, it is nice having them here, but mainstream thinking proclaims football and more football.

Lately, I have been paying more attention to the pregame and halftime acts from various school bands.

I especially enjoyed the set played by Oregon this past week.

This summer, I even wanted to attend a marching band competition in Dixon, but my schedule wouldn’t allow it. So, I settled for

watching the Santa Clara, California Drum and Bugle Corp practice at Oregon for that same competition.

Keep up the good work Oregon High School band and all the others in the area, as well.

Post Season Seedings Post season seedings and assignments for some fall sports were recently announced by the IHSA and the Oregon soccer and volleyball teams received what may be their best draws ever.

What is interesting about the post-season pairings is that previous success is of no value. Oregon has had better soccer and volleyball teams, but those same teams had more challenging road to the sectional and beyond.

It comes down to geographics, teams being bumped up or down and year-to-year strength of area teams. It is such a variable.

How about the Polo golf team? With a 14-1 record in dual meets, the Marcos have a shot to contend for the NUIC title which takes place at Lena on Thursday.

Without much depth, the key for Polo is to milking its No. 1-4s for all they’re worth.

Individually, Bryan Elder of Forreston will be one of the contenders for the league title.

This isn’t all bout the boys either. My vote for performance of the week was a 37 shot by Abi Scheidecker on a challenging Silver Ridge course.

I’ve only met him a couple times, but have come to appreciate the new Oregon boys soccer coach Seger Larson. What I like about Seger is his pleasant, yet competitive attitude.

Just a regular guy doing his thing without thinking he is too important. It was a good choice by the school to also name him coach for the first-ever Oregon girls soccer team that begins play this spring.

Oregon was supposed to play Clinton, Wisconsin the

first week of the season in football, but Clinton backed out because of conference re-alignment.

Bureau Valley is the second area team to lose a game against a Wisconsin opponent. BV was scheduled to play North Crawford, a 7-hour round trip away.

However, the day before Saturday’s game, BV officials got word that the area was flooded, including some of the player’s home and the game had to be scratched.

By the way, Oregon’s non-conference game for next season, which was supposed to be Clinton and then Monmouth, will now be Harvard.

Harvard is in the new Kishwaukee conference with former BNC mates Marengo, BC, RB, Johnsburg and a couple schools from Woodstock. The last couple of years have been a struggle for them in football. Having then as a replacement for Clinton and then Monmouth is about as good as Oregon could have done.

Forreston’s football team continues its march to an NUIC crown and beyond.

Key games are bookends with Le-Win and EPC on October 7 and 14.

With a No. 4 state ranking and state championship pedigree, there is much curiosity throughout the state on how good Forreston really is.

By Oct, 14, the rest of Illinois will have a pretty good idea. Right

Andy Colbert

now, Decatur St. Teresa is considered the team to beat in 1A. More will be revealed about them after they face highly regarded Tuscola on Oct. 7.

After making the playoffs 28 times in last 31 years and having won three state titles, the Pirates are 0-5. Shocker?

No, not really.

This is yet another example of how tough the NUIC Northwest is. Amboy, formerly of the larger Three Rivers, is finding that out, having lost three games already.

Another surprise is Stark County losing three of its first four games. In their defense, the three teams they lost to are very good.

As a likely lower seed, SC will be a tough draw in the 1A playoffs and we all know how much damage they are capable of inflicting to area teams. You have to like their concession stand, though.

Food truck a welcome sight for Ogle County residents Fresh fruit, salads, frozen meat, and cereal were just some of the food items Ogle County residents could receive from the Northern Illinois Mobile Food Pantry on Sept. 22.

The mobile pantry (a large truck with sliding doors on each side) was parked in the lot next to the Ogle County Housing Authority’s Howard Johnston Plaza, located at 203 S. Third Street in Oregon.

“We have a lot of volunteers here helping today,” said Hal Breuer, processing coordinator for the Northern Illinois Food Bank. “And volunteers from the local food pantries as well.

The people here receiving food are here because they have a need. There are a lot of hungry people.

“We try to offer a wide variety of foods,” he said, noting that between 400-500 people would be served during the drive.

“We have people here from Oregon, Byron, Polo, Stillman Valley...”

Jackie Hollaway, of Oregon, said she was very thankful for the help from the food bank.

“With my food stamps it works out to $2 a day and that just doesn’t make it at all so I am eating less than I should be,” said Hollaway. “This is so humbling and just a total blessing.

Thank God. I look forward to it every year.”

A professional paint job can be tackled at home Painting is an inexpensive way to transform just about any space. Many people paint the interiors of their homes, but home exteriors also can undergo dramatic makeovers with fresh coats of paint. Timing the job right and heeding some tips from professionals and doit-yourselfers who have tread the painting path before you can make the job go smoothly.

Consider the time of year Consider local weather patterns and forecasts when planning an exterior painting project. Choose a time of year when there is little rain and low humidity, such as autumn. Keep in mind that the paint will require a couple of days to dry completely and cure, and that can be difficult in damp weather. Don’t hamper the final outcome with poor

timing.

Prepare the painting surfaces Resist the temptation to start painting straight away.

Paint may not adhere to unprepared surfaces, and dirt and other debris may show through and mar the finished product. Repainting a home’s exterior will likely involve removing peeling or chipping paint prior to making your first strokes. Wear protective gear when scraping, sanding or brushing old paint, as such tasks can generate dust that can be dangerous to inhale, particularly if the old paint contains lead.

Employ a chlorine bleach solution to kill any mildew and to scrub any dirt from the house. In addition, repair any cracks or imperfections.

For example, if you’re painting stucco, you may have to fill in any pitting or

holes. Use this opportunity to inspect caulking around windows and doors. Recaulk as needed to seal up drafty areas or those that may cause water infiltration prior to painting.

Prime and cover stains It may be a little extra work, but apply a quality primer as the first coat to hide any imperfections, such as wood knots or discoloration from weathering. Primer provides a smooth, even surface upon which to put your paint color.

Once you have applied the primer, test your paint color in a small, inconspicuous spot to see how the color looks in the daylight. You do not want to paint the entire home only to find out you dislike the color.

Try these painting techniques Rent a paint sprayer for

If painting your home’s exterior is beyond your capabilities, hire a professional. He or she will get the work done in a timely manner, and you can rest assured that the job will be done correctly.

large surface areas. The sprayer will produce a more uniform application and is less time-consuming than painting everything with a brush or roller. Make sure you’ve chosen a high-quality paint, as the added expense is worth it if the paint lasts longer and coats more evenly.

Also, if you have purchased

multiple cans of paint, mix them all in one large bucket to ensure the same color; otherwise, the colors may not match perfectly.

The experts at HGTV recommend working your way from top to bottom in a smooth, controlled manner, overlapping each stroke by eight inches. Trim and hard-

to-reach areas should be left for brush work so you can maintain control over your tools.

If you are painting areas like steps or staircases, consider adding a little finegrain sand to the paint to improve traction, as paint can be slippery when wet.

Fencing can be either decorative, functional, or both Homeowners choose to erect fences on their properties for various reasons. Parents may find fences provide peace of mind during those times when their youngsters are playing in the yard, while other homeowners prefer fences for the privacy they can provide.

Whatever compels homeowners to consider fencing for their properties, those that have decided to install fencing will soon realize they have numerous options. Finding the right fencing material for your property requires considering a host of factors, including budget and personal style.

Aluminum Aluminum fencing is ideal for those looking for something that’s both ornamental and functional.

Aluminum fencing may not appeal to those homeowners whose biggest priority is privacy, as aluminum fences are not solid walls.

But aluminum fences are typically low maintenance, and they can be effective at keeping both kids and pets in the yard. Aluminum fences painted with a rust-inhibiting primer may require even less maintenance than aluminum fences painted without primer.

Bamboo Bamboo is a less traditional fencing option that may appeal to homeowners who want to do something that’s both different and eco-

friendly. Bamboo grows naturally, which should appeal to homeowners who want their homes to have as little negative impact on the environment as possible.

Bamboo provides ample privacy and comes in various styles. Homeowners should consult with a fencing specialist before choosing a style so they can be certain they choose the most climate-appropriate option.

Of course, no discussion of fencing would be complete without mentioning wood fencing. Many homeowners love wood fencing because of its versatility with regard to

Chain-link Chain-link fences may not add the aesthetic appeal homeowners are looking for, but they are relatively inexpensive, durable and functional.

Chain-link fences are low maintenance, though homeowners looking for fences to provide some privacy may need to get creative if they install chain-link fencing. Planting flowers, shrubbery or trees near chain-link fences can add some aesthetic appeal and a little privacy.

Vinyl Among the more expensive fencing options, vinyl can make up for that initial sticker shock thanks to its durability. In addition, vinyl fences require little maintenance, saving homeowners the expense of paying for upkeep such as repainting. Vinyl fencing comes in various styles, and homeowners can choose the style that best suits their priorities with regard to aesthetic appeal and privacy.

design and color. The options are endless when it comes to crafting wood fencing, which also can be stained in any color homeowners prefer. Wood fencing can

be designed not only for homeowners who prioritize privacy, but it also can be crafted for homeowners for whom privacy is not a significant concern. Wood

is a relatively inexpensive fencing material, but the maintenance required to keep wood fencing looking great can sometimes be costly and time-consuming.

Stop the draft with these tips For those who live in older homes, the transition to colder weather can be extra disheartening, as the vision of expensive heating bills, chilly rooms and drafty windows dance in their heads.

However, it’s easy to change the outlook from cold to cozy with a few simple DIY solutions.

The most effective way to improve the comfort level in your home is to properly insulate.

Insulation can be inadequate in older homes. Over time, it can settle and compact, creating gaps.

Topping up attic insulation will help keep the warm air in, reducing heating bills and preventing stress on your furnace.

For easy installation, homeowners and professionals alike recommend a stone wool batt insulation product called Roxul Comfortbatt.

For attics, aim for an r-value of R-50 or a depth of 16 inches.

Simplify the fall leaf cleanup shorter and colder, these changes trigger a hormone release in trees, prompting them to drop their leaves.

This chemical message causes the formation of abscission cells where the leaf stem meets the branch, say botanists at the Missouri Botanical Garden. So rather than merely dropping off of trees when the wind blows, the leaves actually fall off deliberately.

Left untouched, fallen leaves can contribute to lawn problems such as poor aeration, mold growth and moisture issues. Leaves also can cause staining on driveways and walkways.

Prompt removal can help prevent any problems. To make faster and easier work of leaf removal, keep these

tips in mind.

• Mow over thin leaf coverage. If only a few leaves have fallen, use a mulching mower to shred the leaves until they are small enough that they won’t suffocate the lawn. The small pieces will decompose in the lawn, reintroducing nutrients as a result.

• Use an ergonomic leaf rake.

Ergonomic rakes can prevent back and arm pain, much in the way that ergonomic shovels do when shoveling snow.

• Invest in a quality leaf blower. Using a rake is good exercise, but homeowners with large properties might want to use a leaf blower.

These machines can dislodge leaves from bushes and hardto-reach crevices, and they

Pre-winter lawn care tips Winter weather can be harsh, especially on lawns.

Homeowners who spend much of spring and summer tending to their lawns may fear the impact that winter will have on their once-lush landscapes, making the fall a great time to fortify lawns against any harsh conditions to come.

Homeowners must take grass type into consideration before taking steps to prepare their lawns for the winter. Some grasses are best fertilized in late-summer, while others should be fertilized in autumn. Cool-

season grasses, including fescue and bluegrass, are best fertilized sometime between the months of September and November.

Warm-season grasses, such as Bermuda or zoysia, should be fertilized between July and September. Once homeowners have gained a greater understanding of their lawns, they can begin exploring the various ways to prepare their lawns for whatever winter has in store.

1. Explore winterizing fertilizers.

Homeowners who want to make their grasses more

winter hardy can consult landscaping professionals to determine if winterizing fertilizers will work for their lawns. These specially formulated fertilizers, many of which are made exclusively for cool-season grasses, contain higher levels of potassium and lower levels of nitrogen than earlyseason fertilizers. Potassium helps strengthen and harden plants, and cool-season grasses may need extra potassium as winter settles in. Homeowners who are not

work faster than rakes.

• Use a tarp. Rake or blow leaves onto a tarp and then drag the tarp to the curbside or to the back of a truck for proper disposal. Special leaf scoopers enable you to grab more leaves if they need to be picked up and transported. Otherwise, you can use the covers from two garbage pails to achieve a similar effect.

• Work with the wind. Rake in the direction the wind is blowing and downhill if your property slopes. This way it will be easier on you, and you won’t be working against Mother Nature.

• Spread out the job. Do not attempt to remove all fallen leaves in a single day.

Schedule a few cleaning days during the season to make lighter work of the job than if you tried to do it all at once.

Apple pie, pumpkins and blooming chrysanthemums are symbols of autumn. But nothing signals the arrival of fall more than the millions of leaves that begin to cascade from the trees as the temperatures dip.

Many people feel nothing is more beautiful than the yellow, red, purple, and orange leaves that coat neighborhoods and countrysides each fall. But in spite of their beauty, leaves might be a nuisance to homeowners tasked with removing the growing piles of them from their lawns.

Those with large oak and maple trees in front of their homes understand the seemingly endless work of leaf removal.

U of I Extension offers program on small shrubs The Four Seasons Gardening program from University of Illinois Extension continues with a session titled, Small Shrubs = Big Impact and Short Work.

By using small flowering shrubs in your flower

garden and shrub borders, your landscape will burst with color without the maintenance of most annual and perennial flowers.

Extension Horticulture Educator, Sandy Mason, will take an in depth look at the numerous small shrubs

that can be added to your landscape.

The program will be offered on Oct. 11 at 1:30 p.m. .via computer at the Ogle County Extension office located at 421 W. Pines Road in Oregon.

This webinar may also be

viewed from home by preregistering at go.illinois. edu/4seasons_webinars.

Recorded videos of these sessions can be viewed following the program at go.illinois.edu/ fourseasonsrecordings.

This is the second session

of the fall series. The next program titled Garden Pond Critters – Friend and Foe is set for Oct. 25 at 1:30 p.m.

There is no fee for this program, but advanced registration is needed. To register to attend Small Shrubs = Big Impact and

Short Work at the Extension office, call 815-732-2191 or visit web.extension.illinois. edu/bdo.

Preparing a lawn for winter will help in the spring From B6 sure if they should apply winterizing fertilizer can conduct soil tests to determine the potassium levels in their soil. If the test indicates the soil has sufficient potassium, then applying a winterizing fertilizer is likely unnecessary. In addition, homeowners who have fed their lawn a balance of nutrients throughout spring and summer likely will not need to apply winterizing

fertilizer.

2. Get rid of fallen leaves.

While fallen leaves may be integral components of idyllic autumn landscapes, leaves left on the lawn throughout the winter may lead to disease in the grass.

Leaves trap moisture and block sunlight and air from reaching grass, and that can encourage the development of disease. In addition, leaves can harbor insects that also may contribute to disease. While it might

seem like common sense to delay leaf removal until the end of autumn when all the leaves have fallen, that, too, can prove harmful to lawns.

Leaves left laying on lawns for long periods of time can contribute to the same types of damage as leaves left on the lawn throughout winter, so do your best to remove leaves as they fall.

3. Take steps to fight snow mold.

Homeowners who live in regions where snow falls

into spring or where spring tends to be cold and damp may want to take steps to prevent snow mold. Gray snow mold typically looks fuzzy and gray, and lawns infested with snow mold may develop unsightly gray or brown spots indicative of dead grass. Pink snow mold may be even worse than gray snow mold because pink mold attacks the roots as well as the leaves. To prevent snow mold, continue mowing into the fall, even as lawns

grow dormant, clearing the lawn of grass clippings and leaves after each mow.

Thick lawns may provide a breeding ground for snow

Mosquitos in Polo test positive for West Nile virus Mosquitos in Polo are the first this year to test positive for West Nile virus (WNV).

According to a press release, Ogle County Health Department has identified the year’s first positive mosquito pool last week and continues surveillance in the surrounding areas.

The hot and dry weather late into the summer has created ideal conditions and has increased the rate of

Culex mosquito production, mosquito flight activity, and virus replication, the press releases said.

These conditions increase the risk of cases in birds, humans, and livestock.

Humans contract WNV through the bite of an infected mosquito.

The peak period for WNV transmission, particularly to humans, has been from midJuly through October.

The Ogle County Health Department recommends practicing the three R’s to reduce the risk for human cases: · Remove standing water around your home in pet bowls, flower pots, old tires, baby pools and toys, and remove leaves and debris from gutters so water doesn’t accumulate.

Pools of water allowed

stagnating for three or four days become breeding grounds for mosquitoes. · Repel mosquitoes when outdoors between dusk and dawn by applying insect repellent with DEET and wear light, lose fitting clothing. · Report dead birds (crows and blue jays) to the health department at 815-732-7330 ext.. 282.

About one in five people

who are infected will develop a fever with other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash.

Most people with this type of WNV disease recover completely, but fatigue and weakness can last for weeks or months.

Anyone who has symptoms of WNV is urged to consult a doctor.

For more information on

WNV visit the following websites: • Illinois Department of Public Health atwww.idph. state.il.us • Center for Disease Control at http://www.cdc. gov/westnile/index.html For more information on the Ogle County Health Department visit:http:// oglecounty.org/departments/ health-department-2/.

Astrograph Speak up and level the playing field in order to gain respect.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2016 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Until the time is right, don’t divulge information that can help you control a situation. Getting angry and overreacting will not encourage others to support your plans. Observe and learn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Share your concerns and find out where you stand.

Refuse to let anyone pressure you into something that doesn’t interest you. Avoid donating to something you know little about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Stick close to home and the people you can trust. An older relative or a youngster in your life may cause you grief. Do not give in to pressure. Do what’s best for you and your family.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Personal improvements will boost your confidence.

Whether you change your lifestyle or your physical appearance, it will give you the push you need to excel in all aspects of life.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A former co-worker will have a solution to a problem you are facing with an authoritative individual. Plan your actions carefully before you make your move.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should mix business with pleasure in order to impress an influential person.

Networking and finding unique ways to improve your skills and other attributes will position you for advancement.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t sit still when there is so much you can accomplish. Prepare to take action and pursue your goals. A business trip or meeting will pay off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t mess with the rules or regulations, especially while traveling or dealing with institutions or government agencies. Stick to what you know, and don’t assume anything. Avoid indulgent tendencies.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take the plunge and do something you’ve been thinking about for some time.

Set a reasonable goal. Success will lead to opportunity, but shortsightedness will hold you back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Get involved in the game of life. Attend events that will bring you in contact with people from different backgrounds. Romance is encouraged and will improve your personal life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Get together with people you can learn from, and share ideas.

Endeavor to build confidence among your peers. A carefully executed plan will lead to an unexpected and welcome proposal.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- Take care of minor details when dealing with institutions, government agencies or authority figures.

Do what needs to be done and plan to celebrate your victory with a loved one. ©2016 UFS

CHILD CARE

512

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is specifically licensed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))
